It’s a very profitable marketing pitch.

They know it works poorly, they know stuff goes wrong. But it’s cheaper this way. The “disruption” tech and venture capital all prattle on about is nothing more fucking labor and ignoring regulations. 

so if you are eating veggies, give them some.

And if the skin is contaminated?

So normal? Cause excess inventory on the lot was the big, never gonna fix it back when "millennials just don't want cars" during a global recession. 

Uh. All that competition in the car business means the “incentive” is once production can ramp back up. Some one will do so for the sake of undercutting you.

If it’s between waiting on a GM at a high price. And buying a Ford now for less. What are people going to do?

I mean Ford just launched an economy truck. That…

There is something very off putting about that front end for sure.

It has existed for a couple hundred years.

Fair bit of the articles here are just drawn from press releases. 

So this appears to be entirely routine coffee substitute. But greenwashed to high hell and billed as something new.

Point worth making is coffee substitutes like chicory are mostly a thing because they’re significantly cheaper. Like a whole fuck ton cheaper. Charging fancy coffee prices for them would be really…

Apparently not without some work on Windows 10. I seem to remember the Homeworld games being sorta tricky to run. 

Sure I don’t see why “but PCs are hard” justification has to be any part of that. Since much of it just isn’t true, and hasn’t been for a long time.

DAO apparently has some squirly on modern systems, though there are plenty of unresolved bugs left from the original release. It ran fine last time I ran through it a few years back, so I think it was recent Windows and Directx changes or something wut done it. I was thinking of playing through it again because I got…

There’s also a reason I’ve never been much of a PC gamer. I just like things to work without any fuss.

So first and fore most, provided we are talking about games that came out after about 2005, and honestly most games from 2000. They tend to just work in Windows. It’s a little more hit and miss heading back into the 90's, and DOS games generally you want to use an emulator.

There is seldom a ton of work needed these…

DOSbox is the go to emulator for DOS games. There is a MacOS version.

These things are hardly consistent across contexts. For example red flags are also a symbol of Socialist, Communist, and by extension sometimes general leftist movements. Particularly in Europe.

Maybe that’s what they were told, or saw discussed online. Even if that’s the case I think they missed what’s disturbing…

The Flag Code is “advisory”, and even if it wasn’t it’d be un-enforceable on 1st amendment grounds. Similar laws with penalties and enforcement baked in have been repeatedly ruled unconstitutional. And were mostly targeted at flag burning, and intended to target Left Wing protest movements.

“The Jazz Singer” was a massive success and groundbreaking in the industry but would probably never get made today. Not because of the Blackface aspect - that could easily be removed, just change the type of entertainment done by the main character - but because it’s “too Jewish.”

It definitely edges into psuedo-science. But the popular presentation, and especially it’s use in shit like this or by Peterson bears little to no resemblance to it as an academic fields.

It’s one of those terms like “quantum” and “epigenetics” that you can just slap on bullshit and ideological claims to make them…

It’s a neoliberal ideology of self-interest, individualism, personal responsibility, and political apathy.
