Kotaku Core exists.

that’s not how news works.

He’s been a “friend” since Logan Paul’s vine days... but usually used as the butt of a joke. Very much a “token” capacity, but my guess is he’s in on the “joke” or ok with being used this way....

The Cone of Silence! Damn, beat me to it.

First rule of any endeavor: know your audience. I’m a black dude and I know Ireland (I lived there a few years, and still have family there). The Irish keep it real like that. She profits off spon-con, which is advertising disguised as reviews - so she deserves mockery. “I’ll give you great coverage if you give me a…

There’s no reason a good faith request should “come back to bite” a person. She asked if they were interested in a mutually beneficial agreement, all they had to do was say no. They are being utter assholes (two white dudes, how shocking) about it and are the ones looking like they need to learn a lesson about this.

But, as a 49-year-old, you know NEVER to put anything in writing that could come back to bite you - especially with the Internet. She should have telephoned and made her pitch, whereupon White Moose management would have laughed in her face and hung up on her, leaving her with private hurt feelings instead of public…

Sorry to fogey out, but this aspect of it being frictionlessly easy for people to have a public face and be exposed/expose themselves to the judgment and censure of millions when they have little life or work experience is one of the things I find problematic about the latter-day internet.

You’re coming off like a major asshole. They were told that they were receiving transvaginal physical therapy, which is a real treatment. The blame here is on the adults in positions of power who failed to ensure that proper protocols were followed, i.e. the physician wears gloves, a second person (a parent when the…

Obviously not, but I mean, it’s right there in Erin Maroney’s statement if you somehow needed clarification:

The quotes from her mother’s letter are absolutely fucking heartbreaking. Ugh.

Well, that... or elect him as the junior senator from Alabama

I agree give Nasser a chance to cut 10 years off of his sentence and name the names of US Gymnastics and others who knew this was going on. Take his sentence from 60 years to 50 years w/o parole

“A judge does not come to sentencing without having made their mind up.”

Of course they do, because judge’s have discretion in most sentences.

Victim impact statements don’t have a bearing on the sentence.

Google it. There is a fringe treatment that does involve digital penetration. This guy was saying he was doing that. Obviously, he was just using that and the fact that his victims trusted him as a doctor.

there’s always American History X

He obviously deserves the lust punishment...but you’d want to be able to last as long as the sloth

A shitton of people should go to jail over this but I’m having a hard time coming up with a fitting punishment for Nassar that doesn’t involve something out of Se7en.
