It is just a store. People want to buy games from a social platform for some reason.

Why do these articles never have a screenshot of the change. So annoying.

Gen Z is app savvy, not tech savvy. Very very different.

I didn’t actually believe this, but it was fun to entertain the idea.

Here’s why. At the time, there were a bunch of very odd coincidences. I’ll do my best to remember the best of them.

• The CIA/NSA (one of the “secret” agencies) put out a budget report showing a large amount of money that was not trackable, in the billions.
• Coincidentally, the section of the pentagon hit by the “plane” was reportedly where financial records were stored.
• By “plane”, I mean object. If you watch the 1 video that got out (all other videos were confiscated) from the nearby gas station, the thing that hits the pentagon does not look like a plane but instead a missile.

Next!

• reportedly, the owner of the twin towers took out a massive insurance policy against the buildings the day or week before 9/11 (I forget exact timing)
• also, the building was covered in asbestos, the cost to remove was in the billions, and the cost to keep the building occupied always also increasing

Next!

• building 7 (I think that’s the right one) collapsed under what appeared to be demolishing conditions
• building 7 was never hit by a plane or anything else, it just dropped like it was purposefully demolished

Edit: forgot one!

• the towers were obviously hit by planes, we have plenty of video evidence of this. The controversy is around how the towers actually fell. This is where the “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” meme comes from.

There are more, but it’s been 20 years and my memory is hazy.

Overall, there were some oddities around the whole event that, when allowing yourself to think completely outside of reality, make sense as to why it was an inside job.

Finally, personally I believe the Saudis did it in cooperation with Bin Laden and their goal was to bankrupt America. They did a pretty good job, from their perspective.

I may be ignorant about this topic, but has Tencent ever done anything for gaming other than buy up already successful companies?

Say it louder with me for the people in the back.

Piracy is not stealing.

Is anyone surprised? Brilliant engineers going to work at Google expecting to work on world changing software and instead work on selling more ads.

How miserable.

You aren’t paying for the smartness. You are actually getting a subsidized TV that should cost a whole lot more but is being sold for cheap since it is also a data collection device.

Non smart TVs are more expensive than their smart counterparts.

The only answer is to never give your smart tv access to your network and to use an external device for streaming.

Was looking at a job posting for a role in CA and the range was, I shit you not, 75k-395k.

I actually like daily standups. I know many don’t, but they can be really useful.

What did you do yesterday. What are you doing today. Any issues for the group?

Then get back to work!

There is a great way to monitor employee’s performance. This one weird trick will save you losing your best employees!

Are their tasks getting done on time and with quality work?

Congrats! You just learned how to treat your employees like adults.

Now kindly fuck off and let me continue to work in my underwear.

The slow march back to cable is unstoppable.

Pirate everything. Share everything.

Piracy is an access problem, not a consumer problem.
