Cool. And Good.

Threads is what any reasonable company would call “down and out”. Last I had seen, it was doing about a 10th of Twitter’s DAU, and only about 3 minutes per day for each user. It’s a ghost town.

My money is on Sony shutting it down, but my heart is with this dude. Fuck them if they won’t support the product. I’ve long had a mind to do something like this to Konami, but those are the kind of daydreams you’re sure you’ll never actually commit to until you start on them. This bloke really went and put his self…

That is great to hear! I’ve been wanting to get one for this exact setup. I’m happy to game on the go, but my Switch MOSTLY stays docked. I figured the same would be true for the SteamDeck.

Personally, I’m going to wager that the “ghost” company, made by VCs to extract value out of a specific market, by targeting that market’s most favored qualities (speed, notoriety, and food familiarity), is going to do fine during discovery, and during the trial. I agree with you that they won’t want to do discovery…

No, don’t you get it? His self-serving acts of performative and de-humanizing kindness cover for all of his otherwise bog-standard YouTube Star personal qualities, like opportunism, disingenuousness, and artificiality.

lol

Ah, see, not the anti-vaxxer, just a pathetic bootlicker! Much more dignified, apparently?

Hell yeah! It’s always a troubling sign when publications have to wind down operations, due to how often the cause is moneyed interests deciding to prevent that voice from being heard (however indirectly). But, luckily, that doesn’t seem to be the case here!

The best part about the “misses” is watching people think that jokes they don’t get/like are “misses” and then laughing at how inscrutable or unfunny they think it all is.

Exactly. Glad that he’s suing, but he should face some accountability of his own.

Ah, see, we’ve got a TON of what are colloquially called “hot plate” mexican diners, as well as “rice bowl” chinese places and both of those are pretty similar about not having any online presence other than Uber/DoorDash/Grubhub, but having awesome food that you can only otherwise get as takeaway (have to go into the…

I don’t know about “only”, but I certainly don’t download every tom, dick, and jane’s single-purpose app strictly to order food from. McDonald’s app? Wendys’? Burger king? Popeyes? Chipotle? Fuck outta here. That’s a personal data collection racket that I’m not interested in providing information for.

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.
