Not just "this needs to be illegal" but also "we will ENFORCE this to the fullest extent of the law, regardless of who commits the crime". The size of someone's bank account must not put them beyond the law.
At this point, if you want to attract the best talent in the game industry, the core tenet of your corporate culture needs to be employee retention. Treat your people well, and the talent will join, grow, and make incredible games. No one in the market will be able to touch you.
The Republican party is a white nationalist organization. The Ogles, Fines, and Boeberts are not outliers and should not be treated as such, just because they are the ones who go full mask off. They are representative of what this party is.
I cannot emphasize enough that these people are being laid off for failing to do things that are literally impossible
Of course he's angry! Look at the size of those pedals!
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Challenge for people who believe Claude *is* conscious and use it anyway: Explain how youβre not a slaver.
a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."
Lie on the floor while the bath is filling. Win-win.
Congratulations! It's nearly impossible to find work out there.

No, sir. DHS has to go. Root and branch. It was purpose-built to empower authoritarians, and we were better off without it.
Incredibly illuminating to compare income and hours worked across countries and states for ***the bottom 95% of earners only***. The typical Belgian earns as much as the typical Californian but works about 24% less

One of my friends was a herpetologist at the local zoo and she had Stories about feeding the pythons. She got a little careless one day and reached too far into the enclosure and the next thing she knew it was wrapped all the way up her arm.
If you like indie comics, this bundle is a hell of a deal. It includes 4 of our games too. All the publishers are still in court trying to get our product back from Diamond's warehouse as part of their bankruptcy mess. This effort is to help with our legal fees.

It cannot be stressed enough how these Republicans donβt see government jobs as jobs at all. They see them as titles, no-show gigs where they can do whatever they want. Thatβs why οΏΌthey hated the people in those jobs before, they thought it was a scam because they donβt believe in doing the work.

Hobbs' work in the Three Musketeers (1973) was a masterclass in fight choreography. My gold standard for swordplay on screen.
I get it. I truly do.
Why do you idiots keep pretending you're dealing with a political party that's acting in a spirit of bipartisanship? They're a pack of fascist thugs, a criminal syndicate masquerading as politicians. Everyone *except you* gets this. If this is the best you can do, step aside.
Please make a terrible ruckus about this, if you live in Oregon
this is fucking shocking, and while i know politics journalists think it's clichΓ© to point this out, a democratic president would be impeached for delivering this speech in this way, and rightly so.
A kawaiiju, as it were.
