corporate profits decrease very slightly

This is the thing that people will reflexively point to, but this:

quality of life increases

This is the real issue. If quality of life increases, workers are less desperate, and are less willing to put up with their employers BS. Moreover, if other jobs are also paying a living wage, it’s much easier to quit.

We have seen, over and over, that businesses are willing to spend money to exert control over workers. They’ll do it even if it means a decline in profits, or even in revenue. Because at the end of the day, if you have your needs met, any money left over is just power, and power is meant to be used to control others.

Is this guy Trump’s VP pick because he’s the only person he could find that talks like Trump? The guy’s a rotting word salad machine

Aww man, am I the only straight person in the room again? Story of my adult life

Things didn’t go right this session, but with some new players…

The canon is anything that appears in the games. There are clear timelines between many of the games, asserted within the game text or game subtext.

Producers have gone on record echoing what’s states in the HH, both before and after it was published.

Do not mistake the canon for something the producers and designers feel in any way bound by. That’s not what the term means when discussing media.

If it’s still 9 months away, there’s no real reason to announce it publicly before the Christmas season. The fact that the original Switch’s sales are flagging is not a reason to announce, since it’s not launching in time for the holidays. Its announcement isn’t going to spurr Switch 1 sales.

When it’s announces will be entirely deoendent on when retailers need to know launch details. Once it’s outside of Nintendo, they’ll have to announce things publicly or risk losing control over the narrative.

Weirdly enough, language largelt evolves independently from other species.

Then the OP just rented the software.

Adobe should pay more than the inflation-adjusted price - multiples of it, even - so that the repayment is actually punative.

I think one should be rather dismissive of “it would be easier for me if others engaged in behaviours that have resulted in their being abused”.

Your fucking convenience doesn’t come before their sense of safety.

I Magic-Eyed it and saw the same things. Fin, hunch back, and shifted pylons.

“Good analysis, just one nitpick: I blanket disagree with everything you’ve said in your editorial section because raisins.”

Because our whole economic system revolves sound and rewards rent seeking, and paying people operates in opposition to that.

Back at the attacking ship, obviously!

GIF is pronounced GIF not because the G stands for Graphical, but because it is its essence. It is what is calls out to be… Called.

And because it’s not peanut butter.

And for the same reason, JPEG is pronounced JFEG not because the P stands for Photographic, but because that is the expression of its true essence.

I just didn’t know it before today.

Justice for JΦEG!

This is it. This is the moment Risa went too far.

I feel like the issue with Discovery is that it just shoe-horns in an overproduced and under considered last 2 episodes every season in the name of “stakes”.

Whatever his sexuality

It’s plain and simple. He’s pretty forward about that.

I live right at the northern tip of their range. I’d never seen one in person until 2 years ago. Now they’re a common sight in my back yard, and it’s amazing.

I super didn’t expect them to sound like car alarms, though.

Yes, tab stacking and tiling keep me using Vivaldi at work. They’re great, and I remain super sad that there’s no real equivalent in Firefox.

I still use Firefox on my personal computers, but I silently weep a little bit whenever it would be super useful to stack or tile tabs.

useless political crap
