We are absolutely going to blow this election. 

This is an extremely fucking dumb thing for me to know and argue, but Epic insists that no one ever dies in Fortnite. “Elimination” is always the word used instead of “kill,” and when you run out of health a robot appears above your head that teleports you good as new back to the waiting island for another go around,…

No I think Rudolph Valentino was the name one of the hobbits in those Lord of the Rings movies.

Who? 

Is there a single person at the NYT who isn’t a garbage human/dumb as rocks/both anymore? 

That might be true, but it’s never a bad idea to get that put into a union contract to ensure it stays that way. 

The answer to both these questions is greed.

To further this point, I think it was Brie Larson who has said that when she filmed one of her first scenes for Endgame, literally everything except her line was redacted in the script she got. 

To your last point, I’m not sure if the timing of their resignations was his idea, but yes he did basically kill the site by taking the top editors from both the pop culture and sports verticals with him (although I don’t think ESPN was going to keep the site going regardless).  

On the contrary, if you market your game as vastly open with an attitude of “if you can see it, you can get to it” and no required order of quests, you should probably plan contingencies to make people aware of important mechanics if they want to wander off. 

Even if you like your workplace, it’s never a bad idea to unionize, even if it’s only to make sure the things you like contractually stay that way. 

Agreed, they are a scary bunch when they get angry. Again, my apologies for scaring you with my comment!

Ah shit, I realize now I definitely misread this as you saying Swift is afraid of her own fans. My sincere apologies! 

a musical artist I have no negative opinion of whatsoever for reasons that certainly do not include being deathly afraid of her fans,

I’m not upset about it. Just explaining to them why they got that reaction. 

I kinda assumed as much when the story broke, but it seems from the Ringer article the foot thing isn’t Brown’s fault and instead is pretty blatant negligence from whoever was running his therapy. 

The majority of the commentariat of AV and the rest of GMG is in the mid-40s to early 50s range age wise. I have gotten the same responses before (only a couple year older than you are) 

No well-adjusted person becomes a billionaire. The whole point for them is the accumulation of wealth and power because they’re sociopaths. 

The family from Get Out, basically. 

Detroit has always been so obsessed with being “the Motor City” that it’s never invested in public transportation because they’re a bunch of stupid idiots.
