Incitement to riot doesn’t require that you tell people to be violent - it simply requires that your actions encourage people to riot, whether that is your intent or not, spoken or not.

Ricci Sergienko, an organizer at People’s City Council, a group that organizes against policing, told Jezebel the massive cultural reaction to the slide video stems in part from the obvious physical comedy. But it’s also funny because it took a children’s slide to deliver some form of karmic “justice” in a society…

You guys constantly doomsay about what microsoft MIGHT do, and ignore what the competition already is doing.

But it isn’t men driving any of this content - the vast majority of men don’t care! Men’s only function in this is to be the prize these girls get when they prove they’re ‘better’ than everyone else (in this case by acting and dressing like themselves and shitting on women who are different).

Incredibly facile list. “I don’t remember anything but that it had the red white and blue colours.” Likewise, I don’t think Cyberpunk 2077 has anything novel to say that hasn’t already been said by 40 years of cyberpunk fiction. It’s completely jejune

Did he kick your dog or something? You’re allowed to just ignore the guy if you don’t like his movies.

Except - it isn’t the FTC, or anyone involved in the case, asking the judge to recuse, it’s an outside third party. It may be that the litigants decided that they didn’t think the judge would be biased and they could deal with it.

The CEO is entirely correct. PlayStation forced exclusives to be the method any interested players must utilize in order to compete at all. Sony controls the market, they are the dominant player.

I’m gonna try this new thing where I don’t pass judgment until there’s a ruling or verdict.

Okay, to be clear: the Call of Duty narrative was pushed by regulators and Sony’s own testimony. That was not introduced by Microsoft based on any of the documentation I’ve seen.

At this point people have been bashing the quality of Metallica’s “new stuff” for more than 30 years, so lists like this one exist in a weird space. You can’t just rehash their three best albums the 80s, and I appreciate that they found some love for weird shit like Lulu and the back half of Reload.

Gamers, please stop leaking classified military documents on gaming platforms.

The argument from Microsoft refers to “advanced” consoles in an effort to dismiss the Nintendo Switch and focus on Sony.

BO ... lingers on your clothing ... the psychological trauma makes you imagine the odor for quite a while

In the real world, “people saying mean things to you” is just life.

I understand the need of representation and it has been a hard work for a lot of people, to be rightfully represented and working against stereotypes, and we just got and amazing representation of it in the Last of Us, and for me it was representation of love, something that everyone no matter their gender could feel,…

People will mock you but you're right. What you say is intellectually consistent with the belief that all need to be treated equally. Some will come up with elaborate reasons why people objectionable to them deserve such treatment. Those are excuses they tell themselves so that they can practice their cruelty on…

Why do you have to say “the straights”? Your prejudice is just as awful as the people who are review bombing. I am straight, and I thoroughly enjoyed the episode. I never once thought what a fantastic depiction of queer love. I only thought about how beautiful a depiction it was of an excellent relationship.

A friend of mine worked on a Whedon show years ago and he said half the behind the scenes crew had the last name Whedon. I’m sure he was exaggerating and I’m sure at least a few people behind the scenes got the gig via family connections.

Exactly, simply because a parent isn’t in the exact same field doesn’t mean they don’t have a professional/personal network of people who may be and are familiar with/willing to do a favor for the parent. Taylor swift’s parents aren’t musicians but her dad was well-connected and did buy 50% of a record label to give…
