It sucks that they were lobbied by private interest groups to promote a lifestyle that’s beneficial to the interest groups’ bottom line rather than in the national health interest.

Serious question: is it possible to ingest enough cocaine from kissing someone that it would cause a positive result on a drug test? That seems...really implausible.

The problem at the heart of those apparati being leveraged as a solution is that they are political organs and therefore susceptible to lobbying efforts. The USDA was pitching a high-carb, low-fat diet for a long time because grain manufacturers and farmer lobbying groups wanted to boost their sales. Now we know that…

I wish the government would tell us what to feed our kids. Obesity has become such a strain on the health system that it’s literally bankrupting average Americans. If these easily preventable diseases suddenly had their incidence rate halved, insurance premia would fall overnight.

Lovechild between Buscemi and Donald Trump, Jr.

It’s precisely this that pisses me off about politics and politicking: willfully blind supporters are willing to ascribe reason to statements that are unreasonable. If we’re going to be voting based on what we think a given candidate might do, then ultimately the candidates themselves are empty vessels and we should…

Update or no, my first thought was Dan Snyder. Mostly because I ascribe almost everything bad about the NFL to Dan Snyder.

Good Christ, yes...this. I’ve played a handful of games and it’s like people don’t understand that they are even able to pick up the blue ones. It’s especially infuriating because some of the matches I’ve played have been pretty sweaty. Like, 148-150 sweaty.

Maybe I just have a Destiny addled brain, but their press copy for New World drops a “destiny” descriptor in there, while their second game is literally called Crucible. Are they aiming at bisecting and taking over those two player bases from Destiny? I mean, I know that generally there’s a wide spread of games that…

151 is a helluva drink.

At a certain point, all labels are useless. We’ve gotten to the point that genres and subgeneres have been bifurcated so many times that anything could be categorized as anything else. That being said, country music is awful.

I feel like there are a number of ways to deal with that issue, literarily speaking. Just off the top of my head, the Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters are the proto-classes that evolved into something more specific, as they gained Light and subsequently had greater access to the mystical knowledge and disciplines that…

Yep. Dude’s a troll.

Well, it’s definitely the individual rank and file officers shooting people and doing everything they can to obscure and obstruct the flow of information about their behavior. The union bosses are the ones that are getting defensive in media and they’re the ones issuing absurd statements about cars overheating, but it…

Not gonna play with you, troll.

I asked a question, I didn’t make an assertion. You can’t “prove” a question, you can only answer it. The intellect on you is...astounding.

Is this you?

That’s like half the people on the Destiny subreddit. And at least half the people that read Destiny articles on Kotaku.

Well that was unnecessary. You act like I just sexually harassed your mother. 

I feel like it’s controversial because it made a lot of promises prior to its initial release and then it sorely disappointed. The storyline felt incomplete and people felt hoodwinked into buying a game that was only half-baked. That’s when a good portion of the early player base just up and left to play something…
