Good point.

When you write “libtard,” the rest of us read “you can freely ignore me from now on.”

Honestly, I’d say the guy seems to suffer from some sort of pathology. To claim innonsence and then so boldly challenge the internet, when there’s so many other examples of copying indicates there’s some sort of disconnect in the guy - both his inability to not steal from other people, and then his lying about it, and…

Eh, in this case it’s because someone noticed the similarity, but my guess is that he was playing the odds (successfully for a long time) that most game writing is both pretty high volume and relatively disposable*, at least when it comes to reviews on major sites. Plus the effort to monitor this manually is probably…

I’m not and have never been involved in anything journalism-related, but isn’t that a little unfair? How can you expect editors to catch something like this? Imagine the volume of articles and video they’d have to consume. But maybe it’s an expectation, I don’t know. Seems more likely to me this stuff is caught when…

I was wondering if this was the eventual outcome of this story. People who take shortcuts and lie rarely do it once. 

I was on Jeopardy once. One of the answers was “this proverbial piece of furniture used to help aspiring actresses land movie roles” or something. I, a 26-year-old man, only knew “casting couch” from porn and was absolutely not going to say that and become an immediate disgrace to my family. That, of course, was the…

I still genuinely don’t know what to make of these allegations. The Twitter thread you posted includes a link to the article written by Amy Alexander, who made abuse allegations against Ellison in 2006 iirc. Her allegations of emotional abuse matches these newer allegations and are easy to believe. I’m not quite sold…

He’s not seeking re-election to congress. He’s currently about to primary for the dem slot to take state attorney general.

Abuse is tricky.

I got frustrated after Kintzler couldn’t get anyone out, so I flipped it off. 20 minutes later I was like “huh, why hasn’t At Bat told me the game’s over yet, maybe something’s up” and flipped back over to see Bote’s AB. I’m glad my girlfriend was still awake because I definitely went nuts.

I flipped over to see Sportcenter and this game was on and Bote was up.  Saw the Cubs were down 3-0 and was about to flip the channel when I saw the bases were loaded.  Glad I stayed to see the fireworks.

“That bat flip, though... respect the game...”—Horrible People

Can you point to one thing that the Obama administration ever announced that was even nearly as laughable as a “Space Force”?

We have this crazy thing called the Air Force, which already does everything the Space Force would do. There is no reason to have a separate branch with the extremely limited amount of activity in space at the moment.

Seen any space conflicts break out lately?

For all the times I’ve listened to that song, I’ve never seen the video.

Personally I think this is more correct:

This is such an astoundingly stupid take.
