I grew up in Maryland. As a young boy, I had been lead to believe Georgetown University was a top local school that I could set my sights on. And then I heard Patrick Ewing speak. I was so confused.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. Most tired tropes crammed into one sentence.

All those words appear to be from the English language, of which I am a native speaker, and yet...

I guess my response got deleted for having the temerity to point out facts and cite a reference, but basically it’s not against any law. Their work conditions and work requirements are not the same.

Against what law? There’s a passage in the Equal Pay Act describing jobs, “the performance of which requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and which are performed under similar working conditions....” The women and men play in different leagues against different competition. Having the same technical job…

I guess my question would be, do FFP rules specifically prohibit this, or the Mbappe transaction? Or are these just openly available methods for the more creative teams to circumvent the spirit of the rules without actually violating them?

A lot seems to be missing from this. Job descriptions and requirements, for one. An ounce of basic economics for another. What’s the motivation for these QA people to do these shitty jobs for shitty pay? Are they not qualified for anything else and they just want to be a part of the gaming industry? Is it a foot in…

Banner day when climate scientists admit they didn’t know something.

I heartily agree with your disagreement. However, my first change would be to do away with the practice of providing a wordlist to study. I only learned about that last night, and it’s complete bullshit. It’s not a spelling bee, it’s a contest to see who can memorize the most unusual words off a list.

“We’ve?” What time shall I pop over for a spot of tea?

Got the bobblehead.

Brake. Nice.

James Cameron? Ok, I’m in.

Godwin’s Law v2.

It’s the converse of people originally from Texas who’ll tell you how great a place it is, but for some unknown reason have moved away.

...says someone who’s never had anything but a perfect little angel who will sleep on command, wherever and whenever.

I see what you were trying to do, but this one fell flat. Recommend immediately retiring “threw the dick off [any inanimate object].”

Not much of a sense of humor, huh?

I’m by no means trying to suggest that this gentleman has never been called that name, but my bullshit meter is twitching. Seems like a very convenient narrative. Like pics posted of nasty notes left on bar tabs by supposedly racist customers, which turn out to be hoaxes with saddening frequency.
