If you wanna know why I find that a funny response to an ama:

Oh fuck! The people who make all the money are gonna give some money to the people that make all the money for the hard work of the developers?!?! Holy fuck! What news!

Stupid people… their level… beat you with experience blah blah blah

Nope.

Are you a child of divorce?

Sometimes, I really do wish Jesus were real and would speak to these idiots.

Exactly like that, yeah.

Autonomous helicopters to fight… fires… yes, fires.

There was a subreddit that I remember that was something like ‘real life the game’ in which people talked about real world events/ and role played as if the real world were a video game.

Things like “I saw in the patch notes that the wildfire event was happening in California again this year, when are the devs going to retire this one?” Or something like “my boyfriend and I have been playing together for four years, and today we got married in game!” And some people would add on to the posts too, adding like, “Hey OP, I attended the wedding and you looked so happy up on the stage! Wishing you both the best! Also did anyone else feel bad after eating the salmon dish?”

They didn’t really know the person, but people would just play along with the roleplay.

Working isn’t the only way to amass capital either. In fact, it is surely the slowest method.

Things like this are very interesting to me, considering a lot of what became ‘Nazi rhetoric’ was learned from the United States. We did eugenics, concentration camps, the red scare, defining groups as inferior, fostering anti-other hate mobs with public lynchings and the KKK, as well as invading countless countries killing leaders and civilians alike.

Should probably mark posts that show American symbols as NSFW as well.

It takes education, you can work your whole life at being a pro golfer, but if you never receive guidance, you will not reach your potential.

There is no mention at all of any payment for the summer intern in the article. Shouldn’t be a surprise, really.

Whole article about how massive success stories are one legal battle away from not being made in this country, as well as the exploitation of workers’ other skills without additional (if any) compensation. They completely miss that angle on the story somehow.

…that sounds to me like “survive the fall” more than “survive the week”

Have always really enjoyed writing poetry and playing with rhyme and meter. I’ve never enjoyed reading poetry from famous poets. The first time I became interested in “high status” poetry, just for its status, I heard about the newest Poet Loriet. I looked up their poems, all excited to read clear, interesting takes on the human condition.

I think it was probably Kay Ryan at that time. Here is a poem by Kay that I found online:

The Elephant in the Room
Kay Ryan

The room is
almost all
elephant.
Almost none
of it isn’t.
Pretty much
solid elephant.
So there’s no
room to talk
about it.

It wasn’t the typical art critique that a layman would typically jump to that filled me, “I could do that” it was tge far worse feeling of, “If I had written this, I wouldn’t have thought to show anyone”

I pretty much decided then and there that poetry, like most art, it seems, has little to do with content or quality. More so with means and notoriety.

How is it people are at all surprised out society created a new generation more obsessed with being popular online than anything else?

To who? Fucking Aqua Man?

It is very simple. When you are worried about yourself and your own actions that is normal. When you are concerned about what others choose, that is conservatism.

The results of programing a game with a small inexperienced team in a garage. No surprise.

Shame they are going to keep supporting the old game and the new version at the same time.

Person with very very minor role in failed franchise is making a new game as a job and being paid quite well to do more PR than work.

Yeah, people with jobs tend to do them.

Of the less than 50 people to ever have this job, none identified as a woman! It’s because old people and bigots retain so much public approval. And articles like this push that divide which is why the wealthy keep pushing them.
