You still have to get the job done eventually, either way. They aren’t circumventing that.

But you’re right that it’s how the game itself is supposed to be played.

I don’t understand why you think the Hitman example is cheating. If a person is going into an Elusive Target challenge, scoping things out, and then exiting to craft a strategy without the stress of being in the moment, that just seems like a valid form of gameplay to me. It’s not like they’re finding some way to…

As stupid as the thing was, it was obviously scripted. When they do “Conversation Street,” we are not witnessing an impromptu interaction between the hosts. They’ve rehearsed it, and the beats are inserted for comedic value, or whatever. The point, as far as I can tell, was just to reinforce the dunderheaded,…

but I’ll concede that if this cycle proved anything, it’s that polling is a garbage art

Spend all your energy blaming the Democrat, it’s all her fault.

If you want to cast aspersions, though, cast aspersions on the people in the Democratic party who were secretly (or not so secretly) hoping for a Trump nomination, because they thought he’d be a walkover.* Cast aspersions on the people inside the Clinton campaign that felt that way, and did what they could to amplify…

What’s he “fighting” with this post, though? The implication of the “you’ve been warned” motif is that somehow we’ll deserve what we get if and when we get it. That’s not resistance. It’s sneering resignation.

I think she is trying to distinguish between how she feels about being single (positive) and how society views it (miserable).

If someone reading this gets that the author is either PERFECTLY okay being alone or that she’s just cutting out good advice, they’re looking at things very simplistically. There’s a layer of depth you’re missing.\

If Uber’s goal isn’t/wasn’t to put traditional taxi companies out of business, then they are incredibly stupid. Because that’s what they have to do in order to stop bleeding cash eventually. They must kill off the competition and become indispensable in the area of livery transportation. And they must do it at a large…

$2 billion in loses this year and Uber thinks the best plan is buying more $50,000 self-driving cars rather then retain their cheap, badly paid contract laborers who wear/tear their own vehicles. Spend your way out of debt? I just don’t understand these new companies with books so insanely upside down that investors…

In this case, the market will eliminate Uber.

Yeah, I mean, there’s plenty to be said about the condition of the traditional taxi industry, but the solution to that problem is not for an unscrupulous company like Uber to drop in and “disrupt.” We must remember that it is not Uber’s goal to be the ideal answer to all of the problems with the taxi system, but to…

But for many people, they don’t understand the distinction and will herald the triumph of FF at CES.

But we did it.

Oh fucking please, like they wouldn’t have been delighted to perform for someone like Ted Cruz who, let’s all remember, would have been just as much a disaster, if not more so—in bottom line material terms, as opposed to mere hurt feelings—than Trump stands to be.

Voting without care for your own damn self, because you’re just that dumb.

How do we get evening news to start covering platforms and stop covering scandals?

As terrifying as this whole thing, the schadenfreude I get from seeing supporters’ eyes open about how they were conned has been beautiful. Just beautiful.
