There's a difference between capitalism and greed, capitalism and the kind of structure that requires Max Win Alla the Time.

I'm a landlord. You don't get more oldfashioned-capitalist than that. The Game requires that I screw tenants to the wall, maximize profit, and use profit to buy more rental units and screw more…

There's a bit of a cottage industry in trying to humiliate performers by isolating their vocals. Interestingly, 99% of the time the performers it's done to are women. Because, y'know, humiliating women is always hilarious.

This thread is amazing.

I don't think anyone in Britain is surprised by how far the entertainment business will go to cover up or ignore allegations of sexual assault by powerful men. I don't know how many left-pondian Jezebelites were following the Jimmy Savile scandal but if you're not aware, google it and weep. It's horrific, and the…

Although Gwen Stefani is still the same age she was ten years ago.

Soul Calibur is far less about complex combos than other fighting games often are. I feel that that helps a lot for newbies and people who are bad at comboing. I also happen to like how they play because of that.

These stories are so dissimilar in intent, crime and characters that your statement essentially makes no sense.

I have very mixed feelings about his whole role in this. On one hand, yes a 17 year old is nearly an adult and is perfectly capable of knowing that child porn is VERY VERY NOT OKAY. But on the other it seems quite obvious that he was groomed, corrupted, and taken advantage of by this other man. He is still a victim of…

Just like Jesus taught us.

Solid theory.

There is an obvious answer that no one is addressing.
