Regarding the legality? The argument by Epic is that this is more about antitrust laws, that Apple has such a large portion of the market and absolute control over everything that happens on their devices that it’s allowed them to use one monopoly (that iOS is the only operating system allowed on iPhones and iPads) to…

“Sawayama tells Vice that she could have given up her Japanese passport to qualify for the ceremonies but chose not to.”

Because “listen to women” means “every woman should be unequivocally believed without qualification”?

In all honesty what are we supposed to do when one 20+ year old allegation that can’t be substantially verified is used to discredit the likely nominee of the D primary?

Nearly 100 people have died from COVID-19 in just one nursing home in my city. Abortion rights have been gutted. The courts are fucked for generations. The deficit is staggering. The environment is ruined. Our international reputation is in tatters. Nazis with tiki torches are very fine people. Racists are emboldened.…

$365 million in PPP loans, out of a total pot of $349 billion.

Dude, Jobst’s video is literally the centerpiece of the article. There’s nothing stopping people from watching it especially since there’s plenty in the video not fully discussed in the article. News sites don’t thrive on clicks, they survive on it (even Kotaku). Its a gaming site, not the front page of the New York…

I enjoyed the article. There is no need to be a dick.

“ members said they could comfortably walk around braless in a robe after a shower”

Yep, those are all sequels and/or side stories then. Though I was pretty sure Enemy Within required the base game to play. Are you sure it doesn’t?

I have a hard time crying for the restaurants.  For decades, their business model was based on being as exploitative of employees as they possibly could be.  It is rare that one even offers regular hours.  The gig economy sucks, but if you are going to work for no benefits and no chance of promotion, you might as well…

It’s a little high, but not completely out of line.

>> As for canceling nonrefundable tickets purchased through third-parties, well, there’s no easy answer. Over on Reddit, u/1exp purchased five tickets costing $5,000 via Travelocity, only to discover he’d booked the wrong dates;

Which part of “nonrefundable” did he not understand? 

I was looking for a one-way international flight within ~3 weeks, leaving right after New Year’s. If you ever tried to book one-way international, you know it can be more expensive than a return ticket. The cheapest flight I found for my dates on airline websites was ~$1.8k. I was able to find the same itinerary using…

Unable to get refunds on nonrefundable tickets? Mon dieu! What is this world coming to?

I really wish more games had some sort of middle ground between HARDCORE SRS GAMERZ ONLY PERMADEATH and ‘basically no consequences for human wave tactics’. Like, something where characters get injured if they get KOd in battle and they need to sit out X number of battles to heal, but I can bring them along to a battle…

If I know Steamers (their preferred nomenclature!) they’ll see the benefit of a diverse and competitive marketplace as ultimately benefitting both developers and gamers alike, and not fixate on the immediate and ultimately inconsequential inconvenience of having to click slightly to the left and opening a separate,…

“They are also not fully independent contractors because independent contractors, by their status, can determine their own price for their labor.”

I don’t remember any CCG, physical or digital, ever working like this.

Renters may be paying more in property taxes (through their rents) than homeowners. In the state I live in, a primary residence is taxed at a much lower rate than a second home or income property.
