The ratio is 50, and dems have 51 senators.

Biden can order the murder of all the right wing justices and then the senate can rubber stamp them in.

“The odds are good, but the goods are odd.”

The protagonist thought that “baby shoes” would be “babies, as shoes.” It’s either very morbid or weirdly cute.

It’s like assuming “girl scout cookies” have “girl scouts” as an ingredient.

Best part is that they just went bankrupt after buying it in 2022 for 375 million dollars.

It can be. I often find it “bursty.” I’ve had months at a time when I had stand-ups and then “do whatever you want” for the rest of the day. I generally did do useful work, but there were plently of days when I was just chilling out.

Ive also had months where I ran from fire to fire while on fire, spreading even more fire. Also, there was fire.

It juat depends. If some org treats you as disposable, pays like shit and lights your hair on fire as you walk in, y’all should walk back out. The next org will probally treat you better, because there are good orgs out there. Even the good places get busy for a bit though. Just make sure that busy comes with money and that it ends at some point.

Just really, really blunt the swords edges.

TL:DW? ACAB

Slightly longer : corpos make money, they dont give a fuck about laws. Cops dont give a fuck about anything.

Longer still : she was stalked/had her face photoshopped onto actual child porn. Gave detailed info about the child porn, including who did it/where they were/etc. Cops did literaly nothing.

Alana Pierce, a games journalist/streamer/writer/etc has a specific responses to this exact question, based on personal experience. Her video on the topic is worth watching.

They arent dead, but they are in the millions of users, not hundreds of millions.

That is enough to sustain a social media platform, but none of them fully have the network effect going for them yet.

With federation, hopefully they won’t need it. That can be the network effect once interoperability is really here. Then everyone can still communicate, but not be beholden to any one service/owner/etc.

Planet crafter is supposed to have solid multiplayer if you like satisfactory style build/resource games.

Im just messing around man. This does sound like a good case for a basic LLM.

Good point. A really complicated switch statement then.

That wouldn’t even need AI. Thats just a fancy switch statement with a pleasant voice.

Twitch turbo ejected the largest streamer on its platform days after the messages were sent, so… likely pretty fucking inappropriate.

These were DMs, so never public, but the “tried to meetup at twitchcon” makes it seem like he was explicitly trying to rape a kid and thats where twitch, who could have just said nothing, hit the “fuck no” button.

Fuck this guy and good on them. Amazon still has some decent people, or at least did.

This game still an RNG grindfest like it was in early days?

Sounds legal overall for America. “Brandishing” is generally illegal, i.e pulling out your gun and pointing it at or actively threatening someone with it, regardless if you fire it.

Pulling out your legal gun in your home and setting it flat on your table? Hard to argue it was a threatening without a stated threat or some other action. It may have been one, but id be suprised if anyone would arrest someone over that.

OP pulling his own gun does make this a hilarious and potentially deadly situation. It’s very possible the father is a scared pissbaby and just starts blasting.

The days after release are probably the most hectic in the whole development cycle. No studio has enough QA to match all those players testing the game and finding breaking bugs.

The scramble to fix all these is insane, as they are happening during your “big money” days. If you’ve had to crunch up to release, the days after may just fucking end you.

Certainly has the evil callback covered

According to the lead there, they found out via the public announcement. No one at Paradox had the decency to actually let them know first.
