For the record, I'm not saying I agree with their methods, but I don't think it's fair to them either that everyone is acting like they did irreparable harm to the monument.

How does that help?

We're talking about it

Just like the Mona Lisa incident - they aren't doing irreparable harm to the monument. It definitely gets the discussion going, which feels like their ultimate goal.

Pence isn't his running mate this time, wouldn't work.

I'm really enjoying the story. It's not the best produced show, but it's expanding on some elements from the SW universe that haven't been thoroughly explored yet, like how the Jedi were viewed by those who didn't see them as the protectors of the galaxy, how the Jedi functioned outside of war time (they appeared to be very political), and how do the Jedi handle themselves when they make mistakes.

I think there are legitimate things to criticize with the show, but it's not worthy of negative reviews it's receiving.

Jonestown used Flavor Aid. Trump would still use Flavor Aid, but call it Kool Aid and still charge you for it.

With options trading, a lot of stock movement is reflective of speculation rather than true value.

The way I see it: PC has a high upfront cost with minimal maintenance/upgrade cost to continue using it with newer releases for years.

Consoles have a cheaper upfront cost but no maintenance/upgrade. Once it's obsolete (as determined by the industry, not the owner) then you are forced to buy a new console for new releases.

For me, in practice, I know for a fact that I have spent less on my PC components and games than I would if I wanted the same experience on a console.

I've been a PC gamer for 3 decades. Most budget conscious PC gamers I know upgrade individual components as needed. Done this way, you can easily get more for your money than having to buy a new console every cycle.

Holy fuck that's hilarious. I'm definitely going to start slipping this into real life conversations with my ultra conservative family members.

I think he's talking about the next Mass Effect game.

The game console industry proved this was a viable business plan a couple of decades ago.

They probably realized it's not profitable because 90% of a user's visits are home, work, store... wash rinse repeat day in and day out. They can probably get more meaningful data from the person through their other various tracking methods.

Are ransom attacks on the rise in recent months? Any sites that track these sort of things?

Good. I hope more forced live service games flop so execs will get it in their heads it's ok not to make a live service game and still make money from it.

Only a matter of time for another Challenger incident to set space exploration back another 20 years.

I think most in society get that human space exploration is extremely risky, but to flirt with that risk with a known variable tipping the scales the wrong way seems like a business decision rather than an engineering one.
