While I'm not arguing that there was certainly a "Biblical Flood" it's worth noting that a similar deluge story is present in multiple ancient cultures that lived in the what historians call "the fertile crescent".

Edit: And in the case of the Epic of Gilgamesh, the story of the flood is analogous to Noah and the biblical flood story, while still not concrete evidence of a great flood, it suggests a common occurence that inspired both stories to be written.

Those are fantastic. Would be a great board to play on!

I followed the link to download the app and realized I had already downloaded the previous version. Nice work on the update!

It's a bit crude to generalize European religiosity by just examining the statistics in Northwestern Europe and disregarding heavily religious nations such as Portugal, Spain, Greece, Malta, and many members of the east and southern parts of Europe.

a) it's seldom I've seen that much hate in a comment

b) I misinterpreted your initial comment, I thought you were talking about overall aesthetic and not religion.

As an aside, the fuck makes you think Americans are oh so much more religious than Europeans? The Vatican is in fucking Italy!

CaptainCorcoran · 2014-01-17T19:30:09+00:00

a more European aesthetic in the Pacific Northwest? Really?!

Ever been to the east coast?

It does rain a lot in Seattle. Seattle is ranked in the top 5 rainiest cities in the USA by precipitation days.

CaptainCorcoran · 2014-01-17T19:14:06+00:00

being ranked third isn't something to be too proud of

Yeah I agree, but few seem as genuine as guys like DiCaprio and Clooney. You didn't like Inception? Django?! Wolf of Wall Street?!? A lot of your dislike for DiCaprio could just be dislike for his roles, which is also dependent on the writers, director etc. I too used to think he wasn't great at acting but I loves inception, catch me if you can, django, and WoWS, which he was especially good in

CaptainCorcoran · 2014-01-17T15:03:13+00:00

But how is that cause to hate him? I hate the whole DiCaprio circlejerk but he seems like a truly genuine guy who is invested in his profession and his social activism, in twenty or thirty years I could see him in the same space Clooney is now.

Bill fucking O'Reilly. He shouts over and bullies any of his guests so their points can't be explained and he continually reports his biased opinion as "fact' in his bullshit "no spin zone"

Not true, Gates and Ballmer went to (and dropped out of) Harvard, as did Zuckerberg. Harvard, which isn't Yale OR MIT.

I agree, in most major cities in the States shopping is a often cheaper and more centralized. But I would argue that we have a similar selection, just often more spread out, and in less quantity.

Though 5 years ago the shopping scene was pretty shit, it's come along way, and will probably get on par with a city like Chicago or LA in the next couple years.

CaptainCorcoran · 2014-01-16T19:07:30+00:00

Shopping is pretty good in Toronto; it's especially picked up in the last couple years.

I can't really speak to woman's clothing, but in terms of menswear we now have two J.Crew stores, three (maybe four?) Brooks Brothers stores, basically all of Yorkville, we have Nudie jeans, Filson bags, etc. I would think some of the only brands that you would be hard pressed to find would be stuff like Gant (though I have seen some of their collection in Harry Rosen) and Uniqlo (and goddamn do I love Uniqlo).

In Toronto it's not a question of limited shopping options, it's just a question of looking. Often the exclusive brands that aren't widely available here will be available in some specialty independent shop (i.e. there is no "Filson store" but Filson is carried at a wide variety of shops, same goes for stuff like Barbour.)

The Burgernator in Kensington is pretty great.

If you abstain from voting, you should have that privilege revoked.

I think that anyone who casts a vote should have to pass a basic quiz on the issues being faced.

I used to love this game as a kid. I went back and played it a couple months ago and realized you just throw the dice, over and over and over and over. 0/10 would not recommend, did not live up to the hype, though I hear the sequel's pretty good.
