    Climate change and overpopulation

    The difference is in the evidence presented by both sides. The denial side is always being called out on fudging numbers. So then the denial side chose to go the government conspiracy route, and the "solar is a very dirty process to make" route. It's obvious they don't have good arguments or...

    Climate change and overpopulation

    Ah, you haven't seen the videos about it, nor heard the audio. He basically admitted to being the person behind several scientists and groups who publicly deny global warming.

    Climate change and overpopulation

    I'd say one of the most damning things that hurts global warming deniers is the fact that you can pull up recordings of a certain oil CEO talking about actively funding global warming denial. As well as both Exxon and BP/Shell CEOs being pulled before congress for covering up global warming.

    I got two trains of thought on kindness. 1. Don't hang around assholes expecting to be rewarded for your kindness. That's like being on twitter and being surprised some idiots are mad that Mr. Beast bought his staff houses or got 100 people glaucoma surgery. 2. Expecting a reciprocation for...

    Best fastfood business

    Well there's three categories for business. Profit, morals, worker pay. McDonald's is the highest grossing business. While Wendy's has funded charities ever since Dave Thomas got it profitable enough to do so. Chipotle pays their workers the most, which averages $2.00 more per hour than...

    Meh, I'm visually motivated when it comes to fap time, so I rather not have it in what I read. I always skim through it in case I miss plot, but I'd rather not have to deal with it at all. I just don't find it sexy or fappable. But I'm a guy, and many of my lady friends prefer reading fap...

    Question(discussion?) about entertainment, art, and so on.

    I'ma disagree. I love me some trash sometimes. Like Rocky Horror Picture Show. Objectively a terrible movie. Subjectively, highly entertaining to experience at a theater. Ya haven't experienced the movie right till the crowd yells "F**k! That! Chin!" Things like visual quality are dictated...

    When is a 1star rating justified

    Ya forgot an option. When the author jabaits the reader. Like taging for slice of life then 90 chapters in brings in torture horror.

    Are Gender Bender, Harem, Romance, GL and BL Tags considered sexual in nature? [Poll]

    I see what you did. You're mixing together the different definitions of sex and applying sexual as an adjective equally to both definitions. Yeah, might not want to do that. Sex 1. The defining dangly bits your born with. I'm born a male. Sex 2. Bumping uglies. Gender bender is the tag because...

    6 Concepts of Magic

    Hmm... I'd split magic as a science from magic as a cookbook. Science is a very rigid thing. You need xyz in abc amounts at k temp and pressure to get the correct result. Where as cookbook has wiggle room and allows substitutes. You still get bread even if you sub sugar for honey, but you'll...

    Are Gender Bender, Harem, Romance, GL and BL Tags considered sexual in nature? [Poll]

    Seen over 300 different anime. I've seen plenty with those tags peppered throughout. And guess what? No sex in most of them. There's plenty of fanservice that's sexual tho. So no, those tags aren't inherently sexual. But there's a level of fanservice in anime in general that could make people...

    Fiction doesn't affect reality. Fiction enhances reality.[Warning: Long Post]

    Of course I disagree. You haven't presented any arguments against it. You're just stonewalling like them creationists. And like I said, it ain't gotta be explicit, but it's a part of every romantic relationship. The payout, and even part of the work in keeping a healthy relationship going into...

    Boycott LitRPG, throw me some old school fantasy,

    In SH huh. I'm currently reading "Unliving", tho every story by Avitue is a non litrpg. "So I died" is just so different that I can't help but see where it goes.

    Fiction doesn't affect reality. Fiction enhances reality.[Warning: Long Post]

    Meh, as long as it's high school I think it's fine. Pretending high schoolers don't have sex is silly. We're not talking erotica here, but fiction that happens to have it as a result of relationships in it. I think there's works that can deal with it properly and even teach them what to guard...

    Difficulty in games.

    I vary on difficulty. Unfamiliar with the game mechanics? I start normal and am willing to go to easy if my learning curve is slower than the game difficulty curve. Depending on how good I get and how much I like it, I'll go all the way to nightmare or hardcore. Example: Guilty Gear X. Loved...

    Fiction doesn't affect reality. Fiction enhances reality.[Warning: Long Post]

    Did you forget the part of English class where fiction is used to teach the language and how to understand the meaning behind the words and stories? You aren't gonna get that with rote memorization of words. Also, I think some works like Orwell's Animal Farm should be required reading. It's...

    Fiction doesn't affect reality. Fiction enhances reality.[Warning: Long Post]

    Maybe for stable minded people, but there are cases of fiction affecting reality for some. The time the US Marines got a lot of recruits from people seeing Full Metal Jacket for one. Another is people taking Apocalypse Now wrong and becoming neonazis. I'm of the mind that reality is only ever...

    NEED IDEAS OF CREATIVE WAYS TO USE MAGIC

    Yeah, a tumor can be noncancerous. A tumor is just an abnormal growth. In overhealing, as soon as the magic power is spent the tumors should stop growing. Magical cancer would require more corruptive magic types to alter the DNA. Just imagine a healer assassin giving people brain/heart tumors...

    "Path of the Hive Queen" maybe?

    First web novel you've finished reading

    I do believe the fan wiki should be enough proof to say otherwise. I distinctly remember people wondering what changes would be made from the web novel to the light novel. Spoiler: nothing major.
