I have USUALLY hated the Macy’s parade.

Hutsell was Jan Brady. A lot. Too much, really.

Which is why I said it was stupid to try to apply it here.

I assume they’re making the argument that the daughter wasn’t an actual party to every conversation being recorded. She was merely present. It’s incredibly stupid to apply that here, but it is an important distinction. Otherwise anyone who wanted to record anything could call themselves a consenting party.

Rocksteady looks good. The turtles aren’t exactly my taste, but I have no real complaints. Nothing wrong with different. But Bebop looks like crap. Why he looks like crap isn’t what bothers me about it. It’s just a bad design.

I just can’t fathom the logic of an emaciated warthog. Pigs are famously fat animals. It would be like having a giraffe with no neck.

The foot soldiers didn’t bother me, but Bebop looks terrible.

Sure, but usually you’d also see something like “...and did not hear back before publication”. I’m just wondering if press time has a specific meaning in online publications. I usually only see it used around the Gizmodo-sphere.

There is no specific deadline that must be met. You don’t have to get your story in before it goes to the printers (which is what press time originally meant). A deadline can be set, but “I want this by 5" isn’t the same as “I need this by 5".

... and did not hear back before press time.

Brent Spiner getting involved in a Twitter war with Trump supporters could be what leads to “the incident”.

Because he was an asshole, but he wasn’t a stupid asshole.

I agree with your argument but disagree with your arbitrary assertion. The right time to eat Thanksgiving dinner is 1am. You get first pick of the leftovers and you can avoid your family. Win/win.

Wait. Is that Headmaster Ken the kind where it’s a little transformer Ken making the head or the kind where it’s an actual human Ken in a suit that makes the head? I have no earthly idea why I care, but I really do.

US law doesn’t work on these issues at all. That’s kind of the problem.

Even the ability to sell makes it less like gambling. As it stands you can get stuck with duplicates that, if not entirely worthless, are at least worth less than you paid. The ability to sell them off and get your “wager” back reduces losses. It isn’t gambling if the worst you can do is break even.

How is it that if a random digital object I get out of a pack I purchase can be turned more readily into real cash, it’s less like gambling?

The difference between lootboxes and those quarter-turn capsule toy machines is that those quarter-turn capsule toy machines are almost always full of items that have about the same value. You can’t get less than you paid for and there is no jackpot to be had.
