Sure, just like there were people drooling over those stupid NFT cartoons a couple of years ago. Doesn’t mean they’ll ever appeal to normal people.

But then you’d have an inarguable housing crisis staring Congress in the face, and they might actually have to *GASP* solve it. Maybe by throttling the extent to which PE firms can own livable space as an investment category.

The U.S. needs workers to grow the economy and take care of our aging population. The answer is staring us right in the border. Just let these people in, and then put them to work and tax them. Oh noes, too many undocumented aliens in the U.S.??? Fuckin’ give them documents. This shit isn’t rocket science.

The problem with trying to be fair and see things from both sides is that it doesn’t work when one side is already full-on blaming the other side based on pure lies.

The irony with these chuds is they always seem to invoke Christianity and Jesus as the basis for their “family values”, and they get it completely wrong.

I wish more people realized this. Presidents don’t just flip a switch and the economy is fixed. They do a bunch of shit and pass it off to the next president to deal with. Obviously that is a huge oversimplification, but my point is that i wish more people looked at things more than surface-deep

I have a pizza place that I like that looks like it hasn’t been touched since the 70's. It has some of the best pizza ever and it is consistently busy. No one gives a shit about the decor.

We’ve reached a point in the games industry where trends are moving faster than development cycles, and the results are calamitous.

A smart exec would say, “Hey, this is popular in this moment and won’t be by the time we’re done, so maybe we should make something different.” But then again, when was the last time you heard about an executive that could see past the next fiscal quarter?

It’s basically like opening a restaurant now. Most of them are going to fail in that first year, but investors are going to blindly hope and invest that their product is the one that will break through.

The best thing about The Crow was the soundtrack album.

And there it is.
you’re calling theft “progress” and scams “progress”. And you’re shrugging off the very serious negative parts of these things, and the very negative uses for them, because then you get to play pretend.

Just a heads up: when you “create” something with the AI? you’re not creating anything. you’re…

But...dude, c’mon, if an organizer is going to pay an actual artist for their work, and not just slap some words into a generator and call it a day, it stands to reason that said organizer is going to put that effort into other areas of the show.

If you’re not buying your kids the battlepass do you even really love them?

Our economy is dependent on the myth of unlimited growth.

100%. I work for a fortune 500, and it is the same cycle every time. Our economy is dependent on the myth of unlimited growth. When you lay off all of these people, it frees up reporting cash for shareholders to see. Which means when they actually do have growth, they will need to re-hire anyways and have massive…

It seems like it’s mostly handled by poor Prior, following the paper trail on who was paying for Tsalal.
