I won’t deny the former, but the latter two accusations are provably false. Sorry to be mean to your hero. If it helps, he’s not the only one. It’s an industry problem with secrecy.

As Waypoint editor Austin Walker put it in a recent editorial, guns are a shortcut to violence, violence is how a lot of games express power, and power is what most video games are really about.

Honestly, that level of secrecy is grotesque. If he’s just avoiding the topic because he’s tired of it, or whatever else, that’s one thing. But if he’s honestly so worried about the secrets getting out that he won’t tell his own son, that should be a damn wake up call.

Sadly, you won’t be to get rid of the lawyers. You can never get rid of the lawyers.

Been saying this since the premiere. I think TLJ is one of the best movies in the Star Wars franchise. But I think it’s one of the worst Star Wars movies in the franchise.

A more salient study would be to figure out if households with rubber duckies experience infections more frequently than households without.

The best way to consume CNN (and Fox News, and MSNBC...) is via the website. The articles are still pretty solid journalism, and the nature of websites let you ignore all of the meaningless opinion pieces. They even make it easy for you, by labeling those pieces with “ANALYSIS: [headline]”.

I’m a big fan of the “yes and” tool, but it requires a TON of critical and abstract thought. That’s why you have commenters here quibbling over the specific use-case you suggested. Instead of stretching their legs and thinking of how they could make it work, they worry about it all the places where it definitely…

Excuse me, but I’ve got it on pretty good authority that, to prevent war, the galaxy is on Orion’s belt.

Fair enough. I suppose we fundamentally disagree on the utility of spaces that exclude classes of people by design, but I imagine we probably agree, more than we disagree, on the utility of spaces that are exclusive by nature, so I don’t see any reason to belabor any points.

Motherfucking Cassowaries, man.

Readers are allowed to criticize. I did. OP did.
Readers are also allowed to criticize other readers’ criticism. Just because you complain, doesn’t mean your complaint is irrefutable.

Until we win, are we supposed to just be subject to mistreatment, bias, and harassment as soon as we walk out the door?

Laurie’s distracted reaction to Richard’s congratulations was priceless.

[...]people always speak more about the unexpected triumph rather than the home run hit by an old pro.

I disagree with that, entirely. Alan Rickman played a bored old actor, but I don’t think Alan Rickman was actually a bored old actor. He just played that part well and was cast as something similar in a lot of roles.

Gawker (and Trotter, especially) is not journalism. To try to classify a blog post as either ‘article’ or ‘opinion’ is to miss the point of blogs - to create a space where the author can eschew journalistic integrity in order to editorialize, in “real time”.

This is just a bad take. Alan Rickman in Galaxy Quest was a phenomenon.

And solving computer science.

Yeah! Don’t you understand that science isn’t about winning people’s hearts and minds, so helping people reach a reasonable consensus understanding is COMPLETELY MEANINGLESS?!?!!
