I guess that’s the nail on io9 coffin for me. That’s sad, actually, as I really enjoyed the site, on the good old Annalee Newitz and Charlie Jane Anders days (All of us old users are forevers orphans of that time). As a non’American user, I don’t really care with the editors and staff opinions on Trump or anything…

RIP Double Decker taco — one of my faves.

But... but unions are great!

SurgnTurf add-on wasn’t/isn’t. New one already sounds like another $5-6 add-on.

There were 70 people shot so I don’t think he was keeping a count of who died.  He would have killed a lot more if he could. 

That’s the ‘right’ way to bribe your kid into college. Even the guy who did the scam with the celebrities admitted to it

If only Apple allowed their computers and phones to be easily repaired so that they wouldn’t be so disposable. If only Apple didn’t push upgrades over warrantied repairs at their stores. There’s a lot Apple could do to keep ewaste out of land fills so that they wouldn’t have to mine as much, but profits come first. 

Are you brushing off “How are we going to pay for this?” as a petty reaction?

The ultimate goal is to stop using fossil fuels entirely, Ocasio-Cortez’s office told NPR, as well as to transition away from nuclear energy.

Step 3: Become Venezuela. Because taking over the energy sector worked so well down there.

The other issue is, do we need the government to step in and protect us from the big bad evil game publishers? Maybe people should just take responsibility for their own spending. No one is forcing you to buy them. I’ve never bought a single loot box with real money. 

Maybe they should? I mean, you dangle that question out there like it’s a killshot but maybe it’s a conversation worth having especially in regards to the difference between digital and hard products.

Not a lawyer. I think the term is “gross negligence”. The contract doesn’t protect the shop because their action of the employee (illegal u-turn) is clearly “grossly negligent”.

I’m guessing they didn’t expect the customer to call the local news station? They’re idiots.

This is seriously bad business for them. They may get out of fixing this car, but what good will that do if they enrage their customer base and go bankrupt if customers decide to take their business elsewhere? I hope it was worth it.

It took me tow long to get this pun.

Oh, would you kindly go fuck yourself?

This is a pretty garbage take, coming from someone who considers themselves liberal and served in the military for 7 years. 

Coming from someone who is lefty, left, left.  Stop talking immediately.

Yeah he totally signed up for money, power and greed. There was even a check box on the forms he filled out when he signed up that specifically said “You are doing this for the corporate overlords.”

You obviously have no member of your family in the armed services. I do, as well as a few friends, and they do not joint…
