If everyone on your team of 6 is 20% faster, you don’t necessarily need the 6th person. Maybe you put that towards more work, but that’s not very American, these days. Cut costs, cash out, fuck 'em

And then they’ll be grounded 🤷‍♂️ rules exist for a reason

Several kids from my elementary school disappeared, never to be heard from again. This happened again in middle school, and twice in high school.

Just because you weren’t paying attention back then or don’t remember now doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. As you said, crime was worse then.

Basically any time someone says “This didn’t happen back in my day!” the response can be “the dead ones can’t talk about it.”

If we didn’t have this, my kids would have a lot less freedom. Knowing where they are gives me much more peace of mind to let them roam further, and for longer than I would otherwise 🤷‍♂️

There is continually-mounting evidence that 2024 was rigged. We’re already done, our last fair election was in 2022, and it being even that recent is debatable.

Nobody becomes a billionaire without exploiting many, many, many people.

But yeah, she might also believe that she’s a good person

We already picked a game show host… is this actually worse? 🤷‍♂️ at least she’s a billionaire that pretends to care about people

You’re so tough, I’m so envious of you 🥺

Yes, an actor with his castings has absolutely no options 🙄 this is the only one he got a call-back for, obviously

Obviously shitty, but you seem to understand that and are working to stop. Nobody was permanently or seriously harmed, and you’re working on making reparations to the person that you harmed the most, even if they don’t know it.

Sounds like you were a shitty kid that didn’t know better, and that you’ve gained some forethought. Sucks that it mostly came from fear of consequences for yourself instead of empathy to others, but it also seems like you’re on the right path.

It’s okay to grow and to learn how to be a better person. Keep going. Seconding the other commenter that suggested therapy - even if not directly about this.

And a willingness to lie out your ass and fraudulently market for years

Nothing alleged about it. The main app wraps your prompt in a China-friendly one - at this point, I think people have mined the prompt itself? Scummy, sure, but it’s also the same way that literally every other online AI service works.

If you buy a PS5 just for AstroBoy, same. Its Game of the Year but def not the best ever PS5 game. God of War, Horizon, Ratchet and Clank, Spiderman…

Downside is, that devs actually need to promote their stuff instead of completely relying on just being discovered on the platform

If it’s easier to get on the platform, but it requires that you spend the same amount on marketing as development, is it actually easier to get on the platform? Sounds like the worst of both worlds for everyone except Valve.

That’s not a good thing. The Steam store sucks these days, there’s far too much complete shit

Ohhhh no, poor Microsoft can’t further their monopoly until they comply with court orders! Poor, poor corporation

Only hours? lol then that’s fine

I remember reading through the entire thing in one sitting… it is LONG. You can’t look away

“Because that’s what my foreign handlers are paying me to do”

Saved you a click

Is it mismanagement if the reason it’s only on one console at launch is because the devs want to get each game out as soon as possible, only having to focus on one piece of hardware?

I mean, yeah? Bad decisions for good reasons are still bad decisions 🤷‍♂️
