A random stranger can’t, say, put you in prison for doing something that is harmless but because of politics has become illegal, but the government can. In that way, random strangers buying your information is less catastrophic than the government doing the same thing.

bit unclear as to why you thought a convicted murderer would be a paragon of black solidarity, but whatever, i’m glad you found your angle

Keep beating that dead horse buddy. This argument has been laid to waste time and time again. Video games never been more profitable. Higher price tags will not translate into less corner cutting or better working conditions for devs, only more money for the publishers.

A penalty fee is NOT the same as purchasing an “all you can asshole” ticket

You pay full price for games, so why do you even care what I pay for games?  Is there some rule that I have to pay full price for games in order to comment on the price of games?  Can you show me where that rules exists?  Do you even know?  Get the fuck outta here.

Thankfully, the game’s auto-saving meant I never missed out on more more than 15-30 seconds of play. It was more a minor nuisance than…

So I was one of the like...six people on the planet who didn’t hype themselves to Mars prior to the release of this game

Yes, I would think that going from 60+mph to stationary while also sensing multiple impacts would generally qualify as a crash.

No matter how pretentious I may be, I do now share empathy with the ebook community as Amazon has revamped its return policy for digital literature.

None of us care about your gambling. You are the problem with Madden.

If you can get shot by police for simply holding a gun then what exactly is the point of the second amendment
