The best way to buy it is to don’t buy it.

Hey now! The first five or so episodes of that show were great!

I guess I don’t get what you mean. Living for decades in the same house while not spending money on anything more than the basics, with no family to support, and what I assume is a pretty good salary is a recipe for being able to pull up stakes pretty easily. My sister is probably in a similar financial position to…

Yeah AirBnB absolutely encourages the idea of ALL property as short-term rental property. Landlords love it because they make way more per night with people guaranteed to leave soon, especially if they don’t live there, and there’s an entire employment market of people who are essentially building supers for multiple…

I guess I’m glad Gary Cole is working but dammit he’s one of our best comic actors and he’s wasted in something like NCIS.

I’ve been mad at this for well at least three years. $80 a night options with $200 cleaning fees. Nope. Add in reward programs with hotels and it’s a much more affordable option. What ABB is good for is large groups who want to split a house instead of 3 or more hotel rooms or extended stays. For a single person or…

Here’s the evil thing about Airbnb. It is making finding affordable housing even harder and sometimes impossible. I live in a small community that folks like to visit in the summer. There are no moderately priced rentals or homes for sale anymore. They are all Airbnbs now.

That wasn’t a “creative caveat.” That was just straight up forceful parenting. Give your child options, don’t force them into one. How is what you did any better than the parent who swats the Polly pocket playset out of her son’s hands? Seriously, if I’m missing something here... enlighten me.

Was going to say the same thing. The author went in the complete opposite direction and is, as a result, no better than those insistent on forcing their kids to strictly adhere to gender norms.

Yeah agreed, I just don’t get people like him and Rowling. You’re old, you’re uncomfortable with trans stuff, it’s weird to you, fine, but why the obsession, why do you have to triple down on it? My guess is they’re old, bored and rich, and thinking about this stuff gives them something to do that feels meaningful,…

Ahh yes, Columbus and Reagan. Both men who didn't know where they were or what was going on. Bless.

Gender-neutral parenting is important as far as teaching kids they can be who they want to be without adhering to historic gender norms. Nothing wrong with women truckers or male ballet dancers and it’s toxic to suggest otherwise. But messing with your kid’s toys seems a step too far. If you’re kid is into logging…

Well it matters to Chappelle and Betflix because nothing gets people’s attention than something controversial.

Yeah it was never going to be taken down he’s very popular and they spent a lot on him, but I’m glad people have spoken up about it. He’s a rich cranky old bigot that is uncomfortable (weirdly obsessed) with trans people. His opinion on it just doesn't matter and he's punching down. This causes harm. If he's not going…

No, you’re just licking Kotaku’s corporate boots like a pathetic shill. There’s no excuse or justification for writing a post promoting piracy of a brand new game, then acting like they were just being informative, and COMPELTELY REWRITING the article to cover their asses. The original article is out on social media…

Man, you’re working overtime to try to justify behaving like a spoiled, entitled child.

Look, y’all, I hope from having commented here for years that it’s clear I’m approaching this in good faith, but that edit? “We regret that interpretation” and talking about how your readers are independent adults isn’t an apology. It reads very much “we’re sorry you feel that way.”

How many people emulating Switch games on their computers do you think own a hacked switch with which they personally dump their own roms? Or rather, what proportion?

Some people just have a moral objection to theft and don't think they simply deserve something because a company makes a lot of money.  And others just think logically about the very real sales thresholds companies put on games and if they don't sell enough, sequels just don't happen.  Nintendo has too many IPs to…

Pirate the game when it’s a decade old, mysteriously absent from Nintendo’s next online storefront and going for absurd prices on the secondhand market. But today? Just buy a copy.
