Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

I love being in my late 30s so much. I love not giving a shit about being famous or successful anymore. I love prioritizing being comfortable, and being around people who love me.

Professional wrestling is doing quite well other than some growing pains as rosters adjust… It’s the Fed that sucks shit through a straw. Stop lumping the company that doesn’t even want to be called a wrestling company in with the companies that are proudly representing the art form. 🤼♂️

The thing about Make America Great Again is that it’s clear and actionable to voters regardless of any prior knowledge, while being vague enough that you can project any idea into it. “Strong floor, no ceiling” is just confusing meaningless rhetoric to anyone who doesn’t follow venture capitalists
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

I'm not going to mince words: Wargames was a miserable experience even whilst drunkenly watching it over two nights with some friends.
Every match was slow, ponderous and felt meaningless. Even the best match of the night felt overwrought and the sponsor plugs were so frequent as to be insulting.

WWE PPV structure in theory should be a home run. Less matches to display the best of what you have to give those matches proper focus but when those matches don't over deliver it feels empty. Especially when you have a whole lotta of ads in between those matches.

It's not great that a student can turn in a bad essay but vaguely point to the Bible and religious beliefs as an excuse for not following the actual assignment and terrible writing. That's not what college is supposed to be.
The professor did nothing wrong but she was pulled off the course anyways.

“People don’t have a choice if work makes them use A/I”
I refuse to use A/I. I voice that on any project I touch.
If you’re making “A/I dubs” of animes, you’re the same as a scab during a strike.
Just because it keeps YOU secure, doesn’t mean you’re absolved from the damage you’re causing others.

No, I 100% agree that computer RPGs these days have too much handholding. I, too, yearn for the days of being able to spend hours crafting my perfect build from hundreds of available options, only to discover that it mathematically cannot survive the mandatory rat fight portion of the first dungeon.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.
