I'm very glad to see that US workers finally start to make their voices heard on a meaningful scale!

And a little amused at the utter inability of managements to deal with a world in which "just boss the underlings around, because we can" isn't a viable tactic anymore.

Walked right into this one, didn't he?

I could have sworn that this was her armpit from the back

Civil "war": the mighty Empire and the heroic Sotrmcloaks deployed their vast armies and the clash of the 12 guys began!

Let's not forget that thread's data collection is so atrocious that it didn't launch in small and exotic markets like... Say.... The whole of the EU.

Hey, 'Muricans, how come we need to pressure every company into compliance for you?

Can we talk about the definition of a "surge", please!

"you have error in documents"

"What would that be?"

"In field 'name' is not 'Vladimir Putin'. Grave error in documents, we cannot accept"

"The child cannot live, it is a grave danger to your health and will never be able to survive more than an hour once you've destroyed your body carrying it to term and bringing it into this world"
"So... we need to abort the pregnancy?!
!What? Nooo, you are far to alive for that. We need to let you suffer for a while, so you are close to death enough. Then, we will be able to abort the pregnancy. No worries, you might die but it's not guaranteed and it will only leave you and your partner scarred for life since you didn't only loose your child, you suffered immensely as well"
"but... why do you make me go through this?"
"Because a bunch of bitter, balding white republican gnomes decided that this was 'a safe place for little babies'"

The number of skeletons inside of a human body is statistically greater than 1.

I don't get this whole push against abortion. I mean, you can be against abortion... but people seem to feel so strongly about this that they are happily willing to sacrifice doctor-patient-confidentiality, risk dead women and whatnot. I... I just don't get it. There are so many issues on this world that should trigger all the same impulses but don't get responses nearly as strong.

Be it child abuse, child soldiers, child murders, child sexual abuse, whatever.... yet, somehow living children that can really feel shit aren't as important to protect as lumps of cells that can't feel shit yet because they have about 7 brain cells none of which is working yet...

My wife got me a copy of Mass effect Andromeda as a gift once. She bought the physical copy (or so she thought) since that makes a better gift. When I opened the case, there was literally nothing in there but a code for EA Origin on a sticker.

Found the backend dev. "CUT THIS AESTHETICS NONSENSE! GIMME THE VARIABLE CONTENTS ALREADY! WE'RE 3.54 NANOSECONDS BEHIND!"

Thing is: there is always the "next better thing" around the corner. That's what progress is about. The only thing you can do is choose the best available option for you when you need new hardware and be done with it until you need another upgrade.

"Fast" means "close" or "almost" in German. Yeah, I agree. They almost had me convinced there were no alternatives to their little browser-data-collector-thingy.

Denuvo has become a very strong indicator to me that not the game devs are calling the shots during development, but the Excel-sheet-business-suit-monkeys are.

Only some business-fool would look at a proposal to buy that piece of performance-guzzling crap and go "Hey, then everyone who'd be a pirate otherwise will buy my product and spend money in muh cash shop, that's totally worth the investment", ignoring the immense drawbacks for paying costumers.

especially in a frickin' coop-shooter where piracy will never be as big of a deal because people want to play together with others on your frickin' servers anyway....

This notion that big companies have is just ludicrous. They come up with whatever business model that obviously cannot work in the long run but then see it as their right that society make it work for them.

Oh, and put OpenAI on the slave labor list as well

Who would have thought that a McAfee might one day actually detect malicious agents in a system?

Tha.means that they trust you enough to not turn what they are watching against them at least. Yes, men tend to be isolated enough that sharing what they like to watch on YouTube requires at least some respect.

I'd bet that this was not about the sauce. There is either some mental illness or something else at play.
