Here’s my takeaway from this article: There’s a lot of lonely people out there. I’m not sure anyone outside of the “gayshipping” demographic really thinks this is front-page io9 materiel, though I may be mistaken. It’s weird how a niche topic that used to haunt internet forums has become this mainstream…

I’d be genuinely interested in what those reasons are. I get that office (or residential)-only skyscrapers are an issue, because they create urban silos. But skyscrapers that are mixed-use (stores, public-access areas on main floors; office/residential higher up) seem ideal for creating walkable cities.

No, we do need more skyscrapers. Or at least, more tall buildings.

Because whiny shits on the internet fetishize a New York City that barely ever existed outside of TV and movies. “Beloved, locally owned corner store”? Give me a break. Every corner store I’ve ever been in was already either corporate owned, in need of immediate inspection and shutdown by the health inspector, or…

Because its 2017 and everything is offensive..

Honest question: Why is a vending machine that sells household staples offensive in the US? Don’t vending machines sell all sorts of items in Japan and no one bats an eye?

Thank you for bringing yourself up, Jason.

Didn’t the Lucio changes just go up in PTR a day or two ago? Probably will be there for at least a week or two before it shows up publicly, and who knows if they’ll make a few tweaks to the new Lucio settings before then, anyway.

Note: Judging from Reddit reaction, it appears that the Lucio changes did not go Live with Orisa.

Orisa is easily the most exciting new hero so far and I can’t wait to get home and try her out! It’s crazy how much of a swiss army knife she appears to be. It’s like “Here’s a tank, with Soldier’s gun, Rein’s shield, Zary’s ult, and Mercy’s damage boost (for your whole team). Oh, and she can withstand practically…

lets not beat around the bush though; that parking lot is epic.

Who else had their eyes go immediately to checking out the what kind of cars were parked in the background?

My god people are over sensitive. He was a murderer of scumbags.

I’m really hoping it’s a British bot that keeps adding “u” to “color” and an American bot that comes along and takes it out.

And in his defense that entire case was closed and dismissed by the chief prosecutor of sweden, Eva Finne. Then once his name came in the spotlight again for political reasons a separate prosecutor reopened the case. It’s about as shady as rape cases get.

He was cool until he released stuff that didn’t align with their agenda. Good enough?

I am still at a loss as to why Gawker (now Gizmodo) has a raging hatred for Assange. The US government has always been secretive. It has been ultra-secretive since Bush 43. So someone has to be an asshole and help those secrets leak out. We have an NSA who was compromised by Russia and a prsident who probably is…

FUCKING LUCKY BASTARD.

Good thing we don't live there or care about those people.

Booze. Works every time.
