Ok, fair in this context. When viewed as the larger “starving artist” concept, however, I’ll stick more to my guns. The stereotypical starving artist isn’t just Patreon users who are getting stuff stolen. It’s artists who aren’t selling anything AND aren’t getting content ripped off.

If an artist can’t sell their art, then it’s because it’s not anything that other people value.

Did anyone else think that Arkangel was bullshit? (spoilers)

Yeah, hurricane Sandy cemented the idea that it’s a good idea to keep some cash. Our town was out of power for almost 2 weeks, and while we did have a stocked pantry (and a gas stove thankfully), a lot of the little stores in the area would only take cash for obvious reasons.

If this is true, and he accepts her by the end, then this is super progressive for a Japanese game.

Another good reason. You get mugged. Carry a cheap money clip with a few dollars in it. You get mugged, toss the clip one way, and run the other. By the time the perp picks up the cash, you are far enough away that you probably won’t get shot.

Gosh, I agree with this so, so very much. A couple extra points:

The best advise I can give is the following:

Goddamn it Jason, you have a spoiler in the first goddamn paragraph that appears on the front page. Some people have avoided virtually every article why we wait for a PC release

Aside from tugging on the ol’ heartstrings (what? I’ve got something in my eye), stories like this serve as a reminder that art of all kinds has the power to touch the lives of those who consume it—but we should also remember that fans and their reactions can have a significant impact on the creators of that art as…

I respect that Kingdom Hearts III is nowhere listed in this article. We all know it’s just a fever dream at this point.

Yes to all this. Also, in a medical system where doctors routinely tell women that their pain isn’t real, is it any surprise women stop seeking treatment? I had two friends almost die in the last year because doctors (who were all men) refused to believe that their pain was real and sent them home with directions to…

What if I’m equally unnerved by Google’s corporate practices and would like to avoid them as well?

My advice: the grass is rarely greener. While Apple devices are my primary ones, I use Android/Windows (Surface) daily, and they all have their problems.

Will the thieves donate the proceeds to all the women and girls whom R. Kelly allegedly preyed upon?

The appropriate way to use an FSA is to primarily use it for predictable expenditures. If you are healthy and don’t have monthly prescriptions or regular appointments for other health issues, then you probably don’t need an FSA

So she confirmed closely held personal info that Vandross never publicly admitted, posthumously outing him. Jez take: “that’s what a good friend does.” Yikes.

Not all stocks even pay dividends. It’s more ELI5 to say you’re buying a fraction of that company, a tiny, tiny fraction.

now want all of us to peer pressure gaming companies

I suppose I was thinking about Karma. Marketing professionals may be annoying but produce very little harm compared to racist cops who unfairly target the innocent, sometimes to the point of death. Their Karma is deeply negative.
