  • In case you’re wondering why you’re getting down voted, it’s because you didn’t even offer up a valid argument and instead engaged in ad hominem, which is a logical fallacy.

    I get that correlation does not necessarily mean causation, but if the richest states are almost all blue and the poorest ones almost all red, that is a very strong correlation and trying to claim it is insignificant only makes you seem the fool.

    You seem to be intelligent. Ask yourself why this post made you so upset.




  • Part of it is that there’s less hidden costs. I like it when it’s just “the total is $30” instead of “there’s $8 shipping and a $2 service fee and then $4 in taxes and…”

    I’ve also seen some online stores lure in a customer with a really cheap initial price and then on the last page just slam them with insane shipping and handling fees hoping that the customer either doesn’t notice or feels too invested at this point to cancel their purchase.

    But yes, part of it is also people are stupid when they see the word “free” as if the store wouldn’t move the cost somewhere else.


  • This tracks pretty hard.

    After hearing about how big a flop the Borderlands movie was, I decided to watch it.

    It was so abysmally bad I took psychic damage. Days latter I’m still wondering how anyone could have made those script decisions unless they were actively sabotaging the project.

    I was unable to sleep one night so I starting making a YouTube video about how terrible the movie was. I’d say I’m at level 53.









  • Guys… I decided to watch Borderlands just to see how bad it was. It’s so very very bad.

    Five minutes in it was already a train wreck. Virtually EVERY role was miscast (or if I’ve been very generous, given bad direction). Most of the acting was so bad I thought Kevin Hart did a GREAT JOB! Half the soundtrack felt like it was pulled from Tony Hawk Pro Skater.

    They re-wrote so much of the story and so many of the characters it was like why even bother getting the IP in the first place?

    And the BIG TWIST was that Lilith was a Siren. You know, something that is absolutely no secret to anyone who’s ever played ANY of the Borderlands games.

    I’m just so absolutely dumbfounded how they could think that any of this was good. But sure, blame it on the “cult game” that’s sold over 77 million copies and had TWO successful game releases after you announced your movie.
