Why are so many people assuming that US law should be universal? It is literally the court of a sovereign country who decided that something should be legally enforced, therefore it is the law of the land.
You can argue ethics, but you can't argue legality, because that's up to Germany to decide from themselves. Maybe to them a woman's right to privacy is considered more important than the man's desire to possess her.
Neither of the women have said that Assange raped them. They had a grievance with him allegedly deceiving them and his sexual health and wanted a court-ordered test performed on him. The prosecutors then leapt on the issue, bumped it up to rape, hoping that he could then be passed on to their friends in the US.
Exactly. It's like claiming that a business has no right to demand your access card and equipment back if they decide to let you go. Whether you retain 'naked rights' in photo or video after the relationship ends is entirely up to the person in them. You've been granted no right to perpetual possession. It's an informal agreement based on context and can quite rightly be revoked at any time. I'm amazed he dragged his heels for so long. Probably has major issues with control and couldn't handle being told what to go by a woman and decided to try to embarrass her.
Popular vote (Proportional representation) wouldn't work in the UK simply because of our population distribution. The number of people living in London is almost equal to the number of people living in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. So the wishes of one city in a heavily urbanised area would sway public policy almost as much as the wishes of three entire countries/provinces in (mostly) rural areas.
It's lasting in my country. I probably throw TBs at mine every month and I've never been shaped, capped or told to slow down. Guess that unregulated free market isn't working out so well for you.
It's a 'right' that nobody in the UK wants. In fact we ourselves petitioned the government to ban handguns and the like because we considered the right to life as more important than the right for gun companies to make a profit.
I think that consoles do need to bear in mind that the are no appealing to the PC gaming market. One thing I love about my PS4 is that it can go inside a tiny cabinet, I only need two wires to power it and connect to my television and controllers never need wires because I use a charging dock. It's the tidiest console I've ever owned, and as such, it can stay in my front-room. My PC, on the other hand, is relegated to a back room where it has almost a hundred cables from the various NAS drives, routers, ext HDDs, iPhone docks, USB hubs, and battery chargers for my various wireless devices. So if I have guests, it never comes into the equation.
Regarding the cost of delivery for the game distributors, you are indeed right, which is why I find their pricing in the UK so bizarre. For instance: I went out to a supermarket and bought Until Dawn for £42. Obviously I got the disc, packaging and an unlockable scene for that price. Then I log on to the PSN store, and they're trying to sell the same game for £50, only with no physical product whatsoever. Truly strange.
So they decided to scrub the data of females on the site because... reasons?
Then they decided to leave in the data of men looking for other men in countries where homosexuality's actually punishable by death...?
Exactly. Most of Europe is (or at least was, until the neoliberals started getting into power) built on a foundation of socialism. There is a belief here that services which are for the public good and supply the needs (not wants) of people should not be for-profit. Therefore we have healthcare, emergency services, post, some countries have public transport and so forth which are operated by the state, for the people, and not for shareholders.
"Gamergate was originally about ethics in video game journalism."
So why did the 'movement' not exist until a complete nobody of an ex-boyfriend posted entirely fictitious and horrific accusations against his ex-girlfriend? Why was there never a mention of such issues before the accusations of her 'whoring around'? Did the issue not exist before those made up allegations?
It made perfect sense. If you have a set of scales, and one side has 6kg on it and the other has only 500 grams on it, which course of actions results in both sides measuring equal amounts: (1) Adding 5.5kg to both sides, or (2) adding 5.5kg to only the disadvantaged side?
It's not 'the narrative', it's the facts. The only people who believe the whole 'ethics in journalism' shtick are the gamergaters themselves. And she's right, it's like saying 'well I'm kinda neutral in the whole issue of driving while intoxicated.' If you're neutral, then your passivity is aimed at maintaining the status quo and allowing the lives lost on the road to continue.

I'm surprised that he even needed to go to court for this. If an ex- asks you to delete photos and videos, you delete them.
You know what the worst thing about being a slave is? They make you work all day but they don't pay you or let you go.
Haven't PETA got kittens and puppies to kill? Those dumpsters don't fill themselves!

As the saying goes: all men are equal, but some are more equal than others.
It's the 19th century newspaper tax all over again!

Where are all the good babies with guns to stop this plague of bad babies with guns?
Yes, but it wasn't so much America going 'they have them, we have to stop them' so much as it was 'we have them, and we really wanna use them'.
Those weren't exactly WMDs. It took tens of thousands of them to do severe damage.
If a supposedly qualified teacher cannot work out what a simple device built by a child is... there's a major problem right there.

FF7r isn't due out this year. It was announced as entering production earlier this year. It could be anything from 2-5 years before it's released.

In other news, screaming into someone's ear when they're not expecting it might just make them jump.
