Debate / Paid Parental Leave

« on: June 22, 2017, 03:41:07 PM »

Trump's current budget proposal includes establishing a paid leave program (up to 6 weeks) for new parents. It would be run through the unemployment benefit system (details are still scarce).

Assuming the GOP supports this, the Dems should have no opposition. That would mark a major improvement for US workers in general in my opinion. Anyone disagree and think the free market should decide which workers get time off as new parents (including adoptions)?

ICT / Herochat vs Earth

« on: June 22, 2017, 01:55:17 PM »

Every Herochat member is given DBZ universe chi powers based on their current post count today. That's your base level. You'd have to train/fight to increase it later.

What impact do we have on real world Earth? Do alliances form? Do some become killers? Heroes? Celebs? Godlings?

Thankfully the hackers nuked Riv's post count, or else he'd be dropping spirit bombs on half your homes in the first hour.

The ever-awesome directors Lord and Miller have been booted in the middle of filming. Holy shit. Were they getting too far afield in their vision, or does Disney want something more nostalgia-y? Yikes.

Guy who won the player tournament loses to one of the game producers. Looked like it was staged a bit for the player to lose by keeping him away from his favorite character without explanation.

But the game shows promise (not just a button masher).

ICT / Power Stone Ronan vs Ego

« on: June 14, 2017, 09:08:35 PM »

So Ronan at the end of Guardians 1 succeeds, killing Peter and the whole Nova Corps homeworld. Ego finds out and goes after him, bringing his entire planet. The idea being that he can keep regenerating bodies as needed for the fight.

Ronan sees the big planet and decides he will blow it up.

Who wins?

Even if Ares can't be killed, can Doomsday BFR, KO, or incapacitate Ares for a majority?
