That’s what I’ve always wondered, too. If automation puts everyone out of a job, who the hell is going to buy all the junk the now-automated companies are producing? 

When Hideo Kojima asks if you want to be in the game, you say YES.

That’s how I felt about Warmind. Rasputin was built up to be such an awesome, mysterious, kinda sinister thing. Then we got like three sentences out of him and he immediately dropped out of having anything to do with anything.

I thought the Vex were easily the MOST interesting antagonists, until the Curse of Osiris expansion happened. The Infinite Forest had so much potential to be awesome and crazy, but it just turned out kinda boring and mundane. And it made the Vex seem like hapless chumps, that it was so easy to just take the Infinite…

Way more white men are drunk, stoned and coked-up, yet somehow they never wind up gunned down with cellphones in their hands.  

The irony is deep on this one. Conspiracy theorists running false flag operations. Right-wingers trying to ape Swift’s Modest Proposal, which was satirical criticism of shitty treatment of the poor and racist attitudes towards foreigners. All lost on the geniuses at the LaRouche organization, i’m sure.

I’d say this stunt was counter-productive. The troll comes off as an unhinged weirdo, the group she comes from sounds like a bunch of delusional douchebags, and AOC comes away looking calm, patient and serious in the face of more right-wing clowning. Anyone who actually cares about reality will learn the real story…

This is why right wingers are always suspicious that everything is some kind of scheme. Because that’s how they themselves think and operate.

I’m no expert, but wouldn’t security features designed to obscure and reduce sightlines also make it harder to spot a shooter, and for the shooter to move around undetected? 

I mean, if we’re talking about treating digital goods the same as physical, each person who buys the game should get one download, ever. Better take care of that data, because if you lose it or break it, you have to buy a new one.

Why would devs get a cut? Could Steam even legally mandate that, or would that run afoul of French law too? Since you can’t legally be forced to give Samsung a cut of your used TV sale, or Ford a cut of your used truck sale.

Haha, yeah that and unchecked police brutality, which the right also loves. 

God, there’s nothing like republicans whining about unity and solidarity, as they ram through policies that are explicitly bad for a majority of the population, enable incredible levels of grift and corruption, dismantle the checks and balances that makes democracy possible, actively and knowingly spin lies and stoke…

When Canada sends its pigs, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending pigs that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with them. They’re invasive, they’re feral, and some, I assume, are good pigs.

though maybe if I drank the whole bottle he’d be more tolerable.

I feel the same. Seems like the best way to commemorate 9/11 would be to carry on with all of life’s little joys and pleasures. Certainly, the terrorists who did it would be thrilled to know they created a day where everyone feels a social pressure to be sad and serious, and things like birthdays seem “inappropriate”.

If the father doesn’t want his daughter using his credit card, that’s between him and her. He gets the statements, he can refute the charges and pursue federal charges (eyeroll) against his own daughter if he wants to. It has nothing to do with you, or the nosy asshole who decided to insert herself into some strange…

I broke my addiction to it a few months ago, and the relief was intense.

I know you can take just about any story about crime and flip the races around and show how ridiculously easy white people get off. But this story in particular really lends itself to it.

Would leaving it out add something to the story?
