Large organizations are *RARELY* efficient. At anything. As they grow, it becomes easier and easier to hide inefficiencies, and the ‘value’ of hiding said inefficiencies within the structure of the organization increases. It’s essentially a feedback loop, where both problems continually exacerbate each other. Add with…

Smaller developers don’t have the funds to keep the studio solvent for extended periods of time while they work on their games (particularly since *publishers* often demand the rights before they’ll agree to publish). They have to ‘crunch’ because it’s that or go bankrupt and get nothing from that time at all.

But we let murders, rapists, child molesters, corrupt politicians and businessmen — who destroy AT LEAST as many lives with their shit — off with far lesser sentences. This isn’t ‘the sword of justice’ at work. This is just beating someone to death for the sheer, sadistic pleasure of it.

Once again illustrating that the root of the problem is almost always the people up at or near the top — the people who, in truth, have nothing to do with what a company or business is producing or providing, ie the least useful or valuable part of the company or business, ie its most expendable ‘employees.’

Execs at these major publishers and studios get paid 100-1000 times what the average employee is paid. It definitely has a significant and negative impact, not simply on morale, but on production costs and consumer costs. And if you look at the track record of management and executive decisions, they’re rarely better…

No. It was an illusion from the start. The ‘rules’ of America’s ‘democracy’ were written by wealthy, land-owning, white men for the express purpose of serving the whims and wants of wealthy, land-owning, white men first and foremost. And by some strange ‘coincidence’ it has pretty consistently served and abided the…

There’s some truth to this, but there’s also a cold, hard fact that there’s more and more executive ‘overhead’ being tacked onto these price tags to pay for people who expect more and more while contributing less and less.

MTG, the vile, bloviating, racist bitch, strings together random racist dog-whistle words to form a wishful hope for relevance. So, just your average Republican doing average Republican things.

That being said - EVERYONE SHOULD UNIONIZE.

The two weapons aren’t holstered on the same side of the hip for that reason. They don’t use the same firing safety mechanisms either. She ‘confused’ them the same way someone might confuse Michael Jordan for Gilbert Gottfried.

Proportions aren’t just a matter of height. Leg length to torso length to head size and neck, etc, etc.

It goes deeper than that though. The ‘superman’ body proportions are also part of the armor design, not ‘regular ol’ human’ body proportions. When you ‘scale’ the armor down to fit a regular person, it’s doesn’t quite have the same feel or appearance. At least not without careful framing by the camera (ie, never fully…

Yeah, ie selfishness, ie basic human nature. It wouldn’t have matter how it was ‘constructed.’ The end result is always the same. If nature doesn’t destroy a civilization, we do it to ourselves. The exact same way. Every. Single. Time.

Dowdy *KNOWINGLY* assisted and protected one or more criminals from investigation and prosecution. He is an accomplice after the fact, an accessory to two murders. And unlike the black man who was sent to prison under the same pretenses of being an accomplice for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Dowdy…

Yup. It does seem like the choice is between giving the GOP free use of dynamite to blow up the government, or continue to let them use jackhammers and wrecking balls to tear it all down.

Indeed. But there’s no way to fix this. Even if she’s successful in her attempts to punish a rabid racist piece of trash, it’ll be a pyrrhic victory. The GOP is only a hair’s breadth away from weaponizing it against the Democrats, and are only too eager to do so. At which point they won’t have to ‘seize’ the…

Once again proving it’s true:

The Schizophrenic, Psychotic States of America

While certainly the most obvious point of contention, some people’s facial structures do lend themselves to an ‘unnatural’ stillness. Have you ever watched Peter Cushing speak? The *real* Peter Cushing, closely, from the original film? He speaks, but parts of his mouth and cheeks don’t move.

There’s a word specifically for these people: misogynists. Sometimes they call themselves incels, but there’s nothing involuntary about their celibacy. Choosing to be toxic garbage is most definitely voluntary.
