I think you’re bringing some of your own baggage to the table here. No one is pretending they are stupid... no one is even bending the rules. Swimsuits are literally posted as allowed in their rules.

I think you’re focusing a little too much on the hot tub streamers, ironically.

This situation has proved that Twitch can and will change the rules whenever they see fit, without warning, notice, or negotiation. Today it’s hot tubs, tomorrow it’s whatever the advertisers rail against next. This all played out on Youtube the same way — started with the more risque content and then you had people…

See, I find this take disingenous. Is acting sex work if they have a hot tub scene?

But see, here is where I argue you’re falling into their moral panic trap.

If Twitch wants to ban people in lace bras in kiddie pools, that’s fine. They should do that. But they didn’t say that, they just acted judiciously in this case, with no warning or policy to back them up. In a few days they’ll issue a statement…

I’m not going to pretend to be an expert on Twitch, but right now it still seems like a place where independent creators could turn up, and if they have a neat idea, take, or gimmick, they could make a living. In a way similar to how Youtube was ten years ago.

The barrier of entry has certainly gotten higher, but it’s…

Regardless of ones thoughts on twitch and its ‘thots’, this is a chilling move that is another step into turning twitch into a soulless, rotting abomination that is a shadow of its former self like Youtube today.

One caveat to your $30 a day. If I’m in a city for a convention or something, and I couldn’t/didn’t get a hotel within walking distance... I’ll probably still opt for the Uber due to parking and convenience. No having to remember where I parked, no having to deal with finding a spot, no worrying about it getting…

It was his default thing to say when he didn’t want to talk to you in ME1 or ME2, or both maybe... and it kind of went from there.  ME3 definitely intentionally self referenced it.

This just in: Remake of old game references its old memes.

There’s at least three Green Lanterns missing off your earth bound list:

Simon Baz, the muslim Green Lantern who... sigh... wears a ski mask and carries a gun.

Jessica Cruz, the first lady Green Lantern who conquers her agoraphobia, I believe, to wear the ring.

And... uh... Teen Lantern, whose name I simply do not know. …

I mean, there’s bluffing involved as you try to read your opponents playstyle to get a feel for what colors they have. I would say it’s 90% guesswork, but I have seen people juke each other out for the win by acting like they were out of a color and baiting someone to switching to it when they called Uno and then won.

I…

Nathan, that mod is explicitly on the rails.  Man, the fake gaming news strikes again.  (/s)

I think it’s that Pokeman Cafe mobile game, he’s manning the counter.

Geeze, Luke, give us all a heart attack why don’t you.

Haha oh man! Look at that! A member of the executive branch leading an armed insurrection against our own government! What a completely farcical, amusing idea.

...

*sob*

It was literally mentioned *in* the article.  

Whoa whoa whoa. Let’s be careful throwing around the ‘worst DLC’ tag when Omega exists, eh?

(You’re probably right, though)

Thanks for the perspective! I kinda sort figured this was going to fall into the ‘possibly unethical but probably not illegal camp’, but I won’t pretend to have any expertise in this arena.

And it’s good to know that it might not be as cut and dry as ‘they don’t want to’.  That’s the take I figured I was missing in…
