You’re not far off. As a parent, the idea of someone sexualizing my kids in any way makes me seethe. Like there are people I wouldn’t let my kids be alone with for a second just because they give me bad vibes.
But I do have to concede that it’s a psychological thing that people have, even if I wish they didn’t. I have to imagine that if anyone got to choose, then they certainly wouldn’t opt for that. I agree that the “kill your local pedo” mentality drives these people into the shadows where they won’t seek help, and may actually victimize kids. I just don’t know if I have the ability to look at someone with that mindset and be totally free of judgement, even if they do seek help.

Oh I’m not disagreeing with you there. In this case, they were being brought in as a defendant for a wrongful death case. The probably realized there was some potential PR damage from considering invoking the Disney+ terms (rightfully so, fuck them), but I’m sure they weighed that against the liability of the wrongful death suit.
In the case of the video, I’d be surprised if they went after Robert, because I don’t see them gaining more from this case than they would lose in publicity. I could be wrong though, perhaps we’ll see!
- Comment on Marc Rober shows why Tesla's camera-only self-driving system is dangerous 1 week ago:
Getting into a legal battle with an immensely popular YouTuber would probably cost them a lot more in bad publicity than they would reasonably make from a lawsuit. I guarantee someone at Disney is doing or already has done the calculations.

- Comment on Split Fiction sold 1 million units in its first 48 hours 2 weeks ago:
It defaults to inverted flight controls, which some people like, but others hate. I suggest your partner disable the inverted controls.
- Comment on Split Fiction's Josef Fares says they'll never offer microtransactions: "Just make games. Period." 2 weeks ago:
The worlds and gameplay are varied enough to always keep you from getting bored. The controls are pretty solid but aren’t offering anything groundbreaking. The dialogue is not great, often cringe but occasional good moments. The story and villains are poorly written. Lots of nods to other video games, pretty ham-handed but they can be fun sometimes. The fun you have will depend on who you play with. 7/10 for me.

I think I get where you’re coming from: if the cart wrangler is paid by the hour, what do they care? I’ll offer a counter point.
Have you worked in retail? You’re assuming the person collecting your wayward cart doesn’t have an a-hole middle manager breathing down their neck asking them why it’s taking so long to bring in the carts. That lovely stroll in the sun could be a write up for someone who is just trying to get by.
I don’t think you’re off base with your intentions. I’m all for sticking it to faceless corporations, but I wouldn’t want to do that at the potential expense of someone’s livelihood.

For sure. Also with all the rumored Microsoft support, an Age of Empires/Mythology collection would be a no-brainer.

- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 – First-look trailer 2 months ago:
I think it’s really interesting that the trailer seems to confirm one of the more wild leaks - that the joycons will have optical sensors that allow them to be used as a computer mouse. It would be really interesting if Metroid Prime 4 shipped with mouse support. Also, this would be pretty notable if the rumors of the Master Chief collection releasing on Switch 2 are confirmed.

A recent one that comes to mind is playing 4 player Bopl Battle with some buddies and just laughing our asses off.

Portal 2 spoilers The final fight where the ceiling crumbles and you see the moon and realize what you need to do is definitely a top 5 moment for me. Those games are so fantastic.

How so? I’m trying to understand if you think these charges didn’t warrant an investigation in the first place, or you are only saying this in hindsight of Trump’s reelection.

If you get voted into power, lobbyists give you even more money.
- Comment on US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true? 4 months ago:
Think of this from his perspective: the Democrats put their faith in the idea that money wins elections, and if you can out-raise your opponent the votes will follow. Twice they conspired against Bernie in the primaries because of his platform: tackling wealth inequality, progressive tax reform, and overturning Citizens United v. FEC. They chose corporate interests over the working class because they valued money more than votes.
- Comment on If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump? 4 months ago:
Your scenario implies Trump lives to 98, and unless the preservatives in big macs are the key to longevity, I doubt he makes it that long.
- Comment on Microsoft estimated Valve’s revenue in 2021 at $6.5bn Interesting to see another view on the scale of Valve’s business 1 year ago:
The really impressive thing about Valve is the amount of revenue they make with a relatively small head count. They have about 1/10 the number of employees as EA.

Haha, cool as in I have no beef with them. If you thought I meant “hip” I’ll just say I can’t judge since I’ve been out of that game for a while, as evidenced by my use of “hip” in a sentence.

- Comment on Vegan dies from starvation 1 year ago:
Interesting. You shared a cross sectional data analysis that criticizes other studies for not accounting for enough confounding variables, even though the Adventist study I shared already accounts for more variables.
The high life expectancy rates for Hong Kong have been attributed to much lower rates of smoking, and higher per capita wealth.
Again, I appreciate the concern, but I stopped eating meat 14 years ago and I’m doing great!
- Comment on Vegan dies from starvation 1 year ago:
I’m more interested in the supposed study correlating high meat consumption with longer life. Do you have one to support that claim, as I’ve provided two that seem counter to it?
