To me, an outsider, I've seen the timelines from the people that hate Zoe indicate that she broke up with her boyfriend, then started dating a journalists (who had never reviewed her games) and never even mentioned them after the second relationship started up. There was never the assertion that she slept with both men in overlapping time periods.
I don't really care if people want to sleep around, but christ, she could've at least split up with her boyfriend first or made it clear to him she wanted an open relationship.
All I could find is that the ex was mad she left him. There was no assertion of cheating. That was added later, to help justify the hate. Initially the complaint was about the choice of a new boyfriend (being a journalist). One mad ex made a non event into a huge scandal. The rumour mill made "changing boyfriends" into "sleeping her way up".
it's Zoe's own actions that have created that reality and no one elses.
Had her ex not lied to get back at her for not sleeping with him anymore, this would never have happened. He's the one that created this, nobody else.
Look up what she did to the FYC; no "alleging" - she freely admits to what she did.
You should include some cites. When I did some quick searches, I found Quinn hating sites that mentioned sabotage of FYC, and her sleeping her way through the industry, but nothing that was anything close to fact-based, and no "confessions" about what she did. There was one mention that she did it because she was already working on a competing interest.
So, is competition bad? What did she do? What did she admit to?
I don't believe them. Robots that run in tracks and do the equivalent of a touchless carwash down the entire building would be within the realm of possibility for now. It might not be cheaper, but it'd do the same or better job, compared to a human. High pressure water blasters need a light touch, and work great on the edges.
Google doesn't use the country the IP is assigned to for determining location. They use it as one small part, especially for unknown IPs, but when an IP range is known to them, they use other factors in determining location. You didn't say whether your home or your VPS is showing as Hong Kong. Google would assign a VPS used primarily by people in Hong Kong as being in HK, even if it's known to be within the US. The idea is that presenting results in Chinese.hk would be more useful to the users of that IP than serving up US results in English.
I've had to call up Google and get an IP block reset because it was transferred from one region to another, and the IP location was updated properly, but Google didn't update the IP range in their database until complaints that it's serving up default results from the wrong country.
Most are copyright encumbered. But are made with no money. Fan fiction and the like. Had there been no copyright, they'd be more free to make them. More "free" movies would be made without copyright than are made with it. It's copyright holding back uncopyrighted works.
And when the connected cars get preferential treatment at stop lights, what will you do?
I don't trust you, I don't trust the NSA, I don't trust the state government not to retroactively issue speeding tickets in a revenue-tight year (like they've already proven they will do with EZ-Pass type toll transponders - You know, the ones they promised (just like in TFA) they'd never use for anything other than paying your tolls).
The one near me never did anything like that. But then, they were chartered by the state in law, and it would take a law change to let them do it. The only violations they are able to charge are toll-related ones.
Best Buy isn't the one paying you for the rebate...so how are they supposed to give you the rebate at purchase time?
Sometimes the stores do "instant rebates". I'm not sure if these are store discounts or rebates from the manufacturer where they worked out a real-time rebate system. In the age of computers, why can't the manufacturer rebate you in real-time at the checkout line?
Microcenter will pre-fill your rebate forms and give you an extra receipt--at that point, if you can't be bothered to mail it in, you probably don't care about the money.
They should pass them via API to the rebate server at the manufacturer, and hand you cash, not more paperwork.
There have been a number of "free" movies made, or movies pre-funded by crowdsourced funds. Copyright didn't change whether they would get made. Your argument differs from reality.

USA, where "caveat emptor" applies when you are selling, but not when you are buying.

According to the anti-GG side,
You mean according to the anti-anti-GG side, as that's the only side you are representing, that's the only one you can speak for.
I believe the ex boyfriend, because why the hell would he make it up, and make up the presumed evidence? to ruin her life? why?
Yea, Why? No jilted lover has ever done anything spiteful in revenge, bhy why?
unless he was fucking pissed at her.
Oh yeah, there is that.

when did it become misogynist to attack a female because of the things she's done?
Things she's done, or things that people hate her have accused her of doing? There's a difference.
Nah, Diablo III Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition for the PS3/4 was good day-1. Of course, I skipped the first (at least for the consoles).

We've sold out before, but this time we promise to never to it again. Just don't look at my crossed fingers behind my back.
SJW - and there's no room in a civil society for such an uncivil actor.
Someone who uses SJW as a silencing pejorative? There's no room in a civil society for such an uncivil actor.

Sometimes because it's true. Small businesses with opt-in only newsletters get tagged spam all the time.
the part that I have an issue with is that I have no recourse to have my IP reevaluated.
Ah, you just came here to bitch about it because you are helpless. That's why you are rejecting all the help offered.
And you can't see the obvious fix to that problem?

Yes, because the only way to decline them is to park your car and call the dealer to come tow it away (at your own expense).
Shh, that "hosts" guy will go nuts on you.

"without permission" Now, who read's their car's EULA? It's printed on the inside of the right front tire, and guarded by leopards.
Using the car is agreeing to it.
This has nothing to do with Net Neutrality.
Except this becoming an issue around net neutrality time could result in one of the famous riders that attaches unrelated things.
In many cases, the "purchase price" advertised isn't the amount of money required to walk out of the store with the item. That's fraud.

They DJ in a club.
Because by not paying the artists will get more money?
It'll get them the exact same, and keep more money in your pocket.
