It’s a funny case where it was pretty widely panned by diehard fans of the previous games, but it was extremely popular with basically everyone else. So there was a very vocal minority who shat on the game right after it released. But it hit a broad enough audience that the new/casual players overwhelmed the diehard fans.

Bioshock Infinite is basically the Fallout 4 of Bioshock games. If you played Fallout 4 first, you’d probably think it’s a great Fallout game. The gameplay is decent, you have roleplay choices for the story, there is lots of world building, etc… But if New Vegas is already your favorite game, you probably hated FO4 for not being enough Fallout. It doesn’t mean people enjoying FO4 are wrong. It just means the game didn’t deliver what existing fans were hoping for.

This isn’t even sarcasm or a conspiracy theory. This was literally why the Feds started the war on drugs. There are records of officials talking about it, and they outright state that it was started because they wanted to criminalize historically black behaviors. Because they could then use that to target black communities.

Most of the time, it needs to be a felony. Shoplifting diapers isn’t a felony. They may try to throw some sort of “she made the officers fear for their lives by driving away from them” BS at her to charge her with a felony assault… But just the shoplifting wouldn’t be enough for those laws to apply.

And she shoplifted diapers. Here’s a reminder that if you see someone shoplifting essentials like food or diapers, no you fucking didn’t.

Post game titles, users name the game they want in the comments. You PM the code, then respond in the comments with some sort of “PM sent” response so other users can see it was already claimed. It avoids the bots automatically claiming them, but is a lot more work on your end.

It’s because the default wheels are made for rolling on office carpet. The super tight weave with zero pad underneath (usually using carpet tiles that can be easily replaced in the event of stains), which is the go-to for corporate settings. It sucks to roll on anything besides that, because the wheels aren’t designed for it.

I think it was the exact opposite. It sounds like they were saying she didn’t require redemption, because she hadn’t done anything worthy of scorn. Basically, having revenge porn leaked isn’t something people should be shamed over, and suggesting that it requires “redemption” is inherently based in slut-shaming and misogyny.

Motorcycle Club. It’s the “friendly” name for a biker gang. MCs swear up and down that they’re not gangs, because anti-gang laws allow authorities to take all kinds of extra gang busting measures against them that normally wouldn’t be allowed. It’s the biker gang equivalent of “we’re not a pyramid scheme, it’s multi-level marketing!”
