I suppose this “loophole” was intentional.

(Disclaimer: the previous statement was made based on nothing but cynicism and decades of reading the news.)

Consider this the next time you see an article about declining birth rates.

I have no soldering skills or interest in Pokemon. The only reason I’m giving you that background to emphasize that I’m proud of you, too!

Heads up - Lemmy has the hiccups again. Your comment posted twice.

Points for the wrecked ISDs.

Last resort band-aids like this are a natural outcome when classrooms are overcrowded and schools are underfunded. I don’t approve of it, but when funding for better solutions has been cut, what are teachers supposed to do? Let one child disrupt the education of the 29 other kids in the classroom?

I’ve seen too much news involving cowardice and hypocrisy. It’s nice to see someone take a principled stand.

Does EA own any other companies/brands that we should be aware of?

It’s not an unreasonable idea. The parents should absolutely be held liable.

Exact responsibility would be virtually impossible to prove, though. Even a lawyer who graduated at the bottom of their class from a terrible law school could easily defend the accused parents.

“Religious freedom” doesn’t give people the right to endanger public health.

What determines what “too big” is?

Ease of travel and speed of travel. Even a small map can feel cumbersome, repetitive, and boring. If the missions are designed poorly, and the game mechanics ignore an entertaining user experience, walking down the same hallway a thousand times can feel like a chore.

I’m watching a friend play it on Twitch right now

This, people. THIS is how you design a coin.

Lots of dead birds/banana peels/whatever on the ground. The Tour de France is an internationally televised event! Do some track prep, folks!

Huh. I think he’s got some good arguments. I wish him luck!

I hate to hurt the people, the workers who aren’t supportive of what Trump’s doing, but we had to take a stand," he said.

This considerate, thoughtful couple are exactly the sort of people that workers in customer-facing positions enjoy providing service to. Guests who are just there because of cut rates and other discounts are often the most difficult and least reasonable.

“I will never apologize for refusing to give hate a platform.” Feel free to use that, Steven Guilbeault. No charge.

*I apologize if Steven Guilbeault is the wrong person. I can’t read French.

Read comments from your audience and reply to them. People are more likely to feel welcome and stick around if they’re included. Ask your audience questions. At the same time, don’t be upset if people don’t answer. A lot of the time, people just watch a stream as background noise. Or they’ve gone to the bathroom, or they’re making themselves a snack, or whatever.

This infuriates me

Canadians, if Trump thinks you’re being “nasty”, then you’re on the right track.
