It never was. The general public have always preferred a juicy story that's complete horseshit over boring facts. It's only when news outlets have been forced, by law, to report the truth that they would reliably do so.

"I had one of those. But then I turned it into a nose." -

Great. So Fox News tries to distance themselves from Trump and in return CNN starts courting him. Equivalent exchange is a bitch.

I can't remember the last time I had a hard time getting an older game to still run on new hardware. That was mostly a '90s-early 2000s problem that seems to have been ironed out by the time stuff started getting rereleased on Steam. And Valve had actual quality control in those days too, so you...

Nintendo's probably like "Geez, why didn't we do this a long time ago? Like during one of the many times our console was struggling to find an audience and a hit movie might have driven sales on top of picking up the slack in revenue?"

I've heard the PC port of that game is horribly optimized, so it'll double as a good benchmark if nothing else. :P

And the thing is, we were all totally fine with it when they were mostly on our side.

What the actual hell.

Nah, if there's even the slightest chance of actually getting hurt, they're not going to risk it. That's how the real cops operate, and they're officially tasked with protecting and serving the public. Buncha rent-a-cops just there to collect a paycheck aren't going to be any braver.

How much you want to bet the Pinkertons refuse to even operate in any of those states?

Oh, have the trials started already? I had assumed not from the lack of headlines about him being charged with perjury.

I heard people bringing up the Pinkertons lately, and I assumed it was like... metaphorical? Like "the modern-day equivalent of the Pinkertons"? But no, apparently the actual OG thugs-for-hire organization is still in business and still being employed to do jive that even American police won't...

To be fair, that prediction for 2022 might have been directly responsible for decent people realizing they need to get out and vote. In fact, that sort of thing probably happens a lot. Humans are heisenbergian; observing them changes the results you get.

Why did you word it that way? Fox News cannot, legally, dictate where an ex-employee can and cannot get another job.

The Fantastic Beasts movies have so far shown that it's too hard for anyone WarnerMedia cares to hire.

It was inevitable. First Photobucket, then ImageShack, now this; it's amazing it didn't happen a long time ago. We had plenty of time to recognize that our collective dependency on a single third-party site that was providing a free service with no strings attached was a bad idea and take steps...

I decided to get back into Demon's Souls before the hot weather takes over and makes me nervous about running the ol' PS3. I managed to beat the Flamelurker, finally unlocking the ability to craft boss weapons. Not that I was really interested in any because I'm playing a Temple Knight and...

I find it interesting that the Post Office will no longer make "special accommodation" for people who don't want to work Sundays, but they did make a "special accommodation" to a gigacorporation to deliver packages on Sundays, breaking a tradition of not operating on Sundays that had been in...

I will admit there's potential there, because of the burning question of not why Slytherin was such a scumbag (remember, he didn't just "hate" muggle-borns; he actively plotted their eventual genocide with the whole "heir of Slytherin" business), but why the other three were willing to work with...

The sheer amount of stuff they recreated shot for shot makes some of the more drastic changes all the more baffling. Also, the giraffe thing was my favorite moment in the game specifically because of how it was presented to me. I didn't have a PS3 at the time and wasn't necessarily inclined to...
