Mass Effect players know and expect that players will have their own version of the main character with different genders. Nobody has that expectation about the Legend of Zelda.

Why is that? Males have poor taste in role models?

An X is also a commonly accepted way to select a checkbox though. The only sure way to indicate a checkbox as not selected is to leave it empty. That's the true opposite, and actually does work.

Companies get cheap labor and foreign workers get great opportunities. Protectionism may appear to help local workers in the short term but it will damage the entire country in the long term.

Sure, but my point was that in the meantime, payments aren't actually higher, which is what was originally asserted. IOW, the average citizen such as myself isn't materially affected by this ballooning debt.

But even eliminating the wars, spending is higher than revenue. And historically, we can see that the government does not finance its spending with revenue, it does so with borrowing, and it pays back its loans with more borrowing. Lower sp

If you believe that the US government determines the tax rate based on anything remotely related to the amount that it spends, I just don't know what to say to you. Did your taxes really increase by 11% when the wars started?

Yes, who wouldn't count aspergillosis as an upside of taxis? If I don't have enough fever and lung bleeding, I'm just not happy .

The wars we are currently in have not affected me one bit, except perhaps by adjusting prices for various goods by slim amounts that I can afford to ignore. Most people are like me. Saying that wars will affect all of us and our children as

Sure, there are other boards, but /b/ is bigger than all of them combined, and is the primary reason for 4chan's fame. It's not entirely accurate to assume that they are one and the same, but it's mostly accurate.

Who's to say that 4chan users, too, are not simply motivated by instinct, knowing neither malice or conscience?

Can anyone repost the info for those of us who can't (or prefer not to) visit 4chan at work?

I have no idea. If the state is the customer, who is running the prisons? (And why are prisons allowed to be run by a non-state entity?)
19.
by 3143 14y ago
There are stories all the time about prisons being run for profit. If the prison industry is profitable, perhaps it can be made profitable enough to pay for more courts as well. More prisons would of course be a net gain rather than a loss.

You still haven't shown that overincarceration is actually a problem in any meaningful sense. The solution could just as easily be to open more courts.

Unless you are going to be taking children away from their parents and raising them in creches, the success of children will always be determined by their parents. And that's a good thing. There is nothing wrong with a class system if it st

Those arguments are typically made from the wrong perspective. It's just so common that if you don't do it, your product will be perceived as insecure. And as long as actual security is not horrible, the perception of security is what drive

It's so that you can remote wipe your own devices if you lose them, in case you have sensitive data on them. For example, my employer requires that you enable this feature if you want to get your work email on your phone.

The commenters are most likely Gizmodo readers who dislike his articles.

by 3143 14y ago
He's a writer for Gizmodo who was already widely disliked. That's why so many people are posting such mean comments.
