  • Their response admitted that they did not send the same email to their German customers as they knew if would be offensive.

    So why send it to everyone else in the world who is also offended by nazis? And why send those two runes side by side? There’s only one meaning in that choice. Both decisions show intent, not a little mistake.

    Saying it was a mistake or a poor decision ignored the several points where people could have (should have) stopped the email from going out.









  • HL 2 released over 20 years ago. In that time there have been multiple spinoff games, comics, fan theories, convention panels, and interviews that have added to the ‘lore’ of the series.

    Consolidating all of that work from different authors, and requiring it to please fans who have grown up playing the original games and internalised its story is not an easy task. You can’t tell me that there wouldn’t be some ‘1/10 unplayable’ controversy because the writers forgot that Gordon wipes back to front and that’s integral to the 2003 arg web-blog backed fanon that his stank balls are what will defeat the Combine.

    I do not blame the guy for not wanting to put himself through the trial-by-neckbeard.


  • Uses:

    • Pregnant women who would like a sugar-free cola beverage but can’t consume large amounts of caffeine.
    • People with anxiety, insomnia, or other conditions that are worsened by caffeine who would like a sugar-free cola beverage.
    • Anyone who would like a sugar-free cola beverage without caffeine?

    Mind your own and let people enjoy their lives (and their sugar-free cola beverages).




  • While I agree with your point hat parents need to shoulder a lot more of the responsibility, there is a huge difference between the internet of today and the internet of even 10 years ago.

    I grew up online and turned out fine, but I also didn’t have my entire digital identity tied into several social media sites whose only purpose is to make money out of my existence with predatory practices. I didn’t grow up in a world where all communication happened through these sites, and not being on them restricted my access to real world people and businesses. I didn’t grow up in a world where YouTube specifically and deliberately fed me dangerous content in a steady stream because foreign weirdos gamed the algorithm. Sure, I saw the odd beheading video but those links usually came from a real human being.
