The difference is that crypto has been crashing for over a year. If you bought a Bitcoin at its top value in 2017, it has lost 1/3rd of its value since then. As the article mentioned, at the start of the year measured cryptocurrencies were at over $800 billion in total value, now down to $200 billion, that’s huge. Put…

Really? Because, at least for stable governments, they seem pretty stable compared to Bitcoin. You can see Bitcoin’s price history here (hit all):

I mean, at least some racists can be reasoned out of racism:

I’m going to disagree here. There are numerous groups in the US that do change the minds of hardcore racists.

Except corporations have an outsized influence on what you have available to you as a consumer. If I don’t want a grindy, microtransactions laden experience and instead want a more focused, fascinating story with high production values...can I find it in the so-called “AAA” space? The answer is no, not anymore; at…

They give you a fair “amount” but do they give you a fair quality? Can you honestly say that every bit of content is really worth spending your time on?  Because based on my experiences with the last game, I’d emphatically say “no”.  Games are more than just “hours spent playing”, they’re about whether or not those…

Exactly. I think a lot of people who don’t see the microtransactions problem are confusing quantity with quality. I tried out the previous Assassin’s Creed game, Origins, after a long time away (last one I played was AC 3) hopeing for a truly interesting reboot. Unfortunately, I found it pretty boring; quite frankly I…

There was a time in this country where corporations didn’t just chase short term profits, but aimed for long-term growth.  Decades of “trickle down” economics has destroyed that, now it’s short term growth, now measured in trades made in a fraction of a second by super computers, that determines a company’s worth.

Erm sorry what?

If you can’t make money in your industry by making a product and selling it, then you shouldn’t be in the industry.  Let’s assume that AC: Odyssey was half the size but with a more focused story and no microtransactions, would that many people really complain about it?  Would it really hurt sales?  I’m skeptical that…

Good thing you can poop in those suits.  But seriously, the immediate thought has to be more sabotage, right?

Well, it sounds like things weren’t on the up and up.  Apparently, the app doesn’t (or didn’t) promise that the therapist you spoke to has an actual license to practice psychology.  The app also has a deceptive pricing structure.

Depends on the person. Some channels are by an actual professional, chubbyemu is an actual doctor who talks about medical stuff or Leonard French of LawfulMasses is an actual lawyer talking about legal issues. Others, you might note, have become experts by sheer experience, such as Jim Sterling. That said, if you’re…

As far as the actual actresses, I haven’t seen Anya Chalotra in anything, but Freya Allan did pretty well in her Into the Badlands cameo as the flashback younger version of The Widow, she can definitely do the whole “young but defiant” thing.

She is a young adult, she’s 17.

That makes sense since Ciri is 13 when she starts to be a major factor in the books and Yennefer makes herself look 20.

Yennefer supposedly makes herself look about 20 years old in the books, though she’s actually in her 90's because magic.  Triss is also much younger (and basically a non factor) in the books.  

He’s got a ton of videos on this very subject, but this one is most “to the point”.

Violence, or at least violence outside of the confines of the competition (cause some sports are violent) are super not okay.  Getting pissed about a call or something else is understandable, I’m not okay when folks get violent with people.  This is kind of borderline to me.

Consider that most of Swift’s fans are under the age of 30, many are still in high school or college; how politically active were you in high school and college? I didn’t vote until age 22 myself, at age 18 I was in college for the election of Bush’s second term, just getting into the swing of college, I didn’t have…
