Interesting take. Let’s try it another way, Putin can stop his war I mean 3 day turned 3 year special military operation today. The Russians have failed. His people keep dying, his country’s economy obliterated, his military stopped by a tiny ass country, needs prisoners and North Korean soldiers to fight his battles. Revealed to the world Russia is a petrol state with nukes not a super power. This war would never have started if Ukraine kept their nukes.

You think scaling plant based food is harder than scaling a meat industry? I’m a meat eater but come on… It is not hard to get to place mentally that humans could easily live on plant based foods. People choose to eat meat because it’s what they believe to be is delicious and what their parents raised them on.

Maybe DOGE should cut all the subsidies the meat industry gets, upwards of $40 billion and we can see what the real price of meat should cost.

Just because they’ve taken over 30% of Ukraine doesn’t mean they succeeded. This OPERATION was only supposed to last 3 days, we’re past 3 years now. They had to assassinate the head of Wagner because he was on his way to Moscow… I could go on and on but if you believe in peace and this war should’ve never started. Why are you blaming Zelenskyy instead of the world super powers who ripped up the treaties they signed with Ukraine to guarantee their security in exchange for their nukes?

Hey it’s just like EVs or any other new technologies. The enthusiasts or believers will dive in first and deal with all the complicated setups. If it is actually better, these enthusiasts will form a company or already be a company who will create a product that will dominate the industry because they have a better product. Valve is definitely setup to be that company with the funds and competitive reasons to compete with Microsoft (windows/xbox store vs steam store). Steam store is their money maker but they face risks from Microsoft. Luckily Microsoft has to be careful due to antitrust issues because of their size, ie, Apple Store.

Be a cheerleader, encourage these people to take the dive. If you’re hating on people who want their stuff to just work you’ll never grow to get the casual pc / gamer user. Change is hard, most people are not looking to tinker.

Valve's reported profit-per-head from Steam commissions is out there, and at $3.5 million per employee it makes Apple and Facebook look like a lemonade stand

They were the first to market and built it to distribute some of the most popular PC games to ever exist. They are an entrenched market leader who haven’t tried to make steam into something more than what it should be. They do not have a monopoly, windows store, gog, itch, epic, Apple store, android store, battle.net, EA store, Xbox/store cloud, PlayStation store…

Lol. You need a history lesson. Ukraine has signed numerous ceasefires every time they sign one, Russia rebuilds their military, and attacks again.

How many times do you need me to tell you, Putin and Russia’s word means jack shit. So why are you and Trump the peace keeper such a believer in Putin, when he is on record of not honoring his agreements?

Edit: you want peace, sell Ukraine some nukes. Watch how fast Russia comes to the table

Costco shareholders overwhelmingly reject anti-DEI proposal

Is it not like anything else? It’s the implementation and execution of the program that makes the difference in whether it’s better or worse… DEI is an incredibly broad term. Many companies try to diversify their workforce because it’s always better for business to have different perspectives… no?

For example, work in a male dominant field, always trying to hire females, they are simply unicorns because they are almost non-existent in the field.
