This is a horrible argument. You really believe that people were under the impression, until recently, that football is a “safe” sport for athletes to play? Give me a break. There’s a pretty obvious double-standard here, even if few want to admit it.

I’m not a conservative. Only a shortsighted asshole such as yourself would fall victim to the belief that it’s left-wing to want people punished for the things they say.

It really is a sign of psychological weakness when someone has every single bit of power to dictate to what extent they remain in a given situation, and they remain in it even though it causes them massive psychological distress. Being harassed on Twitter is not the same thing as living in an abusive home, or being…

The censorious assholes who are crying loudest about Crowder won’t be happy until the extent of social media innovation is, “Hey dudes! Look! We’re banning [some person/group] from our platform(s)! Great stuff, right?” This is the logical endpoint of outrage from Extremely Online people and “cancel culture” in general.

The entire concept of “stream sniping” is so utterly, confoundingly stupid, and always has been. That game studios and streaming platforms will bend over backwards to punish them only illustrates what PR whores they are.

Please let Ni No Kuni come out on PC.

This is a self-serving argument. Google doesn’t want to be cut off from a huge source of revenue overseas. That’s what this is really about.

It is. They’ll never win their legal battles, so they’re left to shout fruitlessly about it on social media, like dummies.

There are plenty of jobs out there that are neither “dream jobs” nor jobs that make you want to kill yourself every Monday morning. A lot of people just place no value whatsoever on their happiness, so they’ll readily accept higher pay for feeling like absolute shit week-in and week-out, for literal decades of their…

How is this different from any other situation online? The bigger a community becomes, the harder it becomes to run it. Streamers with thousands and thousands of followers need to hire (as in, fucking pay) people to be admins for them, and to handle this shit. Just tossing out some vague plea for Twitch to “do better”…

I already think that death should be the punishment for being caught riding an e-scooter around town. Is there something worse than death for this?

But it’s funny to go after her looks, so that’s what we’re going to do, wokescold.

They exist and continue to exist because some people think autonomous cars will arrive before Uber’s bankruptcy.

Reread, then. My point is that it’s chilling to see people, particularly those in the media, effectively arguing that a corporation should shut down speech that is derisive toward politicians, with little to no added insight about the deeper ramifications of that request.

Well, we should be free to believe obvious lies if we want. But that’s not really the point I’m making, and you know it. Reread if you’re unconvinced. If rereading doesn’t help, then you must just have a really weird motivation to read past my argument.

Or we could stop appealing to corporations to manage that decision-making process for us.

“Hey, there are these really nice people who want to move here. They are hard-working, diligent, kind, and just want a safe place to raise their families.”

Sublime are, and always were, really bad. The notion that Lana Del Rey can make them seem hip and relevant says more about how stupid poptimism has made us (thinking of people like her as tastemakers) and very little about Sublime’s quality as an influence. Unlike Nirvana, who had credibility and a cemented legacy…

I agree. I’m not arguing that it wasn’t medically necessary for him to stay that long. I just don’t think that a long hospital stay is, generally speaking, evidence of better care. I work in healthcare, and actually one of the biggest pushes these days is toward correctly assessing when people can be properly cared…

While your point is well-taken, it’s important not to go overboard here and assume that the best policy is always to keep people in the hospital for as long as possible during treatment. It’s a good thing, generally speaking, to get people out of hospital care, and back home, as soon as we can (in no small part…
