We re-re-re-re-re-re-re-released Skyrim once again over the last 10 years, it just doesnt have the same traction. It’s just that these audiences are only interested in a game for 6 months max.

Isn’t collective punishment against the Geneva Convention?

TIL

Or that we should agree on “throur”

When you get paid to stop something bad that is happening, prevention is not in your best interest.

You just can’t hear that hint over the hint of the constant torment of the growing lower class

Meanwhile, in France:

“What’s the roundish thing we eat a lot?”

“Apples?”

“No, the one that grows underground.”

“Dirt apples?”

That’s only because capitalists are deaf to reason and demonstrable facts.

It’s like the cost of one banana

Maybe I don’t know enough about computer graphics, but in what world would you have/want to display a group of 33 pixels (one computed, 32 inferred)?!

Are we inferring 5 to the left and right and the row above and below in weird 3 x 11 strips?

I’m just surprised there isn’t a shadow industry of selling blood products fed on people altruistically donating for free (like, as far as I can tell, every country with public healthcare does) with corrupt pseudo-legal marketing ensuring that blood products are not sold for profit (because they sell the bag, not the blood, or they sell the service of delivering blood, or some bullshit like that)

You’re right. Why would I want a public entity to keep any extra money in the country when I could pay a private mego corporation to funnel it off shore?

Why would I want to fund a public entity to keep publicly available records when I could pay a private company to deny my $1200 claim and boast $104 billion profit?

Is it the choice I get to make between 3 companies that all run the same statistical algorithm for risk assessment and collectively agree to have the same pricing? That’s so much better than having a government beholden to it’s voters and public option control it, right?

Private insurance should only exist for things that are both a) completely optional, and b) not inevitable (so… evitable?).

Auto insurance? Well, if it’s the law to have it, why is a private company involved whose sole model is to collect money and deny payments?

Health insurance? Well, it’s optional, but you will absolutely need to pay for Healthcare at some point (or you die early). Why, again, should we put an institution in charge whose sole purpose is to make the average person pay more than they get out of it?

Famous athlete leg insurance? High value possession insurance? Have at it, private insurance.

Fahrenheit is literally a German dude making a scale from, “scheiße its chilly outside” to “oh mein gott, its hot out!”

It’s that extra “one” of incredulity.

40 degrees, that’s just too hot.

41? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

The trouble with never voting for a 3rd party is that you enable the 2 party system, which fundamentally promotes tribalism, division, and corruption.

Whats worse is that it snowballs and is completely out of control. There was a time when I would say that it’s worth voting for a candidate that will never get elected to sway future policy, but although it’s always felt like the other guy I’d going to ruin everything, it’s truer now than it has ever been. And it won’t stop at Trump. Trump could be dead, some equally craven ghoul would take his place. That ship will never turn, it will only pull away from the Democrats. Nothing can ever progress. There is only the fight.

America is a cautionary tale.

If your country is lucky enough to have 3 or more major political forces, keep that alive.

Maybe don’t charge $145 for a digital product. Maybe charge $50, and sell it to 5x the people. It quite literally costs nothing (okay, pedantically, the tiniest fraction) to sell more units.

I’d play an okay Star Wars game for $50 day 1. Wouldn’t you?

And then when it goes on sale, loads of people would pay $20 on a 60% sale price next year. Whose paying $60 at a 60% off sale for a year old okay Star Wars game? No one. Not one soul.

Oh, you can get it cheaper for subscribing to Ubisoft+. Fuck off with that bullshit, do you even hear yourself?

Similarly, I plan on double crossing the mafia so Thin Lips Johnny can chop me up and feed me to the pigs. Circle of life.

Bad bot
