You know what would have been actually ethical here? Have an independent researcher or journalist with no commercial ties to the industry discuss it. Ideally without using cherry picked junk science - (side note: for the love of god people take, hell AUDIT or pass/fail, a research methods class if you want to do…

Because it takes way way waaaaay more than that to get your kids- even temporarily- taken out of the home in the US.

I do remember a neighbor kid, back when I was just out of school, was taken out for about a year because he was beaten with a heated extension cord. We called police all the time on them because the…

"Bad storytelling"? Everyone has differing standards about what makes a good story and what doesn't. But it's a story. A work of imagination that may, or may not, use facts or altered facts, to create a narrative and evoke an emotional arc.

Yeah it looks really good, and I'm hopeful about it and glad their research is going well so far. "So far" being the operative phrase there. I've heard enough rosy 10 year research projections to know what usually happens. But hey, there's always an exception.

Im not blaming her in any way

Oh they are. Pretty clear the pathetic little Gamergate Terror Tots have decided to pause playing with their toys/themselves long enough to crawl out of their toy-boxes and spam the comment section with bullshit comments. The only thing they're good at is proving how serious the misogyny problem is with the internet,…

"Why can't I be mad at both."

Pretty much for the same reason you don't fucking join NAMBLA in campaigning for affordable child healthcare. Because it'd be totally crystal clear that the reason NAMBLA was interested in an otherwise valuable effort was to make themselves look good & to facilitate their predation on children. It would, in other…

I don't want to nitpick or anything- I totally agree- I just think you might owe assholes a bit of an apology for comparing them to gamergate morons. I mean, assholes actually have a useful biological function... Ohhhh you meant.... OH right. That kind. Never mind.

Jesus Christ. The text-wall mansplainy cluelessness burns. Pretty much anyone who's ever had a stalker or who actually has an ounce of basic experience with how stalkers escalate, knows better. And even people without that experience, but with an ounce of human empathy and emotional intelligence, know that…

Do not minimize threats other people face that you are in no position to assess and that you have absolutely no risk exposure invested into. And yes, your comment does minimize the threat. It reads like all those arm-chair commandos talking shit about how if THEY were held by ISIS they'd totally fight back rather…

Please don't ever ever EVER say something this stupidly thoughtless and privileged ever again. Seriously, I'm sure you're a nice guy- but blithely mansplaining away safety concerns of targeted, threatened and doxxed people is beyond fucking offensive. Just don't.

Law enforcement can shut these little shits down very very quickly if they took time out of their "shoot the black kids" schedule to bother. Most of this stuff is illegal, a good amount of it counts as a felony, and no, they're nowhere near as anon as they think they are. The gaming industry, media, and actual decent…

It's yelp page is pretty hot, but you expect that from such a rad excursion tour.

It needs a mascot. ANY disaster becomes friendly and marketable with a good mascot right? Carl the Coalfire?

Although, I think Centralia is probably more dangerous right now. So long as you've got a Geiger counter and know where to not go, Chernobyl is relatively safe (for, you know, being a disaster site). But Centralia's underground fires *can* open up ground right under you with little or no warning. And gas pockets vent…

"shit, let me see if Daikatana really is as bad as people say"

I recommend using the line charge for tough-to-clear driveway ice. Much much faster and, when you're dealing with the fuel costs of one of these, every second count$. Another plus: The reactive armor is great for dealing with any insurgen- er I mean student, iceball antics.

A plow for an MRAP? Don't be silly. That's just stupid.

Bohemia is an awful studio for follow-through and finished, professional competence on projects. Their entire dev philosophy is to dream big, half-ass (or less) the implementation, then depend entirely on modders to - not just add content on top of the game- but fix core problems with bad code, design and AI. Not…
