As a lawyer, i can tell you the typical law school grad does not make over 100k in the NYC market, which is the highest paying top market. Big law firms pay that, but that isnt where the majority of lawyers work. Grads from med school are in residency, they make absolutely crap money for 4 to 5 years, more if they…

Its tied to a few things, but part of it is Chicago School of economics and the idea that the only purpose of a company is to return share holder profits. Then toss in the fact that corporate stock ownership has actually become more concentrated in that time. You have a bunch of uber rich people demanding a rate of…

No, bc twitch plays pokemon is at least mildly amusing.

1000 a month.  On a five year loan.  That is just dumb.  If you make enough money that 1k a month is no big deal...then put it aside to just not have to pay the interest.  

A mortgage shouldnt be higher than three figures?  So....no mortgages in the northeast, pnw, cali, austin...just anywhere that is a hot market?

If only you could pay someone to check this shit.  Like a fucking intern could do this.

ok, but no one would know who they are at those kids age. Kids back then didnt pay attention to who made games. Partially due to Atari not crediting devs for a long time, but people playing donkey kong likely werent paying attention to who made it. I know plenty of people who were gamers through the the last 30 plus…

I was out of the country in the UK from mid 86-88 (also I was 5 in mid 86). I got a C64 and a 2600 hundred from a friend of my parents...and went to arcades with as much pocket money as I could (also at 6 my parents let me out on my own...but I lived in a really safe town and local business owners would call my dad…

Kids didnt know what 8bit was back then.  And they wouldnt not have known that the next step would be 16 bits.  No one knew an atari was 4bits.  This is just nonsense.

This.  NES wouldnt even have been a rumor.  This is 86, post game crash of 83.  If they were playing video games outside of an arcade it would likely have been on an old 2600 or intellivision.  Nintendo didnt even come close to gaining momentum till like 87-88, and that was on the coasts.  This fact bothers the fuck…

eh. government forms should be in the established language. But in canada they have two. Let quebec shoot itself in the foot. As the game industry starts leaving, so will their own home grown french speaking devs.

the chicago school and milton friedman put forward the concept that corporations exist only to return shareholder value. A bunch of wealthy people in the US and UK took that concept and ran with it (it literally was not a thing before the 70s, corps were there to limit liability and pool resources, and of course make…

Its about nailing the core of the character.  And Ms. Marvel does.  Its not like my issue with MJ in the current Spiderman movies.  The character is fine in the movies, Zendaya does a great job and has charisma...but that is not the MJ in the comics.  Not at its core.  Skin color, hair color, that doesnt matter, its…

Way to nitpick. The MCU is adaptation not translation. Thanks to Permulter being a sullen school boy, Marvel TV tainted the Inhumans before the MCU was able to do anything about it. Now that the MCU controls marvel tv and movies...they need to adapt. You cant make Kamala an inhuman now, and if she had been created in…

making games is hard.  Making AAA games is insanely hard.  Making AAA games that look pretty, and play well, and have story people give a fuck about (unless you have compelling multi) is exceptionally hard.  Then it has to sell.  How many AAA games hit all those boxes...and still just dont hit, or people dont glom to…

well, when you stifle free expression, its going to hinder creativity.  They graphic artists and sound design can all be top notch, but the creative process is going to be a problem.  Plus, if you were a top notch chinese dev...id be looking to use that pedigree to leave to a western country.  China is in pop decline…

I only blame her to the extent that she is letting Biden’s admin railroad her...or else getting horrible advice.  Go off the reservation, be the prosecutor Harris from the Kavanaugh hearings, instead of trying to remain inoffensive enough to think you will get the nomination for P one day.  She wont.  Not like this. …

They sideline AOC and other progressives, but at least those people are fucking fighting.  

No.  Pass executive orders.  Make the GOP fight it in court.  It is literally exactly what the GOP would do.  The Dems cant do much, so they might as well show their base they are fighting...not holding hands and singing we will overcome or whatever other bs.  So fucking afraid to be on the offensive.  Still chasing…

And this is why Dems are going to keep getting whacked.  They won in 2018 because of outrage against Trump...now people want to see them fucking fight.  Harris needs to either be prosecutor Harris and go on the attack (which is exactly what Biden should be positioning her as) or else accept this is it, she wont ever…
