    - You mean if you don't do what your boss tells you to do there could be consequences??? - Cuzzin Todd Nov 1, 09:20 12
      - if you think it was only a sports website you weren't paying attention. doubly so if you bought it thinking that. -- nm - mafic Nov 1, 10:08 2
        
        But, when I buy it, if it isn't a sports website, I can make it one. Even if it sold shoes before. Look, I'm not saying this was well handled. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 1, 10:22
        
        They actually lied about the types of readership to say sports are the most popular articles - Will Hunting Nov 1, 10:17
      - Everything I read say it never was a sports site though, not even close. - ty97 Nov 1, 09:22 8

        You mean if you don't do what your boss tells you to do there could be consequences??? - Cuzzin Todd Nov 1, 09:42 5
        
        From what I understand, it's more like a big mall getting sold, and the owners saying "everyone needs be a shoe store." - JaxSean Nov 1, 10:16
        
        when all of your employees quit I'd say it speaks far more to poor management. -- nm - mafic Nov 1, 10:11

    - Longer version - Beryllium Nov 1, 09:16 5
      - I'd insert the owners adding Automatic video play ads when you went in an article as well. That seemed to set the tone of employer vs employees -- nm* - Boooker Nov 1, 09:49 4
        
        vs employee and readers as they caught a shit ton of flak over that -- nm - Boooker Nov 1, 09:50 3

        Okay. Can God time travel? -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 09:31 1
        
        God isn't a physical manifestation, so God doesn't need time travel. - Bery Delecto Nov 1, 09:44
        
        Exactly. Prayer for wisdom and guidance and such. I have no issue with it. -- nm - Baron Witch Project Nov 1, 08:57 1

      - I have the reactor its the wiring where i havent figured it out -- nm - eag Nov 1, 08:51 1
        
        Yeah, just go into the build menu ("Z" on PC I think) and one of the items you can build is "Wiring". If you don't have it you can get the blueprint - kilboooooo Nov 1, 08:54
- This seems in line with other reviews I'm seeing. Epic. Boring. -- nm - Mop Nov 1, 07:59 2
