Firing half of the managers would result in the company pocketing more money and paying out larger dividends to shareholders. It’s like lowering the corporate tax rate. It doesn’t make anyone hire more people or do better work.

I have major concerns about this. Selling a female companion is just gross and misogynistic. If I’m selling people to slavers, I want them to be male, and preferably non-white.

If it wasn’t before, someone in Scotland or Texas is making sure that it is now.

I’ll go with A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab. Four versions of London. Grey London is our world at the end of the Georgian Regency, with virtually no magic. Red London is London heavily influenced by the Tudor period, filled to the brim with magic. White London is Viking London, where everything wants to kill…

The CK2 mod is the best ASOIAF game I can imagine.

I just don’t get MGS. The plots seem like something a fifteen year old on acid would write, except less coherent.

I love the pixel art, and I hate the 3D versions with a fiery burning passion. I will happily take the subpar pixel art of FFVI over the wretched 3D of FFIV.

Assassin’s Creed China is a beautiful game, and my favorite stealth platformer.

Tell me more about the 1894 Olympics.

I can’t make a fat guy with a beard and glasses. I feel your pain.

Tell me about it. None of the options let me include a beard or glasses. It looks nothing like me. :(

In fairness to how long this is going on, the idea of reporting problems on Twitter is baffling to Niantic.

I feel sympathy for the mother. But then, I’d feel sympathy for anyone if one of their family members died. That does not remotely excuse her actions, and it very definitely does not excuse her racism.

Ok.

Well. No guarantee that the Caps would have beat the Sharks, but it turns out that the East Coast bias had at least some truth to it.

Assuming the Penguins win in game five, it’ll be either Kessel, Murray or Crosby with the Conn Smyth. Murray has played really well, but he hasn’t had the “put the team on his back” performance usually associated with playoff MVP goalies. Kessel is the sentimental favorite and the Penguins playoff scoring leader - I…

As a Canadian from the same city as Crosby, and lifelong Penguins fan, I was pretty OK with how the Gold Medal game ended.

Spiders don’t bug me at all. A spider in the house means someone is hunting down the little six legged terror beasts that could be anywhere.

The New England Patriots would go 19-0.

Queue all the people pointing out that it should have been “cue” rather than “queue.”
