  • Technically, no. In fact, if you want to be a stickler for details, it was actually 8 sentences, not five, and it was absolutely longer than a minute, but I encouraged the class to help him. It’s a 1-2 week ESL program in the Mediterranean, and he was an Italian 12 year old who likely signed up for girls on beaches than speak English. The Italian government is apparently paying students’ ways into programs like the one I teach at in order to improve general English proficiency across the country, so we end up with a lot of kids who just come to party.







  • The facts could be there, but people have good reason to be reluctant to go looking for them. Kids are dumb. They do stupid things all the time when there’s nobody there to tell them how stupid and dangerous it is. Their brains soak up as much as possible, and when they hit puberty, their brains start sloughing off what it thinks is excess, and suddenly they think it’s a good idea to ride a bike off a waterfall or some shit. Secretly opening an onlyfans for stupid easy money from pervs seems hardly a stretch to me if you knew you could avoid being caught.







  • Horizon is like Sony’s test franchise. First Sony franchise on a Nintendo system (lego), the game they bundled with PS5s, the only first party game on VR2 right now (and bundled with that as well), one of the first games on PC, one of the biggest AAA titles to be thrown into the subscription service, and now it apparently had a TV series that just got canned…

    Funny thing is that I doubt it actually has the kind of draw that Sony just assumes it does. They’re great games, but I’m not going to pay into new hardware or services just to get more of it.

    Isn’t one of the new CEOs from Guerrilla Games?
