I know why, but the thing that made me the saddest about the OP live action series is that they didn't have more 3 sword style Zoro

Waterfall is missing the part where the customer realizes they didn't actually want to go to Mars they just wanted to view it out of a telescope.

But now they can only travel to Mars and the telescope is out of the budget because you spent so much money on the rocket

My favorite was getting reamed because you put 30 minutes over the estimated hours on a task.

It made task accounting a nightmare as you'd have to dump hours onto unrelated task whenever something inevitably took longer than expected.

The announcement also includes a statement about reducing management to IC ratio by 15%.

This is 100% voluntary layoffs.

Then the Playstation gets dusty and soggy. Better to replace it after each use.

I think Cyanide and Happiness did a good job encapsulating your point and why everyone clowned on it at the time.

Honestly you want the exact opposite.

Marketers go where the audience is. It's a rot that can never be fully removed.

Pretty sure this is when Twitter let everyone buy checkmarks so you had a lot of tweets like this.

10 years ago it was copy/pasting from stack overflow

I feel like I'm getting too old for shitposts...

And not make the site impossible to use.

Most sites nowadays its impossible to actually read a goddamn article without 5 pop in videos and ad breaks.

Yeah like the default is 1 dollar for 20 or something pathetic.

And there's a mandatory humble bundle tip that used to not be there.

Problem is you can't milk $10000 out of the single player games like you can GaaS ones. Meaning it's harder to pitch to investors.

Personally I can't stand it and end up just avoiding AAA titles altogether because of it.

I want whatever OP is smoking

Reading the full quote

“Trump has created a special kind of a hold … and he’s remade the party and he has a special kind of place in Pennsylvania,” Fetterman said Thursday to a crowd at The Atlantic Festival. “And I think that only deepened after that first assassination attempt.”

“I also want people to understand, you know, and it’s not science, but there is, there’s energy and there’s kinds of anger on the ground in Pennsylvania, and people are very committed and strong,” Fetterman said. “Trump is going to be strong and … we have to respect that.

“I’m not going to sit down with a sitting vice president and tell her or say ‘Hey, no, no you better,’” he said. “I’m certainly not going to ‘mansplain’ that [to] the vice

I think he's just saying don't take PA for granted and there's a lot of work. It doesn't sound like an endorsement at all.

Yeah the DNC trying to be kingmakers and shoving her to be the candidate because it was "her turn" was so demoralizing at the time.

I think this year will be different. A lot of people stayed home in 2016 because they hated Hilary but thought she had it in the bag. I don't think people are making the same mistake again. Especially after Roe v Wade.

Does Nate Silver have a new site?

I just don't work at places that do time tracking like that anymore.

Holy shit

Yeah it's why at later jobs I advocate for complexity points and don't do consulting anymore.

Tying money to hours spent on a task just encourages all the wrong behavior.

No Starch Press usually does good stuff.

No Starch, Manning, and O'Reilly are my go to publishers for tech books.

I try to avoid Packt like the plague.

Remember that this creature sees you when you're sleeping.

Oh I missed that. TBH I read this from a different story.

Yeah the quote is bad.

Reading this story it still just sounds like he hates the approach they're taking about campaigning against him.

Do I think saying Trump deserves a "second chance" is dumb and gross given how much the fucker gets away with on a daily basis? Absolutely. This was not a good way to phrase it. This doesn't sound like someone sucking up to Trump though. It just sounds like someone that doesn't want to lose PA.

I also haven't paid too much attention to Fetterman so if there's other instances of him saying shit like this then I'm happy to stand corrected.

Lower than I expected

People that advocate for presentation naming haven't endured a major company rebrand.

I think you can patient gamer it but it only works if you're heavily familiar with that time.

I was really into COD4 and grew up during the Bush administration so I knew exactly what Spec Ops was critiquing. If you don't have that experience though I agree it does not land.

It's like trying to boycott Doordash for takeout. Even if you don't use the app chances are the place you're ordering from uses their drivers without you knowing.

I think Avowed is the only thing I'm kinda excited for and that's more of a "This sounds kinda promising" than "Oh shit I can't wait!"

I'd argue not quite.

Enshittification is taking a good product or service and actively making it worse in the name of money.

Play stupid games...implies you're doing something bad from the start and are going to eventually suffer consequences. No good starts with this.

It's actually Missouri

I'm waiting to see how the industry shakes out in a few months and see where things land.

100% though I'm pissed. The way they've handled RTO has been abysmal.

Isn't System Shock Bioshock in Space?

As someone that grew up in Ohio this entire debacle is heartbreaking.

Fuck Trump and Vance for their fear mongering horseshit.
