The most lucrative companies on Earth make their money by bending you with bent content, little by little. They expand your horizons, your wallet, then your asshole, incrementally by millimeters.
This is a weird place to put your "hey c'mon now guys let's be fair here" flex.
If you go back a little into the 80's, you've got great stuff happening with Sierra, LucasArts, Origin, Microprose, Infocom, all sorts of great, smart stuff. You've also got the heydays of the NES and Sega, if you're too young to remember Atari, Coleco, Intellivision, etc. People were playing flight sims, including space flight sims.
The best sims, the best adventures, the best RPGs, all came from the 80's.
Yeah, well, something's got to give. I don't like the idea either but when it comes down to it, the scientific case for the harm behind glyphosates isn't compelling enough to take it away from an agricultural sector that has been absolutely brutalized over the last decade. The current case against is at least as political/legal/financial as it is a health concern.
The bizarre "polar vortexes" and generally stupidly cold, unseasonal, and rapidly-changing weather this year has done slightly frightening damage all over the board. This is on top of massive droughts over way too much of our breadbaskets.
This is on top of foreigners, "philanthropists," asset portfolio-holders, and a bevy of shadowy interests taking advantage of the modern difficulty of farming, and giving them an easy way out, by throwing cash at them to leave. Good financial sense for those getting out; bad for domestic food production.
I raised an eyebrow at this move at first, but then looked into it, and even Kennedy and his MAHA concern decided to take the L on this one, so maybe there's at least a chance this isn't another public-fucking.
That's the thing--whenever you hear these claims, you've got to devote a minute or two finding out how they collected their data, and whether you believe it even possible to know what they claim to know.
For instance, if it's streaming numbers, you can at least tell how many devices are processing the show (which is why I asked about a Buffalo Wild Wings). If it's not that, then how?
I have a strong suspicion that they're mostly just inventing these numbers.
A few thoughts:
Does a Buffalo Wild Wings count as like 30 viewers?
What proportion of viewers booted it up like YTbers have been "watching" Star Trek Academy?
This must be that 'generational trauma' I'm always hearing about.
I love them prying at the door and clubbing the windows with their animal fists.
I've been fairly successfully ad-blocked for a decade, so I see about 3 ads per year, usually when I'm in a hotel room watching movies with the kids.
It's like stepping into a parallel, ugly dimension. Glimpses into a weird world rife with competent blacks bossing all over the place, being effortlessly competent and smart while white women defer and fawn.
The few remaining white men are firmly in the schlemiel/schlimazel/schmuck paradigm, forever dropping the soup, and forever having the soup dropped upon them. Pathetic and weak, their women can hardly bare the sight of them let alone their presence.
Now take this pill. It will do mysterious things that aren't specified. Also you'll get diarrhea.
LOL You, sir, sound like you could use an adjustment to your medication!
An army made entirely out of kamikaze is not a very good army.
Not trying to be racist
Don't worry, you'll get there eventually.
I keep chutney around so I can make Braaibroodjies. But that's pretty simple, just a grilled cheese with onion, tomato, and (mango) chutney.
It's a Boer recipe, so white people food even though "from" South Africa.
And here I thought Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea was a weird direction to go with worshiping Anne Frank.
As I recall, the most frequently lynched demo was Italians, which eventually led toa Government-pushed reconciliation which got us Columbus Day. Which is funny, because that's one holiday that the people most obsessed with lynching are always trying to do away with.
Well. "Funny" as in exhibit #1,245,557 of these people being ignorant, lying fucknauts with zero intellectual integrity or consistency.
Man, take that "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal" Kissinger quote but sub in "Milo" for "America."
Not especially good cosplay.
Allen Quatermain maybe?
I'd say Hercule Poirot has held up pretty well, except the last several execrable games made from the IP.
Jim Henson and his whole operation, including everyone behind Sesame Street, has always been very sus.
Putin's sporting a very fancy toupee. Also a convincing nose prosthetic.
Most nationals don't often stray very far from where they belong.
This doesn't apply to rootless wanderers and globe-trotting opportunists.
This is such a fucking crisis, and nobody does anything about it. New England is an ideological mix--almost a 50/50 split. But the Dems totally dominate and besides letting a few pet "conservatives" hold office, they eat up all the elections. Because every ground-level Dem group has teams who go to housing developments, old folks' homes, etc. and "help them" fill out a bunch of ballots, collect, and deliver them, pushing it from split to 60/40 or 70/30 in their favor.
"Mail-in balloting" has made this problem at least twice as bad. Always one way, always in one direction. Personally I wish this shit was cracked down on. But if we must operate as corrupted savages in this fashion, I at least wish there was counter-shittery that goes the other way sometimes.
I am 100% rooting for the parasites here on this occasion.
Everyone who downticked this is weak and gay.
Have a good day.
This is a he? I always got a stronger she impression from this one.
I hate to break it to you, but "stakeholder theory" has been the norm across all business schools, this problem being worse the more "elite" the school, since at least the early 2000s.
You and sense and reason may agree, but literally everyone who moves the world has an opposing opinion.
