It probably is.  But blackmail is really difficult to prove if the person being blackmailed wants to keep things just as hush-hush as the other side of the equation.

My friend Daniel killed himself. He had just gotten remarried a year ago, he had just gotten custody of his kids, he had gotten a promotion at work and from the outside everything seemed to be going great. We found out later that his second marriage was falling apart, and he couldn’t deal with going through divorce…

He admitted in court that he lies.

Personally I think this is more correct:

Do we even know that ramming the ram would have done anything to it? I mean, if it needed to happen “because plot” then it would have of course, this is a movie, but it’s not clear that Finn would have even put a dent in it, especially given that it was already in the process of firing. The ski speeders were getting…

Because the attack was pointless.  They were getting blown apart for no reason at all, clearly the plan wasn’t going to work and they needed to regroup.

The lesson is not “not to attack”, it’s to value the lives of those you command into battle and to trust your commanding officers; “It all worked out in the end” isn’t an acceptable reason to lead people to their deaths. Leia and Holdo are thinking long-term, “How do we rebuild this organization now that we just got…

Sorry, internal organ.

Actually, it fucking is. http://fightland.vice.com/blog/fight-doctor—-the-liver-kick

The funny/terrible thing is that there’s not much you can do to defend against this. The nerve endings around the liver are “autonomous” meaning you have no conscious control of them, you get hit in the liver, or any major organ, you’re going down.

I think it was generally a lot of inexperience all around, and not knowing too much of what needed to be done, or what had to be done and how it needed to be done.” - MidBoss creative director John James suggests the root of the problem at the 2064: Read Only Memories studio earlier this year, when founder Matt Conn…

I mean, that would explain a lot, wouldn’t it? Why just months after saying women wouldn’t fight in the UFC any time soon Dana White suddenly had a change of heart, why the UFC promoted Ronda so heavily and maybe why Rousey left despite having plenty of runway to continue her MMA career (perhaps the relationship soured…

Papa John is Dana White in a wig.

I’d be very curious to know who used the word, because there are a lot of black people on the Timbers. Not sure I’d want to face down an angry Fanendo Adi...

Hahahaha, I’m sorry what?  Have you missed the news for the past month?  They just had a school shooter game controversy, there are a ton of pro-Nazi games; the only thing they seem to do a good job of is keeping out uncensored porn.

Valve’s current policy isn’t a result of logistical constraints. They already review every game that’s put on Steam. The problem is that their review standards are extremely lax. Unless a game is flagrantly racist or illegal, it gets a pass.

How do you have verified sources that can say a game is good? Players themselves can be bribed with free copies (or just small amounts of money). Reviewers can be bought off in similar ways. Descriptions, screenshots, videos can all be fairly quickly made that in no way show the actual game; there are dozens of shitty…

How was Deroir’s comment a confrontation? This is his original reply to her thread:

“Better ingredients. Better pizza. Papa John’s pizza for n*****s”

As I said in a post above, given the number of submissions there’s no way Valve can do any sort of QA without losing money on each game.  I suggest a  larger fee, say $2,000 or more, that goes towards a team to do some very basic QA.
