The things you cite are all perfectly legal reasons to turn away a customer, as none of the reasons target a protected class of people. So you don’t need to wait for this court decision - you can enact this policy today!

Not for a) a console game b) with this many problems. It’s not conceivable that someone could put in hours and hours without noticing the avalanche of problems. The disparity you’re citing between different people’s experiences is MUCH more common for PC games, where everyone’s system is drastically different. There…

That’s an excellent top five artists! No roasting required. Mine were:

Is it really so much harder to tap a button on your phone?

What does “real” mean to you in this context? In my book, something is real if it makes an impact. Words that impact people, that elicit a response, are real - intent doesn’t matter in the slightest. What you say on Twitter is exactly as real as something you say out loud or write in a letter. Words matter.

Since he’s not running in Florida, that won’t be a problem at all.

What moral precept suggests to you that “don’t touch other people’s property” is the most important calculation here? The idea that personal property rights are more important than public safety is honestly psychotic. Your belief is a prime symptom of a society near collapse.

“Intelligence” doesn’t encompass everything that sapience does. There are plenty of intelligent animals that we don’t ascribe sapience to (notwithstanding potentially sapient animals that we haven’t yet recognized). Sapience is more associated with wisdom than intelligence - intelligence applied across time in order…

Wow, with regard to Thanos: that’s super stupid. Not that Marvel plots have ever made much sense, but that takes the cake.

“Sapience” is the only common one I’m aware of. Becky Chambers, the most inclusive science fiction author I’ve ever read, uses it quite a bit.

In the context of science fiction, sapience usually refers to all self-aware intelligent species / beings, including advanced AI constructs and advanced biological species.

“Sapient” is actually correct here, as Thanos seemingly intended to wipe out half of all intelligent beings. Not all sentient beings are sapient: sentience implies the ability to feel, while sapience implies self-aware intelligence and wisdom.

This is the dumbest fucking take, typical of people who don’t actually understand the mechanics of comedy. Chappelle is not Tim & Eric - his comedy isn’t esoteric or deep. You either take pleasure in cruelty or not - there’s nothing here to “get.”

Ah, well your total guess without any evidence whatsoever MUST be better. You really nailed that take - so self-aware and thoughtful!

I agree that SNL still has bright points, but the lows are so VERY low. It would be significantly better if Lorne would retire and let some youths run it. Make SNL weird again!

The only thing less funny than current SNL is current Dave Chappelle. Truly uninspired on every level. But if that’s your thing, I guess have fun mocking marginalized communities?

Depp knew for a fact he abused Amber Heard, and he still filed a lawsuit against her, so...

Because losing a multi-million dollar lawsuit for assault isn’t worth it?

Why WOULDN’T they say “we are aware of serious injuries sustained during TwitchCon. We cannot comment further at this time, but we wish the affected people a speedy recovery”? Where’s the legal danger in that?

Why is it that shitty people like you feel the need to constantly announce how shitty they are? Did mommy not love you enough?
