Because the U.S. government consists mostly of old white guys, and clueless ones at that.

Why is it always an old white guy presenting some bill on something that they have little to no knowledge of? Women, technology, equality... you know, the basics.

Knee-jerk stupidity is America’s first and longest-running past time. In fact, the only thing ‘exceptional’ about a previous era of knee-jerk stupidity, McCarthyism, was that it was given a name instead of being acknowledged as the default state of Americans.

isn’t the entire purpose of Twitch to broadcast copyrighted material?

This campaign funding / lobbying aspect of U.S. politics has always baffled me here from overseas, and looks downright sleazy... also, when will media companies realize that snippets of their works in creative pop cultural content from people having fun on social media probably is better marketing for them than…

It’s not difficult to see why Tillis would push a proposal that benefits big companies in the entertainment industry to the detriment of regular people; The American Prospect points out that in the past couple years, Tillis’ campaign committee and leadership received donations totaling out to well over $100,000…

It seems that busisness/the law have just decided that with the internet the toothpaste is out of the tube and there is no way to get it back in.

Scalpers have pretty sophisticated tools in order to automate mass buying via websites. I’m hoping this prompts retailers to prevent this in the future.

It’s worth mentioning that the mechanic that can potentially induce a seizure is specifically based off a diagnostic tool meant to cause seizures. You also cannot avoid this mechanic; it’s required to complete the game.

You can’t make me play WoW! I know how this works, I have to invite it in.  Nice try though! 😏

I mean, most people aren’t in the market for a $1500 retail value card to begin with. Would be more mad if it were a bunch of 3070s.

thank you for sharing this. <3

I made an account specifically because of this post. Growing up as a queer man in the south I often had people treat me poorly that I hated. I hoped they spent eternity in pain for the pain they unjustly caused me. As I grew older and realized some of the behaviors I exhibited later in life I wanted to change or…

I was an absolute newbie who read almost nothing about the game. I didn’t understand that the firebombs were just a consumable and thought it was more the ability to use the firebombs that not every character class could do.
