Because I, for one, have no interest in a GoW style game? Which is why I didn’t buy GoW? I bought the previous DA’s?

Wholeheartedly agree.
My take on 2024: Neither Trump nor Biden can win, unless BOTH sides are dumb enough to give each their nomination so it ends up Trump vs. Biden.

If Trump wasn’t the biggest RINO of them all, he’d shut up and sit down. (Even endorsing DeSantis would probably be a bad call, but I’m not sure his ego…

Arguing that the reason people shouldn’t is slippery slope, when blackness itself is “slippery slope”. 1/16th? 1/32? 1/256th?

Of course, that ignores the whole “Race is just a made up thing and not genetics” argument.

Yeah, if it became just a word that nobody gives a frack about, we’ll have to come up with something else to get offended by.  Much easier to just stick with the classics.

No, most (modern ones) readily admit they are showmen making use of clever tricks, props, and sleight of hand.

Uri was one of the last of the old breed that insisted he was actually psychic.

Eh.

U.S. Laws are typically prohibitive. Which is to say if a law doesn’t explicitly forbid something, it’s generally legal.

And legislatures probably didn’t think they’d need to prohibit any of that stuff.

Typically I believe it’s option #2.
However the behavior of the police make me strongly suspect that this suspect had been engaging in option 1.

Guess that explains all the announcements/warnings about it being illegal for drivers to solicit rides, and don’t trust/report anybody doing so.

It’s also worth pointing out that none of these recent hackers are actually “Stealing” the code. They’re downloading copies of it. It’s not even ransomware, there is no cost of recovering. You’re paying for a pinky promise that the obviously honorable hackers aren’t going to go ahead and release it all anyways and/or…

you cannot patent a game mechanic

Reminds me of my High School teachers who told me she was gonna dock my grade (A+) if I didn’t raise my hand in class more to answer questions. I basically responded by asking her why she was wanted to waste class time on me when she could be helping kids who were actually having trouble with the material.
Meanwhile,…

I opened the undamaged shipping box to find the Wata Games case broken and the Pokémon Yellow cardboard box loose inside,

Depends on if the entire system is “stack ranked”. E.g. if the teams themselves are ranked in the same fashion, the bottom 5% on the team in the top 5% is still getting better bonus/whatever than the top 5% on the bottom 5% of teams.

I haven’t worked at that many companies, but the ones I have worked at the bonus…

Eh, unpopular opinion here, I suspect, but I tend to believe there is definitely room for “shades of grey” when it comes to statutory rape that aren’t currently really allowed for. E.g. the classic argument of hooking up with a 17 y/o who used fake ID to get into a singles bar.

It’s one thing when an adult is grooming…

Misleading title much?

“Popular Steam Game Raises Price After Seven Years Without A Being On Sale”

Original title says that nobody ever bought the game, so I was wondering how it could still be popular. Was free? Demo version? Heavily pirated due to being already way too expensive?

Uhm. Of course cops come to a scene looking for the fight.
They should only be getting called if there is one.

You don’t call the cops if everything is going fine and everybody is being all cooperative.

To be sure, looking like an ex-wife may be precisely WHY she isn’t his type... anymore.

How does “Straightening out” copyright laws do anything when the AI generated works of art ARE, in fact, unique. Not even “Derivative” works, but actually unique?

Sure, the AI artists may be trained by looking at art by other artists.
But you think Human artists are operating in a vacuum?

“I didn’t know you could just kill somebody over property damage. That’s just crazy,” said Sean Long, Blake’s grandfather, at a local town hall meeting, according to the AP.
