You’re on the right track, however unless they were getting someone to make these out of their half-finished garage, they aren’t being made on $200 hardware. The most basic industrial machine that is standard in every single garment/accessory factory would easily work through the material shown in the original image.…

Well, in a successful attempt to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat only to toss it right back, Bethesda has now done almost what you described, except they’re only offering a whopping $5 worth of Atoms. I imagine that’s more of a slap in the face than a consolation to the poor fools who preordered this mess.

I’ve been in Customer Support positions in the video game industry for 11 years and have worked with companies like Square Enix and Activision. The customer support answer that was sent was... upsetting. To put it mildly. Here’s how I would have answered that email:

Every single recommended story is “Stop preordering video games.” Every. Single. One.
That’s hilarious.

I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion as a suicidal teen (with what was later diagnosed as clinical depression and social anxiety), and it was, and is, probably the singular most important piece of art to me.

Please add anything HGTV to the gym question. That is all I ever see on at my gym.  Nothing like getting pumped to house shopping!

Does the crack-addicted teen sex worker who lives on the street have a choice as to work while pregnant? Does she have a choice to get pregnant in the first place?

That’s not the legal question though. It’s not whether there is a legitimate benefit, it's whether there is an illegal monopoly. 

This isn’t an issue with not understanding “tech.” This is far more to do with the economic principles then technology. There is no technical necessity for Apple to maintain a walled garden. There may be benefits to consumers and developers-and certainly one to Apple’s bottomline-but there is nothing that actually…

But why shouldn’t sex workers share it with the world? What if this woman’s talent is sex? She enjoys it and she’s good at it, which is a lot more than most people can say about their jobs. Athletes put their bodies through hell with massive amounts of potential harm, and they’re not pariahs for “selling their bodies”.

I don’t see how iOS is a monopoly any more than Windows is a monopoly.

You keep bringing up worker exploitation at places like Amazon - yet you think when sex is being sold for profit suddenly capitalism is a coddling protector?

Demand for Amazon Prime leads to exploitation. Demand for coal and oil and other fossil fuels leads to exploitation.  Look back through your comments on other articles on this site and show me where you talk about exploitation in other industries if that’s so important to you.

Every WOMAN is one bad night away from being beat, raped or murdered. Especially if you’re single. In fact, sex workers are often safer because their clients are screened well.

writes about sex worker by featuring white, well-paid, women.

I feel like “don’t chop off pieces of people who can’t consent” is a generally good policy.

I know, right?! Caesar is the only salad I love, mostly because the romaine serves as a delivery system for all the truly good stuff. I was on my way to get one yesterday when I saw this news. It’s like the universe won’t let me be great.

What a great article about how someone can have a variety of complex, nuanced—and, most importantly—evolving viewpoints about not just a divisive topic, but all the sexist/misogynistic baggage around that character. Thank you for writing this.

Yeah, if she knew enough to know that one of the daughters needed an epi-pen, she probably saw herself making a home and family with this guy. I wouldn’t call her stupid.  She’s not the first person to be taken in by a sociopath.

It’s tough to track down but there are three first-degree murder counts and two for the murder of a child who is not yet 12 where the defendant is in a position of trust. Here are the enumerated counts:
