Yup. As a fellow old, I liken my response to stories like this to the South Park episode wherein the boys try to figure out why the toddlers are obsessed with PewDiePie (and Cartman, of course, becomes, “CartMAN braaaaaah!”)

I don’t get it. But I also don’t have to. Our generation had grunge, and flannels for everyday…

I don’t think it’s particularly self-righteous to believe that deliberately shit-posting hate speech, hateful memes, or much of anything else that’s designed to shit on another human being “FOR THE LOLS” isn’t a good thing.

But, hey, keep looking for moral equivocation between people who think “muh freeze peach” is a…

this is EXACTLY what i was thinking while reading this article.

This is the most self-serving nonsense I’ve ever heard. Stealing porn is one thing but trying to justify it by acting as if you’re doing *them* a service is a crock of shit. Some of these people depend on this income to feed and house themselves.

Oh seriously, shut the fuck up. I usually try to be more cogent and measured, but did you actually just say...

Cherry picking the one statistic of that survey is a little disingenuous, when right above it you can see the breakdown of the actual responses, and the breakdown of responses disproves the statistic you’ve chosen.

First, there are 14 (of 53 total respondents) - 26% of the sample that report that they’re retired or on…

Committing major parts of your life to sitting down and staring at a screen is not a healthy life choice.

People do it everyday sitting in cubicles working 9-5.

Ohhh maaannn...

The SWAT officer who pulled the trigger is to blame. The person who called the fake incident into the police is to blame. The person who passed along the victim’s address is to blame.

I think the reason it felt so believable to WoW players is because HOLY SHIT were there some stupid people playing that game. We’ve all experienced the joy of a Leeroy in our group at least once.

Not even Sony though, it’s Sony MUSIC, which is wild.

Flawlessly?

First of all, this comment exists in every single mention of classic games. We all know about Raspberry Pi. Stop.

It’s actually a term that’s been used for a long time for actual engineering application.
