All cars orbit the sun.

It all depends on your frame of reference. Every car on Earth is racking up 1.6 million miles every day as if you use the sun as reference. If you measure based on the galactic central point, it’s more like 12 million miles a day.

It’s not just vaginas! There was a bodybuilder in my dorm when I was in college who basically only ate meat as part of some weird 0% body fat diet. He was stunningly gorgeous, intelligent, and charming. He got tons of one-night stand tail but could never hold down a girlfriend. Why? It was openly discussed (behind his…

In the small case studies that have been done, UBI doesn’t appear to reduce the drive to work and be productive. The theory of the economists who support it, is that it increases job mobility which increases the value of labor.

I hope people read this and take action in their industry. It’s meaningful. There is so much reason why everything has gone to such shit with employment and benefits since Reagan came in and targeted the unions, public education and health care among other things.

I’ve seen some sentiments that would like the answer that most important question of “What do you get?” with a hollow “they get to make amazing games”...and yeah, sure, that’s certainly a perk. This person gets to take pride in the fact that they worked on the massively successful and critically acclaimed ______!

I’ve worked in a union job. It wasn’t perfect. But when I got sick I was able to take paid time off. I had great vacation benefits, and even now that I’ve left, I’ve got an awesome pension that will be there for me in my old age.
