Seriously, this needs to be focused on more. Its not just how the cop acted in the part leading up to the shooting, its how he acted from the beginning of this exchange.

There is no way he could have pulled a gun from that position, brought it around to the front of his body, aimed it, and shot the officer before the officer shot him. There is no rational defense for the officer’s reaction.

My Totally Written While Sober Theory:

We need to disburse with this idea that “poly” is rule-based membership in a social group, and the implied idea that it is something that has to be earned. Poly is a characteristic of the person, same as being non-monogamous or monogamous. If someone states they are poly, then they are poly. They don’t have to get the…

You can’t complain about him arguing semantics when you’re the one who begun an argument predicated on arguing about semantics.

The solution for modern “serfdom” is not the same as the solution for legally enforced serfdom, the original meaning of the word. That is Queen’s sole point in this silly fight with you as…

TAKEMI IS BEST GIRL.

Are you seriously comparing someone not wanting their sex tape published without their consent to someone not wanting their history of committing sexual assault being released?

Yes, I know Peter Thiel wasn’t worried about Hogan’s privacy, but its still a very disingenuous comparison to make.

Everyone here has either…

Yep, that’s pretty much what I said.

Hey, slightly off-topic, but does anyone have an idea of the time-frame for Google Pixel 2 being sold on Amazon? I know nothing about smartphone markets.

Yeah, but then you wouldn’t be paying homage to the difficulty aspect. If the difficulty aspect is part of the series’ history, and that in particular is what you wanted to pay attention to at the difficulty selection screen, what would be an inclusionary way to do that?

This is a fair opinion.

I feel Force Majeure, as much as I loved it, is an example of how an indie movie with all the requisite “restrained” sensibilities can still end up lacking in subtlety and becoming redundant once its made its point. I liked the way the ending added a last minute complication to its message, but got bored up until…

Here, here! I was rolling my eyes so hard back when Kotaku commentators were trying to claim the game wasn’t making any kind of political commentary and that the “so much for the tolerant left” line from the NPCs wasn’t mean to be a reference to current political issues.

Screw that, embrace the message. Embrace the…

Yeah I would love to see some attention placed on that game. The premise is really interesting and I’m curious how good it turns out.

Sorry, but Sexy Northern Queen is legit awesome.

Again, whether or not she should have cut him out of her life at that point has nothing to do with whether or not she was assaulted. For that matter, in order for her to have needed to cut him out of her life, you would have to believe he acted inappropriately in the first place...which means you believe her after all…

Pro Tip: If a woman who has a boyfriend is entering the shower of her hotel room because she is vomiting, that’s not a sign that she wants sexy time or is able to consent to sexy time.

You can’t claim to be not believing either story if you’re proceeding on an assumption that only comes from his side of the story (i.e. that she was with him for career reasons and that she was toxic/manipulative).

I don’t disagree about toxic people. Again though, it doesn’t have anything to do with judging the truth…

The “she/he should have done X” armchair analysis is not a reason to discount anyone’s claim of a sexual assault and is entirely exogenous to the truth of their claim. People have already explained time and time again why people don’t necessarily automatically break things off with an abuser/assaulter and whether or…

(Apologies in advance, I didn’t add as much polish to this comment as I normally do):

I’m in a relationship that has lasted for the past few years and probably will last for the rest of my life. I also realize this guy has proven himself to be a “few websites short of full MRA”, as one comment put it. However, I admit…
