I don't know about you, but I have a Nuclear Fart Cleanser ^TM strapped to my ass as I type. Mmm. Uranium fresh.

Fair enough. I found it grating, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.

That's what I was thinking, too. It's so cringe-worthy when marketers do that.

Ugh, that dialogue. The trailer would have been so much better without it.

Yeah, that was my problem. I lose a crazy amount of DPS if I roll out a stat for a socket, or pick up another jewelry piece that has a socket (my gear is pretty tops on my main character).

A few years ago, during the last bout of hacked/stolen celebrity photos, both Gawker and BuzzFeed straight up posted the photos. They've done it several times, I believe. This time, the response across the Gawker sites to this incident is much more measured, and conscientious.

The issue is consent. Kate Upton said specifically in an interview recently that she would likely never do full nudes, because even though she has no problem with nude photography itself, she didn't think the internet would receive them in the manner she wanted. The reactions listed here, to the stolen photos, prove…

Like, I loved the fuck out of the first Peggle - great memories, there - but I'm not buying an Xbox One for it.

"Guilty by association" is, I think, what I've been feeling here. But, as others have pointed out, shame does nothing, and assumes that you are part of the problem. So I'll stop looking at it like that, and try to do something positive.

I am far too gone tonight to reply to this intelligently, so I will just star your post and thank you for taking the time to write a response.

This is a fair point. It's important to understand the bias present, when you have a go-to source for news.

Fair points. Not something I am equipped to respond to right now, considering my level of intoxication, though.

I did name drop Ferguson, but I suppose I was thinking more about this article which I'd just read, in which the black man in question most certainly did not do anything, and was tased and arrested anyway:

Perhaps I don't need to feel shame - perhaps that's a silly reaction (though I'd argue it's one that can be difficult to avoid, in times of despair). That said, not covering it would be even worse. If we cover it over, and pretend it's not there, nothing will change - and I truly believe that something needs to…

You know, I've been following this pretty closely over the past few days, falling down the rabbit hole and reading a lot of intelligent, inspiring articles on the issue as a result, while also reading way too many horrible, vitriolic words from those I'd always considered "my people."

When I was a kid, I would get excited about getting sick because I knew I could stay home and play video games. Thing I always forgot each time, though, was how I'd get sick enough that I wouldn't want to do anything except sleep.

150cc is pretty brutal, at the worst times - can't argue with that.

Funniest thing I've read today. Keep being you, sir.

I feel like half of the fun of the Mario Kart series is screaming at the screen - especially when you're playing side-by-side with someone.

"I'll never forget the night I cradled my own cat as he slowly passed away—his eyes were so big—and my heart really goes out to them. Be well."
