An American stakes her American name on recommending an American dish that’ll appeal to Americans.

But they are regulating it effectively; you’re just not paying attention, or you don’t understand what they did. They wanted her off their platform and they got her off their platform. The problem isn’t that they’re not ‘effective,’ it’s that they don’t share your values (or mine).

Thank you. I was feeling down on myself and questioning my life choices. I was wondering if I’d been a net good in this world or if things would have been better off without me. Thank you for dispelling those doubts, and making me, Dick Cheney, feel better about myself.

Nier Automata, because you get to sit down and relax. Doesn’t matter that there’s no game there. 2b deserves the break.

Good thing you had to make it part of your dumb little culture war instead of just calling it property destruction and possibly homicidal sabotage.

“Earlier this year, Borderlands fans were devastated” - no. Please complain to your editor for letting you do this stuff. 

I’m sorry, but this really rings hollow. I understand that you regret the way the article was posted and the content that it initially contained, but saying that this was a failure of the Kotaku editorial process just seems to me to be a gross mischaracterization of what happened here. I refuse to believe that you…

“Lawyers on both sides make assdumb claims to see what sticks, Root blogger has mind blown”. Of course the defense will try to defend her, of course the prosecution will try to find her guilty. How can this blog be this upset again that lawyers try to do their job? And then quote this like it’s a normal brain thought…

Surely the most obvious question is whether we live in a society

“the internet is a repository of everything” is an absurd thing to say; it’s counterfactual and extremely myopic. The internet is a playground for nostalgic white English-speaking nerds, but unsurprisingly they don’t treasure ‘everything.’

Americans are so fucking poorly educated about labor relations and market power dynamics that they have to resort to explaining these things through relationship metaphors like ghosting and gaslighting. You are not dating your boss.

Good, then I know I’m not wrong to shout YOU LOST, YOU INCOMPETENT WASTES OF FIELD at the fans of the losing team

do you not understand what a criticism / review site is supposed to do

What city has more bugs than non-urban areas?

This is a good lesson for Valve to start being careful about their role as a signal booster, even if the original message was worth listening to - luckily no-one killed themselves because of their thoughtlessness. Let’s hope they do better!

You can be woke, you can be an anime fan, or you can be neither, but you cannot sensibly be both.

“We are fighting for cramps”... crumbs? 

...the bride is an asshole who shat all over her friends and family (“putting ungodly amounts of pressure on ourselves just to please a bunch of people who, in the end, only want free food and drinks.”) The sister is fine. Who the fuck thinks their wedding ‘pleases’ other people?

“putting ungodly amounts of pressure on ourselves just to please a bunch of people who, in the end, only want free food and drinks.” Yeah, fuck those guys, just in it for the free drinks. Honestly, why did they even show up? Like, who died and invited them to my wedding?
