  1. #1 Trans kids In all seriousness, do you attribute the alternative culture of LGBT (and truly, you're painting with a broad brush - men who have sex with men (MSM) are the main demographic driving these statistics on virtually every metric) on some genetic predisposition to 'degeneracy' or do you consider that the culture of cruising, glory-holing, hookup apps and back-alley meetups is the ultimate result, reaction and response to decades of anti-gay rhetoric and suppression? Lack of education leads to poor sexual behavior, both physically and socially; and MSM don't have tricky things like accidental pregnancy to interfere with their momentum. Add to that the natural inclination of marginalized groups to double down on concepts of identity and culture, and it's no stretch to see these groups embracing a lifestyle that serves the dual purpose of satisfying the desires of its community and flies in the face of its oppressors. Overall I agree with your position. While I don't necessarily feel that the state, in its current situation, is obligated to its trans citizens to aid them in achieving their desired orientation, that ultimately falls into a category of 'why can't we/how do we healthcare better' #2. Abortion You've addressed the front end of the argument, which is regulating the abortions themselves - but 'reduction' does not equal 'elimination'. How does the State of Danger manage the inevitable ward of the state? Those that argue the hardest for pro-life by and large have no interest in dealing with the consequences of outlawing abortions - to date, no one has put forth a plan (that i've seen) that seeks to solve the problem back-to-front; that is to say, no one has said 'let's make adoption and foster care better for huge numbers of unwanted children, then begin to take steps to reduce and ultimately eliminate those numbers'. Is it logical, or fair, for people to only carry water for one piece of a problem? #3. Crime No arguments here, all are very valid points. I personally believe in a radical approach to capital punishment, which is to eliminate it entirely. I believe that the death penalty punishes everyone BUT the guilty party, as people who commit crimes deserving of the death penalty tend to be accepting of their execution or generally unbothered by the idea. Families of victims are denied closure for years while the killer awaits his sentence, and then get to sit in the room and watch that man die - this rarely provides a true sense of justice to the aggrieved, and is more likely to add further trauma since, y'know, they watched someone die. So eliminate it. Unless your society is pathological enough to proudly say 'honestly, we're just making room in our prisons', become a society that does not murder people. Lead by example. The culture will follow.

    Bloodborne

    has anyone used the Beast Blood Pellets yet? I used one in a boss fight last night and it didn't seem to be all that effective. I know it's linked to your Bloodtinge stat, so does the effect scale with the level?
  4. I enjoyed Superman, but it suffered the same malady that has afflicted every film adaptation of DC Comics. Things are too real in the DC Universe. The superheroes aren't just blandly 'super', as they tend to be in Marvel's pantheon. They're fraught with emotion, burdened by unseen forces and overflowing with a pathos that translates wonderfully to printed serials, but falls flat on the big screen. This is the exact reason that Smallville succeeded on the small screen. The reason Marvel works so well is because they embrace the absurdity of it all. There are no standouts - everyone is Tony Stark in the Marvel film-verse. A witty one-liner or Whedonesque zinger doesn't translate as well to the pained struggles of Superman or the pious brooding of Batman. A winning cast of mostly one-dimensional characters (notice how little we are shown of Hulk in The Avengers - we never needed Ed Norton or Eric Bana's origin stories) prancing around while things explode all around them is a recipe for success that can't be replicated with the hard, adult themes of the DC Universe. The solo films are simply a means to an end - Thor's films are so hilariously unnecessary that they can only be considered gratuitous fanservice, and Iron Man's films (with Favreau at the helm) hold their own, but by the third end up depending on the core Avengers arc to stay relevant. Marvel wins at the box office because we don't need to know anything about the characters to enjoy the show. What we saw in Man of Steel was a fleeting attempt to Marvel-ize Superman. Wanton, gratuitous destruction, Clark exercising the full breadth of his superpower arsenal, overzealous and outrageous CGI visuals - this is the same formula that has brought home the big bucks for Marvel year after year, and it stands to reason that there would be an attempt to bring the DC Universe to the same level. But it doesn't work that way for DC. The film is riddled with flashbacks and memories, trying to show us the why of it all. You can't tell the story of Clark Kent in a single movie. A trilogy is the closest thing we've ever gotten to a marketable film franchise. A television show is the best we've ever done. Superman: the legend is too revered to be done wrong, and too complex to do right. (edit: after re-reading this, it totally sounds like I'm shitting all over Superman while giving Marvel a double handy. Not so. I'll at least say what I liked about the film -

    Guitars!

    I don't have pics of Ninety's guitar, and I don't even really know what it is. It's some shitty Ibanez Gio series. It sucks, it really does. It's a shitty piece of wood with strings and loose tuners and broken pots and a bad jack. AND YET, IT'S THE BEST PLAYING GUITAR I'VE EVER HAD. I can't explain it. The neck is the best playing neck, I swear. Clear tone all the way up the neck. When I'm rich and famous, I'm going to have the thing dismantled and put the neck into every guitar I play, because it's just so damn good. I have no clips. I know, hypocrite hypocrite.
  8. May I please recommend this album to everyone, because it is dope as balls.
  9. I am that buddy. It is a good-ass movie. I recommend it to everyone. Nothing really stands out above the rest of the film (though Andy Serkis' mo-cap acting really is amazing to watch, as is WETA's CGI work), but as far as the film's concerned, it's the best prequel to POTA that could possibly be made.
