Peak efficiency.

People can change, but don’t put your life on hold waiting for that to happen. I can’t say for sure what kind of person this is since I’ve never met the guy, but I can tell you that you will be waiting a long time if he is behaving how you described. Communication is incredibly important as a foundation for a relationship, and ghosting indicates they won’t be able to discuss things with you when things get really bad. This is a skill that is learned young and it is harder to learn it with age.

Let that flame die out and only let it be reignited if the person makes real effort to really talk to you.

Can we charge lawmakers with homicide for trying to kill poor people?

He has white skin and is rich.

Luigi should only be introduced to people whose decisions actually make a difference. Kotick is a cunt, but the decisions he makes aren’t the difference between life and death. He deserves a good smack to the head, but not death.

Which is why nobody cares about GOP opinions and why most of the world thinks you are retarded. Like it or not, you live with people different from you, and you need to learn to play nice and compromise. I’m not saying to give up your morals completely, but meet in the middle and come up with something that works for both of you.

Trademark generally only applies within the same medium. The point is to prevent confusion between two competing products. A movie and a video game do not overlap.

From the way the DNC and single issue voters have been acting these past 8 years it seems like everyone wanted this to happen. I can’t possibly explain how else they could have dropped the ball so hard.

USA ID?

The irony being you have to be a complete idiot to be on the side that thinks withholding, dismantling, or removing education is a good idea. Wanting to change the curriculum is one thing. Dismantling it just makes you look evil. There is no positive light you could possibly put this in.

The fact they changed the headline is itself praiseworthy, but the fact it was click bait and sensationalist to begin counters it.

The point about making the older stuff cheaper is something that isn’t mentioned as much as it should be in these debates.

Ultimately even if the older stuff is worse and requires more attention and monitoring (less convenient), it is still better than nothing.

There were still claims of fraud.

Which, let’s be clear, is not an inherently bad thing. Most sane people don’t want to reinvent the wheel. If you have a foundation that works and can easily be built off of in a reusable way the. You ultimately end up saving a lot of time and money.

Now, going back to your dig, it is true that Amazon has too many similar services, a lot of which could have just been an offering under an existing service. If you offer a certification just for memorizing what all of your services do then you may have gone too far.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say it is a surefire sign they are circling the drain, but I would agree the RTO mandates are vanity decisions. If not the vanity angle it screams that the leadership does not trust their employees or they don’t want to invest in the architecture required to make WFH feasible.

Realistically the mandates are due to tax breaks that the company gets for having a certain number of seats filled each day since these employees have a chance at fueling the local economy by eating out or getting gas.

Either way it is a bad look.

The Linux Argument.

Non-jokes aside, there are multiple names for this. Anecdotal evidence is the primary one while confirmation bias is discarding statements (factual or fictional) that do not align with your vision.

I’ve already been down voted and commented on. No need to start being a snarky asshole. If there is one thing that hasn’t changed since the 90s it is how obnoxious and pretentious Linux users are.

The biggest hurdle by far is that you need to compile the software you want to use from source more often that is acceptable for the average user. There is also a serious lack of proper hardware driver support.

Linux is way too fragmented and trying to get up and running with basic apps requires way too much technical skill.

I really do hope that SteamOS will finally solve these problems by having the backing of a foundation (company) that has years of UX experience (with multiple failures and successes under their belt) that targets a wide range of audiences. This should give hardware manufacturers confidence that developing drivers for that OS will not be a waste of time.

Alongside this comment was an equally damning comment: “if your past games are competing with your new games then your new games aren’t worth buying in the first place.”

Except it won’t be. The number of people who actually follow their bad practices and care is a rounding error. It was the same with EA and Activision. They treated their customers like scum and people are still on their knees asking for more. It will be no different for Nintendo.

This guy has tanked all of his previous enterprises due to his poor decision making and lack of knowledge. What in their right minds made them think this would be any different?
