“If you see something, say something!” - The US Govt in regards to any brown person in an airport

“If you see something, shut the fuck up and die quietly” - the US Govt in regards to its own lies and failed policy

And we owe them nothing :)

So if, say, a market emerged full of single individuals selling a licensed piece of intellectual property a company refused to provide in order to gouge prices, the only obligation that market would have is for each individual to respond to DMCA take-down notices.

So if the market continues…

“someone I love”

You take me for some kind of bourgie? I don’t know any fancy-class-folk, everyone I know works for a living.

“Stealing”

Nintendo can sell the figures if they want. People would prefer figures over cards.

They do not want to make them and a market has arose to meet demand.

The potential benefit of a meme like “men are trash” is to spark a conversation about why, exactly, someone might say that. To highlight the idea that many, many men are trash, that masculine culture and virtues are largely trash, and that the society that upholds the power structure where men are dominant is trash.

Yeah, different things get different allowances. It’s equit.

When you have less social power, your words have less social impact.

your “we can because” rebuttal entirely ignores the reality that - yes, some people are treated differently right now. It would be reasonable if we already lived in an egalitarian world. We don’t. Stop holding the oppressed and marginalized to the highest standard simply because their principles involve “not being…

and my answer was :

I read what you think - and I provided a counter-argument.

Your argument is based in semantics, not the reality of power structures.

You talk about your lofty principles, but they’re pretty shaky when it comes to challenging oppressive systems. You’re all about the oppressed until they say something sort of kinda a…

the legal allowance of produce from Hawaii is zero

The quick answer, is yes, duh.

Oooof, your personal attacks are really hurting my ideological feelings. Do you have a spare “I’m With HER” sticker? I’ve had a complete change of principles, I’ve decided to be a liberal now.

How is defending someone’s statement“men is trash” an act that is “self-interested”?

I am a man. Under your logic, I should be…

I sure hope it’s anti-liberal. I did want it to be productive, after all. I’m certainly not this type of, or otherwise, liberal.

It’s astounding that the contextual implications of certain statements regarding certain groups actually need to be explained to someone whose entire argument is semantic/linguistic.

The…

That’s garbage logic, though. It’s semantic and ignores the actual issues at hand.

It’s like Henry Kissinger screaming at a Cambodian child for calling him ugly. Technically he has a point, we should encourage loving behavior but...the dude dropped bombs on their country relentlessly. I think he can have the thick…

You’re right. They don’t. They’re the privilidged class in society who make everyone else do the shit-eating.

That’s sort of the point, mate.

A bad movie? Who the fuck are you? Apparently a bad critic. I don’t know why I keep reading your articles... Have you noticed you take a shit on the subject matter in the majority of your dribble? Why don’t you just post about all the shit you hate in one go? Clearly you do not belong at io9, you should have been…

You must be real fun at parties

I haven’t seen anyone say they have “the right” to the mod. People are complaining, sure. Free country and all that.

If people want to complain and others want to not use that mod because of the insertion of a political position, that’s their prerogative.

That’s certainly debatable. The people who do most of the work to create games - the vast, vast, majority of the work - i.e., hourly workers - are not at all affected by piracy. Only the profit margin of corporations - who, I think we can all agree, are not people - are impacted and not even in a demonstrably…

Sean Spicer is my favorite character to come out of this sitcom-made-reality.

Literally hiding in the bushes until they turn the lights off.

The man is like a The Onion article brought to life by the ghost of an angry woodchuck
