The flat earth has absolutely nothing to do with the canonical bible.

Anyone who claims otherwise has been misinformed or misled. Or is attempting to misinform, or mislead others.

As a voice actor myself, I believe it should all be left in the hands of the creators and/or casting directors of whatever TV show/movie/game/whatever is being created.

Do you, as the creator, believe that a black man would best fit your main character, who also happens to be a black man? Ok. Then seek out, and cast the best, most talented black voice actor you can find, and pay him an honest wage.

But if we have a "Samurai Jack" situation, where we have no need to be entirely accurate between the actor, their voice, and the character...then all that we need to focus on is the sound, and the talent, right? Right. The correct choice in this scenerio is to cast whomever delivers the performance that best fits the "vision" of the project being created. Whether that's a white man playing a white man, a white man playing a black man, an elderly asian woman playing a buff monkey man with golden hair, a black man playing a time-traveling Japanese samurai warrior who wields a magic sword, and etc. and etc.

Voice acting is a wonderful, magical medium where characters can be brought to life in ways that are not possible in other formats, such as live action. Why would anyone try to limit or police such gifts? Art? Freedom of creativity? When has that ever lead to an improvement for society as a whole?

I understand the concern. The injustices. PoC, and other minorities can and have been discriminated against in the past. Whether it was in Hollwwood, or other places. More job opportunities should be created on their behalf, in order to combat future cases of discrimination.

But incidents like what happened with Jubilee, or Laura Bailey and Uncharted 4 just don't make any sense to me. There's plenty of room for "all of the above." Wheb your project puts politics first over creativity, I believe you've gotten things a little mixed up. Relax, people! And let the medium breath. Voice acting is incredible! Filled with incredible people. Now let people do what they were born to do, in every way possible.

I really like the fries from Culver's, but they're a relatively small chain (878 locations in 26 states).

This. Blows the rest out of the water.

But out of the original list, I voted McDonalds. Hot and salty, they really can't be beat. (Except by Culver's, B-Dub's wedges, or maybe Red Robin.)

Arby's curly fries are really their own thing. So honestly, it's comparing apples to oranges. Just because I want "fries" does not mean I want "curly fries." Those are two totally different flavor profiles.

To be an atheist practically requires arrogance.

Imagine an amoeba saying, with 100% confidence, "Yep, there's no such thing as a blue whale!"

How would it know that? How COULD it know that? How would it ever approach the concept?

Now take the concept, apply it to humans, God, and the near-imfinite expanse of the universe.

My point.

I try every regular Mountain Dew flavor at least once.

But I won't try that.

Even if what this Twitter post was saying was true (and it isn't, it's a common misconception), the Bible has multiple, clear listings of homosexuality as a sin, in both the old testament, and the new testament.

I've read the book cover-to-cover about 4 times now, since the mid 2000s. Just to add a bit of background to myself.

Having said that, people put far too much emphasis on homosexuality compared to other sins, IMO. They could focus on a host of other things to an equal degree, but they don't.

My point: Take the information, or don't. But I dont think its helpful to anyone to spread misinformation, in order to mischaractize an entire group of people worldwide.

A robot/android/AI does not, cannot and will not ever possess a soul. It is impossible. They are not, biologically speaking, alive. They are tools created by human beings. They are nothing more than a collection of mechancial parts, electronic batteries, and computational achievements.

This is why things like Westworld, or that one mission from Fallout 3 hold no empathetic weight for me. I'm just like, "...Go ahead, fry the fraking toasters!" You couldn't get me to care less, if you tried.

The 3rd option was a quick and easy choice for me.

Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer

Addictive as hell! So many viable player builds. But all you really needed was Krogan and Batarian Melee. FALCON PUNCH GETH PRIMES

Dang, I wish the rer-eleases had brought back the multiplayer! I'd get addicted all over again, with a fresh player base!
