Maybe management ‘systems’ that foster and heavily rewards sociopathic behaviors aren’t really so great as a long-term strategy. But, you know, ‘I got me and mine, so fuck you and yours’ didn’t become the American way because people are good at long-term thinking.

What do you mean ‘wish for’ an extinction event? One is happening. Right now.

Well, it was either this, or it was a giant publicity stunt that was worked out and agreed on in contract as part of her being hired. And I couldn’t honestly say which one was more likely, given the level of short-sighted stupidity on display inside Actiblizzard.

What’s the difference between a sociopath and an indifferent algorithm? One of them can *somewhat* be relied on not to act in self interest whenever the opportunity arises.

Reversing course and undoing anything positive over the last century seems to be the primary goal for most ‘conservative’ parties, US and abroad.

To say nothing about melee weapons being made of wet cardboard.

It’d be one thing if most of the union workers got a fair bit of what they wanted, but it sounds like almost nobody got anything of what they wanted, or very little. So what was the point? If the union does this shitty of a job protecting and representing its union members, the union needs new management. Also,…

World leaders be like:

They’ve been quite consistent about rejecting democracy for a while now. This isn’t a recent turn of events.

The only thing we Earthlings need to know about the life of the Sun is that Earth will have long since stopped being habitable by even the most extreme of extremophiles *LONG* before the Sun reaches its ‘old age’ phase. Also, Mars will become habitable, like Earth is(ish) for a while, too.

I’m having trouble determining which ones are the horses and which ones are horse’s asses...

He’s not desperate. That would imply that there’s any danger of losing the case and he’s playing the racist card in the hopes that he can harness the jury’s racism.

If prayer were an effective tool, billions of humans wouldn’t have been sent to an early grave by illnesses and injuries. Newsflash: it isn’t. Prayer is an excuse to do nothing while clinging to the delusion that you’re ‘helping’ when you aren’t helping at all.

Out of curiosity, how is scuzzy math really any different than decades of empty promises and inaction?

The end of this “Climate Meeting” will be the same as the last one — hot air and empty promises, while nothing of substance gets done to deal with the looming apocalypse because:

Any device or peripheral that people want to connect to their Apple devices has to use the Lightning port. The Lightning interface is Apple property. Anyone who wants to use it has to license it from Apple.

We all die. But whether or not any of us will live long enough to reproduce in the semi-near future...that’s an entirely different question. And the answer is looking increasingly grim.
