No, I think it's just the polite thing to do, always. You hold open the door if you can, for someone who's going to make it before it would close on its own if you let it. It's just... the lubricant of society. I would argue that only doing that for women would suck, but honestly who just does that?

I think some of this "Liberated Japan" and "Prudish West" has to be coming from people unfamiliar with both cultures. Japan considers us to be basically, immodest sluts. The idea of everyone having instant and constant access to almost limitless free, uncensored porn would be as alien as...

Unless the game is specifically designed to make grinding them fun and relatively painless, potentially at the very endgame, then hell yes. Practically speaking that just means, "Yes" 99% of the time.

Every time I think about logging in to comment, the prevailing topics here always seem to be the same, and they're about as "Escapist" as a hard shot to the balls. So lets do something light and fun, that we can probably all find some common ground in. I'm not Japanese, but my favorite savory...

The scope of climate change is the issue. You should find a better way to ask your leading questions.

No, and I can't believe that anything short of a structure fire would get the decades of DNA out of absolutely everything. If there's a surface on the property that doesn't violently fluoresce under UV, I'd be shocked. I'd rather rent or buy some flats in major cities, and some cottages in...

Your mother. Juuuust kidding, it's just the first thing that leaped into my mind, purely a joke. Seriously though, he cooks, and he hikes.

Natural disasters aren't going to destroy the fabric of our civilization, almost inevitably, in the coming century. You're conflating a local event with an extinction event.

To be honest, I've never understood the need for laypeople to have a position on something they have no hope of understanding. We don't expect them to have a stance on controversies in particle physics, and we don't take their input seriously. The scientific consensus on this isn't just set...

Are... are you me? Are we the same person in two different places? AM I DEAD?!?!?!

Because a lot of people say shit that they don't really understand, now more than ever. In an internet culture that prizes faking it more than knowledge, is it any wonder that terms born in this time are abused more freely? Besides, so many people just log on to argue for the sake of arguing, so...

Honestly, single works and artists can just have that much of an impact. A kind of similar thing in the West was the growing fascination with psychopaths, sociopaths, and especially serial killers. That sort of blew up when Silence of The Lambs hit, especially the movie version. What had been a...

Reading this thread to the second page, it seems like the original post is a false premise; female superheroes frequently date normal human males. In fact, it seems like in the decades of comics, everyone has dated everyone and pretty much everything. Isn't Deadpool shtupping Death or something?

It's pretty much social suicide from college onward, or high school if you attend a halfway decent one, never mind work. If you're still the center of your own little universe by the time you're job hunting, you'd better hope you can do your job in a shack in Montana, or you're the next Steve Jobs.

I'm new so I don't have a reference for this, I didn't even lurk very long before joining. It doesn't seem dead though. I was away for a couple of weeks, and coming back it's all new threads. I guess this place used to be much more active? I'd guess that a lot of that moment to moment activity...
