Normally I’m one to give the benefit of the doubt, but please do not presume that I am a fool. So you’re saying that any random speech that mentioned politics would’ve received a year ban of three people and a forfeiture of prize money? Ludicrous.

Yes... every capitalist nation is the same. Just like every communist nation is the same. Now where have I heard that foolish and reductive argument before...? I just can’t remember.

That’s not really true. There are plenty of capitalist economies out there, but their cultures don’t all worship money in the same way that the U.S. does. I think you’re conflating the two.

It’s true that a given corporation may never know about actions I take to reward or punish them for their behavior. But I’ll know. It’s the same reason I wouldn’t buy stolen merchandise, even though the crime has already been committed and my refusing to buy the merchandise will not hurt the seller. I may not

I think he’s saying the screw-up was in seeking a murder charge to begin with.

Frankly I’m surprised the prosecutor sought a murder conviction. There doesn’t seem to be anywhere near enough evidence to support a conviction of murder, even in the second degree. I agree that this tragedy is sickening, but the law is supposed to be applied without bias. The fact that I’m mad as hell that this

Mistakenly entering someone else’s apartment inside your building doesn’t rise to the level of illegal entry. Also, the statutes you cite require intent on the part of the perpetrator.

“The last time I know, flushing is allowed in this country.”

Ah yes, the Nobel Peace Prize for Not Being George W. Bush.

You know, I remember watching this when it came out, and I remember not liking it. A lot of that was because I didn’t really like Vic at the time, and I was ‘whatever’ about Nog. But after it came to syndication via Netflix, I remember the first time I watched it again, after what must have been about fifteen years,

This sounds like an argument that applies to overall pricing, not sale pricing. Even physical stores have the concept of a ‘loss leader’, which is really just something sold very cheaply in order to gain some other benefit.

And that’s... bad?

That has not been my experience.

That’s not what happens. The sales are limited time, and you don’t exhaust all the people who might want to play the game at some point with one sale. It’s not like everyone in the world will hear about it and buy it, so you have no more potential customers. What does happen is that you get tons of sales, mostly from

This is far more similar to when steam first started experimenting with sales years ago, which as I recall started with Left 4 Dead. It sold way more copies and made more money during a sale at around the 6 month mark than it had in all the time since launch combined. Prior to this, sales for video games were reserved

One obvious possibility is that the standard of evidence is significantly lower in a civil trial. As you’re probably aware, the standard of evidence is a criminal case is “proof beyond a reasonable doubt.” This means that if you can think of an innocent explanation for the evidence presented, even if it’s relatively

I think the key here is the word “just”. If she’s “just” another woman out for cash, that implies that no actual crime occurred. I.e., there was no rape, she’s making up the accusation to get paid.

Oh wow, you really showed her. That’s a great point you made there. Truly, it’s word counting and not actual context that determines such things.

Sure, he may say that, but can we really know what’s in his heart?

I’m not going to lie. No way would I try to protest in this fashion if it might cost me $50,000. Not for this cause, anyway. So, good on him, that takes some grit.
