I’ve been working with Cecilia on this story since Thursday, when I warned her that things would likely blow up over the weekend and that she might have to work Saturday and Sunday. Which she of course agreed to do immediately, because she is a trooper. Her hard work is the reason that this story is more thorough than…

I completely agree they’re the same thing. But that doesn’t mean that loot boxes aren’t gambling, rather it means that CCG packs are.

I feel like this is a bad example of the whole “over sensitive” thing. The ESRB’s whole point is to help parents choose what games are right for their kids age group. The poster was deemed not okay for the age group so it was moved to T, the game devs didn’t like that so they removed the poster and it was moved back…

If they gave it another year before release, I wonder how it would have been received. The incremental improvements were tremendous.

Yet it took more than a week of strident and widespread citizen reporting and action to get, what, three arrests of the violent, murderous Nazis in Charlottesville?

About?

I’m still in disbelief that we’re apparently issuing governmental policy via 140 characters on a third-party private service.

I mention elsewhere but — we also forget that

Again, all of this polling happens in a world where the Republicans never focussed their hate-messaging on Bernie. Give it up. He’s done. You want a progressive message? Great! So do I. But I’m not taking a ride with a guy who didn’t win and couldn’t get his followers in New York to actually register as…

“The Democrats can’t replicate Obama’s campaign success without embracing candidates who reflect the experiences of voters and can advocate for common sense solutions”

counter-argument: hillary is a bad candidate. Only winning the popular vote by 3 mil and losing the electoral college outright to Donald Fucking Trump and his band of bumbling rejects and racist assclowns means you are a bad candidate.

That map, because it’s not actually based on population, is completely pointless, since large swathes of red in the middle are basically empty, with maybe a couple thousand people per county. This map gives you a much better sense of how that balance actually works; county-by-county, with height of the county showing…

To be fair, I think it was a bit of both. Hubris was part of the problem, but I think you’d have a hard time arguing that Clinton was a strong candidate. Unfortunately, she had a lot of baggage (much of which was completely fabricated), was extremely unlikeable and lacked a strong message. She also lacked the ability…

I didn’t mention Hillary Clinton once in my comments. In fact, though I did support Sanders in the primary I worked my ass off to get her elected. But we lost and I’m not interested in 2016. I’m talking about the Democrats lack of strategy moving forward. Also I didn’t argue in favor of Obama’s everyman appeal, I just…

No, the problem is the Democratic establishment is a bunch of morons. If the Clinton team couldn’t tell they might just possibly have an issue in Wisconsin when they ignored the state for the entirety of the general campaign, or Michigan, when Debbie Dingell was all but screaming to the DNC that things were going…

No offense, but I think we should be past the whole “this isn’t just like the comics I’m used to” phase of superhero movie consumption. Do you honestly care that her name isn’t specifically Mary Jane? Do you really want to see that same old familiar story carried over into another film series?

Yup!

Sounds like someone locked their knees.

Her name was Sergeant Butterscotch and she was rewarded with a promotion to Staff Sergeant and an extra portion of apples at each meal.

BF1 is a game full of prototype weapons, very low production weapons, and weapons that were basically discarded due to unreliability.
