My theory as a non Star Wars fan (please don’t ban me, your memes are too good!), is that Star Wars was kind of a right time and place kind of thing.

It worked because of the state of things in the late 70s, when things were going in the wrong direction and it was rather obvious which was a new thing in the world.

So Star Wars and the whole struggle with a comically obvious evil side (which what kills it for me as a 90s kid) is a critique of the time.

Not a big fan of Star Wars (I know right? Why would I mention that here) and even I got to admit that laser holding scene was badass.

Sounds like prostitution.

As a fellow non people person, god I wish I was part of your team!

I bet ML would also think people with glasses are smarter or some dumb thing like that.

Please note that I semi like bill gates as I agree with you, he is one of the better ones.

But having said that, there is no such thing as a good billionaire. My comment was more about how all their actions are for self benefit.

I believe he has stake in Pfizer hence his stance in this post.

isn’t his goal to rid the world of preventable diseases?

Only if he can get the credit.

Although that sucks, I can’t blame people for naturally putting some fault on her even for the wrong reasons.

I don’t think she should struggle but she did raise him. The punishment doesn’t fit the crime but imo parents should take responsibility of raising shitty kids.

Yeah, I feel bad for his mom and sister struggling but he clearly fucked around and now he is finding out.

I’m not going to fault a mother for standing by their child, no matter what he did.

You can stand by your child by always having room in your home for them. You can still condemn their action and say they might not know any better or something like that.

half of the industry hasn’t worked out how to test database backups regularly

Wait your suppose to do that? I mean, don’t get me wrong, that makes sense, but so far 0% of the companies I’ve worked for do that.

Holy shit it is based on the guitarists… that makes it so much better!

Camera footage?

Not that I want to defend these people but, why would they want that to cost a lot? Make a lot of BS jobs?

It would still be kinda tolerable if they stopped there,

Oh I fully agree. The issue with capitalism is the never ending desire for more, I could easily handle static greed.

What’s ironic is that the big players only got the mainstream attention by providing an ad free experience at first.

Back when Internet was just hitting critical mass, there were paid sites, free sites with ads, and big players. The big players didn’t rely on ads or pay to use their web services. They took money to provide their core service and the website was a “free management tool”.

Now that they have killed the ad only business model (can’t pay for a website with simple and ignorable ads), and convinced a lot of people you should pay for just digital services, they are finally free to enshitify everything, make people pay for digital only services now that it’s normal, and try to maximize ad revenue. Truly the enshitification model!

What movie?

Everything you described is static content which can be expensive with big videos.

The cost is way higher when you have accounts for your users and they can search/query for data.

Unfortunately, Bethesda are the only ones in town who are capitalising on “Bethesda style games”.

I thought a lot of games are like that now. I personally love the fallout universe but hate the game style. Hate now things like horizon zero, Witcher, Elden ring, assassins creed and all those games have slow pace open world with huge RPG elements.

More like Bethesda game style become an industry standard. That’s my perspective though, im sure those who like the format don’t agree.

That US system is better cause the privileged don’t have to wait…
