The guy is the child of Notre Dame professors who attended a private Catholic school a couple miles from the college campus, then went to Harvard, then Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship, but he plays it like the hayseed in the big city. He then went to work for McKinsey, one of, if not the most prestigious management…

Probably that Call of Duty Space received so much hate and Titanfall failed to perform, therefore 2143 won’t print money.

There is no statute of limitations on war crimes. 

It’s been pointed out elsewhere in the comments, but the issue with Buttigieg has to do with Manning’s treatment in prison and his disagreement with the commuting of her sentence.

My experience might skew perception, but that take involving pedophiles and the KKK feels like old hat from the right, throw in some slippery slope nonsense about allowing “the gays” to marry leading to polygamy, or marrying animals, or marrying objects, and you get a pretty good sense for what amounted to standard…

It seems like what most people want out of a Democrat, aside from being not Trump, has more to do with legislative experience rather than executive or military experience. Healthcare, income inequality, climate change, immigration, banking regulation, antitrust regulation, voter rights, and on and on, all legislative…

You had widespread calls for resignation from both Democrats and Republicans in that case. Compare that to Republicans closing ranks and largely remaining silent when it came to Steve King and Roy Moore.

Which is why I said we’ve reached the point. I don’t think either Clinton or Lewinsky would receive the same treatment they received twenty one years ago.

Yeah, but those are usually rich and powerful Republicans. The thing is that we’ve reached the point where Democrats and Republicans seek to hold Democrats accountable, but only Democrats show up when it comes to holding Republicans accountable.

Iran funds Hezbollah and Hamas in a proxy conflict with Israel. It has also funded various organizations in a proxy conflict with Saudi Arabia, including the Houthis in Yemen, Assad in Syria, and Hezbollah Al-Hejaz in Saudi Arabia. Iran also funds Iraqi Shia paramilitary groups, groups that originally fought against…

Next up, Republicans suddenly start caring about deficits and national debt.

A friend recently mentioned that they had killed some animal in the game, and that they were killing one of each type of animal they came across, joking that there might be some achievement for “collecting” them all, and it struck me that I never even considered that the animals could be killed. The animals in this…

NZ has various invasive species problems that are often dealt with .22 rifles which are usually semi-automatic and have pretty high capacity magazines because the ammunition is so small. Those .22s are now limited to magazines of 10 rounds. On top of that, pistols were already much more heavily restricted than long…

I think Wraithfighter’s point is that by choosing that subject matter and developing it in the way that they did, Massive and Ubisoft already tied themselves to one side, in writing. Their claim that they and their games aren’t political is just the fine print to proverbially cover their asses if anyone cares enough…

Wouldn’t the more apt analogy be should Wells Fargo be responsible for the meth lab they financed exploding? I agree that liability shouldn’t be expanded lightly, but it’s an interesting question. Part of me savors the idea that if moneyed interests lobby to remove or drastically reduce regulation that would otherwise…

Shifting responsibility from producers to consumers has, historically, worked as a way for producers to avoid regulation. In that the conversation becomes what can you do to fight climate change, how can you live your life in a way that minimizes your carbon footprint and saves the environment, when really the…

The disposable plastic grocery bag has always seemed weird to me, how hard is it to have reusable cotton, canvas, or plastic bags for when you need to go shopping? Also, bonus, those bags don’t garrote your fingers with thin plastic if you need to carry something heavy.

Beat me to it.

Devin Nunes being Devin Nunes aside, are there any statistics as to how helpful this straw thing is?

You get better and prettier equipment that then lets you run through missions faster so you can get better and prettier equipment that then...
