Unless I missed something, this isn’t an abuse of the DMCA. You may not like the way it’s being used, and you would be free to make an argument for why the law is bad or should be changed, but calling it abuse seems like a legal assertion that doesn’t hold water.

B-b-b-but it was just a “heated gaming moment.”

Hey! Give the man some credit. He’s got an above average INT rate, too.

Except that the NFL is functionally drawing only from colleges and almost exclusively from the US, while MLB is drafting from HS and college, not to mention all of foreign players looking to come here to play at the highest levels. Without scouring the internet for numbers, I would guess that MLB also has far more…

People need to keep in mind that one of the parts of the brain that matures last is the frontal lobe, which controls risk-taking and action/consequence type decisions. Teenagers often don’t have a fully developed sense of risk. I wish more adults were capable of remembering the truly stupid things they did as…

I know there will be those that will play the “Darwin” card and while this was foolish a 16-year-old kid is dead. That’s a bummer no matter the circumstance.

Pretty sure Mercy is designed to be a higher floor/lower ceiling character, because she just isn’t doing 2 things at once, like zenyatta/Lucio/Ana(who can literally do 2 things on one shot.)

You should’ve chucked at the “low skill-ceiling” bit, then. One-tricking is possible for every tier-level of skill. One-tricking simply means you only play one hero and aren’t able to perform (well) on other heroes.

Beyond being a fantastic speech, it serves to remind us all that funding women’s professional sports such as the WNBA is very, very important for our young women. By sharing a minuscule amount of their absurd profits, the NBA is performing a valuable, yet subtle, public service.

He deserves to be paid more.

Sue Paterno, once had told the head coach that Sandusky’s wife, Dottie Sandusky, “told her Jerry doesn’t like girls.”

And my five-year-old came in and she looked at the TV and said, “Daddy, are those boys playing basketball?”

All these supporters... It’s similar to how some men say having a daughter woke them up to women’s rights/issues; it shouldn’t take that for you to recognize or respect that kind of thing. Same with this. If any of these supporters’ children were Sandusky’s victims, would they care THEN? Not the best analogy, but…

Of course they all knew. And it would have been easy to ask JoPa, “would you have left your children or grandchildren in the care of your good friend, Jerry?”

They all fucking knew.

I never bought the idea that Paterno “didn’t know”. If your #1 assistant is banging 10 year olds in the shower for 25 years, you know. You’re just hoping no one else finds out because hey, this is the guy that made Penn State “Linebacker U”. That’s more important than a few random little kids, right?

I went out a few times with a girl who graduated from Penn St that is such a Paterno apologist it’s absurd. This is a girl that now works with an organization that in part challenges sexism and sexual harassment in the workplace, which is obviously good. She once got mad at me because I mentioned I enjoyed the song…

“There are worse things than prioritizing football over the safety of children.”

Oh I know the whole saga with the episodes, it’s the mix of numericals and written numbers that I’m curious about. The proper titles are ‘Half-Life 2', and then episodes ‘one’ and ‘two’, not ‘1' and ‘2'. I just thought it odd they don’t match the style. Perhaps there’s a literary rule about differentiating the title…

This was back when “episodic gaming” was going to become the next big trend. So rather than one big expansion pack or anything, the idea was that Valve was going to release three “episodes” spaced out by only a few months, a schedule which they did not stick to or obviously complete. A lot of people in clamoring for…
