I think the argument is that Democrats helped a 3rd party candidate with a similar name to the Republican candidate get on the ballot in the hopes some voters would accidentally pick the 3rd party candidate, thereby “stealing” votes from the Republican. It’s entirely plausible that’s exactly what happened, so I’d be pissed, too, but I feel no sympathy for them with all the other bullshit they’re trying to pull.
This one really bugs me. I worked for a company that got bought out by private equity. They sold most of the real estate that the company owned to a company that the same private equity people owned, and then made the stores pay exorbitant rent for the property the used to own. Meanwhile, they sold pieces of the company until there was nothing left, and then closed all the stores. Thousands of people lost their livelihoods.
I’m not opposed to having people who know how to run a business, but they should criminalize certain ways of running it. Any business practices that take advantage of workers or tax loopholes should be banned from teaching in business schools.
I’d go one step further and eliminate qualified immunity. Give citizens the ability to bring charges against cops for violating any of their rights. If the cops can’t produce bodycam footage of the incident, it’s a default judgment against them.
Love it. Employee steals from the company and goes to jail. Company steals from employee and just has to pay a fine. Always seemed like bullshit to me.
Isn’t that already illegal? Just need to close the loopholes I think.
Didn’t Epic just force some of their Devs into a slop-first programming model?
It’s sci-fi when Karl Urban has short hair, and fantasy when Karl Urban has long hair.
So they’re going to give him publicity by letting him die in the most metal way possible?
I could understand doing this if your brand was thriving, but this just feels like trying to squeeze money out of a sinking business instead of fixing the problems that are sinking it.
Poor photoshop actually makes memes funnier than perfect AI would. It adds another layer of irony.
Hopefully people will start to realize that abandoning vulnerable people won’t stop fascist assholes from demonizing you anyway. Their criticisms are in bad faith, so there’s no way to appease them.

Buy decent memory, and a cheaper SSD. Since the MoBo is backwards compatible you should be able to get a PCI-E 4.0 SSD that won’t cost as much as a 5.0, and when (if) prices finally come down you can upgrade to a better one. Since a DDR4 MoBo isn’t compatible with DDR5 RAM, you’re stuck with DDR4 until you upgrade the MoBo again.
Good advice, confusing source

That’s one of my favorite parts, too. The story is relatively “small.” It’s 2 judges, one building, and some bad guys. That’s why I love Dredd’s final interaction with his boss so much. I don’t remember it verbatim, but it’s something like:
Boss: what happened in there?
Dredd: drug bust
Boss: you look like you’ve been through it.
Dredd: Perps were…uncooperative
