Certainly it wouldn’t in the interest of the company who makes a product that sells to people who hold a common misconception to continue to perpetuate that misconception. I can’t think of a single reason they wouldn’t be entirely forthcoming on the official web site!

I felt a great disturbance in the Reddit, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out “well, actually...” and were suddenly silenced.

Kid: “I don’t even want to argue with you right now.”
Mom: “Good, don’t. You won’t win.”

You’re exactly right - I can put down a single-player game for months and then come back and finish it, no problem. Miss a couple weeks in something like Destiny, and you might as well never bother again. And then on the flipside, if the developers do wind up wiping progress or evening things out, the rest of the…

Could be as simple as merging in a bad branch. Team A is working on hotfix 123 that includes the “don’t delete players’ stuff” fix. Team B is working on hotfix 321 that fixes some random “players can glitch through this wall” exploit. Last week, hotfix 123 went out. This week, hotfix 321 went out, but didn’t include…

The coaches and/or athletic directors were in on the scam. The resume only needed to be believable to the admissions board, because they were coming with the recommendation from the coach/AD. There was never any legitimate intent for these kids to be on the team - they were supposed to “try out” but never actually…

I’m sure there are at least a handful of places that have a cheap sandwich. That’s still completely beyond the point. Are you going to tell me that Skyline Chili or whatever horrible Midwestern “delicacy” you want to pick is “common” in the Northeast because I can find one diner in Jersey that has it or something?…

Uh, yeah, but good leaders also have the brains to answer that question with something like “Yes, the app was tested, but unfortunately it appears there were unforeseen issues that caused it to underperform during the load of the live event.”

Going to a place and grabbing a $15 sandwich is not the same as grabbing a $6 sandwich from a corner store. That’s the point. They never said there are *no* sandwiches in DC. Simply that it isn’t as convenient or cheap. Again, you’re trying to find an argument that wasn’t made in the piece. The “bodega cat” thing is…

How many “KwikTrips” are there in downtown DC? Why is everyone rushing to this stupid “OH MY GOD YOU NEW YORKERS” thing? It’s specifically a post (based on an anecdote from AOC) about having trouble finding cheap, quick breakfast sandwiches in DC. I’m not even from NYC and have never lived there. But I can definitely s…

She never said it was a special NYC thing. She said that it’s an uncommon food to find easily *in DC*. Not every post is some hidden slight against the midwest.

This guy coming at you with all kinds of BS, yet somehow I got stuck in the grey, ha.

why can’t you get a damn decent bagel in Pittsburgh

Cooper cheese. It’s ‘American cheese’ but has actual flavor.

Raccoons don’t “often” have rabies. Can we please stop this nonsense? No, you shouldn’t go around petting raccoons since they will probably bite you, because they are wild animals. Rabies kills a raccoon within less than a week of infection. Rabies deaths are incredibly rare, and there has been a whopping one rabies…

public school advocates and teachers unions continue to fight against the siphoning of government funds away from public education and towards bloated charter and voucher programs

That’s been their tool for a while now, it’s super convenient. Something that might benefit the current party in power like filling a Supreme Court seat? Can’t do that with an election coming up! Something that might hurt the current party in power like impeachment? Can’t do that with an election coming up! As always,…

The idea that flattery by Trump off-spring made him decide to retire makes him look like a complicit idiot.

He likes to play the “reasonable conservative” role, but when push comes to shove, he’ll roll over and show his belly like other notable “mavericks” such as McCain.

Same, I was doing my old-fashioned ‘yell at the person who can’t hear you for not signaling’ thing when I realized what was up. I didn’t apologize, because they couldn’t hear me anyway.
