It's not the stance, it's how it was presented. Like so much in life, it's not what you say, it's how you say it.

What he wrote here was purely to give Luke a hard time, if he wanted to broach the subject of ads in articles, he could have done so far more articulately than a snide jab.

But he chose not to.

But if you…

What "problem" is that? That you were somehow forced to read the article? That somehow, men in black suits hired by kotaku showed up at your home and forced you to click on the article?

Or that the article, as the name states, has a review about a product on amazon? Does it not have a review? Is it not on amazon?

So…

In other news, commenters are still giving article writers a hard time for no other reason than because they're bored and have nothing better to do.

Slow day in the Kotaku commenting section.

Age really doesn't matter, sure it's a factor, but it isn't as much as a factor as people may think.

Proper habits, while it would be good, would have prevented a person from gaining the weight in the first place. People who put weight back on are likely doing so as a result of not developing proper eating habits and…

I've lost more than that in one day, but that doesn't mean it's something you're supposed to do. Losing that type of weight in a single day is pure water weight, and it's done by dehydrating your body. So it's possible, but there's maybe two kinds of people in the world who'd ever need to do it. Blood sport athletes;…

Well, all the websites are part of the gawker media outletand they do sponsor each other's posts. But no, Kotaku Core is an optional way to view kotaku that filters out the non-game related posts. E.G. Anime, Cosplay, government decisions, etc.

I'm not going to say that Der Spiegel are ALWAYS correct in their reporting, but they are certainly in the top three of unbiased and world recognized editorials.

Eeeeeeh, kinda, but not exactly. This type of thing has existed since the fifties. Most every president has spoken on how intelligence is provided. Essentially, you're given intelligence, and don't ask where it came from. By doing so, you have plausible deniability.

With the fact that it was likely the NSA who…

I was just teasing =)

That said, the fishing expedition is the issue here. They are supposedly using this method to catch terrorists, but are instead "stumbling" upon information that allows them to arrest U.S. citizens.

Now, I won't argue that you shouldn't be penalized for doing something illegal. But the methodology…

Wir haben spione unseres eigenen.

I see nothing wrong with the NSA or the TSA, I do on the other hand have an issue with how they're run and the lack of an active/unbias oversight committee.

You know, speaking as someone who's not an american as well, your ugly generalization just makes you look even worse, bigot.

If you're insinuating that these articles shouldn't appear, click on kotaku core in the top left corner of your screen.

I guess it depends on the kind of porn you look at, doesn't it?

You pervert.

The blanketed information collection has been deemed legal as well though. All depending on which judge you ask ;) It's interesting that it's been a split ruling so far, but the white house is fully endorsing the "not illegal" ruling.

That really sucks, I sincerely hope they have some form of office or site insurance. It wont get them their game dev back, but at least they wont be out their hardware costs.

Oh, I totally recognized where it was going to begin with. My responses to him are sticking to being purely factual. It's more for those who read the thread thinking he may be correct, than to actually try and sway him. He's already been informed of the fact regarding what he's speaking on, so it's no longer…

Well, what many people fail to be cognizant of is that those "good ole days" in the US history has always been run by progressives. Most people seem to be ignorant of the fact that the two political parties in the states changed their stances around the 1920-1930's. The "Republican" party up until that time were the…

I've never seen an ad on this site usingad blocker. Except for those click bait articles that are clearly sponsored ads.

It has it's ups and downs. Currently, the mechanics for it are simple, but suck. The more people that sign up, the less plans are.

The problem with that is, Republican politicians are attempting to sabotage the system by not allowing certain plans, or access to extended benefits within their states. Meaning that very…
