I'm a guy. We really don't need to be pointed out and specifically included in everything.

I'm white, when people say racist shit, it really bothers me, but not in the same way it bothers a person of color. This is no different.

11/10. Best Kotaku article ever, by far. Sadly, it won't get the clicks it deserves.

Hell yes, I caught like 2 episodes as a kid and was hooked - really dark and intense, especially for a kids show. I'd get up early to watch it every weekend for months, but never managed to see it again.

Good to know I wasn't the only one who read this and thought . . ."ok". This feels like some pointless rant you'd seen in your facebook feed.

Well, if the state owns the facility and it operates tax/fee exempt, the overhead should be low enough to the point where it's just a matter of time before they recoup the overhead and then the expenses are just fuel, maintenance and wages. Yeah, it's all just speculation w/o the data, but going by the closest…

Private Electrical firms have always dominated the market from it's inception. Municipal power was a progressive reform reaction to the growing electrical monopolies and never dominated the market by any stretch of the imagination. Don't drink the right wing kool aid.

There are lots of public utilities that exist for just that reason. Some local politicians (or the people who elect them - since democracy still works on small levels in this country sometimes) realize giving private companies a natural monopoly is a bad idea, and will either gouge their base or be a regulatory…

Nah, that's just neo-liberal corporate welfare. You're not going to find any actual socialists who support this - it requires a capitalist paradigm we don't support in the first place.

Socialism is a very broad term and often misused. This is Market Socialism, it's not removing competition; it's removing profit as a function of price. These gas stations are more than free to innovate and lower their prices, or use alternate strategies to sell higher price gasoline and recoup profits otherwise.

This…

The word means nothing in this country anymore. It's whatever the "right" doesn't like.

Doubtful. It's probably just being operated at 0 profit after expenses. Tax payers just put up the initial capital and then it becomes self sustaining. It's really common, just look into Municipality Owned Utilities.

It's cool. Good in a lot of ways. Serious lack of content though (even for casual players). It's the trade off to focusing all their efforts on dynamic, world changing one-shot content.

I stopped playing 7 months after release, just logged in a couple weeks ago (over a year after leaving) and there's almost nothing…

The first one looks like she has a Nike swoosh carved into her face instead of a nose. The rest are pretty cool though.

Or just ignore people expressing their opinions on art if they don't sync up with yours.

It's a clone.
I've been playing MTG since Ice Age (nearly 20 years now?). I've made several sets for casual play and I'm currently getting together a patent for a CCG I've developed and planning on launching a Kickstarter.

There are some elements that MTG just locked up right, and will be followed by any decent TCG.…

Holy shit. I don't need to do research on agricultural subsidies. My degree is in Agricultural Economics. My job is, literally, to interpret the data that determines agricultural subsidies. . .

The fact that we use farm subsidies to keep food prices from bottoming out since agriculture, by nature, produces variable a…

Why do people who ignore science and misrepresent facts out of ignorance or agenda feel they're entitled to anything but "Fuck You"?

I mean, if I were to start going on about how gravity is a scientific conspiracy for. . um, reasons. . I'd pretty well expect to be told to fuck off at this point. You know, for…

Bw-r-r-r-r-rtttt Bwt-o-o-o-o-o-oom

The fucking mating call of Michael Bay.

I'm American.
I think it's funny there are a bunch of people (presumably other Americans) attacking you (in ridiculous ways) for pointing out the obvious.
Of course we're not all like that. But, yeah, this is unsurprising and typical.

*Sigh*

I really wish people would learn what "Anarchy" actually means. You know that Anarchy Symbol your 14 year old brother loves - the "circle" is the letter O. The symbol means "Anarchy is Order". The "democracy" system you mention - ie, direct democracy, is actually far, far, far more representative of "Anarchy"…
