Because I couldn’t go back to where I was from, and my community is present in this city, and once you adapt to moving here it’s hard to leave without some sort of foothold in another location, which I lack. I mean there’s a lot of great stuff about NYC for sure, and singing their praises helps us stay sane as we’re…

Seriously asking... why would you assume she doesn’t know this? Like that’s a lot of 101 information, and she’s writing about Arena for a games website where she’s been a featured writer for what feels like years.

Mostly I concede when my lines of play are dead. Sometimes, though, I will concede when my opponent is playing a strategy which matches up poorly with my keep, or when it’s just a deck I find annoying to play against (looking at you, Disinformation Campaign!). And yeah, it can be frustrating when it turns around on…

Does he not assign value to his time and the time of the CFO? Like, the potential savings of this micromanagement can’t out-pace the value of the time they spend reviewing it, can it? And the delay such review will cost other employees?

Sexual harassment is bad. Shielding a sexual harasser for your own financial benefit and then turning on him and outing him as such only when he goes against your merchandise interests is gross as fuck.

According to “The State”, I think?

Giving all due deference to her complaint, she knew he was a predatory gay (side note: yikes) and didn’t say anything about it until he acted against her financial interests... and she’s supposed to be the morally just voice in all this? Double yikes.

This is wrong, and the prison guards should be sanctioned, but also the chances that it’s just these six women who are responsible for such abuses is flagrantly unbelievable. This is “just following orders” behavior.

Counterpoint: putting Jared Kushner, an unqualified nepotism hire with no experience in these matters, in charge of hard problems to solve for everyone in history is a bad choice deserving of all vitriolic responses.

You don’t play Magic do you? You are taking a very common-sense approach to the issue, and it is betraying you because Magic is complex and weird.

This really should be a reorganization of society we can all get behind. Instead of gender-segregated facilities with flimsy doors and open urinals, we should be building out mixed-use bathrooms that have securable private stalls and sufficient guardianship of the public areas to prevent harm. It would be safer for…

Language evolves. Years ago we’d be thankful for recognition of the legitimacy of trans identity in such terms; hopefully years in the future we can move away from the medicalization of trans identity as well. Don’t get me wrong, I feel your frustration here, but... maybe focus on the vector of change at play here,…

How about instead of creating false scarcity we create more housing units and provide homes for all the people living in this country who need it? It’s cheaper than the patchwork alternatives, it creates fewer of those unpleasant externalities that NIMBYs who hate homelessness so despise, and building those housing…

Yeah, I think that context is relevant to understanding her conduct there. Like I doubt she meant to screw over the college (though she did), and I think there’s a lot of that fiduciary wrangling tied up in the position of college president (based on my own experience in a small new england college), so it’s possible…

I’m going to assume good faith on all parties and point you towards her tenureship of Burlington College. She was the president, she helped them expand to a new campus site, and in doing so she made statements to a bank to secure loans that were not strictly accurate (though explanations of why vary depending on one’s…

Close! It also opened on a tacked on bondage scene, and it was only the closing when they circled back and were like “surprise! the woman who peed on him was his WIFE!”

The logic of his daughter-drowning “joke” is an aggressively pre-term abortion of hypothetical grandchildren, so yeah you’re spot on the money.

I think the taxpayers should be more concerned about getting paid back for the millions paid out for police misconduct in Chicago rather than the hundred thousand dollars spent investigating a hate crime.

You can just say “I don’t care about this and I wish you didn’t either.” Don’t impute your cynicism to every other Democratic voter. A lot of us legitimately do care about these things. We’re not pretending.

I think this is the bigger point the critic was making, though. While every city has its own sense of place, that sense of place is not always present in a show in the same way that NYC is in Broad City. Appreciating that, particularly when you have affection for the city in question, seems like a relevant part of…
