  I see someone’s never read Luke 3:12

  Sonic is obviously an allegory for the tax collector who gets baptized. Dummy.

  And no I did not just pick a random bible verse and justify it. My uncle is friends with Hideo Kojima, the CEO of Sega

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I looked it up and you are correct about the ratings but I would imagine the downvotes are because of your second sentence - ESRB M doesn’t exactly mean the game is for minors in the same way that AO is only for adults

  Ok so I went digging and found some things. It must not have been ProPublica piece but it WAS widely reported -

  The Consumerist - Ex McDonald’s Employee Sues Because She Doesn’t Want Her Paycheck On A Prepaid Debit Card

  And here’s a followup on the story 2 years later

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Donated” plasma today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, ok. I’m guessing the law is that pay cards can’t be the only option then

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Donated” plasma today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never heard of McDonald’s employees getting paid in preloaded cards, is that true? I know plenty of people do it to avoid taxes but McDonald’s is a major employer and that’s pretty damn illegal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disturbed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps broody was the wrong word - it’s like…a middle schooler’s favorite dark cartoon character.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disturbed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He took a beautiful song and made it broody and corny as fuck. I don’t get the appeal, either.

  And the music video…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kanye West was denied entry to Australia after releasing antisemitic song⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He also said he doesn’t believe the first diagnosis because the doctor is Jewish

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kanye West was denied entry to Australia after releasing antisemitic song⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have never been a fan but I feel like it’s a lot deeper than just craving attention. The dude has serious unchecked mental problems.

  “Source”: My best friend has bipolar and we lived together during many episodes - the similarity is uncanny, minus the bigoted stuff

  Yeah but like what if the ramp went past the exosphere? Drive that rocketship up at 1mph for 100 days and you’ll be in space!

  The same source taught me that cops are good and if that’s true, impromptu gambling must be common

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resurrecting a dead torrent tracker and finding 3 million peers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The whole point of the blockchain is it for it to be traceable, though. There’s only the illusion of anonymity with crypto

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resurrecting a dead torrent tracker and finding 3 million peers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What reason are you referring to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do some fragance reppel bugs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It makes you smell like something poisonous

  If your Nazi landlord put up a sign in the front yard that says “THIS RENTER GIVES MONEY TO NAZIS,” you’d probably want to end your lease, too

  I hope Ukraine’s got another operation lined up for the Kremlin

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BlackRock is Suing UnitedHealth for Giving “Too Much Care” to Patients After the CEO was Murdered⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no reliable evidence to suggest Mr. Mangione killed anyone.

  I’m so sick of everyone making me repeat myself with this:

  Luigi was.

  With me.

  The morning.

  Of the murder.

  He physically could not have committed the crime from another location. We were setting up for our friend’s dad’s birthday party and he was busy getting the balloons ready.

  Not guilty.

  I was subscribed to it the first week it existed so I know that your story is completely fabricated. The origin is even in the subreddit wiki…
