Oh awesome. So now all we need to do is build a time machine and hateful shit like this and the fake news in FB’s News Feed won’t have the same outsize effect on the election. Thanks for listening to your user base, Twitter!

Honestly, you’re both right. It was one of my big sticking points with the original, and is keeping me from diving into this one.

You have officially made my day. FFXII is my favorite since VII, and even that is probably more out of nostalgia

Cabron James is a very good Twitter handle

This is pure poetry

Wait . . . his feet are covered though . . . they also don’t look disproportionately huge.

HOLD THE PHONE. Is this a dwarf WITHOUT a beard?

All great points. That bit about unskilled labor as a ladder for a short period is SO TRUE, but probably FELT more inclusive because absolutely everybody used it to elevate their economic standing.

As a desk jockey myself, I have absolutely no idea. The easy answer is to bring in union leaders from other sectors and figure out what you need to organize from there (if I’m not mistaken, this is what Gawker did)

So the agreement is that Sony is free to use FF/X properties as long as they don’t change their powers? And if they do make the change, they have to ask permission?

A. I do! Think of the people in Congress that have no business sense whatsoever (i.e. the Tea Party, labor-affiliated Dems, etc).

Can someone explain to me why Negasonic would be a Marvel property? I think she’s only ever shown up in X titles.

A. You’re gonna have to explain a bit more how this doesn’t ALSO prove my point. It can be both!

Hey Keith, question for you. I’m looking to make REALLY simple financial decisions: I want to put a small percentage of my income into straight up Vanguard S&P funds and forget about them for a few decades. What’s the best way for me to do that? I’ve already got my 401K on that track, but that’s tied to my company,…

Doesn’t that turn into a chicken-egg scenario? Union members are organized by the trade in which they work; if there aren’t any jobs for them to grow with, their membership gets smaller. Protectionism is possibly the only way that they see to make this work, since manufacturing isn’t coming back to the US. It just…

A. I pity your bottom line. T Bill yields aren’t in line with corporate bonds, period. Corporations are expected to do better, but most bond purchases are immune to deregulation promises, because deregulation =/= solvency. Plus, every single type of sovereign bond has jumped: 2 years are >1%, 30 years (when you would…

Ham, I agree with the basic thesis of this argument. But think how much of Trump’s plank was built around things unions are theoretically for: stopping NAFTA and the TPP, bringing manufacturing/coal mining back to the US, etc. What’s the impetus for the unions to ignore the individual members who were swayed by the…

That’s not what I’m seeing. Corporate bonds are showing TINY yields right now, while T Bills just took a leap. In short, financial markets don’t trust the returns on the US government. I wonder why that is...

I mean, that’s MY theory on his comment. Could be wrong!

I think Bal is saying that it’s past the point of theory, it is GOING to happen.
