So if they start 'in range' then why would the battleground matter? You recall the whole point of armored vehicles is that they move right? Why not a dreadnought against Festung Hanstholm or Ouvrage Hackenberg at that point? Within range, not necessarily within line-of-sight. Trees in a forest, bui...

Starting to think Ed Harris might be part of whatever it is Anthony Hopkins is up to, seeing as he knew about Arnold and other information which was 'suppressed.' Also interesting to see how they deal with "Killing/raping people in front of children" problem. I guess if the hosts do rise u...

People, calm down. This is just some nobody showing how ignorant they are. Nothing more. It's barely worth comment. It's not like she's running for a high political office that could damage modern civilization or something. She's not likely to change her views, and anyone stupid enough to fall for ...

So is it just a case of Russia being incapable of doing two things at once (propping up Assad and supporting the "Ukrainian Separatists"), or is it part of some longer game that they've allowed this conflict to simmer for so long?

Figured this might be a bit more fair than the previous mess. A Space Marine Dreadnought of the Ultramarines Chapter faces off against a US M1A2 Abrams. The Abrams is fitted with TUSK, the Dreadnought has twin-linked lascannons for its left arm, it's right arm ends in a power fist with attached stor...

Speaking of the Man in Black, really loved his reloading scene. The LeMat is one of my favorite weapons and to see it in such detail is nice. Would have preferred it not used to shoot a mother and threaten some kid but whatever. Isn't the LeMat a black-powder pistol though? Were there every real-li...

Doesn't say, though I assume there's just a big pile of raw material ear-marked for the DS construction which accounts for both what's needed to build the station and get the droids going (unless they stole the same magical "stuff outta nowhere" tech used for the DS9 wormhole mines).

You may not realise this, Jordie, but there are seven billion people in the world. Not commenting on the actions of one in particular is not the same as condoning their actions. Yeah, while admirable not everyone has the time and/or inclination to scroll through news feeds and track down every stor...

I'm fairly certain that they're referring specifically to the first Death Star, since they say "the Death Star" which I've always taken to imply the first one. Anyways, getting the OT ones out of the way in one fell swoop. Besides the DSII shrinkage, as was noted in the other thread they'v...

My objection is to the DELIGHT in death and destruction. The applauding of killing. Blind hatred can be an ugly thing. Though you could chalk it up to a zealot-like adherence to an narrow ideological viewpoint, but after a certain point the two kinda meld together. I am curious though if the warshi...

Oh they will always come up with some excuse - "It's all the kyber crystals, they can't actually produce that much energy", "There's only one Starkiller Base-like planet in the whole galaxy, they can't find more" - but nevertheless for the smart people yeah, it still is amazing t...

From what I've seen thus far they're obviously not going with the standard "robit rebellion" cliché but I'm curious if they're going to stick with the "humans are just so awful compared to their creations" or throw a curveball in there. Also -10 points for insufficient amount of ...

Ep. II Kenobi struggles to hold on to the speeding assassin droid as it repeatedly sends defensive electrical shocks into his unprotected hands. Several skylanes below him, Anakin pilots his airspeeder, using the Force to seek his Master and hoping that the droid will lead him to the unknown assassi...

For that matter, is a diameter of 660km consistent with the visuals in the film? Is it small enough that it would produce visible curvature absent from what we see of the surface? Doubtful, although the Rebels Resistance were helpful enough to put up a size comparison display of the first Death Sta...

The release of this book is just further proof of a point I've come to regard with the Legends/Disney split: it was only ever to provide a clean slate for post-Endor storytelling and everything before then would eventually be 're-canonized.' Case in point, this new Complete Locations, which includes...

Thing is... that change of the public's opinion resulted in anti-Semites experiencing, well... a chilling effect. People who, in 1935, would have publicly trashed Jews and blamed them for all sorts of social problems, know that if they do so today, they will become pariahs. They will lose the respe...

From a moral standpoint, yes. Personally, my sympathies lie with the students. This is mainly because students don't seem to have much of an external motivation to try to block speech. If you honestly believe that I have a bridge you might be interested in. College students if anything are just as ...

Excuse me, who are you talking to here? Are you crossing my arguments with maraxus? Because I was under the impression we were speaking of a term and what rights people have in deciding its usage. Can you point to where in this conversation I was arguing about disinviting? I can understand your con...

lol. You're the one who brought up OH NOEZ IDENTITY POLITICS and I followed it up with a logical extrapolation from your reasoning. If you can't handle the result, I'm sorry? No, it was torturous reasoning based on a strawman assumption. Arguing a school shouldn't disinvite a controversial speaker ...

There's an even bigger difference: one takes place because the powers-that-be in a university's administration deems the speech unwelcome, while the other happens because students themselves to not want it. In which case a decision ought to be made about who should have the power to decide what is ...

In KSP news, they've had the official PS4 release. Seeing as I do not own a PS4 and already have the game for computer, it is unlikely I'll ever try it on PS4. But this is definitely a good thing for console gamers that don't have the money to get a decent gaming PC/don't have an interest in gaming...

BTW Balrog, I don't care if someone has been diagnosed or not to maybe need a safe place. That in no way says they shouldn't see a mental health professional. Look you dumb fuck, if you're going to insult me at least don't get your arguments crossed. People who need a "trigger warning" ar...

Next up: A panel of cis dudes meet to determine if calling transgender people "trannies" should be the norm. Give me a fucking break, that's not what's going on here and you know it. I'm not asking you for me to "win" this debate. I really don't care at all about "winning&q...

Please don't be disingenuous with me. Banning someone from speaking on campus and exercising the heckler's veto over a speaker are two totally different things. Yeah, one takes place before the speech starts, the other takes place during the middle of the speech. Same effect. It's not an abridgment...

I don't care if professionals have diagnosed them or not. Most rapes go unreported. Yes, god forbid people get diagnosed and receive treatment that actually helps them, you'd have to be just fucking crazy to believe in such an oppressive idea. That's why people should also stop going to doctors to ...
