Trump doesn't even have a rapper named after him.

You'd actually be surprised at the recent status of Trump-ICP relations.

Mr. Witt subsequently admitted to accidentally cutting himself with the knife while parked in his car in front of the sporting goods store and admitted making up the story about being attacked," Sheridan police said in their statement.'

He cut himself and invented a story about being attacked by antifa. Dudes 100% a nazi

I think as a general rule that if you falsely accuse someone of a crime you should face the same sentence that the person you accused might have ended up facing, in addition to whatever else you have coming.

Mirror-backwards self-inflicted injuries have tripped up a lot of people. Morton Downey Jr. once claimed he was attacked by skinheads in an airport bathroom who drew a swastika on his forehead. Backwards (Of course, lots of times skinheads are dumb enough to draw them backwards anyway.) There was also a former University of Nebraska basketball player who claimed she was attacked in an anti-gay hate crime, and she got it wrong, too.

Also reminds me of the racist, harassing phone calls that a city attorney kept getting that turned out to be coming from...the city attorney.

Or the assistant professor who claimed he was a victim of anti-Muslim hate crimes.

Or the Jewish guy who spray-painted swastikas onto his own house:

Or the black church in Mississippi that someone set on fire and spraypainted with "Vote Trump." Spoiler: "Someone" was one of the parishioners.

None of these had any person in particular accused, so I think that's going a bit far.

I think the nerve of not getting it just got rubbed raw, after Laidlaw posted something that was basically "this was the plan for resolve the series" recently.

I just don't get why people would be mad. You got a resolution from the former head writer, done in a way without all the stuff you'd inevitably bitch about if it was in game form.

SpacePig posted:

e: Also, of at least minor significance: all of the ones you posted were planned and forethought things. The one posted earlier was a guy who managed to stab himself by mistake, and then decided he would not only post about it on Facebook in the moment, but also blame somebody else for it.

SpacePig posted:

Did they actually announce that Half Life 2 Ep. 3 or Half Life 3 aren't coming? Or is this just shitheads thinking they're being clever or something?

gschmidl posted:

Marc Laidlaw, the former writer, published the plot summary of episode 3 a few days ago, after his NDA expired.

Also why would Valve release a game that cannot please the "fan"base instead of continuing to literally print money with Steam and DOTA?

verymoldy posted:

Is the schadenfreude on me because I can't fathom why someone would play a video game purposefully bad almost every day since the game came out? I understand the impetus for the Hanjo guy to do it, to see what the bottom is like, but why just go out into the wild to gently caress things up? It feels like someone making GBS threads their own pants, then laughing at everyone else because someone just poo poo their pants.

I like this. I think they should do the same with frivolous lawsuits. You'd better win because if you don't and your lawsuit is determined to be frivolous you're going to owe the defendant whatever amount of money you're suing for.

Avenging_Mikon posted:

This is a bad idea, because lawsuits are generally the only recourse a citizen has against a corporation, and you'd usually be suing for amounts that are punitive to a company, but ruinous to an individual so you'd have a chilling effect on people with legitimate grievances who are worried about potential for a frivolousness ruling as it would destroy them.

Jesus. Even in Texas, something this has got to be illegal, right?

I'm confused. Is there something about vending machine water that neccesjtates a higher price? Because the top packs of water look exactly like the ones the sell at CostCo for three bucks.
