The problem is that the underperforming ‘bottom 5%’ almost exclusively happen to be the people *AT THE TOP*. They’re the most useless *AND* the most costly for the company. But of course, they don’t fire themselves....

It’s two-fold. The people most likely to become wealthy are those who are willing to do whatever it takes to *GET* wealthy. They are the most amoral (if not outright immoral), unethical, selfish and self-serving, unscrupulous, etc, etc. And the more wealthy someone gets, the more the process inherently selects for…

This is sociopathy and sociopaths. The structure of the modern world and its ‘economy’ both rewards and incentivizes them and their behavior, which should come as no surprise, given that sociopaths are the ones controlling society and writing its laws. Built by and for sociopaths. What we’re seeing is the perfectly…

“I got me and mine, so fuck you and yours.” It’s the personification of the true average person. Everything else is a façade, easily peeled away the moment it becomes inconvenient.

Oh, there’s definitely some of that going on, but I’d throw *ANYONE* under the bus for all the same reasons — if you make money from that kind of shit and choose not to do something about it, I don’t care who you are, where you’re from, or what excuse you use to justify it, you are a garbage human being. Period. End…

It’s not the first time Beyonce has made some truly mindbogglingly bad choices. Or do you think her billion-dollar ‘brand’ *wasn’t* made without child/slave labor in 3rd-world countries with abusive, oppressive governments? Hint: it most definitely is.

So...when not-white people suffer from mental illness problems, it’s open season, and police can shoot them with impunity. But when *officers* ‘suffer’ from mental illness problems...we should, what? Pretend it’s no big deal? Ignore it? Refuse any sort of structural overhaul to take problem officers off the street…

Cuts should *ALWAYS* start from the top. If something is going wrong, it’s *ALWAYS* the CEO’s fault. Their job is literally to anticipate problems and stop them before they happen. So if something is going wrong, the CEO has failed spectacularly at their job. They should be the first to go. After all, the reason that…

Ordinarily, it’s a poor creator who blames their tools. But since the tool, in this case, is Yves Guillemot, blaming him is absolutely appropriate. His repeatedly terrible decisions have put Ubisoft in its current position. He is SOLELY responsible and should have been fired years ago.

Did you think you could get a 2-, 3-, or even 4-fold increase in visual fidelity for free?? Because that’s not how computers work. All that geometry and texture data has to go somewhere.

Upon second rereading, yeah, I see what you’re saying. That first sentence isn’t directly attributed to any specific party, which makes it unclear to whom it’s referring.

No. She’s proving that they target minorities, which they do and she is, and that they freely and repeatedly weaponize their power against people they don’t like, which they are.

Yes...we should have officers throughout the law enforcement ‘industry’ train themselves in ways to better weaponize technology against people who offend their delicate sensibilities by wanting transparency, accountability, and consequences (or by simply existing).

Connect was...very short-lived anyway. Most developers didn’t support it, and for those that did, only a handful of titles were ever supported by Connect, and even when they were made available on Connect, it was only for a brief period of time and never again. If you missed the window of opportunity to add one of…

No, because it only applied to *BROADCAST* news. It never applied to *CABLE* news. Which isn’t to say you’re wrong in regards to the FCC needing to take action on this issue, but it would be a whole new ball of wax, requiring entirely new regulatory frameworks, oversight, and most importantly, strong controls to…

“Christians” are just fine with it. Anti-vaxxers, too. As far as either group are concerned, the more the merrier. And children are fair game. Whatever it requires to take and keep power, forever, they’ll do it.

Oh, I’m aware. And it would honestly be better for the country if the nobody assumes the speakership role for the next two years until the next election. Because the alternative is seeing just how much damage Republicans can cause with their control of the House. And if four years of Trump is any indication, the…

Everything can have that caveat attached to it....

Contrary to popular corporate belief, nobody has a constitutional right to maximize profits....

You can’t humiliate someone with no humility just like you can’t shame someone who is shameless. And since McCarthy is both of those things, he’s just going to keep throwing himself at the position in the hopes of wearing everyone else down.
