In a powerful opinion piece in The Washington Post, noted Fordham University theologian

You forgot mocking his opponent for... having a stroke...something only shitty people that murder puppies or cheat on all their wives (even while they're pregnant) would find worthy of mockery.

Yep. Take away abortion rights to kill brown womena and brown babies, and jail the brown men so, if that brown baby is born, it won’t have a father and then they can continue their cries of the “lack of a family unit” in minority communities while Republicans are all off “hiking the Appalachian Trail”.

I hate MBA-speak and it makes job hunting really difficult because I have to read shit like "We're looking for someone that can enthusiastically engineer professional synergy while they assertively incept parallel process improvements".

They want it both ways: claiming to be a victim of the economy while wiping their tears with hundred-dollar bills.

Over the last three years I've abandoned Google completely except for Android. I'd rather pay for products that will be around in 10 years than have to move to some competing product every 3-4 years because Google killed theirs.

Fact is that if the thing they made isn’t lighting up the world it dies in 3-4 years

Not game development, but I had my first encounter with this reality last year. I was asked to do a project. I delivered the project to the boss’s boss’s boss. They shrugged and said “let’s hold off”. This was six months of work met with a ton of unforseen roadblocks.

Google saying they're committed to a product is like a cheating spouse saying they're committed to doing better xD.

They treat everything like a test, and if it doesn’t deliver on whatever key metrics they assign to it, the investment is dropped.

Yout get a tax write-off and you get a tax write-off. Everybody gets a tax write-off!

Failing upward *is* the American dream. Nobody *wants* to work hard.

Not always. Playstation, Game Boy, Game Gear, and GameCube, I think, have been the only game systems that have conveyed what they are in the name. Xbox is about the best you’d expect from a slow, lumbering Titanic with no better strategy than buying the competition like Microsoft.

Exactly. And didn’t they fire a bunch of Stadia people last year? It’s surprising that anyone inside was surprised when all of us plebes outside just kept wondering when it was going to happen. 

Creed was overrated and Creed 2 wasn’t as good. MBJ has done much better movies that could've been listed. Even his short stint in The Wire when he was 14 should rank at the top.

Welcome to the short attention span of the human race.

This isn’t groundbreaking. CoD: WaW, from 2008, did this too. They called it “Boot Camp”. You had to reach level 10 before you could play in any other rooms, and you could no longer play in the “Boot Camp” room once you reached level 10, despite paying $60 (most likely by walking into a physical store :-O) for the…

That’s fucked up. Other than being a minor at the time, I don’t recall much resistance to my getting Accutane. However, I’m also a dude.

It's on TikTok because denying someone medication is bad, but denying it because they "could" get pregnant is a terrifying prescedent that should not exist in the U.S.

This very “Handmaid’s Tale” story is punctuated with her looking like Elizabeth Moss. We are heading straight into a Christo-Fascist future and the only people that have the power to do anything about it aren’t doing nearly enough.
