From the perspective of a game developer, I dislike the big 3 because they take money from consumers of their products to play games with online multiplayer features while ALSO not providing any support to the developers of those online games with regard to server costs, LET ALONE the crazy amount of work it is to add online multiplayer support to a game. I don't think a lot of consumers realize this because there are so many people flaming developers for not adding online multiplayer support to their games without considering A: How much work that is or B: How expensive server costs are. If consumers became aware of the fact that NONE of their subscriptions for online access actually went to supporting server infrastructure for online games, they would probably all move to PC/Steam.

The Wonderful company is truly terrible and deserves WAY more digital graffiti. Their billionaire owners are quite literally siphoning all the public water out of Los Angeles to grow their overpriced pistachios and pomegranates. Their money is as dirty as can be as well.

I personally think your response to the issue being raised is exactly why America is a total dump that will never be able to have nice things. You're literally shutting down someone's criticism of the functionality of the public spaces in their everyday life because you don't think it's a big deal. But it's the laziness of things like this that actually make America a shitty place to live. It's an epidemic of poor decisions with regard to how much placement of things inconvenience others. This was clearly a poorly planned implemention of selling a ton of plants out front of the store. Someone raised the issue. But you. You decided to shut them down for it because they should get over it. There are bigger issues. Yeah fair enough I guess but also you're enabling shitty design and things will only get worse when there's folks like you that accept garbage and tell anyone who complains about it that they're crazy for saying anything about how it's garbage. /rant

Does anyone know how to read this map?

Superman too busy with that fire hydrant to save Metropolis 👨🏻‍🚒

What a cutie!

Had to look up exactly what a pulsar is and the concept of them being like interstellar lighthouses is absolutely fascinating.

Roca News @ridethenews is my go to but I've tuned most things out at this point to try and stay sane.

Not part of the problem but thanks anyway!

I find it kind of amazing that humans will constantly look outwardly as if everything that is happening isn't a direct result of their own failures as nature's caretakers. Yes, let's kill the cats because of all the havoc they're wreaking on our biodiversity but let's also ignore all the havoc that we ourselves continue to wreak. Let's applaud ourselves for caring so much about the environment by slaughtering one of man's two best friends. Irresponsible cat owners aside, there are ways that (key phrase here) cost money that involve a well-known acronym, TNR to combat feral cat populations. They can be re-homed or put aboard ships to tackle rodent problems at sea and become resident sailor cats. There are better ways than blindly dropping poison fucking sausage and installing automatic poison spray machines around town. As if that won't result in any accidental deaths of spayed neighborhood outdoor cats with chips, collars, and loving families. This thread has absolutely lost the plot if everyone agrees with the methods put forth in the article. I can assure you, this is some grade A bs.

This comment is so meta. You're literally engaging in the conversation about it right now. This means it worked... How does no one understand this? The fact of the matter is it makes the issue relevant so that it shows up on people's screens and they're forced to confront the issue and debate the protest and it becomes topical. No one wants to be stuck in traffic. I sympathize with those who were affected. But I'll give you one guess who I sympathize with more right now.

Like humans aren't?
