I'm not particularly comfortable with it either. I tend not to play games where the things I am killing are human. However, a couple of my favorite game series aren't about killing or dying.

Sounds a lot like 999 and (especially) Virtue's Last Reward.

People die who otherwise would not during police chases. There are several departments who have decided not to chase at high speeds because of this very issue, and I absolutely can give police some of the blame for handling matters in a way that kills more people when there is a viable alternative out there.

I was part of that club for a while. I don't think we ever spotted another Asian guy/ white lady couple.

Don't, because the gas in the soda and the extra air swallowed from the straw will give you monster farts. True facts.

This sounds a lot like a better David Foster Wallace commencement speech, and I wonder if it wasn't a tad ripped off.

The "you are all going to die" thing is from a very awesome David Foster Wallace graduation speech, which I think this a little bit ripped off. His was more about the grinding tedium of every day life and not giving in to being a miserable little shit just because it's easier than feeling connected and empathetic. …

Yes, the cities are smaller compared to the rest of the population. You go out into the boonies in NY, they are exactly the same way. The demographics in Texas are trending away from that.

Yes, I know, a lot of offices are breaking labor law. It is a national shame that you, as a collection, have chosen to be irresponsible, unethical criminals. You are a leech. Employers have skewed labor laws really far in your favor, and you still can't make money without breaking them. So you're also a failure.

I've lived a lot of places, and don't see why Texas gets that much shit. Especially Austin. LA shares the same breathing air as Bakersfield. New York State isn't really all that progressive and cultured without New York City. There are just as many hicks if you leave the city in Texas as there are in most other…

I may call you a scumbag, but I am not a criminal and you are. Sorry about it.

And if I feel superior, it's because I am not currently breaking any laws.

Doesn't fucking matter, sweetie. If you are using them AT ALL in lieu of work a paid employee would do, you WILL lose a lawsuit. The 20% has to include the contact lists and research that you benefit from. You also MAY NOT derive any immediate advantage from the work that they do.

The research work IS ALSO potentially paid work which they are probably not supposed to do without being paid. You probably owe them minimum wage at least. Sorry about it.

OK. But they're breaking labor laws, and have no right to bitch about it if interns don't appreciate being sold an unpaid (and therefore educational) internship, and end up getting to be unpaid low level administrative staff. It's not a bad attitude to be unhappy being ripped off.

I am SO unhappy I won't get to play Ni No Kuni. SO unhappy.

If it's an unpaid internship, you aren't supposed to ask them to do basically anything a paid employee would do, or else you are violating labor laws. They can observe, they can take part in educational projects, but gopher stuff is a no-no.

Psst... if it was an unpaid internship, you probably are outside the law asking them to do it. You can only get around minimum wage requirements by not asking them to do any productive work the regular employees would do. You can ask them to do some educational work— but stuffing envelopes is not it. It needs to be…

Lol, if you don't like it, start a kickstarter.

She isn't coming off badly whatsoever.
