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…

Here’s hoping all the NIMBYist bullshit just fucks right the hell off. Offshore wind is one the best renewable power sources around, and the further offshore they are, the larger they can be, and the more power they generate.

Putin has been attacking the US — in every way but militarily — ever since he came into power. The US is in a defacto cold war with Putin’s Russia, and these Republican idiots have openly declared their allegiances to that *HOSTILE* nation. The US used to handle people like that very differently...

Not entirely accurate. I mean, the issue is that major nations have, at the behest of shortsighted, greedy capitalists (Ooh! Cheap foreign labor! No EPA!), made themselves dependent on the import of major goods and materials. If they had *NOT* listened to said capitalists’ cries to outsource everything, domestic…

“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 And the 1-child law has been repealed long enough for them to start rebuilding that workforce, too.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.

Bad plans combined with cowing to the whims of vested interests almost always results in bad outcomes. The US is no stranger to this kind of convergence, nor is any of the EU. And yet, nations and world leaders keep doing it, over and over. It’s like humanity is incapable of learning certain kinds of lessons, because…

Once again illustrating that the best ‘hacking’ method is the one applied to general human stupidity. And all the system and network security in the world won’t protect you from that.

“People suck.”

The arctic, during the middle of winter, posted 40-50f weather multiple times in the last two years. So not even *THAT* is a guarantee. And if the coldest places on Earth, during their coldest seasons, aren’t reliably freezing, no place will be.

And those same people have been told, will claim, and firmly believe that ‘the other party’ is to blame for all of it...despite the fact that the people *THEY* voted into in office have done everything in their power to undermine scientifically and medically sound public-health policies.

She *IS* a forest fire, raging out of control, destroying everything in her path, which would be bad enough, but the rest of the GOP is exactly like her. Except for McConnell, who is a *SENTIENT* forest fire, delighting in the destruction he creates.

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.…
