I wonder if Erin would be quite as cool with stealing if thieves broke into her home and took her stuff. The thought experiment can assume that these thieves are “suffering from income inequality” or are “desperate”. Perhaps “shit has even been real” lately for them?

Yeah, my sympathies are with the people who paid (a lot—they’re not cheap) for epi pens to save their lives and didn’t get them, not with the vandals and thieves that _really_ need a hit of meth and trashed the life-saving pens. They’re not stealing food and blankets to care for their families, they’re just stealing…

“Now, every outlet is calling these folks thieves, and sure, that’s technically correct.”

I should’ve stopped reading the first time Erin offered excuses for criminal behavior. But I kept reading and found more of it.

This weird apologist take is just bad. These people are thieves, stealing things from OTHER people who legitimately bought something despite the poor economy. This isn’t a stick-it-to-bezos thing. This is impacting folks like you and me who work to pay their bills, then get their hard-earned shit stolen by someone who…

Well, this is a stupid take.  

Even having been lucky enough to get an XSX near launch, I still quite miss the Xbox One’s HDMI pass-through and the ability to use Kinect for voice controls. So take your “Xbox One sucked,” turn it sideways, and cram it in your kiester.

why is everyone ignoring this? discrimination is despicable and should be punished, but the admins/mods of tabletop sim haven’t actually discriminated against anybody. they are being crucified for no reason other than a simple misunderstanding that can be quickly corrected with some googling, and this article is…

Transphobia is bigotted hatred and shouldn’t be encouraged. Trans rights are human rights, and trans identity is as valid as CIS identity.

Maybe. Probably. Who cares?

I don’t care about Tesla, EVs, SpaceX or Musk but this obsession with negative reporting is starting to make Jalopnik look bad. At some point the neutral observer is going to start asking what the fuck is going on behind the scenes here and why the hate-boner rages so hard and long for this dude

For anyone that has seen the many SpaceX fan channels on YouTube about Starship and Boca Chica, seeing Musk around there is normal. I’ve seen them.. with him hot and exhausted.

What you are describing is a dialect. Consistent dialects are a sign of good writing, not bad. You not liking it doesn’t speak to the writing on the game, but your own personal preferences.

I know people that actually talk like that, so why is that a problem? TO make it makes the language more realistic.

This article fails to mention one key piece when stating you “shouldn’t play” Vanguard.

The unfortunate thing about history is that we have a tendency to idolize and white-wash our cultural heritages to ensure that we can feel good about who we are and where we come from, when the truth is that every hero, pioneer or paragon in history had their dark side. We get this idea in our heads that if someone…

Did we all miss the line that he donated $28 million to charity. Seriously, nothing pleases you people. 

“Being a car enthusiast means understanding that the vast majority of car users are huge dipshits that misuse their driving privileges,”

I’m all for inclusiveness. But please remember the focus here is video games. I thoroughly enjoy and/or appreciate articles about, for example, minority developers or reporting on harassment or the state of minorities when it comes to video games.

I’d be very happy with this site goes back to reporting on games, gaming events, and game companies.. and leaves politics and social agendas at the door. Games are for escaping the real world. To relax and de-stress. If I want to read up on politics or social events, I’ll load up BBC, NPR or CNN.
