I can believe that a plant based diet is healthy, but there’s no way that study proves “No exercise, all you can eat weight loss”.

There are a multitude of problems with it, starting with the tiny sample size and selection bias.

That seems a little harsh given the vast majority of the car owning public can’t afford a BEV.

Although parking in a charging station is definitely a dick move.

Honestly, my first reaction was "wow, 10 is very young to be doing that kind of weightlifting".

But...

a quick google reveals that strength training is fine from about 7 to 8 onwards.

So, it's not hurting her, she likes it and it's keeping her fit and healthy... great stuff!!

This certainly isn't wheels, it's not really nature and I can't really see kids being interested in a 40-year-old song about a prostitute.

Good on ya, dude.

The tattoo is just Starbucks tattoo from BSG

Watch image is from Metropolis, I think.

Origami is from Blade Runner, car too I think.
Quark was a bar tender on Star Trek : Deep Space 9

Also pretty sure the lab techs have Dharma Initiative patches from Lost

Those bird people really need a union and a health and safety officer

Yeah, it’s a tricky problem.

I while there are certainly cases where an employee can impact their employers business through their beliefs, statements or actions, in general I think the burden of proof should be on the employer.

And there’s certainly no way an employee should ever be made to sign something like this.

And for the record, it goes the other way too. If a “liberal” company fired someone for refusing to sign an anti trump thing, they’d be wrong too.

Hmm, just looked up the case again and it looks like you’re right.

It’s probably still a dumb move, and it shows an astonishing lack of people skills (if someone asks for feedback and you’re going to be highly critical of not only them but the company, do it privately; don’t email the whole company), but he probably didn’t deserve to be fired.

Doesn’t change the facts of this case though.

Also plenty of vehicles don’t have side airbags.

I also don’t really think the title is fair. The police didn’t cause the accident, the asshole in the car did.

That said, @newtboy is right, it was very poorly managed.

“He also is unaware of the powers of his right hand and begins to learn the truth about it over the course of the film, testing his already-strained relationship with his adopted dad Trevor Bruttenholm”

Fair enough, it’s not an origin story, but that doesn’t sound a million miles away from the plot of the first movie.

That said, I loved both of those movies and this (despite the lack of Del Toro) looks great too.

Ok, I was going to keep silent, because I am no way an expert on Maori culture, but this is just so full of bullshit.

1: There are obviously Maori people at that wedding... the bride for instance.
2: Women do perform haka, it's just traditionally different from mens haka, but even that is changing/
3: Pakeha can't perform Haka? Tell that to the All Blacks... just make sure your health insurance is paid up first.
4: There are no full-blood Maori's left.... oh fuck right off with that nonsense. There are no "full blood" anybody of any kind left. Doesn't make you any less Maori if that's your culture.

And Kapa Haka can be performed for all kinds of reasons. You can perform a haka to welcome someone to a marae for example.

Without wanting to re-litigate the Damore case, I feel like there's a subtle but crucial difference in those two cases.

AFAIK, Damore was fired because he actively did something; he wrote an internal memo to Google.

If Google had required him to sign something supporting gender diversity or whatever, that would be more comparable.

I honestly thought that was one of the scariest episodes of Black Mirror.

I think I'll take the killer robot dogs over that future....

Eh, making brides cry isn't hard... they're mostly ready to burst into tears at any given moment anyway

Just kidding, that was pretty goddamn cool.

Props to the dude in the back with the taiaha!
