I've heard some of them say that they'd support the exceptions because it's more likely to get laws passed. They'd rather have no exceptions.

Yeah, but the regulations in the case of taxis was making an artificial scarcity situation. I dislike the idea of million dollar permits for driving a cab. There is probably a middle ground here where we can allow hard working people to get their own licenses (which means competition) AND not say that the unregulated…

I'm not sure I was okay with how the taxi services were before, but it really blows my mind that companies like Uber and Lyft can just come into a space and basically ignore the laws. Although, I think I've just come up with a new service that gets around health codes: 'Shared House-Spouse,' the service that brings…

> However, I feel it's unfair just to end a wanted pregnancy based on what you think the fetuses quality of life will be.

Well... One unsterilized man can (theoretically at least) impregnate a lot of women. One unsterilized woman can only get pregnant once every nine months. If you're really going for population control, missing men is more of a problem than missing women. If you had a population of fifty unsterilized women, and forty…

That was a troll, right? Assuming yes... wow, that was really good, and quite subtle.

Yes. I find tampons to be uncomfortable, and have since I was young.

Not a big deal. Catholics have believed in evolution and the Big Bang for a long time. Certainly since I was a little kid in the eighties. God set up the rules in the first place, after all.

(FYI, Leigh Alexander, the author of the piece, is a woman.) It's fair that you didn't agree with it. I didn't think it was particularly aggressive, personally. I haven't met anyone in the industry (irl) who thought it was anything but thought-provoking, so perhaps having it publicized to the non-industry, which has…

And then, 14 articles on as many website claimed all on the same day "Gamers are dead". Now that makes a lot of people wonder and ask question.

I was going to say she'd have been a better thief if only she'd stayed at the Holiday Inn Express...

Well, as I understand it, the door was open and people could see them. If no one could see them and if it didn't bother anyone to see what they were doing, they wouldn't have (reportedly) been asked to stop, and when they decided not to stop, it wouldn't have escalated to a call to police. As for going to jail... I'll…

I support legalizing prostitution. I do not support legalizing having sex in public.

Yeah, I feel like this is too close to that episode to be real.

Attacking Zoe Quinn. Had the accusations been based in truth rather than a jilted boyfriend, it might have been worth something. Instead, people were conned into harrassing a developer because she cheated on her boyfriend.

The starting point in this case was bad. Let's say a group started with a blatantly racist event. Then they decided to talk about crime. Even if they had some points, there's a poisoned well situation because they started as a racist group. You can't build off of something that started with an inherently evil act.

I really don't think you're right about her being a liar. The first two videos I watched of hers weren't lies. They were same-old to me, no new information, boring. Are games sexist? Yeah, in broad strokes they are, and they have been all my life. I noticed it when I was a ten year old, probably because I was a girl…

No. All gamers are not mysoginists. But a heck of a lot of mysoginists are hiding in the gamergate room with you. Get out before it's too late! And stop making us all look bad to old people media...

Uh, no. If she said that and you are right (not a fan of the Hitman series, and I don't really watch Sarkeesian because I already know most of it through experience, so I'm not going to judge that), then that makes her wrong, not a truth-twisting liar. The problem isn't people disagreeing with her so much as the…

Cooking? Not... asking for directions? What kind of bullshit sterotype surveys are they running there?
