Oh for sure, it’s certainly not the singular reason. We could zoom all the way out to late-stage capitalism and go from there. I know in our area (which is pretty economically lopsided) it’s very service/hospitality heavy but demand for good labor is high so wages are higher and people can go to where they're treated…

Well, what sucks is that their employees will still be willing to get kicked in the ass over and over because vidja games! The young ones are too young to make good decisions about their futures and the old guard are shrugging their shoulders saying “but what can I do?!” in the face of what they perceive “real jobs”…

For all the best reasons, glad to see you go.

Dont forget the rampant roofing scams that are now getting lawfirms involved and suing the insurance companies.  https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna29649

This shit isn’t funny anymore. We down here on the ground are still dealing with the fucking trump fallout.

That’s usually what the left brings with them to areas they move to.

Not that it makes it any easier, but Boxed Super Famicom games are stupid cheap in places like mom and pop shops in Kyoto. I got a mint boxed Super Mario World and Link to the Past for about $18 each.

Uhhh, the fed IS trying to engineer a recession. They’re trying to put the brakes on the economy, mainly by attempting to get unemployment to rise. Right now major purchases are being driven by “I don’t care if rates are high, I want what I want and I want it now!”

Yup. The marvel movies have become homework.

Yeah, it looks like everyone is skating around on ice, and quickly accelerating while doing so...

What...is....the deal......... with..... the..... speaking...... cadence? 

I can’t wait to see the behind-the-scenes article from Bloomberg for JUDAS...

I do the 4-10 schedule and it is FANTASTIC. Holy shit having 3 days off always is just so enjoyable and has drastically improved my well-being.  It also helps that I love my job. And just taking an extra day gives me a 4 day mini-vacation? Brilliant.

I also work a 4-day week.

Yup, I imagine Gates was grousing and fussing to Jeffrey Epstein about it... /collar tug

His newest book Press Reset is also great.

Wow, going all-in on a fucking scam, huh? Well, fine go ahead, we’ll be here when the company is weakened enough for someone to attempt another takeover...

He’s not disgruntled, he’s mentally ill.

Geoff is like a Paparazzi. He has built a living in a parasitic/symbiotic relationship with games and game makers.  He can't afford to take a stand on anything. His livelihood literally depends on it. So he'll dance the line that they make him dance.

Haha holy shit, this is awesome!
