He’s not trolling as best I can tell.  He’s a guy who sincerely believes are that stuff he’s babbling on about and him sharing it isn’t harming a soul.  

Some people made the argument that Spears should be free by arguing some permutation of “Ackshually Britney would have her shit together if she didn’t have her dad and the 2003 paparazzi in her life”. Others thought (myself included) that emotionally unstable people who aren’t a danger to others deserve a high degree…

I mean look the way this project is proof of the impact of years of low interest rates in the tech space leading to misplaced spending and overhiring in the wrong areas.

I’m sure this is a great game, I really am. I enjoyed the first one.

Oh Mikey bless your heart, the average use case for porn isn’t a scene out of Little Children.

Legit line of inquiry here ...

I doubt it. Most net nannies use actively maintained lists and also screenshots of screen activity that are analyzed.

IIRC He installed a linux partition to work around it to duck the registry issue. Doing that isn’t the most sophisticated thing in the world but it requires a bit of knowledge (or help which I doubt Duggar had).

Meh, unless he or his son are very good at computers then he’s not monitoring much of anything spicy. In addition to sending browser history reports, Covenant Eyes is a full blown net nanny that is as actively maintained as any of them are. It’s a nasty little bugger. If you try to delete it without the proper admin…

At first I was like Vox not practicing it’s same brand of unrelenting sanctimonious doomerism? but then I saw the byline was Dylan Matthews.

Well yeah of course but it makes for a much better plot to a dystopian Sci-Fi game to pretend otherwise.

Yes, AI absolutely will be a factor in games development, as it becomes inextricably woven into the tools used to make games—no matter how negative that may be—because: capitalism.

This is not about a mistrial, as that’s really hard to “force” in terms of getting a judge angry enough to do something stupid. Judges are allowed to display plenty of emotion and anger towards anyone disrupting their courtroom.

Well, look, I’m not shocked either of us got dismissed. I gave a nice and gilded, but still clear version of “calm down you fucking weirdo” whereas you on the other hand are over here saying the quiet part loud in terms of being willing to employ extralegal means to stop Trump, something I would think that someone…

Jezebel has always been a bit ... inconsistent ... with who they insist should have the right to control any interpretation of their life vs. not.  

Reposting this here as a response to I Miss Splinter:

It’s the ultimate proof that the Constitution is ultimately meaningless. “We can’t follow what’s clearly stated in the Constitution because it’s politically dangerous.” Ignoring legal realities for political reasons means that the country is doomed.

The judge, quite correctly, noted that this is exactly what Trump wants and is clearly trying not to give it to him.

Is it the 10 year olds of today who are going to murder you or the people who have been playing it since they were 10 years old who will murder you?

The problem with Kieran Culkin is that his role as Roman was just such a perfect fit for everything about him, his whole look plus the fact that he’s the baby brother of a troubled Hollywood child star, that I feel a completely irrational but almost overpowering urge to want to call CPS and say that there’s an…
