The best part about Hellboy 2 was Abe Sapian and Nuala's infatuation. Plus seeing the hidden world or whatever it's called.

Actually 2 was probably even better, I think Del Toro started to come into own style following Pan's Labyrinth which really helped 2. I just recall the Golden Army being a let down.

Debt is relative, how is debt growing in other nations? How large is the debt relative to the nations GDP. When the debt is being paid down it's usually when doing so is a better investment than actually investing. David Graeber, famed champion of the occupy movement talks about the origins of debt and how people often want to have good debts with people they want to continue to do business with. What he gets wrong is he doesn't recognize debt at different scales being much the same. Debt in a very real sense represents large cyclical trade networks. To grow new markets you have to shift finite resources and the best way is first allow free market exchanges, but sometimes the initial capital is too high so the federal reserve will create the credit (and debt) to jump start a market which can eventually become self-sustaining. What really needs to be focused on his how much value is produced. I don't think Trump and the GOP are necessarily super savvy economists by large, but nor are the democrats. I have no doubt a lot of that debt is bad, but a lot of it is actually stimulus through the defense sector. Like engineers/scientists/etc. and other high productivity people, who then actually spend their money locally, thus stimulating middle-class economies.

What an Audacious Hoax Reveals About Academia: Three scholars wrote 20 fake papers using fashionable jargon to argue for ridiculous conclusions. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/new-sokal-hoax/572212/ I've been following this the past few days. I absolutely love it. It's like the Sokal affair 2.0.

Cops don't carry out sentences for executions in the first place, so I can't be sure we are actually talking about anything at all here.

Hellboy 1 was legit awesome.

I've told LittleAmadillo0 the secret, but the rest of you can't know.

I already picked a side due to reasons unlreated to the accusations. Well, it's certainly the modern way.

Why do people feel they need to come down on a side? We have a handful of loose incomplete fact patterns, where more accurate and reliable information will make a resolution come down in one direction or the other. The whole process and even more so the reporting, is marred by tertiary interests beyond the direct ruling of this case. People are turning themselves into chumps to prove themselves as politically engaged. Keep engaging the side farces bruh.

I just read that John Carpenter really likes Borderlands 2. Apparently he's a huge gamer.

I always wonder about the diet's of truck drivers. Once you get into a city food options really open up, but on those long stretches are like wastelands. I have food restrictions so it would be doubly hard for me put up with what's available.

It's already out, but I can't tall you what it is. Cause it's secret.

This is the real truth.

Isn't that Joe Rogan's blade?

I'm really looking forward to Vice, The Big Short was one of my favorite films of the last couple years. I like this new direction that McKay has been going.

Chump, militant-activist/fanatic (depending on the person's tact, candor and dogmatism), indentitarian, and neo-liberalism/capitalism, are the more abstract categories of those terms that don't use languages which is meant to be explicitly partisan and tribal. Those other terms are just lazy, reactionary, partisanly-spiteful, and imply an ultimate alternative that lacks nuance. The common usage with those terms is also as an insult rather to discuss some triangulated subject matter between two people. Even if the language let's you call out some specific instance of those broader categories, you exclude the more abstract examples from your scorn, which again means the messaging will always be partisan. Take sjw for example. People forget that early in the web, people were criticized as being keyboard warriors. An insult to call out those who acted militantly. Social justice seems almost axiomatically like something we should strive for, but the insult ties together the pursuit of social justice with the militant behavior. Even if social justice is only being used as an adjective to narrow down the instance of warriorism. The choice of language omits the broader category. Even if one's usage of the term is not meant to be selectively-apologetic over certain types of militancy, there is no way for a receiver to know for sure. People are left with what they perceive and certain choices of words sets up explicit partisan implications.

I think there is a middle ground where the author get's a fairer compensation and CDPR maintains feasible margins to continue making more money. If the licensing fees were too high early on, CDPR would be less likely to have made it up to the highly successful third entry.

I see gun rights as a means of protecting oneself when away from timely police dispatch or outside of police jurisdiction. It's also a deterrent from unlawful seizure or trespassing because no office wants to risk their life butting heads with someone who will defend their own rights. What guns aren't, is the solution to things like assault. It's a reaction, it's a precaution, it's a deterrent if you open carry. What is desired is to not even have to take such precautions. Which is why the prescription should be could, not should. Obviously, a Woman Democrat is going to seek out ways to mitigate assault in the first place, and not just because they needs some solution that would work if the 2nd were to vanish. Suggesting instead they should be carrying guns as the way to deter assault since it will happens anyways is the wrong prescription.

I am so sick of origins movies. The almost always are bad, they always have to hit the same key-moments for the character's development. Since they are setting up a character for a franchise, they all have to get them ready for what they need to become. I just hate it. Maybe the films work for people with fresh eyes, but it's gotten to be point where I feel I'm wasting my life watching these derivative plot structures.

Good stuff
