It was coded to never allow the first pick to be a mine.

They don’t consider it a crime if they don’t believe the victim is a person.

Body cams film people being shot. Body cams film people being dragged out of their beds in their underwear and detained. And we’re clutching our pearls at some farts and groans that no one is going to watch? If you can’t handle someone possibly hearing you fart you shouldn’t be a cop.

But fine, allow cops to mute the audio. Problem solved.

If they mute the audio anytime they are not in the bathroom it is assumed they are trying to hide something and the missing audio is assumed to be damaging to the cops testimony.

Don’t put mirrors in front of urinals. Problem solved.

Unless you’re going to the bathroom in front of a mirror why does it need to be paused at all?

They thought they were too ingrained in everything for people to leave so they could start enshitfying and everyone would just have to deal with it. They knew they would lose some market share by doing so but are gambling on the increased profits from targeted ads and AI training data would make up for it.

It’s also likely that for a single glorious quarter stockholder value was slightly increased, therefore it was a complete success.

Epic pays a flat rate to offer games for free, they don’t pay per download.

Downloading them just helps Epic inflate their “active users” number when talking to investors.

it’s at least aware of its own state in the same way that your car is aware of it’s mileage and engine condition.

I agree: not aware at all.

If people keep striking every Friday it will be noticed. Sure, it won’t be as impactful as striking every day, but it starts a good foundation to build on while having some immediate impact.

You know story and gameplay are different things right? It’s possible for both to be good.

If your votes don’t federate then they have no effect other than you seeing the arrow light up.

Is there an alternative to Google maps that has traffic updates? I want to avoid Google where possible, but last week Google maps warned me about an accident on the highway and saved me being stuck in it for hours.

Correct, so people need to stop expecting the rule of law to protect them and need to start protecting themselves.

Well then, guess you should just keep your head down and submit. All this “2nd amendment” and “don’t tread on me” talk was nothing but bluster. Maybe someone else will come invade the US to introduce democracy for you.

On the one hand we can reduce traffic and the time people need to waste traveling to and from work. On the other hand, this guy can’t keep track of his co-workers whose work has nothing to do with him.

all the team is in Paris and he’s not. They don’t give a fuck what he says.

That’s a leadership problem, not a remote work problem. You handle it remotely the same way you would in person.

And petulant child methods. “I’m going to make my OWN UN, then everyone has to do what I say!”

He didn’t even think it through that much. His thought process was:

“The UN won’t let me do what I want. I’m going to make my own UN with me in charge so I can do anything I want.”

“The UN I’m making is so awesome because I’m in charge, I should charge people to join.”

“The King of France was mean about my super awesome UN, I’m going put tariffs on him! What does France sell? Wine and Champaign.”

Thoughts 2 and 3 are completely unconnected. If you spent 10 minutes explaining the connection to him he’d think “I’m smarter than I thought, either way I get money!”

The problem with Munchkin is it is fine as a short game. Unfortunately to only strategy is to make the game longer by preventing someone else from winning. If it lasted a set number of rounds and then whomever was the highest level won it would be a better game.

Just shows how fundamentally ingrained it is in Trump’s head that he thinks he’s King and can dictate what everyone in his country does. He does not understand that any government doesn’t have that power.

•Whites becoming a minority
•Gender not being a fundamental way of organizing society

These two points can be simplified down to “their hierarchies being disrupted.”
People who have gotten so used to living with privilege that equality feels like oppression. They believe that to give others a bigger piece of the “treat people well” pie their piece needs to become smaller. They don’t understand that you can just make the pie bigger.
