I very rarely side with the “now so you’re just being silly” side on this issue... but yeah, that piece might be pushing things a bit too far.

I’d like to see that ethos applied to, say, Amos n’ Andy. (Well, actually, I wouldn’t.)

If you’re buying a $3500 television why do you give a shit about ports and sound? You should be using it with an AVR and surround sound system, that is where you want your HDMI ports.

No and no.

It’s a slippery slope though. Once you allow the government to govern speech, it will seek to govern more and more of it. It’s very dangerous, what Germany is doing. You should be angry about it and very afraid that other governments will like the idea.

Free speech without hate speech is not free speech. For example, if someone were to rip on me for this comment. From my perspective, that would be hate speech, and if we start taking legal precedent against hate speech. Your freedom of speech would be impacted.

She had a lot to drink, and saw people who were further along in their careers than her, and decided this was an easier way to move up the ladder. Only months/years afterwards did she realize she made a “mistake” - a consensual, multiple-times mistake.

So guy introduces himself as a douche, makes sexual advances of a disturbing and offensive nature, but she still stays with him and has consensual sex with him. I am absolutely not blaming her for what happened, but I don’t understand her thinking or choices that lead her to that incident either. Is it common for…

This is really the BLUF of the article - “As long as you have one of those Android phones and you’re in range of a Gigabit LTE signal it should work automatically.” Title is misleading, like you’re going to tell me how to/enable gigabit but really I just need to buy a new phone.

So this doesn’t tell you how to “get gigabit LTE on your Android phone.” It tells you which devices to buy if you want to have access to it.

Nowhere in this article does it say “how” to actually get it. It says how to get “less than 1gbps” from a carrier. SSDD. The 4g connection is specced at 1Gbit/s for walking and stationary and 100Mbit/s for high speed travelling endpoints. Just more marketing schmucks being marketing schmucks.

That specific book didn’t sell well because it wasn’t good. Look at the comment section. No one is mourning that specific book.

People didn’t support it because the book was bad. This is a mercy-killing. If there was a few other comics with queer female lead, we wouldn’t even hear about it.

Another case of people getting the pitchforks out for diversity and then not supporting it.

The article implies that both comics were not advertised or marketed to the same degree as titles featuring white, male, cis, etc. characters.

This. Sorry to say, but facts are facts. You can write an amazing story, but if no one’s buying it, you’re losing money putting it out.

If the book doesn’t sell then it’ll get cancelled. Marvel isn’t a charity and profit margins in the comics industry are razor thin. It can’t afford to publish books if nobody buys them regardless of the sexuality of its characters

“Mass Unfollowing” is a gross exaggeration lol

National parks =/= National Monument

You do understand that most of the National Parks in question have only been National Parks for some six months?
