I find this neither unsettling nor a significant privacy concern. If I am engaging in communication with customer support I probably want them to have an answer to my problem immediately. It’s not as though they are tracking any information I post outside that window. They cannot hear what I’m saying, they cannot…

We were told that? I vaguely recall that writers were given stronger control over what comments left the grays and I assumed that it was specifically to stamp out criticism...

I wish Gawker would adopt stronger editorial policies when it comes to their use of hyperbolic headlines. This article discusses a single appointment to a Witmer’s transition team.

I understand your perspective here but I would argue that the minor headline modification (they added the word ‘Remaining’) adds a level of clarity that removes any possibility of misinterpreting.

I was thinking that too... 75% is misleading. We have three secondary storyline DLCs already released (Episodes Gladiolus, Prompto, and Ignis) with Episode Ardyn still being released.

a game that appeared to be made for a very different audience than hardcore Diablo fans.

I understand their reasoning behind it, but I cannot help but think that at least part of “Complication” really translates to “We don’t want to put in the work”

I’ve ‘quit’ WoW before The Burning Crusades, then again during Wrath of the Lich King, then after Mists of Panderia, and most recently during Legion.

A (very small) silver lining: Fish makes excellent fertilizer.

I wish I could say I was surprised but I am not. Halloween costumes are all about exploiting a trend, and with female costumes it’s always (always) about sexualizing that trend, regardless of how (in)appropriate that might be.

This administration has shown, repeatedly, that it does not understand that the Executive Branch is not all-powerful. And in almost every instance of their clearly exceeding the authority of that branch (or violating protocols and laws) they have been stopped.

This is a horrible user experience

Use of System.—Except to the extent necessary for testing the public alert and warning system, the public alert and warning system shall not be used to transmit a message that does not relate to a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster or threat to public safety.

Now as a counter argument... maybe don’t try to avoid the alert?

I’m sorry but what the fuck?

My husband and I were just talking about this the other day. He walks dogs as a side-gig so he gets to deal with all sorts of dogs and their quirks, but he never comments negatively to the owners. With our own dogs though it’s like... “Hi, this is my dog. He’s an asshole. I love him.”

Isn’t it odd that the US government doesn’t own a brownstone on the Upper East Side for the US Ambassador to the UN (with embassy offices downstairs)? That would make more sense than nearly $60,000 a month on rent.

It seems an excessive expense at face value, I’ll grant you that much. But there are a couple of problems I have with the way this is being reported.

That Tasty video is the perfect segue to Donald Trump, because like our president that concoction looks like a fucking awful pile of meat and mess.

It may shock you to know that some people do not feel obligated to patronize one ecosystem over another just because “that’s what they have now”.
