It feels easy until you get a bigger car and realize it was a huge pain in the ass you were subjecting yourself to without reason.

Having seen these things in person it’s hard to disagree.   It just does not feel like a “luxury” car despite the pricing and pretensions.

Does it?  I think we can pretty easily say that, for instance, plowing into a bunch of pedestrians like a real-life version of Carmageddon is “the wrong decision” regardless of the driver’s circumstances.

There are already a bunch of rules about what cars you can drive on more or less every country on Earth so I guess fascism is already here, in your world.

Why is Jayson Tatum’s photo on the bag of Ruffles, then? It sounds a lot like that’s trading on a multi-millionaire’s celebrity to sell junk food.

In the grand scheme of things I do not think white label products are one of the more unethical forms of business out there.

Is there like, some trick where people are being forced to buy these without knowing the price or something?  The world is full of products I don’t think are a good value and I just do not buy them.

Yes, but the conception of race is different.  The “one-drop” notion didn’t really pertain in French or Spanish colonies which tended to develop hierarchies where being “colored” or mixed-race was somewhere in between being black and being white.

A Puerto Rican guy is 0% white.  That has to be the stupidest claim I read today.

> Fans love to treat studios like sports teams, considering them single-minded entities to bear the full brunt of all their praise or ire, when in reality they are complex hierarchies full of conflicting ideas, interests, and motivations. And they’re ultimately ruled—most of them at least—from the top down.

Yep, that’s a lot of games... can’t say I see anything that interests me though

I eagerly await the follow-up to this article, where I am encouraged to not bother washing my clothes at all since they’re all junk anyways.  Just buy new ones!

So let me get this straight... your argument is I should just throw it all in there because my clothes are all cheap crap and who cares if I ruin them?  Colorfastness may have improved compared to the past but you can absolutely still discolor white clothes if you wash them with red ones or blue jeans or whatever.

At a guess, because he wanted the thousands of dollars.

He chose to do it with the understanding he was being paid more than two thousand dollars to do it, rather than nothing.  There are probably some things you can think of you’d do for two thousand dollars that you would not do for free.

Oh lighten up. What does an AI Trump rambling on about hentai have to do with that one way or the other.

Are you taking wages for their employees into account in your back-of-the-napkin math?

The traditional model is even riskier, isn’t it?  You can spend years working on a game, it flops, and then it spends the rest of its life in the bargain bin.

I have a child myself but to be honest I’d rather not play than play something so unappealing to me.

Well, you can argue about what to do about it but I’m guessing it’s a significant drag on their profitability -- yet it’s also kind of core to the service that anyone can start streaming. Even with limited storage, just allowing someone to stream to a handful of viewers costs real money.
