  1. Soon the world will know what anyone with a functioning brain has known for some time. Reddit is worthless.
  2. :First off his post reads like an except "Baby's First History Book" authored by someone who loves Ayn Rand. Secondly, "full government" vs. "half government" is one of the stupidest things I've ever read. And lastly, it's not like Germany and Korea are in petri dishes somewhere, free to flourish or not based on their own merits and circumstances. It's not like they were part of the Cold War or something, no. Also this.
  3. Rich Californians and Texans love bouncing to Idaho for tax and "other" reasons.
  4. I'm not intimately familiar with Halo lore, but wasn't the SPARTAN program initially developed to counter human insurgents then the timing of the Covenant threat just kinda happened to work out?
  5. As you'd expect, the dumbest motherfuckers on Twitter are wondering if this was a terror attack. THEY'RE JUST ASKING QUESTIONS
  6. I think this is part of it, but I suspect that a larger contributor is the lack of meaningful consequences for when said extraction goes badly or just straight up fails. Why WOULDN'T you go all in on a shitty hand if you're largely playing with house money and your personal financial security is guaranteed regardless of outcome? I don't gamble often but if someone gave me some cash and compelled me to do so, I'd absolutely bet differently than if it was my own money on the table. If there were few meaningful consequences paid by people who punish fucked the housing market or poisoned the earth with something like eh VW scandal... why should we expect the people controlling the money to do anything but bet recklessly? The potential benefits are enormous, the downside for them is negligible.
  7. This is a bummer mainly because I feel that Wyll and Karlach, Wyll in particular, have threads that are finished but feel slapdash compared to the rest of the origin characters. Wyll is a character to whom a lot of things happen and considering his family ties, should have had much more interesting things happen to and around him. Without spoilers here, I covered some of this earlier in the thread. One of his big consequences can simply… be undone? In a way that doesn’t make sense and isn’t particularly acknowledged. I dunno that DLC could fix this, but he feels a bit undercooked. Karlach isn’t the same, it’s just that the stuff about her isn’t really all that interesting and her endings have the potential to be just kinda… there. There’s an obvious potential for where DLC for her could go and it’s a shame we won’t get that. But good on Larian for securing the bag, realizing that Hasbro blows, and getting the fuck out of dodge.
  8. Yesterday at PAX East I collected the final Puzzle Swap piece. Took me a week shy of thirteen years.
  9. Elon is a man who thinks posting publicly available flight information is the same as posting assassination coordinates and that DEI initiatives lower the exam, testing, and hiring standards for people who aren't white men. He's a fucking moron. Of course this will be selectively enforced for the chuds.
  10. Absolutely. If Ohioguy had $44B to spend he'd still buy games used for his stepdaughter.
  11. Counterpoint... Ohioguy might bury a statue upside down in his yard so his house would sell despite not being Catholic but he wouldn't spend $44B on a website then punish fuck it to death while updating its TOS to placate Nazis.
  12. Musk knows so little about so many topics he speaks so confidently about, I’d rather take advice from @ohioguy24 on a random subject than Elon.
  13. "Super apps" seems a bit sketchy to me since I don't know that's really a thing? Also is there a definition of monopolization that would include owning half of a market at best? I don't mean that rhetorically, I genuinely don't know.
