The article quoted this almost in its entirety, and provided the same context you did. I’m not sure what your complaint with it is.

Totally not fair. Anyone who’s spent the last two and a half decades insulated from both normal life and genuine punk culture through their moderate performing success would have made the same joke.
This is what is known as a “false equivalence” although it also has elements of “the paradox of tolerance.”
400 years with diabetes will not be fun cookie...
It doesn’t NEED to be said, but of course his “3.147...” was even incorrect. 3.14159265359
He was a highly unpleasant man who was toxic on many levels. If he hadn’t retired years ago, I’m sure the MeToo movement would’ve caught up to him at some point. Or someone would have just had enough of his bravado and slugged him. I think he wouldve been an internet troll if he’d been born a few decades later.
And thank you for ungreying it!
What about the Pig War of 1859? True, the only casualty was the pig, but still!
Yeah, I thought we were just missing at a linguistic level but agreed in the larger sense. One of my bio profs used to defend the concept of vivisection on the basis that animals could not “feel pain.” To his way of thinking, because an animal could not communicate to him that it was suffering, then signs of obvious…
Sounds like a good back alley way to fund that White Rights march on DC
Did you know me during the Obama administration? No? Then you have no idea what I was outraged over and not outraged over. So fuck off with your what-about-ism bullshit. Trying to blame Obama for this hasn’t worked for Trump this time—the media for once are keeping on point—and it’s not going to work for us here.
I was privileged enough to have both woods porn and friend’s dad’s porn in my meager collection. When dad hid his penthouses in the garage, he almost certainly knew why some issues vanished. Yet there was a delicate balancing act whereby he couldn’t acknowledge having had it, so he couldn’t punish his kid for having…
Everybody has had a Lumbergh, which is what makes the movie so damn brilliant.
I bought my first compy from a skeevy 80s basement guy too. I tried bonding with him by complimenting the paintwork on the nice collection of D&D miniatures he had. He seemed appalled that a child (I must’ve been about 12) would dare comment on his painting skills (even though I was complimenting him). That was my…
On the one hand yes to everything you said, but on the other hand, it was a buggy piece of crap that barely ever worked, and the top-loading model is better for not having it.
Space Quest was great.
It’s arguably what killed Atari.
Nintendo limited the amount of releases per yearto 5 which led to companies like Konami starting Ultra Games for the sole purpose of releasing more games.
Ahh, the original Leisure Suit Larry. I remember the copy protection was that you had to answer 5 trivia questions. If you got less than 4 correct, you couldn’t play. With 4/5 you got to play a censored version, while at 5/5 you got the full-nude version of the awesome 16-color graphics. And since this was the time…
