Ah, you know. Every cult is going to have sane people that try it and bounce right out of it. That’s the strongest evidence, of all, that it’s a cult.

The hilarious part is that I WAS a Tesla owner (3) for two years. Picked it up in 2018 direct from the original owner and kept it until 2020 when I sold it to buy a fucking Honda (hatchback civic), of all things.

Ah, true, lying about the range WAS a masterful gambit. Quite!

What makes you think they can’t, now? Like I said, “[...]when they do haul in scabs - or even just think they already have something good written - they fumble the actual product pretty badly.”

Not to put too fine a point on it but: Heroes, season two happens.

Straight up diversionary. And the one dude is seriously suggesting that the FTC should just let companies write their own merger rules based on toothless negotiation, rather than have the laws restrict mergers that aren’t in the public good. So diversionary seems to be where they start, and then get exponentially more…

You know you can just dismiss children who think that stating a point of view publicly is an invitation for “debate”, in whatever ossified context of structure that they have found comfortable for that term.

Or that the judge sucks, bootlicker. Happens all the time in this country. Just look at the SCOTUS. Lots of absolute vacuums up there.

lol

Exactly. The biggest software company in the world is trying to purchase the biggest video game publisher in the world and this judge is saying that after she’s given it consideration, she honestly believes that this COULDN’T POSSIBLY have antitrust issues? Or that the antitrust issues it *could* have are not worth…

Hey now, don’t forget ol’ Nintendo! They’re just as consumer-unfriendly, only happier about it.

Ah, yeah, that sucks. Oh well. I guess Microsoft gets their monopoly and we’ll just bust it up when they start exemplifying their real strategy, like they’ve done with Zenimax. Glad to be done with Microsoft consoles! I was always pretty impressed at how badly they’ve fucked up with Xbox, allowing Steam to take over…

One can only hope the UK has more teeth to its regulations. Or judges that understand the situation.

Hi! I don’t give a fuck what you prefer. Enjoy your hand, ma’am.

Put another way: It’s a place for people who want to conduct business to be able to conduct that business. That goes for both businesses and customers.

Generic has everything to do with it. Was it unclear what I was trying to say? Was I speaking in a medically-accurate forum? Did I have reason to be specific or could people pick up from context that while I wasn’t using a specifically accurate term, I was referring to the part of the anatomy that would be unsavory to…

“pussy”, then? Is that generic enough, officer?

For the most part, Twin Peaks is awesome. Great chicken fried steak, good wings, on par with a Snuffer’s for burgers, etc. They also keep their beer at 29 degrees with a big-ass sign out front showing the current temperature in the beer fridge. They really did go the distance with making quality food and service, so I…
