they’re very common in nations like North Korea and Russia, where their respective armed forces are regularly used to show political strength. warn people not to step out of line.

Wait...for decades of combustion-powered automobiles, 0-60 times were everything. It’s the primary stat the entire automotive publishing industry was built upon. But with battery-powered cars we’re now suddenly not supposed to care?

You can think of it like that, or you can think of it as being priced well for both a home console and portable one. 2.5 hours + USB charging, and I can take it on the plane? And it’s one system? It not only just sealed the Vita’s future but any other competition

I’m hoping that charging for the service is going to allow them to provide services they haven’t been able to justify the cost of in the past, and end up with a competitive online offering. If it’s just what they’ve been offering in the past, yea, that’s going to be a huge rip-off. If they can make something…

They will earn more money, gain better benefits, have better working conditions, and have strength in conflict resolution.

Trump straight up ran (if we didn’t launch, which he pretty much did, let’s be honest) the “Birther” movement. But NOW we need to triple-check everything that leaks about Trump?…

Do you think you should trust the government without them offering proof of their claims?

Many of the same reporters feverishly reported every Wikileaks dump of the Podesta hack without once noting if the content was actually relevant to anything. Yes, the Buzzfeed publication may be bullshit, or partially bullshit, but you cannot deny it is relevant to the public.

I’m not sure how to feel, yet, but one discomfiting thought that keeps coming back is how it feels kind of similar to how right leaning outlets would bring up pizzagate with a sorta “we just don’t know!” hands in the air routine.

What is SOUNDS like:

Could have been worse.

Excellent idea. We’ll get right on that.

I got an idea. Instead of the Top 12(10, 50, or whatever) do a percentage based list.
