Journalist A gets paid by corp B to write piece and uses ads/subscriptions to both pay journalist A, other staff etc....Corp C should not be able to sell Journalist A’s work to make money. I am not sure why you think journalist A is even involved. The issue is between Corp B and C.

I don’t disagree it would have helped...but I think you’re overestimating the percentage of the movie going public who know/care and are invested in the Dark Phoenix saga...I think the larger issue is that this franchise has been an also ran for a number of years and was running on fumes...I can’t think of a single…

I have no idea why anyone goes to E3 anyway tbh...seems like a lot of money to spend to get a bunch of announcements everyone else can stream for free...at least with something like comic-con there are panels and shops and autographs and such...E3, to me, is something that is irrelevant in the streaming age...if you…

Maybe...but maybe they get ahead of the news cycle and rise above the din for a few days before the show...seems to me being a big leak on June 7 is maybe better for news coverage than being one of a million announcements on June 10th.

Let’s be honest, what difference does it make? Does it result in lost sales? The reality is that the game industrial complex is going to obsessively cover all this crap anyway for the legions who love that stuff and 95% of gamers are going to forget about all this until the game releases and reviews come out...E3…

So you’re the Germans in this one? Both are correct. Donut is a hack American spelling for morons who cannot spell and was thus made “correct” by weak willed dictionary people. It’s doughnut for anyone with an ounce of self respect.

He’d be acquitted in the Senate in eight seconds and then spend six months bragging about being exonerated. Impeaching him now would give the Republicans six to eight months to flood the news with “well, he’s innocent” propaganda and every single middle of the road voter left is going to say “well, the Dems are dicks…

The kind of people who own a Patek watch aren’t trying to impress people who have no idea what that is. 

“functionally it’s just not there for me.” - Yah, that’s the reason you don’t have a Rolex lol

Riiiight here is you totally unbiased take on Dutch health care “The larger story here would seem to be that the infrastructure of the Dutch health care system is so screwed up that it is easier for a minor suffering from depression to get assistance in killing herself than it is for her to get the care she actually…

Isn’t it a 2nd class sport? I mean, let’s just be honest here for a moment, by any objective reality (ratings, sponsorship, interest, media coverage, jersey sales) you name it, women’s soccer is a minnow compared to the whale that is men’s soccer. I am all for YAY women and such, but nobody is jamming bars in my city…

You’ve obviously never run into the Chinese on vacation, I take it. The Chinese take the #1 spot and it is not even close. I was on a cruise with them to Antarctica (half the boat Chinese with their own guides and half everybody else) and the lunch buffet was like a warzone. They just did not understand the concept of…

I missed nothing. You are making massive assumptions about a situation you know nothing about. You’ve decided that a) Dutch medicine sucks b) They just said “welp, we tried shit, let’s let her die. Both of which are BS.  

Let me guess, you’re like 20? ‘cause lemme tell you at 45 that approach doesn’t work. I fly a lot. Dozens of 10+ hour flights over the years. I used to scoff at jet lag. Now that shit hits me like a tonne of bricks. A 36 hour day followed by sleep does not put you on schedule like nothing happened after about age 30.

Right because “The family had tried many kinds of psychiatric treatment and Noa Pothoven was repeatedly hospitalised;” - sure sounds like she was just being ignored. Troll. 

The funny thing is that he doesn’t really...I mean, I get that he desires this aura...the problem is that you only get that aura by being classy (or 95%) and at least pretending to care about other people 24/7...how long you think the monarchy would exist if the queen was slagging people 24/7 on twitter? They exist…

I understand it perfectly well...just because you see an Oculus as a keyboard instead of a console doesn’t make it so...nobody is going to make an Oculus Rift that lasts 10 years in terms of continually playing new games...so you have two choices a) don’t buy one b) accept that you’ll need a new one every five years…

VR is more like a console than it isn’t...graphical fidelity is going to massively change over the next twenty years...the keys on your keyboard are not...you don’t think 1080p is coming to VR? And then 2K and 4K and so on? No headset today is ever going to be used in 10 years because nobody will produce games for it.

I am curious as to what electronic device “never has to be upgraded”. We’re about to get our 5th playstation in 25 years. Your phone, PC etc.. are all upgraded regularly. There is zero chance of anyone ever making a device designed to last 10 years.
