Free speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. If someone advocates for the subjugation of minorities, there should be a line of people waiting to punch that motherfucker in the face.  I don’t know why coddling fascists has come back into vogue, but it’s getting old.

As others have mentioned, the reason why is likely shitty, controlling corporate leadership. Unfortunately, I doubt remote work was a big concern for most folks when the union negotiated their contract pre-COVID, but I bet it will be when negotiations come back around.

There’s a reason there are only two public tunnels in all of Florida, and it’s not because no one thought of it before. It’s because from a climate, weather and geology perspective it’s incredibly difficult and genuinely dangerous.

The fact that SpaceX lands rockets doesn’t mean the Boring Company is a meaningful endeavor. The entire thing is a scam to sell cities on the idea of “what if a subway, but vastly shittier and more profitable for Elon Musk personally?’

Someone else really put it together for me when they pointed out that virtually every other “historical” character in the movie comes off really well, almost inhumanly so given what we know about Roman fucking Polanski. Tarantino even went to the trouble of getting Sharon Tate’s family to sign off on his portrayal of…

I don’t think this article conflates those two concepts, though. The article, aside from its headline (which is perfect, in my opinion) is almost entirely a factual description of fan disappointment and the reasoning behind it. Maybe this is just my reading, but I don’t think the tone is judgmental towards Nintendo,…

Sixt is pretty ubiquitous here in Germany, and I’ve had universally good experiences with them from a customer service perspective. I don’t rent cars often enough to say if they’re the best value for money, but at least they were pleasant to deal with and never screwed me over.

Exciting to see someone else is also pleased with Tesla’s innovation in the field of transportation. Who could have guessed that Musk would figure out a way to avoid surface traffic, moving all those people via semi-autonomous vehicles in restricted subterranean routes. All he has to do now is scale up the concept.…

A ”feature” of late stage capitalism seems to be encouraging fandom or alliance to corporations, and a conflation of what you consume with who you are. For example, during Gamergate, so many people were enraged to have the term “gamer” be besmirched. But the reality is that label has always been reductive and kinda…

Everything. Is. Political. Saying “it’s not political” doesn’t somehow void that, it just means that you are claiming some level of neutrality, which is in itself a political stance.

As I’ve said before, Simone Biles only legitimate competition at this point are the laws of physics.

“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.”

Why would I need a Marauders prequel?  To remind me that James Potter sucks shit and was a bully?

Man, I really don't understand how her marriage works.  Portia de Rossi seems super cool, and Ellen sucks shit.  Must be rough.

A fair point.

What? Why? Are you under the mistaken impression that Elon Musk engineered Tesla vehicles or SpaceX rockets? Positioning him next to brilliant scientists and inventors is ludicrous.  He's not remotely qualified.

He is literally only accomplishing things other people have already accomplished!

Trademarks and copyright are not the same.

There were some very minor changes, some of which I believe were ported back to the earlier games.  But I've been playing through the levels in original order and I think they all hold up beautifully.

Even if this worked as more than a glorified proof of purchase, it still wouldn't be worth the environmental cost of NFTs or the blockchain in general.  It's a bad, stupid way to waste fossil-fuel generated energy, and it's a sign of our societal collapse that no one has banned it yet.
