… it rained recently?

0% chance of this being real, but that was a fun read

Downloading torrents on a friend’s internet is worse.

Use a cafe instead.

Because the insult is too insulting, or because saying it while representing a company is inappropriate?

Actually I have heard of some insane mods

Don’t give gatekeepers the benefit of the doubt. If they don’t want to see opinion articles about games, they can block the community.

Predicting the games will have differences does not entitle you to limit other people’s tools of evaluation (comparison is a tool of evaluation).

I’m a fellow straight person who has had a gay person hit on me. Here’s the thing: the problem wasn’t his gayness. The problem was his persistence. If he had hit on me respectfully, and backed off when I showed disinterest, everything would have been fine.

His persistence wasn’t due to his gayness. There are gay people who are not persistent.

A lot of straight people are persistent too, and it’s just as much of a problem in straight people as it is in gay people, it just doesn’t bother you specifically, because you’re straight.

So glad I live in a blue state so I don’t get held to muggle standards

Age might be a factor. Are you 30 yet? My metabolism slowed down in my 30s.

Or did he mean it?

I lost interest around Halo 4. Making Cortana and Dr. Halsey turn into villains was dumb. Also, 4’s forge mode was inferior to Reach’s. Also, 4’s environments were too bland, monotonous and grey. The earlier games worked in part due to the aesthetic variance from one level to the next.

Thank you, was going to request this

I have been invited to them before, and since decided I don’t like them. Good enough for you?

You are advocating for the violation of helpless animals, so the insult was appropriate. Are you unable to understand that hurting animals is bad?

Hair-dyeing is an aesthetic choice for entertainment. Children can consent to dyeing their hair because they can understand and accept the skin irritation. When we say children cannot consent, we are talking about activities with consequences they cannot grasp.

If you are equating dyeing the hair of animals with giving children vaccines necessary for their health, you’re a laughably obtuse self-centered buffoon, at best.

Animals cannot consent to hair-dying, and it can be an irritating/painful process for some humans, so that likely extends to animals as well. A person cannot knowingly, in good conscience, condone it.

Edit: I see we’ve got some of the anti-consent crowd in here.

Republicans love telling women to smile though
