Sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for CEOs to be scored, Metacritic-style, based on how others evaluate how they run a company. I like to imagine it would encourage more restraint. Their incompetence does real damage. You shouldn't have to suffer executives just because you want to be a gamedev.

The thing which we all said was happening but apparently never was until it did
Google has agreed to pay $68M to settle a class-action lawsuit that alleged the technology giant's voice assistant had illegally recorded users (even if they didn’t activate it with “Hey Google”) and then shared their private conversations with advertisers.

I heard there was a Cohen song
And all the gentiles got it wrong
But you don’t really know the lyrics do ya?
Cause mostly it’s about getting laid
And sex and love and Jewish faith
But all the Christians heard was “Hallelujah”

When I was younger, I found Edea's speech in Deling City near the end of disc one of FFVIII extremely unrealistic. A villain, going fully mask off, and the crowd just continues cheering?
