Companies never have an incentive to respect unions, other than, “We’re going to stop working, and it’s going to cost you dearly.”

Should the Sanders campaign do an interview with Breitbart? Or an AMA on Stormfront?

I’m willing to bet serious money that this ends up being a whole bunch of pointed questions about the Green New Deal, about why Sanders wants to take away the private insurance we all love so much, and about some newspaper column he wrote decades ago, with a question about the deficit thrown in for good measure.

It’s definitely a product of its time, but even back then there’s a reason why WoW was such an instant hit, because it cut out a ton of the stuff in EQ that was bullshit.

Oddly enough, I feel like classic EQ has aged better than almost every modern-era (post-WoW) MMO on the market. Particularly on the Project 1999 emulation server (which has the blessing of Daybreak and is therefore not illegal or unethical to frequent), what you get is a taste of an untouched, uncompromising MMO game,…

Great, but I mean, most startups aren’t going from “we’re an app, guys!” to “we own fleets of millions of self-driving vehicles around the world, along with the land and infrastructure to store and maintain them!” Like, you have to admit, this is a huge leap they’re crossing their fingers they’ll be able to make. And…

The problem is that a self-driving taxi service bears little resemblance to the business they currently run, which is basically just a scheduling and payment processing app. I’m not sure why people are so certain that it’s just a matter of slotting in self-driving vehicles for human-driven ones. They have to own those…

Great, so the robot cars are coming. How feasible do you believe it will be for Uber or Lyft to pivot from being glorified middle-man apps, to owning, managing, and housing (this requires lots of land and infrastructure) massive fleets of self-driving cars around the globe? This isn’t just as simple as slotting in AIs…

Well, and the hilarious thing about self-driving vehicles is that people are putting all this effort into making them operate on roads designed for human drivers, alongside those same human drivers. What all efforts would be pointed to, if we were smart, is converting shit over entirely to self-driving, “smart”…

Self driving cars are def coming one day, but how long away that day is and whether Uber and Lyft are still around and solvent and whether the govt allows the benefits of self driving vehicles to be fully captured by private companies remains to be seen.

4) Self-driving robot cars, funded by the momentum and potential of the human-powered service, effectively eliminate 3+ million transport jobs and allowing Lyft, Uber, and Google to ultimately realize their profitable dreams. The technology is similarly ported into public transportation for a better experience and…

If it were really that big a problem, one of them would be gone by now. It’s obviously being played up for attention.

Outside of the times he’s insulted her dad...

It’s almost like the animosity between these two is a big put-on designed to draw eyeballs to the show.

Okay, but at some point it’s just like, why not have an easy mode? What do people who play at the regular difficulties (or even higher difficulties) lose out on by there being an easy mode? Nothing. It’s kind of petty for a game to have as one of its foregrounded features the idea that it’s about reinforcing the…

The Sarah Huckabee Sanders thing is disappointing. She’s giving us so many valid reasons to spew hate at her until she withers away and dies. Her looks are absolutely none of those reasons.

Shit being “hard” has never been an excuse to straight give up to anywhere near the same extent as it seems to be now. Face it, your fatalistic outlook is a convenient byproduct of the fact that you don’t give a shit.

... and Democratic voters will begin making intelligent choices about who has the best chance of beating Trump in Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. 

I honestly don’t care what they turn the game into at this point. It’s fine if other people decide to support Fallout 76. that’s totally cool. But I’m sick of studios churning out unfinished, directionless games, and then developing “road maps” to repair the carnage over time. It’s 100% about getting people to invest…

Don’t be fooled by the centrists pretending they don’t love Biden. If it were Bernie or Biden, they’d pick Biden every single goddamned time, #MeToo moment or no.
