A significant amount of compsci angst post-graduation is caused by business majors and their lack of knowledge about what they're managing. But the people who are currently students aren't complaining about that actual grievance, they're mostly bitter about other majors having more fun.

Really makes me think they need a union. Also makes me wonder what all Linus learned from this guy who "taught me everything about management" if this is his style of management.

I work in IT, and every time I do an install (sometimes new computers, sometimes not) for someone I see Microsoft's little News widget they put on the Taskbar, the one that pops up a huge window if you mouse over it. Every time I see that, I ask the person if they ever use it, and they always say no. Then I ask them if they want it gone, and they always say yes, usually with some kind of relief. It's a matter of two clicks to do it, easier than going into the settings menu like your screenshot, but every computer I haven't been on previously has it. Now, I'd wonder why Microsoft would put something on the Taskbar that is, in my experience, universally disliked. To me it reeks of the pathetic, groveling, "I'll suck your dick" energy they have when someone installs Chrome.

Windows 10 changed a lot over the course of its lifetime, and while some feature are good, like Dark Mode, they're mostly useless or downright bad. So putting something that most people will never use and will greatly confuse and annoy the average user in a place that has been dedicated to a single function for at the very least Windows 10's entire lifetime (I think it's there in 8 and maybe 7 also) for seemingly no reason other than to fuck with people's muscle memory is just one more move very worthy of griping about, no matter how easy it is for users to turn off. Because 99% of users just won't, because they aren't confident enough to go futzing around in the settings. But they'll still get whatever god awful popup this button shows every time they try to show desktop like they've been doing for over a decade. It's yet another change that nobody asked for, nobody will use, and that the user will have to remember that it's different now for no reason.

No, it was him watching Moscow hookers pissing on a bed in the presidential suite of a hotel, with a previous resident of that room being Obama. It's been a while since I thought about the piss tape.

Vegeta's first act on screen is to blow up an entire planet, probably killing hundreds of millions

You aren't missing much.

Unless the throw up he's cleaning and blown out diaper he's changing are hers, probably not. Also "rugrats" he bathed.

Again

I think they're saying that the previous person, who quoted the enemy is both strong and weak thing about media reporting on Trump's polling, was not pointing it at the correct people, because a dispirate group of journalists/pollsters are portraying Trump as both strong and weak. Confused articles disagreeing with each other on the rocking boat that is polls a full year out does not a fascism make, is the point.

I get the blue and green ones (police and military), the red ones are for firefighters, right? To steal a phrase, nobody ever said fuck the fire department.

And when to sell them!

Reprinting some things, neglecting to reprint others, power creeping the stuff they did reprint out of the game, banning some stuff that was too powerful while printing other stuff that's just as good for the same reasons. You know, standard card game stuff.

No, see, passively continuing policy while trying to rachet it back when you realize how unpopular something is with your base is exactly the same as active hostility and escalation, fully justifying my refusal to participate in the system. I'm very smart.

An AI (in its current form) isn't a person drawing inspiration from the world around it, it's a program made by people with inputs chosen by those people. If those people didn't ask permission to use other people's licensed work for their product, then they are plagiarising that work, and they should be subject to the same penalties that, for example, a game company using stolen art in their game should face. An AI doesn't become inspired, it copies existing things to predict what it thinks its user wants to see. If we produce a real thinking AI at some point in the future, one with self determination and whatnot, the story will be different, but for now it isn't.

No, see, the spoiler effect, a well-documented phenomenon, isn't real and is just a lie to keep people from voting for third parties, who are super for real going to affect anything positively this time! It's your fault for not abandoning the only party with a chance to win against the fascist party in favor of checks notes Cornel West, a candidate so unserious he declared his party affiliation with the People's Party (a bunch of definitely not grifters featuring such intellectual titans as Jimmy Dore and Jesse "the Body/Mind" Ventura) only to immediately switch to the Green Party, only to immediately switch to Independent. Math isn't real and I'm very smart.

Lightning Returns is above 4! And it's above the other games in the 13 series! 10 2 is above 10 for some reason! This list is absurd just for those!

(not that anyone asked, but
6
10
7
12
5
4
10 2
1
3
2

Didn't play 8 9 or 13, or enough of 15 or 16 to have an opinion. 14 isn't on the original list but it's at the top)

And that group is also an incredibly small outlier, and wouldn't be considered in their calculations.

Mitch Gaylord was an Olympic Gymnast and bad actor, he invented two techniques, namely the Gaylord Flip and the Gaylord Two.

Alternatively, "Hi, I'm with the fire department and I would like to buy your on-fire house. Take this deal now, because the price is only going down!" But yeah, they probably said fuck this specific fire brigade two thousand years ago lol
