Ya so they threw soup on a protective pain of glass in front of Van Gogh's Sunflowers, the painting is fine. The article confirms this but tries to downplay it for some reason.

That's interesting, I wonder why they differentiate some like MDs and EDs but not others.

You can get a philosophy doctorate in science? Honestly no, I didn't realize that at all

A PhD wouldn't know anything about science, so its pretty accurate really :/

Edit: It's the internet so naturally im being downvoted for learning but after looking it up, I was wrong. The PhD does stand for philosophy doctorate, but no longer refers specifically to the feild of philosophy as it once did. Apologies to anyone offended.

Never met a student who was actually smarter than their teachers. I sure have met a lot who thought they were though.

Something that really bothered me about the original Reddit PCM before i left was that people on the LibRight side were always construed as these apathetic capitalists who accept everyone and get the last laugh by selling to both sides. But i never found that to be even close to the reality. Any genuine libertarian i ever met was poor, in debt, and usually had deeply rooted biases about sex and race. A far cry from "how do i monotze this".

Skyrim added some cool lore. Not as much as morrowind sure but the Thalmor, the dragon priests, and the vampire stuff was all awesome in my opinion.

While Jesus himself is overwhelmingly sympathetic to women, the bible's later chapters (specifically those written by Paul) are pretty clear on how women ought to be treated. So while you could technically interpret it as exalting women, any religious leader turning to the bible with a specific question of how to behave will be more likely to find those later chapters with direct answers more appealing.

Seems like the general rule of thumb in DS games is that the NPCs are better off if you never interact with them.

The hubris of evil corporations. Like, the game was already fading into obscurity. They could have just left it alone but instead they're going to give it tons more publicity and give more people reason to buy it.
