Yup. The time to name names and show that you’re not interested in keeping wealthy douchebags happy was years ago. Had Geoff done it, that would have been something truly noteworthy. This is just piling on because it’s safe.

There are a tragic number of black men and women, young or otherwise, who would still be with us, if not for inexcusably bad police actions (the reasons for which are irrelevant), who *SHOULD* still be with us. And the fact that so many people stand in opposition to stopping this insanity just further compounds the…

“SHE COULD HAVE A GUN! I’M AFRAID FOR MY LIFE!”

That’s America, working as intended...by a legacy of rich, racist assholes who wrote this country’s laws to serve and protect rich, racist assholes above all else.

This is an inaccurate assessment. The ‘aging population’ isn’t the majority of the country’s industry workforce. And the 1-child law has been repealed long enough for them to start rebuilding that workforce, too. So you’d be right in 20-30 years if they never changed directions. But they did. In a big way, and fast.

Much of that is true. Except for one thing: Russia is spiraling into total collapse. They’re not a major player in anything anymore, and never will be again. The country’s leadership has so thoroughly squandered the nation’s wealth that there’s nothing left to reinvest to build it back up again. It’s a stumble away…

The average gamer really isn’t comparable to a competitive one. In the same way that adults who engage in sports for fun on the weekend aren’t generally comparable to professional athletes for those same sports. It’s entirely different level of dedication and engagement.

Not exactly. War, at its extremes, hasn’t changed. It’s still tanks, bombs, aircraft, and people dying, but ‘limited’ warfare has, and that’s most of what happens between major powers these days. If anything, the US’s war in Iraq and Afghanistan are flukes of the changing face of war. Most nations are too…

Because Microsoft learned its lesson with GFWL — leave storefronts and library management to a company invested in making that a good experience for customers — the revenue cut is usually worth it.

You know that games can update themselves, no ‘launcher’ required, right? That is not a function solely enabled by said launchers but one that has been subsumed by launchers to ‘simplify’ the management of multiple game titles.

“People suck.”

Indeed, any being with the power and will to create a world this twisted, violent, and capricious is one that should be scorned and assaulted at every opportunity. For such a being was fully capable of creating a sensible, peaceful world but chose to make it this way instead. So even if God exists, you are not loved.…

“God has a plan.”

Two steaming turds in the toilet bowl. Will somebody hurry up and flush this shit already??

“More than I blame myself for putting them on that arbitrary, rushed release schedule, too. I’m not responsible for anything that happens as a result of my bad decisions. Only when things go right. Then that’s all because of me.”

Shirk blame, hoard the benefits — Corporate Suits in a nutshell. It’s always someone else’s fault if something goes wrong, but I’m solely responsible for things going well.

Except if she had been properly tested then, she would have been disqualified and never been allowed to participate in the Olympics in the first place. She cheated to get to where she is. The fact that she’s not cheating now is immaterial. And she’s not a child. In fact, in some countries, she’s a legal adult. She…

It’s almost as if systems that reward selfishness and greed produce progressively more selfish and greedy people.

The only way this setting could get more gruesome is if Kirby occasionally belched up partially digested human bones. I mean, the remorseless, bottomless pit that he is, it only makes sense where all the humans went...and I can’t say we wouldn’t have deserved it either.

First, the court doesn’t have the authority to draw district lines. They have even less authority than the existing legislature has to draw the offending unconstitutional one. Which, the state’s court has called unconstitutional, but that would have to go before SCOTUS to get the final answer. In the meantime...
