Well and I mean, there are still awesome games coming out. Whenever a new Yakuza title drops, I’m totally down for that shit. Monster Hunter World was great fun, and I put like 400+ hours into it. But yeah, setting aside Rockstar games, I’m rarely, if ever, excited for anything AAA these days. It’s just an…

And the reason why this is relevant to insurance companies (the ones financing these ratings) is because they, crucially, do not want to have to pay out for any of these types of injuries or deaths. So they have a genuine incentive to pressure car makers to improve their automatic emergency braking systems.

Or we could work harder on educating pedestrians to not walk out into the road without looking, keep a closer eye on their kids, and have cyclists and bikers keep to the fucking edge of the road.

Ketosis is literally pathological. I’m not sure how people have convinced themselves that it can be healthy, but it really never is.

Soylent is ostensibly for men who want to optimize their health.

At the same time, it’s on the consumer to be responsible for their own purchases, which it sounds like Cole’s doing. A difficult lesson learned, but glad he’s owning it—and using his experience to try to warn others.

Sometimes though, we know better and should be held responsible for our own actions. This isn’t defending lootboxes, it’s holding someone accountable for their actions when they know better. It’s not a 9 year old, it’s a grown adult making dumb decisions.

She coasted on name recognition like most shitty establishment politicians.

I officially no longer give a shit. Seriously, if the “Christian” right and the rest of the red hatters can flat out ignore Donald Trump’s numerous and glaring flaws because he delivers the goods, I choose to ignore those of our Democratic candidates.

It’s not like she’s my most favorite Senator ever or anything - she’s just solidly Democratic and not super controversial.

I think Hamilton write a possibly tongue-in-cheek piece about Sanders not running, and instead throwing his weight behind one of the other candidates, and centrists in the comments took it seriously.

Even if you don’t care about workers being abused by their bosses (which you apparently don’t), then consider the totally pragmatic-minded reason to care about this shit: Klobuchar notoriously can’t keep staffers around, or draw good ones in, because she is such a huge asshole and pain to work for. Even setting aside…

You are literally the only person who gives a shit.

In a statement, his legal team referred to Thursday’s press conference by the CPD as a “law enforcement spectacle” and that Smollett “fiercely and solemnly maintains his innocence and feels betrayed by a system that apparently wants to skip due process and proceed directly to sentencing.”

My impression is that it mostly came about because teams were tripping over themselves making horrid picks on high school prospects hoping that they’d get the next Kobe, or whatever. The rule was instituted in order to protect them from their own asinine gold-rush mentality, not to protect kids from the evils of money…

In an ideal world, there would be specific reparations. But unless there was an immediate lump-sum payout to all affected parties, it would just be a lot of time wasted concocting a complex program with a long-term rollout, which would then just become a perpetual target of cancellation by the opposition. It’s the…

That’s the thing, though. You’re not going to get more specifics, and if any of these people win the presidency, they aren’t going to fight for reparations. Warren’s plan to tie it to housing is laughable, considering that buying a house is a near impossibility for most ordinary people these days, whether they get…

Ehh, it’s going to be super boring because there are almost certainly going to be rules set up requiring teams to standardize their routines.

It doesn’t happen more to women. Reply people do that shit to everyone.

Yeah, it’s such a weird critique. Like, isn’t the problem that you’re neck-deep in social media, but feel taken aback by the entire concept of a dude replying to something you wrote on social media? There are people who literally make their entire livings off the followings they’ve developed online, and yet you’ll…
