eh, it was coming.  i paid more for street fighter 2 for the snes.

While this sale might be a bad idea it in no way shape or form would create a monopoly.

on one hand I 100% agree Monopolies should be avoided when possible, on the other hand Activision Blizzard has proven to be an extremely toxic company that has taken advantage of their employees in disgusting ways and Microsoft is the only company that has both the capital to buy them and the track record of actually…

Well, I have an uncle who works at Nintendo...so what he told me isn’t wild speculation! I also have an uncle who works at the NFL...so I already know who wins the Super Bowl.

Time for wild baseless speculation!

Totally. Making babies is free. Sounds like a smart way to save $27 to me.

Children are easily created by unskilled labor.

“You can keep her - we’ll make another one.”

Babies never have cash on them.

put them in cages and check them as freight.

Hard to blame them, little kids on planes....

The response I came here for.

Please don’t even get into amusement park ride design.

Yeah I’m 6'1" and hover around a 36" waistline and I’m still overweight (and working on it). Kinda insane <40" is being called “thin people”. I think the author of this article doesn’t want to admit that 40" is the average because the USA has an obesity issue.

Seriously, go find me a ride that DOESN’T have specific height, weight, etc. requirements to account for safety and just the simple fact of how the thing was designed.

100% agree that the health issues associated with obesity are a social problem. You’ve left out poverty, though. The “real bread” you mention is a lot more expensive than the less nutritious bread with added sugar.

Anything heavier, and Lakitu can’t lift up your cart and return it to the race track.

if they put a risk in their safety, yes

if they aren’t i am saying exactly that

Rides have requirements, height, weight, whatever.  Don’t put the target on your own back just because you think it’s unfair.  My kids have thought it unfair that they couldn’t ride a roller coaster because they weren’t tall enough, but there’s nothing to be done about it.
