The update with clarification makes a lot of sense and I don’t know why there was any confusion to begin with.

Nooooo! The show is excellent! The first season was good, and the second season has been excellent. The cast is amazing, it’s easily one of the most diverse sitcoms on television, and it’s even just one of the best looking comedies right now. Ugh.

Meh, who cares? Indiana Jones is a pastiche of adventure serials anyway. To the crowd it was aimed at (and the crowd that made it), it was original only in its details. At this point, I couldn’t care less if they keep making movies with the Indiana Jones character specifically or if they make a carbon copy with the…

Fuck this. There are WAY too many excellent musicians out there to not have to waste your time supporting the bigoted pieces of shit like Morrissey. 

I dunno, I think Chris Benoit is still the WWE’s darkest hour.

As others are pointing out, it never went away. One of my employees got a form of the plague called tularemia, which is spread by rodents like rabbits and squirrels. She got it after being bitten by a squirrel she was trying to help. Her finger nearly had to be amputated, and it still caused some permanent scarring in…

Have you ever worked for a multi-million dollar company before? They nickel and dime everything, so I can absolutely see them scoffing at $10,000. I doubt Uniqlo conspired to never pay out the money, but after the disqualification, I bet they seized on the opportunity to saved the money.

I don’t Liquid-X is talking about whether or not the winner should have been disqualified. I think they’re saying it’s shady that Uniqlo didn’t just award the prize to someone else who did follow the rules. There seems to be no reason to just cancel the prize entirely.

Dude, did you make an account to tell this story? Just basing that on your username being “dogbar.”

If so, thank you for your service, because that is the perfect analogy.

Man, this is a major nostalgia bomb. I only intended to watch a bit of the video to see it in motion. Next thing I know, the video’s over and I’m looking for my old Rogue Squadron games.

Whatever happened to Factor 5? Rogue Squadron and Rogue Leader are easily two of the best Star Wars games, if not best air/space…

I think the Vespa is more a mod thing, less a ska thing.

Also, we haven’t established this, is de Blasio professing love for ALL ska? Or do his tastes reside primarily in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd wave ska?

White men always have the most fun with bad, mostly white content. AVClub really needs to branch out with the kinds of people who write these. Ugh.

Those two really deserve each other. They’re both insufferable white people who think they’re progressive but don’t act like it. Johansson is WAY more attractive than Jost is, though, so I don’t get.

In that photo, Elon Musk absolutely looks like he’s yelled the n-word at a stranger through an XBox headset.

That’s true, but historical activism has shown that the order things typically go in is citizen action first, often for a long period of time, and then legislation responding to the change in public opinion. Legislation far too commonly is reactive, and only when it’s politically expedient to do so. I hope California…

Do you really think that, unless we can fix everything at once, we shouldn’t try to fix anything at all? But then your comment veers into objectively ranking the ills of the world, and then individually prioritizing them?

It sounds like you’re just justifying your own nihilism here, buddy.

You’re not super familiar with boycotts, are you?

That’s a good point. I’m aware the LoL community is not exactly super hype about fair labor practices and all that, but you’re right that the pro gamers themselves have a lot of sway. But I’m assuming a lot of them also have restrictive contracts with their sponsors that limit what kind of stance they can take. But…

They could just lay off all of the people who walked out, though, and go hire new people. They won’t, though, because that makes them look bad, and it would drastically affect the quality of their product. If LoL players boycotted the game as an organized protest with a clearly stated goal (much like the walk out),…

You know what would REALLY help? If players showed some solidarity with the people who make the games they love and stopped playing League of Legends until Riot gets their act together. They’re sitting on disgusting amounts of eSports money that they’ve made off of their mistreated and exploited workers.
