Apple built the mall. They provide the electricity, security guards, food court, merry-go-round, and all the other things that people come to see for all the business that want to use their services to make money. All they ask for is a cut of what you make and Epic knew how much that cut was when they moved in.  And…

Man - I can’t disagree stronger here. There’s negative things I can say about every 343 Halo, but I had a ton of fun playing them and I’ve had a ton of fun replaying them, and I would absolutely rather have them than not have them. I don’t want the lack of a perfect Halo to mean a complete absence of Halo.

Not only that, but there are instances in this game where Byleth’s gender identity actually COULD have made a difference with differentiated writing.

While I do appreciate the point being made here, I think you might have a few things mixed up. Specifically, that Robin of Awakenings was an “everyman” player avatar while Byleth of Three Houses has a defined character, when it’s really the other way around. Robin, for example, has pre-defined dialogue and hobbies…

Well, whaddya know. Unions aren’t a magic cure-all for your problems and they’re just as susceptible to corruption as the institutions they target. Whoda thunk?

Looks like those little dust bunnies (Spriggan) in FF14 with an unhealthy obsession with rocks and other minerals.

“Oh, hey, that’s really impressive! I didn’t even know that the Game Boy had that technol—”

“Lure people into public places” my dude you sound insane. 

It’s alarming how many people are desparate condemn, not just with careful “this could cause concerns”, but with absolute “this cannot help, this is terrible, an idiot knows that this is always bad” and so forth. That’s not a response that comes from knowledge or understanding, let alone empathy. Psychology absolutely…

The thing is, it won’t help the family.

Also some subs that have been around so long but whose schedule is so unreliable they have high follower count but low sub count. I am aware of the variety. We could go back and forth on the possibilities and because most steamers guard their subscriber count and earnings (don’t blame them), there is no effective…

Making a large, complex piece of software from scratch is VASTLY, VASTLY more complicated than making a movie or TV show. Even the biggest, most complex movies are child's play compared to the enormity of the challenge of releasing an average video game.

I feel it’s important to note one thing: the average person does not pay $7.69/mo in bank fees. The average person pays nothing in bank fees because, according to this same survey, 73 percent of people don’t pay any bank fees.

Absolutely positively no one in the entire world knows what the stock market will do in 2020, or in any other year. Every single prediction is nothing more than a wild guess, and people who have spent their entire lives studying this sort of thing don’t make predictions any better than throwing a dart at a board.

A big reason you don’t have standardized credits for a game is that team make up is not standardized. One studio might say go so granular so they list out Vehicle Engineer, Sound Engineer, Weather Engineer, etc while another studio just lists Engineer because that’s just how the teams and titles are. At the studio…

Eh. Unions CAN be a good thing.   A properly run union that legitimately watches out for its employees long term interests, yes.  But they’re just as vulnerable to being corrupted as a corporate system and the blanket statement that they're universally good leaves a lot to be desired.

We all applaud your heroic boycotts

It was a bunch of FUD concerning azodicarbonamide, which is used in the food industry as a dough conditioner and flour bleaching agent, and in the plastics industry as a blowing agent to make foamed plastics like the ones used in yoga mats.

Yeah, I read about that. The facts, as reported, are that they received some statistical data. None of it was directly tied to particular owners or even specific requested address ranges. Ring now doesn’t do this, but, even if they did, nothing that article reports on directly identifies a single individual. This is,…

Man, this website has a serious hard-on anti-ring, has for almost a year now. Pretty absurd honestly. I love mine and really don’t give a damn about any of this, nor do the vast majority of owners.
