There’s a strip club diner chain in Florida. I mean, it’s like a Denny’s but with strippers; totally blew my mind when I visited for work. Like...if I’m getting breakfast or lunch at a questionable roadside diner, the last thing I want to worry about is a loose pubic hair from a stripper getting into my food...why…

Yep.  It’s great if I only have a few items, I can quickly ring them up and get out.  For my big weekly grocery shopping I use the manned checkouts though.

It’s pretty simple: Steam is a privately owned store and they can choose what they do and don’t want to sell in their store. Wal-Mart doesn’t sell porno magazines and nobody is arguing they should be forced to do so, so why should Steam be forced to sell a game they don’t want to sell?

Yep, like I said there’s plenty of free encryption software out there. Regardless of your motives, at best this means the US government has an easier time of looking at the encrypted data of people who are either not up to anything illegal or are too dumb to get away with their crime anyway. Organized criminals are…

One key thing to note: There’s very little to prevent terrorists (or anyone else) from setting up their own encryption software if Silicon Valley companies give the US government a back door, making this a very dumb fight on the part of law enforcement. Encryption hashing is literally just a matter of making an…

I’m betting there’s some sort of revelation on the way and he’s trying to get ahead of it by resigning now.

As someone that really dislikes rogue-like games, I know the feeling.  Every so often a rogue-like comes along that is so compelling, so tickles my particular niches that I decide to try it despite the rogue-like label; almost every time I quit out of boredom.  It’s not that that I can’t do it, it’s not that I need to…

I’m also not so sure it’s true. Yes, a lot of the Marvel movies have that theme (Captain America’s stuff in particular) but...I feel like non of the Iron Man movies have that vibe nor do any of the Thor movies (except in the very broadest “oops I fucked up” sort of way). It’s a big theme for maybe four characters…

I feel like most video games let you do this though, in some way. Most games involve you, our plucky protagonist, taking on literal armies of enemies in your mission to defeat the big bad, usually taking out numerous other subordinate “bosses” in the process; it might not explicitly be called an empire, but there’s…

Your post in China could get you a bad social credit score, maybe even get you banned from taking a train or a plane. To be clear, this system is a system of thought and speech control; if you speak out against the Chinese government in any way.  Think you got a parking ticket in error and you complain on social…

Airlines and trains are generally owned by China in China, so while this does mean a certain loss in revenue the government almost certainly considers it to be “worth it” to maintain their grip on Chinese society.

If by “stop being shitty” you mean “criticizing the Chinese government or its ruling members” then you’re right.  Make no mistake, while there might be some aspects that are based on social good, almost certainly the vast majority of the people marked as “bad” by this system are pointing out real social,…

What could they possibly be referencing?  *nudges the corpses of Fallout 76 and Anthem out of sight*

They’re just trying to protect their identities so they aren’t associated with this thorough sigh and a shrug with a “what you gonna do” of a game. Seriously, being god damn space Iron Man shouldn’t be this dull.

Oh yeah, I get it. It’s weird working in a hospital when you aren’t a medical professional though and can be quite shocking. Other people are going through the worst days in their life or just watched someone literally die in front of their eyes and you need to wander in and ask them where the blood soaked computer…

Once you’ve heard nurses who work in the NICU (newborn ICU) telling dead baby jokes, you don’t get surprised by much anymore with medical professionals.

How did you find that picture of me from last week?

And this is why I took the bus into Seattle on my last project. The moment the light rail is in my area I may never drive to Seattle again.

Their experiment is a bit outdated due to old/incorrect information on the early atmosphere, most scientists agree now that the environment had more volcanic gasses and that it may not have had as much lightning as Miller-Urey simulated.  Additionally, more recent research seems to indicate that life may have started…

Nothing screams “this is gonna kill this franchise” more than this trailer.  Just give it back to Marvel already, Fox.
