I’ve actually wound up routinely having precisely this kind of discussion in every MMO-style game I’ve ever played. Nifty that in EVE there’s an officially recognized network. Which is really, really odd, contrasted with the acerbic nature of much of the game’s communication.

It’s an odd realization that basic kindness…

To be fair, I know several people who were told from when they were kids that they had Cherokee or Navajo or Comanche or other Early American tribes in their family tree. My own great-grandmother told everyone that her grandfather was Cheyenne—every nephew and neice and grandkid and great-grandkid and cousins all...…

So, according to that law, it’s legal for a ten-year-old to buy cigarettes?

Guys, this is open-and-shut. All Walmart and Dick’s have to do is insist that the selling of guns to minors is “against their religion”. If it works for Hobby Lobby refusing to allow their employees to get birth control, it certainly applies to whether or not a store can sell a certain type of merchandise.

Consent is everything.
Consent is everything.
Consent is EVERYTHING.

I do find the “outrage” overblown and ridiculous too, but ever since Obama was elected, such bullshit has been floating to the surface en masse. Such is American life.

As for this pasty-ass white boy, I can’t fucking wait to get to see this movie. I’ve wanted non-European-centric Sci-Fi since I was a kid. And this…

Uh, no. No, for like a million reasons. Games alter and change over time. Games are patched, new content added, old content re-shuffled. And games can be shut down or future development halted or cut off completely well past two months.

Reviewers for sites and magazines all get copies of the game to play fully and…

Hershey, Mars, and Nestle buy from companies using labor from 2 million+ children in Ghana and the Ivory Coast. Most of all the chocolate made uses child slavery in harvesting the cocoa. But the plant going extinct is a “disaster” in your “heart”? Nice. 

Dude, we knew a hell of a lot earlier than Shaver.

[Police] say they will be working to find those responsible

These product-pulls denote the inability to purchase further copies, not restrictions on access to licenses already sold.

Dude, over 98% of the tens of millions of responses to the FCC were against overturning Net Neutrality. Nearly everyone already knows “so”, who would we be yelling it to? Are you expecting is to shout at each other, fellow screw-ees?

One high-speed provider (cable). The other two are DSL with speeds of 4 and 7 mbps, respectively. So, like most of the people not living in a sizeable city, it’s one, just like it always was. And that “one” will most certainly try to screw us over.

Trump has buried the bar entirely.

Try as I might, I can’t seem to think of a better one than, “Punch a Nazi”.

No one that fuck-ugly should ever look that smug. He looks like he tried to give a blowjob to a vacuum cleaner. He looks like Goofy’s bald gimp cousin. He looks like a cartoon immediately after it’s smacked in the face with a fridge door. He’s on the same level of obnoxious-looking as that Shkreli prick, but at least…

*shrug* I like it. Course I used to be a goth. and I hate Christmas smarmy. And it ain’t piss-and-gold colored like everything else there.

If you’re going to claim “financial loss”, then yes, you have to verify the age of your users. That’s not an opinion, it’s fact: You cannot contractually obligate a minor or that minor’s parents, because minors cannot enter contracts.

Dude, if you’re gonna copy-paste Wikipedia, at least remove the footnotes, or go whole-hog and actually copy the source links directly. This half-ass shit has got to go.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, just that your response was really sloppy.

He fucked Bob Taft, who was his first love, in a hayloft? Punctuation, Billy-boy: It’s important.
