Everyone else is right. Try to line something new up first. But I was once in the position of quitting without something lined up, and the decider for me was that if I didn't quit, I was likely to actually take my own life. It's a matter of perspective at that point, and clearly, surviving was the better option.

One side must bring peace to the middle east, the other side is allowed to tell Israel to kill Palestinians faster.

And before someone comes defending their stance not to vote for either genocidal enabler, why aren't you trying to save as many people as possible? Are you ok with more people dying because of your ideals? Enjoy living with that choice if he wins.

This shit is somewhat agreeable now, because Pal World is so similar, but once this door is opened, it's never going to let developers have the freedom to invent and innovate, because crusty old bullies want to use the legal system to punish anyone that dares resemble 2-3 decade old game mechanics.

Should platformer games pay royalties to Nintendo for having the first character to jump twice it's height?

Video game companies rent seeking for "game mechanics patents" on old shit is just ironically anti fun.

Unironically, yes. You shouldn't be able to shield your actions under a different corporate umbrella.

"Oh, guess we can't fine them much because Twitter is a money pit, so they'll get to continue breaking the law for cheap"

Nah, make the fine off of his entire net worth, make him cash in some of that stock so he can finally pay taxes and fines. Make it hurt enough for him to consider not breaking the laws of countries he wants to do business in.

It's been broken since the 3rd party apps debacle. Thanks for fucking up the site out of pure greed, you self righteous cunts. If Swartz were alive today, he'd kill himself again over what they did to reddit.

How is this not a first amendment constitutional violation? It very clearly establishes a state religion by enforcing Christian doctrine into state law. Fuck every religion, but in particular, fuck abrahamic religion and all of its followers.

I want that guys life. He's got the house, the boat, presumably the truck, and enough disposable income left to hire an excellent artist to paint a giant middle finger to his busybody local government and neighbors. Congrats to him.

I would love to see Valve allow refunds. This was not an agreed upon stipulation at the time of purchase. If they pull the game from you now so soon after purchase, is it not grounds for a refund? Give Sony the choice to backtrack or lose money.

So like, do you have to de-shell them or do you just eat them exoskeleton and all? Given that their diet is fresh sap and xylem water, they seem like pretty clean little bugs to eat. I'd try it.

Nothing quite like big government Republicans passing ineffective laws, while trying to claim they are the small government party. This only affects the big sites, the American sites, and the legally aligned sites. But hey, if they want more adults and children exposed to the shadier sides of the internet, so be it.

Crazy that a millionaire tax in MA could cause this trend countrywide. Just crazy. /s
