    WTF Humble Bundle?! "Indie" my ass.

    I'm boycotting EA. Mostly because their limits on my ownership rights are unacceptable. Their aims to disable me from reselling games (firstly with invasive drm, then with online pass, now with origins) go against my fundamental rights as their customer making every deal I, and all other...

    How is the American War for Independance taught in the UK?

    Really, I'm wondering how the American War for Independence is taught in the US if you sincerely believe it was such a deciding point with regards to imperialism and colonization.

    Tattoos...

    You can do it before, just make sure to not show it until you have a permanent rather than flex contract, or, if you are fired, try and get them to say it was about the tat, then you can claim reparatory damages/get the firing annulled. I'd much rather have a light dropped on me than tat a...
