I recently was holding out hope for a franchise that was similarly treated. I can tell you from experience that Sims 5 will make a billion dollars and they will then fire all the programmers who made it.

Not a cent of it was my money.

Make your own instance and ban that mod from it.

Do you exit it with escape colon q bang?

Everything by Jefferson Airplane sounds like they were trying to make music as repulsive as humanly possible.

Kid in boat looks like he’s bailing kinda but he actually rescued the capsized occupants. Whale was feeding and they were too close (law stipulates 100 yards) so it doesn’t seem like an intentional Orca-style attack. It was stupid and unfortunate for everyone involved, but no fatalities.

I think I only vaguely knew that a comic was the source. I’m honestly glad I didn’t know, because this is a damn fine movie, I’d have hated for it to be ruined because I loved the source - but I sympathize.

I had no idea a sequel was in the works.

I mean, this all sounds like shit, yes. But sometimes things are only a little bit shit and yet the answer is still “redesign the approach” (ie: start over).

What the hell is this talking about? A “bet over the phone about the outcome of the show?” McCartney “called during the live broadcast” and this was “the last time the two ex-Beatles communicated?” Says who?

The real story of April 24, 1976 exists, but the above words bear no resemblance to what actually happened. The story is here, complete with the SNL video here.

Oh god, I know all of these.

Also fuck Tim Kosse. Bundled Filezilla with malware and fucked up my machine in 2014. Had to reinstall Windows. I’ll never use it again.

I use WinSCP on Windows and Forklift on MacOS.

I’m not certain “narcissist” is the right word.

Nobody:

Russia: Imma turn every government in the world fascist!

What could go wrong?

I went there too. I think you’re underselling the transporter. They acted like you were about to get on like a motion sim or something, lined everybody up on those rows in front of the doors, then everything went black, sparkles coming from everywhere, a giant rush of wind upward is what it felt like - very confusing - and then BAM, the lights came on and you were on the bridge of the Enterprise-D.

Hell of an effect and something I’ll never forget.

And Quark’s bar man. It was so cool.

Don’t care what anybody says about how much they loved XP that shit was always ugly.

NICE TRY DAVE

Who cares? Franchisees are not restauranteurs. They are businesspeople who want to skim six figures off the top of a restaurant simply because they own it. They do this by exploiting workers and making shittier food at incresasingly smaller portions. They will fire people and shittify their product until they eventually go out of business - and because they are participating in the capitalist ideal, they would do this eventually even without California’s help - or hasn’t anyone noticed that fast food does nothing but get more and more shit.

This will ultimately drive the market back to owners who are restauranteurs - who care about their place of business, their product and their workers. These people too may make six figures in the running of the restaurant, but they are actively involved in running it and they add enough value to it to justify taking that money from it. The franchise model of American food service has been nothing but a disaster for this country - for workers and for the health of the general public - and I for one am glad to see it crippled in any capacity.

Edit: to say nothing of the CEOs of these companies and their obscene pay that the franchisees empower.

Oh she’s governable all right. She doesn’t take those talking points from the Kremlin for nothing.

“The answer was The Downward Spiral… Nine Inch Nails’ second album”

I like how Broken, despite having 7 tracks to PHM’s 8 tracks, is referred to as an “EP” and not their second album. Not to mention Fixed exists. TDS is their third album, fite me.

Edit: since I’m on the subject, here are some little kids performing Wish.

Scotch and soda.

Hey I’ve spent… checks Steam… 120 hours on Grim Dawn, I’ll complain about it as much as I want!
