The lesson that Democrats will take away from 2024 is that they should never run a woman for President.

Only the mouthpieces of the Microsoft Corporation can save us now.

America is dead

You’re thirty years to late to write The End of History. Fukuyama wasn’t right about it then, either.

Maybe those of you that stayed home

Speak for yourself. She only lost because you didn’t vote hard enough.

If American democracy survived Jackson, Buchanan, Hoover, and Nixon…

Most well paid clueless man, maybe

He expected to be his own brand, like Musk or Trump or Limbaugh. When he realized he was still just another faceless interchangeable mouthpiece, that definitely fucked his ego.

Given Tucker’s views on women, I don’t see a discrepancy

A game with maps that were assembled at random from what some lead/executive thought was the best submissions out of a random assortment of amateur designs sounds like it is going to be crap.

Really knows how to give a pounding

Me, at the opener for Bright Eyes

What is with people and self-snitching?

It’s AI generated and getting passed around Twitter/Right-Wing Facebook ad part of MAGA hysterics.

The ANC made a special point to protect the apartheidists during their Truth and Reconciliation hearings. It wasn’t until said white farmers began violently resisting efforts to repatriate land to native farmers that the government lost control of retribution. Even then, they weren’t “slaughtered”. Many simply abandoned the properties after the ANC failed to intercede on their behalf.

Quite a few white South Africans are currently leaving to become converts to Judaism in order to participate in the Israeli Settler Movement

From a former Pentecostal pastor to entire families, a growing number of Afrikaners are converting to Orthodox Judaism and swapping South Africa for Israel – and, in many cases, West Bank settlements

There’s more to game development than that. Setting, art style, gameplay loop, interface…

The argument being made is that a “proven” mechanism for monetization is getting in the way of developing other attributes of gameplay, as the

• get potential players aware of it

and

• then have them pay

Steps are made the focus of design, and only known existing formulas for the above encourage the

• invest some money

step.

I’m willing to believe he asked ten of his VPs and nine of them agreed with him. Also, that he’s currently looking to fill a newly opened tenth position.

Amazon policy is to stack rank all of its employees and regularly fire anyone in the bottom tranche. So any kind of deliberate slowdown would need to be incredibly well-coordinated. Even then, there would inevitably be a ton of attrition as the automatic Fire Everyone triggers started kicking in.

Its not enough to play by the rules with a company as vast and encompassing as Amazon. You need to take it a step further and start sabotaging the anti-organizing functions of the company. Start shoving monkey wrenches in the employee monitoring systems. Start dismantling the automation that allows the business to function at such a breakneck pace. You’ve got to get in there and break the machine before it breaks you.

I’m not. OP’s screenshot is from The Dead Bird Site.

This would have garnered a sensible chuckle showing up on my feed 10 years ago.

Now its a reminder of how fucking manufactured and over-promoted whatever the trending meme on X The Everything App ends up being. Reminds me of the “Pieces of Flare” bit from Office Space.

Watched a 3 year old for a couple of months. I found out she thought “Sunday” was the daytime, when I mentioned “We make pancakes on Sunday” and then had a very long confused somewhat irate conversation about how she could see the sun very clearly but I was refusing to make her pancakes for breakfast.

Sometimes memories just take some time to process, especially if you’re exhausted. Given a few nights of sleep, I bet this kid will start running the events back through his head more and more, and thinking about bits of it he wants to talk about.
