I really am not a fan of these visuals so far. I know they’ve stressed they’re not the final ones, but they have said they’re sticking with the polygon look. That combined with the amount of Gaussian blur going on here is really distracting.

“They inconsistently apply their rules because... they can.”

This is kinda silly reasoning. This is a platform that holds a large impact on how modern PC games and indie games get distributed to a wide audience. The fact that they’re inconsistent in applying their own policy is a legitimate discussion/critique to have.

NVM

I think we’re under-estimating mainstream America’s capacity for enjoying that kind of veiled, dog-whistle racism.

I could easily see the “meant to go down easy” nature of the Today show pair well with a host that could always delve into milquetoast, “all sides are bad” style commentary when she needs to.

GASP! Dissenting opinions on debated, controversial subjects? In the opinion section of a respected newspaper no less?!!!

This article’s timing could not be better as my forced return to Zombie Gawker has reminded me of why I left to begin with: the insistence that progressivism demands a single, unified narrative on…

Its not a laughing matter, glad you think its a joke though.

You’re right. The fact that you don’t think you have to even engage with this issue is much more gross.

Its beyond gross to see intersectionality used as an excuse to not approach an issue from an intersectional perspective.

It’s pretty gross actually to suggest that one’s wokeness should be predicated on how you read an ambiguous situation of sexual assault. 

Dude, every article about Taylor Swift you’ve been on here talking about how her music is appealing to white racists, and now apparently, Nazis. Apparently she is also not only failing to embrace leftist politics, but also is somehow failing to embracing “centrist” politics. Your comment on the lyric video was…

Good.

Its worth noting Arpaio’s cruelty and violation of civil rights extends beyond the more publicized jail:

If he didn’t include that in there it’d be easy for us to just say that it must be something else besides the virginity, especially since we don’t want to come off as supporting that Nice Guy (TM) attitude that women are shallow/in it for the sex. looks, etc.

I think the issue is clearly his abstinence angle, not the…

Yeah, I think we actually agree and are just talking past each other as they say.

In this case, it seems that he’s not getting enough sex or not getting whatever type of sex he wants....This could absolutely be worked on and he has a moral obligation to do so as a partner in a monogamous relationship.

He deserves zero props for motoring past therapy

For what its worth, the St Louis Dispatch article says the intersection wasn’t closed by police at the time this happened. Not saying this changes the morality of what happened but a lot of people are bringing up the street being closed so worth noting the distinction.

From the St Louis Dispatch article:

For what its worth, the street wasn’t blocked off at the time he was there.

I don’t think its beyond the pale to ask that spoilers for future, never-before released episodes of a massively popular show not be included in the headline of an article.

It is predictable that this ends up happening, but it was by no means a settled question and there was literally debate on this very website about…

I think you’re equating “racism” with “explicit beliefs or actions”. Implicit racism borne from being acculturated in a racist society is something that all white/privileged individuals have and is unavoidable. This has been a pretty dominant line of reasoning among social justice advocates.

I actually lately have…

They say if you cut open a Root and count the number of songs inside you can tell their age.
