It’s not watering down. They broke the law for bribing people to abuse their positions of power. That’s illegal in this context and so many others.

I think the only ones who’d be truly disappointed in a Bernie presidency will be his dipshit followers who think he’s any different from the rest.

As others have pointed out, the presence of legacy students is not a surprise to anybody. What is fairly surprising is that kids were having their SATs taken for them, having their heads photoshopped onto other people’s bodies to “prove” participation in various school athletics programs, etc. I really hate how people…

And everybody else. Not sure why Harris, Warren, Klobuchar, Booker, and Gillibrand should be off the hook here.

And he’s going to be your president, and you’re going to like it.

I mean, I understand artistic integrity but they could easily be millionaires by now. No one deserves cancer and I hope that they get the money they need and survive, but still kind of a fuck up on their part?

What is this crap. You’re entutled to your opinion and beliefs but I come to Jalopnik to get information on cars. Not pro union advertising.

No child should be drinking kombucha, whether it has alcohol in it or not. Jesus fucking Christ, people. Stop turning your kids into horrible, nerdy, non-kid entities.

And?

People in general don’t actually give a shit about consistency. They care about the application of power. The quicker we learn this, the less time we can spend fruitlessly fixating on these sorts of “gotchas” which yield exactly zero traction for us. Pointing out hypocrisy is not a viable political strategy.

Yes, you are letting one anecdote rule your thoughts. I work in healthcare, and most of the people I run into with nicotine patches and other meds on their charts designed to help them stop smoking still, invariably, report that they are everyday smokers when I ask them the canned pre-exam questions.

It would be too costly, and it would make an absolutely horrible Switch game.

Mapping commands and shortcuts to buttons and the touchscreen wouldn’t be enough to get it working right for a console?

Two reasons why this wouldn’t work:

Like, this is going to turn into a “THIS IS WHY WE NEED SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE”-type article but honestly, the people who need single payer health care are not guys like these that could’ve had the money they needed and/or worked for a company that would provide 100% healthcare like an Ubisoft or Activision or…

It’s highly doubtful that this development only began in the relatively few weeks since the Epic Store was announced, but whatever you need to do to convince yourself that your dream of The Invisible Hand turning Steam into a platform perfectly tailored to your sensibilities is real, I guess.

Review bombers won’t have as much power to affect games’ standing with the Steam algorithm, but this could also just encourage review bombers to find other ways to evolve their tactics and get through what sounds like some still worryingly large loopholes. Time will tell.

Omar came out on top, though, so it wasn’t even a political blunder. The people on the left side of the aisle who tried to fuck with her were forced to back down, and the right-wing Fox News chuds who fuck with her now are only raising her profile and making her more credible, just like AOC. Not sure how this even…

Everything you wrote here is 100% on-point. Which is why studios/publishers should actually sack up and leave these communities behind when shit gets bad. I don’t want to hear about how sad it makes the devs feel when people are mean to them online. I don’t really give a shit. They have the ability to walk away, and…

Then stop engaging “the community”! Jesus Christ. We’re in this absurd situation where studios and publishers love community engagement when everyone’s a fanboy and it all works in their favor, but can’t handle it when people aren’t in their corner, and regret paying the better part of $100 into the shit they hyped…
