Who said across the country? In solid blue areas, she should absolutely be the model candidate. The idea that every district is a swing district has been the Democratic party’s most damaging fallacy.

Jane and Trent have stylized eyes and dark hair, but their siblings don’t and they’re all supposed to have the same parents so it’s unlikely they were intended to represent Asian Americans.

I forget name of the episode, but there’s a 30 Rock that was clearly written by someone fired up about the then-current writer’s strike with a poster for Transformers: Moon of the Moon written by No One

It’s what the network wants, why bother to complain?

Jodie was the character who most consistently called Daria on her shit, but she had a cynical “everyone is just playing a role” attitude that wouldn’t really play well today and otherwise she’s a pretty flat character (which was pretty common for misguided 90s onscreen diversity efforts, instead of playing into

It’s been hijacked by marketing departments that need to justify their own existence. The idea of a “critic system” versus how most people decide to see something (it looks interesting, a friend or publication/writer that has similar taste tells them if they liked it) kind of points to the artificiality of the whole

The parents were being arrested, the children were technically not but since they no longer had guardians (because they were in custody) they basically entered foster care on paper, and on paper the warehouses with chainlink cages were basically considered group homes.

If there weren’t thousands of examples of just that in other movies, just with a heterosexual slant, I feel like you’d have a point

I don’t think you can make a narcissistic sociopath into a movie without them claiming glory for themselves. It’s sort of their thing

It’s fascinating how many publications will mention how Trump directs the media for his benefit, while actively participating in that direction  

Came here for this. Such a weird game, from the self-aware writing to a genuinely weird gameplay style built around escorting your hero units 

Vote in every election and encourage others to do the same, make the call to Murkowski anyway just to get it on record, if you have social media leave likes and positive comments on things you’d like the algorithm to notice, if it’s possible to communicate with your neighbors in a way that will counter their

As you say, “gaming” is a broad category. You mention gambling when you listed substances that have been demonstrated to be addictive, but video gaming operates on many if not most of the same principles. There’s a distinction between chemical and behavioral addiction that I feel like you’re glossing over a bit there.

I’m not saying sugar isn’t an addictive substance that merits study and a shift it’s viewed culturally and medically. I’m saying that doesn’t have anything to do with the article or my statement and I suspect the motives behind raising the point as a response and providing no further context. From the linked article:

You’re correct. I think you can find more information about that here:

“Gaming Disorder” is a bad name, but I’m worried about the defensiveness I’m seeing about this on gaming sites. Video games have a weird mix of dopamine, classical conditioning, stress and stimulus overload that you don’t really encounter elsewhere, it is very relevant to know if that is uniquely unhealthy or if it’s

Illegal boarder crossing is a misdemeanor, as is jaywalking (where it remains on the books). Legally they are equivalent. That’s not my opinion, it’s a statement of fact
