But it's not Innocent until Proven Guilty anymore. It's not even Guilty until Proven Innocent.

Current climate is: Guilty until we can no longer libel you as guilty, but 'it probably could have happened anyway'. Just check out the turn-around the media and people did after that fraternity thing.

Doesn't even need to be blind, a degree of vision loss can suffice for relying on audio cues as assistent.

It's also extremely helpful for that moment between "I looked left, I looked right, but when I took a step, some guy turned the corner without looking... but the noise made me pause and look left again". The noise also helps detect the idling car versus the parked car... for when they shoot out without bothering to look, you at least had them assessed as a potential threat before time.

Ditto. You weren't eligible for the bus if you lived within a mile, so you walked. Or biked. School yard had a tonne of bike racks filled, even in winter. Not a bike helmet to be seen (what do you think you're riding, a motorbike?). To think, all this time we were neglected abused children.

*innocent look* it's always great to tell the rest of the raid that you died decimating the room.

By appeasement of course! And apologising for them. And victim blaming. I'm sure *this* time they'll be happy and stop.

You don't surf much do you? That doesn't even rate a 2 on the scale. Honestly, lines like "I know every female dev in the industry" or "I am journalism" are waaaaaay higher.

Thus spake Mr. Coward.

Btw bonus irony points for saying 'famous dude' instead of a name or title =P

And referring to elected officials as 'head chimp' 'bumbling apes' and for forth is old as well. Just because the current president is black doesn't mean 'oh shit what we've meant for decades is suddenly something else!'. What's next, having to rename 'towel boys' the moment a Shikh gets the job?

Except... we do that. The majority of Americans have not bombed a foreign country, wiretapped, whatever. Cue the cries of that though, whenever almost anything regarding the United States comes up. Reverse that with Muslims and bombings. Humans just love to blame the whole for the actions of a subset of the whole, regardless of their ability to control them, or their relationship with them.

Anyway, it isn't like business don't do separations like that just to sever themselves from the actions of their compartments...it's like bulkheads on a ship. Some accountability should slip up the chain regardless (though not laterally, sure).

Even anon posters on slashdot! *nods*

Well if your kink is ants, gamergate could be something fun for you...

Pretty much this. To be honest, even if someone were was living with and screw and getting supported by the person being reviewed, I wouldn't give a damn as long as was a fair review and it was disclosed. Like that Christian reviewer thing "A 8 for controls, a 7 for graphics, 8 for plot for a technical 8... and a -5 for sacrificing babies to Satan, for a weight score of 5.5"

Amusing how the journo sites suddenly were mostly 'all from promotion team' adverts when forced to disclose.

But I thought the mantra was supposed to be 'listen and believe'?

Unless of course, this is going to be a shitty movie, and they are counting on a combination of Streisand Effect and patriotism to drum up sales.

Maybe, but also was stated to 'get over it, put the rock down, God will deal with it, not you'. Not to take matters in your own hands. Did say to pack a sword in self-defence though, I think. One of the later parts when going out being preachy was on the to-do list.
