A common rebuttal I've heard is that we entered into some food deals with them around that time. Because we all know compassion for hungry peasants was far more important to the Soviets at the time over embarrassing America.

I like going through the #freemilo posts on Twitter and reporting people that continue to harass Leslie Jones. Also, a lot of people seem to have this odd belief that Breitbart holds a lot of power.

Gamergate and co are pretty good at hiding their real identity, but a couple of times I've managed to trace careless people to an employer, and sent them an email detailing the views of their employee. It's not intended as a troll or petty revenge - the hope is that by bringing their appalling speech into the real world, they'll start to feel the shame and pressure that makes everyone else think twice, or even better, reconsider their views.

To be fair, Pokémon Go is aggressively pandering to people in their 20s. That's why it's all first generation pokemon. Doesn't mean it's worth getting mad about considering the reason people like Pokemon because it came out in their youth.

It's totally only first gen pokemon so they can release Pokemon Go 2 later on that's only second gen pokemon once the popularity of this one drops.

This is good.

I seem to recall in my early twenties wondering whether or not we had really gone to the moon, mostly because at the time it seemed pretty pointless. But as someone already pointed out, the next thought was "wait a sec. How on earth could they possibly keep a secret so big with the entire world watching?" Then came the recoil: extreme distaste for the true believers who just won't let their pet theory go, leaving me to feel like the guy from Interstellar talking to a bunch of idiots at his daughters school (crap movie, but good scene).

And those pokemon are also 17 years old, so it would still be well before the time of most kids unless they played the remakes.

I'm just saying, they'll get more money out of it by stretching it out over generations in release order than if they just dropped out one of the more modern ones and went home. Also the red and green remakes came out in 2004. Geeze, I thought it was less than twelve years.

I mean, they were GBA games. So far they've hinted they'll add more to the game. Probably not a whole new app.

Yes, I have played the new games. But their role is diminished compared to whatever the newest gen is and the Pokémon Go roster is clearly aimed at the "ORIGINAL 151 OR NOTHING" crowd.

Correction, adults can consent to sex when drunk. Or does drunk driving not count anymore?

If you can be charged with drunk driving then your competent to make a decision when drunk.

That's a really good argument. If "I was drunk, I can't consent" works for rape, then "I was drunk, I didn't choose to drive" should for DUI

Does he think the rapist is given a free pass when they're drunk? Cause I don't think a person in the passenger seat gets a DUI since they are only sitting while drunk, not driving while drunk.

Excellent find, LOB! This is one of the dumbest comments about rape I have ever read.

Looks like the game of my dreams. Too bad it's Ubisoft so it'll probably be mediocre and run like poo poo. I'll probably pirate it to avoid Uplay.

No, he thinks most rape victims are just drunk women females who regret it afterwards and then call rape. And do so, just to ruin the lives of the innocent man whose only crime was loving a passed out woman whore who didn't say no, so that totally means she consented right?

It's sad that bullshit is almost guaranteed to be posted whenever the topic of either consent or drunk driving comes up on Imgur. It's not even like a particularly awful person, it's a group of people. Probably the same group of frat boys chanting "No means yes! Yes means anal!" on college campuses.

Kubrick never wanted to film on location though. He didn't want to go too far from his home in England. that's why they filmed Vietnam at some deserted factory near London
