They’re introducing item level to gear and weapons. So instead of a gun being a rifle, it’s a level 1 rifle with 14dps. They’re introducing raids, locked by ilvl and other content. While it may not share everything in common with The Division, it’s entered the same game genre and core gameplay loop. Which makes it…

Raids? item level? Oh, cool. So it’s The Division. I guess Ghost Recon is dead now.

A lot of games do that kind of humanization. You’ll be a super soldier sneaking up on some troops guarding a door. One is talking about how is wife is about to give birth and he’s nervous. But you have no choice but to kill them. They’re in your way. There’s a strong movement to brand everyone with a scarlet letter…

Kemper is just the gift that keeps on giving. His insights, even those unrelated to his experience as a killer, always push the show along and challenge Ford’s understanding of killers, their “work”, and his work. Tench, for all his standing as head of the BAU, can’t get past his “oh. Killers. Ew” mentality, and seems…

I’m a little over all the “Ford is the bad guy” storylines that are coming up after this show. The idea that the mothers of the victims are righteous and Ford is too insensitive feels nice, but doesn’t connect to whats actually happening in the show. Ford, as I see it, is the only one who isn’t taken in with the…

Hopefully not a spoilery comment.

I was not a fan of season 2. It was borderline obnoxious how often the Klan and the search for a black man was shot down in the series. I get it. It’s the 70's in the south. Race is a big thing. Can we get to the reason we watch MindHunter though and talk about serial killers?

RTK…

I could identify the Fox and Friends and the Tucker bits. Laura Ingraham definitely fooled me every time. She is a Crusader.

And there are many Trader Joe’s exclusive brands, that are not manufactured by Trader Joe’s but only sold in there stores to get you to go shop there. Same with CostCo, and many other chains.

Exclusivity isn’t new, and it isn’t restricted to video games. If exclusive titles on Epic don’t sell, developers will be less…

This man is insane. Hotdogs are a type of hot sandwich. Obviously, not all sandwiches are hot dogs, nor are the terms interchangeable, as he often argues as a point in hot dogs favor. Instead, just as burgers are a type of sandwich, hot dogs are a hero. 

You’re right. All the news outlets should have brought readers into her home to talk to her family, maybe watched her old home videos. Labels like “e-girl” or “influencer” are meaningless, and it’s important than everyone know how she felt about her best friend, and whether she liked people singing happy birthday to…

Is it an excuse to say that different people have different opinions and different motivations than you? Weird...

Cold Brew is 100% where it’s at. Better tasting faster coffee at the ready. 

Because corporations have a legal responsibility to maximize profits, and no legal responsibility to be “woke and with it”. 

So what is the scam part? Do they take the money and run? Is it stolen goods? Or is it just a false premise to get you to buy perfectly legitimate (albeit low quality) steaks or speakers?

And the Hotel Fee isn’t a scam, so much as a tax. You’re paying a tax. 

Public Transportation is not a scam. 

So, what they’re doing is trying to switch your gas/electricity provider (you still go through the utility, but ESCO companies provide electricity to the utility, and is sold through to the customer).

I used to work for one of those companies. They make no salary, are 100% commission, and there is a good deal of…

Companies like Redfin or Zillow generally pull off the MLS as well, so it’s not like these sites are ‘alternatives’, as much as they are more accessible offshoots.

Going through something like Redfin can be fine... if you’re very knowledgeable about the real estate process and are ok going into the buying or selling…

It’s almost a Biden-esque look. 

I don’t think saying you’d vote for Obama a 3rd time is the whitest thing you can say. But saying it to the black man your daughter brings home is DEFINITELY the most liberal white thing you can say. 

Well, Negro is still very commonly used (United Negro College Fund). As is colored (National Association for the Advanced of Colored People). As is Eskimo. In fact, many of the native peoples of Alaska embrace the term Indian and Eskimo. So my problem is not so much with someone saying that Eskimo should or shouldn’t…
