“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.”

That makes them a *publisher* of those tweets, financially and legally responsible for the content, accuracy, and veracity of them, opening the doors for a MOUNTAIN of libel lawsuits. Still sound like such a great idea??

Because if profit margins aren’t going up, people aren’t ‘growing’ their stock portfolios. And by people, I mean shareholders and execs, who are the only ‘people’ who matter in the corporate world, so it *MUST* go up. Always and forever.

“We feel we’re more entitled to the fruits of your labor than you.”
— Corporate America in a nutshell

Yeeaaaah...that’s not easy to hack at all...

Demos are rarely a good thing for anyone, even if you think otherwise. A demo takes time *AWAY* from developing the actual game and diverts it to developing the demo. Little if any of the time spent making the demo actually translates back into the finished game. As such, the demo is not reflective of the finished…

Yeah, but the *sprites* made from Amano’s designs rarely looked much, if anything like his art either. Kind of a mixed bag there.

Exactly. That’s why they love private schools, especially the religious ones.

He might as well just ban all forms of education in his Floriduh, because it might also offend people, particularly his voters, to learn about all the ways their superstitions and ignorance aren’t comparable to knowledge and understanding.

Interest from private equity firms is almost never a good thing for anyone but execs and majority shareholders.

Every single politician and appointed official who spoke publicly in support of the insurrection should be barred from ever holding any elected or appointed position for the rest of their lives and count themselves lucky that’s *ALL* they have to deal with for their support of overthrowing the government.

The whole point of contractors is to *maximize* the extent to which companies can externalize their operating costs. Of course they treat contractors like shit. That’s the point! Treating people like people costs them money. That’s unacceptable in capitalism.

Barking up the wrong tree. As per usual. There are problems with giant corporations running amok, but SpaceX isn’t an example of any of them. In fact, in the modern ‘capitalist’ society, they are a rare instance of a company *NOT* abusing its massive success, market position and power. They’re the reason there’s any…

Nothing stands in the way of profit margins. Nothing. That’s capitalism at its core. Which is to say, capitalism is the society equivalent of sociopathy, which is oddly in line with who capitalism benefits the most -- sociopaths.

I always figured she really cared about money — having it or making it. Then I found out she voluntarily saddled herself with Kotick. Now I know she literally only cares about money. Birds of a feather...

There have been legal rumblings about how the Paramount Decrees are ‘no longer necessary.’ But that can just as easily mean the ‘courts’ are open to ‘negotiating’ for more ‘favorable terms’ with studios, given how pro-monopoly the US legal system has become since the Paramount Decrees happened.

No, they don’t compete on ‘quality.’ I cannot get a lesser or greater quality Disney experience on another streaming service. It’s Disney+ or nothing. There’s no in between, no other options. It’s a binary choice. Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, etc, etc, are all in the same boat — if you want their shows, it’s their platform…

No. It’s absolutely bidding — did you not see how platforms *literally* bid to get the streaming rights to Seinfeld?? They want exclusive content, not to share it. Exclusive content is how they *force* customers to pick them over some other option. *Shared* content puts them on even footing with every other platform,…

That’s the whole ‘competition’ thing that isn’t really the kind of competition most people think of, because it’s not competition for customers. It’s competition for content, because content is what they’re selling, not their platforms. Netflix doesn’t have decades of wholly owned content in its catalog, which means…

Disappointing? At this point, nobody should be disappointed in SLS being exactly as awful as it from its first inception and every added moving goalpost since. Are you disappointed when you go to McD’s or BK’s and don’t get a 5-star, 9-course meal for your five bucks? Of course not. I mean, sure, SLS has only cost the…
