“You wrote this as if you’re doing these men a favor.”

Yeah, this hypothetical story makes no sense at all. It’s gibberish. It’s like these people haven’t ever played a game, or didn’t understand how they work, or didn’t think about this for more than 10 seconds, or something.* I keep trying to “fix” their hypothetical in my head, so it makes sense, but there’s just too…

you’ve got a shiny new piece of tech that can replace a centralized database with an environment-destroying decentralized blockchain

“Because your Mario is an NFT, he’s impossible to duplicate. You and you alone own him. And because you own Mario, your go-kart is always better and faster than the ones piloted by other familiar faces in the Mushroom Kingdom like Luigi, Toad and Princess Peach.”

It’s not even they’re obfuscated by wealth, haves and have-nots, really. They’re just obfuscated by the understanding that, eventually, at some point, for a business to be successful, it needs to have a product that a customer is interested in purchasing.

Where does this friend live. He sounds like he loves to just throw money off the roof of his house and I would like to set up camp there for a couple of weekends. 

Of course it’s not great for me to comment since I have never slept a single night in an RV, camper trailer or van in my life, but having been in the construction industry and focusing very much on the issues of air quality and health (typically from fungus), moisture control, insulation and overall longevity of…

It’s not really about deaths at amusement parks. It’s about park history.

Pretty sure the few shreds of self-esteem I have left would be gone within the first hour. Thank god I know zero Peloton instructors.

Can we find some more nuanced way of discussing this? Can we acknowledge that it is important and right for Biles to look after her mental and physical health, while also acknowledging that what happened to day was not, in fact, “worth celebrating?” It is unfortunate that she was unable to complete the competition and…

Why the hate? Someone’s gotta fork over the big bucks if our governments won’t. Let the Bazillionare Space Race commence, and godspeed, I say. We’ll get some actual technological advancements that will further mankind’s journey into the cosmos, while also having a chance to witness some one-percenter explode on…

Some PED history: 

The fact that this is immediately after the part where they say it’s banned because it can cause slow reaction times and poor executive function is really something. Yeah, slow and stupid sounds like a really enhanced performance.

You had one job, Covid!

Right then, Redfield knew it was over. Trump showed in that moment that he hadn’t changed at all. The pandemic response wasn’t going to change, either.

The original quote is “ The customer is always right in matters of taste.”

On the other hand, Megan Rapinoe will get a chunk of cash out of VS on its way down, and good for her.

It’s not that they don’t get it.  It’s that they don’t WANT to get it ... because that would require them to behave like a dignified professional at all times, and if they wanted that, they’d have gone into the private sector instead of academia.

Well, in fairness to the designers...

You don’t really need to be able to easily/quickly tell the difference between 5mph and 15mph. If you’re where that kind of speed is appropriate - for example a parking lot - then speed limits don’t really apply (despite whatever signage the business puts up) and what you really…

Caitlyn becomes sports star and then (checks notes) spends 39 years sitting on her ass in a mansion living the high life. Yeah, she’s qualified as far as Republicans are concerned.
