I think we, as parents, need to stop asking our kids questions that we know the answer to and that we know they are going to lie about. What does asking lil Timmy if he ate his broccoli accomplish, when we saw him jamming the florets into the napkin and bunching it up? Why is this the go to of every parent that I…

I’m not torn at all. The art of film-making is all the richer for someone with the perspective who is influential enough who can call out western bullshit and be inspired by things in our general blind spots.

It might not be the greatest fit for those particular circumstances. While it can be good for pick up and play, in that there’s no power progression that you have to catch up on, the bigger issue is that communication and teamwork are basically mandatory if you are playing with a crew. And you CAN play without a crew,…

Somewhat morbid video placement....

Can we focus on the important bit from this please: someone had a pet mouse put down?

I get the faintest feeling that their road map to success for this was firmly rooted in Fortnite-esque games. SUPER massive appeal, F2P, competitive yet loose enough to downplay latency issues.

Well, the difference here is that with the XBO you had to buy a $500 box and have it sit in your home and do all that stuff when it shouldn’t need to.  This seems to be a very low entry point, no hardware, optional accessories and it’s streaming so going into it it’s always going to be connected to the internet.

Yes, the implication is that it’s hardware independent*.

It’s kind of funny how pessimistic everyone here seems to be. I’m guessing none of them actually tried out Project Stream? Because that experience changed my mind in the same way trying VR for myself did - except this is more accessible and practical than any VR application yet. Running a brand new AAA game at…

I give it two years of being basically underused and forgotten before they shut it down unceremoniously, as is the Google way.

Shit, he’s gonna use all this money and goodwill to develop weather control satellites and become the West Coast Hank Scorpio, isn’t he? It’s always the quiet, nondescript ones you need to worry about.

I have no idea, but a cartoon dragon crushing two kids with his dong immediately became my favourite gif

Even if you have employer provided coverage, patient choice simply means “choose any doctor from this list we provide of in-network doctors, or you can keep your old doctor but it will cost you twice (or three times) as much to visit them.” That’s not choice, but if all of the doctors in the country are “in-network”…

I went to high school with no fewer than four Mikes Trout.

The best all-around player I’ve ever seen is Ken Griffey Jr. Without roids, no one would put Bonds ahead of him.

I seriously wonder if Trout’s low public profile is mostly the result of his having a face so generic and unmemorable that the CIA has approached him for clandestine work.

artie moreno : *pulls flesh wallet out of fupa, removes $400 million* congrats mike

Remember when Megan Fox was criticized for having toe thumbs? This seems to be the next idiotic iteration.

I was going to say, there’s nothing more punk than being as establishment as you can.

They have to lay the groundwork for those “Why Bernie Didn’t Win” and “Why Voting Doesn’t Matter” articles to come in the next year or so. I’m not really a Beto fan either, but their persistent slam articles on him are humorous to say the very least about them.

I imagine this week they’ll talk about how his outfits…
