Of course, in a dating context, it's at least as important to know the answer to the Shadow Question: "What do you want?"

Star Control II did something very similar--as time went on, the world changed, and eventually one of the villains would start their omnicidal rampage.

But should stupid adults have no rights?

Bond's article was mostly referring to fans of fiction and movies, but as someone who has spent time on fora related to both sports fandom and anime fandom, I can safely say they're very similar. You see the same sort of memetics in both--sports message boards frequently fill up with people "quoting"(I don't think this is the best word) the chants made in the stadium itself, much like you'll often see anime-related boards fill up with people quoting famous lines from certain series. You see the same sort of provincialism in both--"If you're a fan of X, you're not allowed to be a fan of Y, and vice versa" is a common refrain in certain tvtropes pages about Fan Dumb, and that's also pretty much the definition of a sports rivalry. And there's also the internecine stuff, where you have endless debates over the worth of a player or the motivations of a character.

So yeah, I'd say fandom is universal.

You don't, you use a decision model that incorporates bias.

It already is a socially accepted factoid. People are afraid of AI for no good reason. (As for Wolfram Alpha, it's at about the same level as ALICE. I'm getting more and more convinced that Stephen Wolfram has lost it...)

Next time, you can use ^W ;)

To make it look more fair than it actually is.

I know that PUA is "pickup artist" but what is AFC?
