Did you look this up? Or do you actually have this entire conversation memorized?

That reminds me of one of the episodes of Archer: Vice where Caldarone and Archer are talking about meat:

I’ll bet the decline of imagery like the Magikarp sashimi had to do with growing popularity in the west more than anything else. Japanese people are very comfortable with the obvious fact that meat comes from animals and the animals have to die if you want to eat them. Similarly, most Japanese children do not suffer…

My kosher guide says they’re to be treated as fruit/vegetables, right down to shmita law.

no, because that would be cruel, unlike enslaving them and forcing them to fight for sport

If you only eat grass pokemon, are you vegetarian?

The Pokemon Farfetch’d was specifically mentioned to have been hunted to near extinction because its meat was considered a delicacy.

don’t tell me Farfetch’d wasn’t made specifically to toss in a pot of boiling water

Well, of course they list it as optional. You don’t need it to apply for a visa - just to have any chance of being accepted.

Good thing there are no anime boobies in this game or it might not have met Steam’s “community standards.”

At least the big tobacco company CEOs all smoked.

When I was a kid, I was a big kid but not athletic. Somewhere around my Freshman year, my gym teacher told me he could “make me a man” if I tried out for football. (I assume he meant in the traditional sports way, not the Sandusky Locker Room way) I declined for many reasons, but mostly because football looked like a…

Yes, I think the tobacco story is a good precedent here. What’s particularly interesting with both situations is the extent to which there was medical/scientific knowledge of the dangers, but it was largely ignored for decades until the damage became too obvious. Until reading this article, I didn’t realize the extent…

I kept coming back to that similarity again and again while reading the article, especially in the section citing early 20th century references to concussions and head injuries.

I would say parents and society in general need to think critically about the value of toughness in society. I don’t mean rushing to hold your kid if they fall and scrape their knee. That’s a low-risk, high-reward learning experience. It’s fair to let your kids do things that lead to problems that either the body…

The NFL and NCAA are gonna do what they are gonna do, which is defend their profits to the death. Don’t look to them for anything resembling a compassionate response.

You are mistaken, it’s not about women in videogames, it’s about ethics in game journalism

These kids who are whining about “historical accuracy” are likely the same ones who claimed historical accuracy didn’t matter when someone pointed out the inaccurate absence of non-white people in Kingdom Come.

I’m not a history expert but women were involved in combat actions in ww2 in the French resistance. Also anyone who decried historical inaccuracy with regard to a bunch of polygons shooting at each other with numbers flying up in the middle of the screen should rethink their choice of hills to die on.

Kind of hilarious that these snowflakes are upset women appeared in a simple war game. Like seriously? When did people stop playing games to enjoy it? We aren’t watching a documentary.
