That you don't find the things Trump has done unethical is a bit disturbing. I hope, for both our sake, that whoever is elected president doesn't screw things up so much that they can't be repaired in four years when, hopefully, a more sane candidate will be on the opposing side.
If we're going to judge a site by a portion of it's users, what do we say about certain Slashdot users and their toxic posts?
As with any other site, 4chan has some problem posters, but it's also where I go to get ideas for the D&D campaign I run, where I discuss the TV shows I'm interested in, and where I get help with issues with my gaming computer. The vast majority of the site contains civil (though not always interesting) discourse. The biggest issue I run into is when someone asks repeatedly for the source of an image when it's listed in the filename or the bottom corner of the image I posted.
Am I? No. But with regards to paid transportation, the market for private transportation services may not be there in ten to twenty years for non-smart phone users.
If a person can't afford a smart phone, they're probably not taking a taxi or uber. They're taking a public transportation like I do for my daily commute to work.
While I appreciate your conviction for not purchasing a phone for privacy concerns, you have to understand you are a minority in this day and age, and a shrinking one at that. Not every private service will cater to you.
Sounds like a good idea, but it will not net you the change you want. All this would result in is a disclaimer at the bottom of the trailer informing viewers that the trailer is not based on the final product. That disclaimer would just as easily make things worse because it would give advertisers more leeway to put things in their trailer that aren't in the movie.
To use the same car analogy, in most car commercials, there is a disclaimer at the bottom explaining that the features they're talking about are only available in the super special addition which costs significantly more and not in the car available for the "starting price" on the screen.
I've wondered this myself, but several sites - including Wikipedia which states "The United Kingdom (UK) comprises four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland." - all disagree with you.
Agreed. I encourage folks to check out Rocket Jump's video Why CG Sucks (Except it Doesn't). If you don't, here's the short version: we don't notice the good digital effects because they're so good or so subtle. We usually only notice the bad stuff.
If someone maintains that their ex-partner was willing for the photos to be used after the end of the relationship, that consent would still have to be proven, according to the new ruling, Ms Weber argued.
The difference here would be a contract. The film makers can prove they own the works of art. My guess is that the gentleman in the featured article could not.
Is the "us" in your statement referring to dickheads, people who break shit, people who inflate their own egos, or people who circle jerk? Or are you, as I suspect, all four?

Day one patches are a thing, even on consoles. Should they be? No. But they are.
There does seem to be a reliance on day one patches, but I think you're making the problem out to be worse than it is. Plenty of games were shipped with game crippling bugs before the last few generations of consoles: from ET to Superman 64. And the complexity of games has only increased dramatically.
Additionally, just because a game company can update their game doesn't mean they can do it cheaply. Up until 2013, Microsoft charged thousands of dollars to certify a patch for a 360 game.
I don't know what the GP was talking about. I've played most of the triple-A games that have come out this year and haven't seen any in-game ads. As the AC pointed out, Burnout Paradise had in-game billboards for real businesses, but as long as it doesn't break the immersion, that's fine with me. It's not like we're talking about having to sit through a commercial while a level loads up.
Just a minor correction: Activision Blizzard bought King. Blizzard make very few games and is not afraid to cancel a game that doesn't live up to their standards while Activision pumps out sequel after sequel and does its best to capitalize on whatever is popular at the moment. I'm not saying Blizzard is infallible, but the decision to overspend on King strikes me as more of an Activision decision.
Lacking robust content doesn't make it a turd; it just falls shy of my expectations of a $60 game. I purchased it despite knowing it had limited content because it serves as a nice change of pace from the other game I'm playing right now. Plus, the lack of gore makes it a nice shooter that I can play with my 12 and 8 year old niece and nephew.
Without some nice, free content, I doubt I'll still be playing it in three months. But I can say that about a lot of games I own.
As a Massachusettsian, I agree that those of us who get regular snow and ice in the winter have some crazy potholes, but this isn't one of those topics were we need to compare who has it worse. Whether its a crack big enough to screw up your alignment or a pothole in which the entire front end of your car sinks, it sucks and it should be fixed before some of these other projects go live.
I've certainly had those types of campaigns. The simplest answer is that being a good Game Master can be a lot more work than people realize. Managing players with different concepts, playstyles, and expectations is a skill that a GM has to develop. But it's one that even a mediocre GM like myself can find useful, especially when dealing with office politics as an adult.
What you have to remember here is that Her Majesty's Gov't especially Theresa May and David (Knob in a Pig) Cameron can't even spell "internet" let alone being able to draft any coherent legislation to control the Internet.
But isn't that the scary part? Here in the US, are legislators aren't tech people either. When they write bills, the CIA, NSA, and others that have tech people get to say what they're doing is legal because the legislators didn't know enough to say it should not be.
I'm not a nutritionist, but from what I've read and watched, very little food at the grocery store does not contain sugar (or corn syrup).

It's more than simple signs. There's a Radiolab episode of the effects of laughing where they interview people who are hired to laugh in a studio audience.
Did people read a different article than I did? The linked article says the following:
"We also have some great family films coming your way, including Minions, Hotel Transylvania 2, and Home through arrangements with Sony Pictures Animation, Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation. Starting next year, we will be the exclusive US pay TV home of the latest theatrical movies from the The Walt Disney Company, including Pixar, Lucasfilm and Marvel movies. The majority of these films will arrive on Netflix faster than traditional arrangements had previously allowed."
I lose movies like World War Z and Transformers and gain access to the libraries of Disney and Sony? So long, Epix.

Similarly, Sony recently tried to trademark "Let's Play". Like the Fine Brothers, however, they appear to be much too late.

That's an inspiration for us all.
