Yeah, sports games and ‘popular’ titles were usually priced higher. There is a huge difference between CD and carts though, there is no disputing it. Some SNES/N64 titles touched $70/80 new (over $110 in today’s dollars). $60 has long been seen as a ceiling to game pricing. Too much more and people won’t buy it new.

The fey being that is SWINTON is the closest thing we have to an actual otherwordly creature now that Bowie has returned to the stars. Seems like a good casting choice to me.

“she turned around to see an officer “still pointing the barrel of his rubber bullet gun at her.””

I met a guy who went to expensive college USA - we will call him Chad - came to my university in Scotland and lived in our flat. His psychopath father was one of the US top corporate executives and they had a house in the Hamptons or Martha’s Vineyard or some other place. The son was so full of despair and hate for…

I have a friend who went to U Penn with Trump Sr. Yes, the one running for President. My friend is an older, East Coast conservative family white man, and he *despises* Trump. He describes Trump as the most despicable, venal human being he has ever met, with no redeeming characteristics.

I wonder if there isn’t a reason donald is a teetotaler. Fred was probably a mean drunk and I wouldn’t be surprised if Donald didn’t like the way he got when he drank either.

I was at Penn at the same time as Melker. Donnie was indeed a sad sack of a human being who peed everywhere and assaulted everyone. He belonged to the most rape-y of rape-y fraternities and comfortably communicated with his asshat brothers in the misogynist language of his father and...he just sucked. He really did…

If you read the original article, it’s the actual systems, not variable names, that are examined and critiqued. And the systems he used are not properly represented, and based off of badly flawed data that he chose through self-selection bias.

As a professional software developer, I’m really confused by this comment. The story had absolutely nothing to do with the names of variables. Any variable names presented in the article are just pseudo code representations of what the actual C# code is doing.

As someone who has worked in software development for over ten years, I’m completely befuddled by your statement. The variables mean very little? Hogwash. They’re of great significance since, as you noted, they help determine the results. I don’t know why you would ever imply that the tools used to build something are…

Yeah no. Tons of people have shitty lives and don’t turn into bullies. There is NO excuse for being a bully. None. I’m sure some of my bullies were super insecure and hated themselves and probabaly came from rough families. So? They still chose to bully me. They were assholes then and are undoubtedly assholes now.

Yep. During the Ace Discourse (aka a bunch of people claiming asexuals aren’t LGBT+ and bullying Aces and Ace allies) there’s been tons of people telling asexuals to kill themselves and I am so scared some younger Ace is going to go through with it. Pro-Ace blogs I peruse are full of people, including teens, being…

Oh the time I got socked in the face was much better than any of the times they undermined me, mocked me, isolated me, and so on. It also proved to me the teachers were on my side (the elderly geography teacher pretty much turned into Superman and chased down the puncher and the two kids who blocked my escape, dragged…

I truly hope she literally haunts them all.

I was shocked to see my cousin’s 13 year old daughter brag about being mean to another girl at school for being weird. I admonished her only to have her mother (my cousin) basically say “What? That kid IS weird, so...”

I was bullied mercilessly in school. It was...awful. I’m so glad that I was pretty much done with school before social media was a thing, or else I probably would’ve been in a similar situation. The worst that happened online is a guy from school spent the summer chatting with me on AIM and then turned out it was a…

There needs to be a group for kids to voice their abuse.

I hope the school administrators, the bullies, and the bullies’ parents live with this guilt until their dying days. Kids think this behavior is ok because someone models it for them.

The bullying element has grown SO much now that kids have technology at their fingertips 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Used to you could go home and be safe from hate, but not anymore. Bullying (combined with mental health issues) is what landed my daughter in a psychiatric hospital last month with suicidal thoughts.…

Fuck you people who keep your guns ”hidden.”

Goddammit, lock that shit up in a gun safe and the bullets some place else.
