So I'm just curious, but what if it had been the other way around, and it was a 'nice gal' trying to hit up a guy that clearly was getting creeped out? I somehow doubt the blow-up-in-person's-face-let-it-show-up-on-Kotaku approach would've worked very well for the comments section.

I love the idea of a shipping container home. I really like this design by Adam Kalkin:

this is a great point. i think Vaer is a prop for some business or a troll. i have been reading Vaer's posts and he defends the isps, then takes some high road morality, as though he is offended by people's pushback towards this racketeering.

Keep telling yourself that. I'd be happy to cite some sources, but you're going to say "Well..these aren't credible" because you've chosen to not accept reality. The mandatory 24-hour check in was a real thing, nothing misrepresented or misquoted about that. The used-game DRM was also a real thing. Again, nothing…

The van was warning you, run away from north carolina!

That really sucks. But is this what charity is nowadays? They aren't homeless, they aren't starving, they aren't sick.. they just lost their material possessions..

People should avoid Bakersfield in general. Just sayin'.

taking a life, no matter whose life it is, should have consequences for the person who took it. Life is endlessly precious. While it's unfair that these people suffer PTSD for simply following orders, you can't make killing easier for them. If ending a life stops having meaning for people then we become a society…

WOPR: Strange game. The only way to win is not to play.

There seems to be a disconnect with these masks. The same people who wear these face masks don't wear anti-pollution face masks when they go outside where the air quality is terrible. Then again, people do crazy things out of fear for radiation. When the Fukushima incident happened in Japan, many Chinese, myself…

I'm assuming Martin lost his teeth previously when he got mad at Superman and tried to bite off his penis.

No Wii U sales?

But not every mentally ill person commits violent acts.

yeah sad fact is, when i lived down in Florida I new plenty of "nice" good southern folk myself. But there was no way I was going to let them know i didn't have the same beliefs as them. Not with the way many of them talked in the brake room.

Yeah, as soon as his "White Privilege" checks start arriving in the mail this should all be cleared up. Of course his mother’s whiteness didn’t keep her property from being confiscated. Oh, yeah and he was arrested. Wait! I know what might be the problem, the authorities have not realized he is white yet! That…

You make a statement that can be taken as racist and start with no offense as if it makes it all right.. Maybe the klan should start there rally's with hey everyone NO OFFENSE

I studied accounting and I think banks are very sketchy about their business practices.

Unfortunately they do it all the time for all kinds of reasons. They're thieves.

Thank you for posting this. I was very surprised at the positive response to this article, which ignores all the things you said, all of which are vastly more important than any strategic depth it may or may not have.
