Obviously you just mandate your game and console be always online and at that point you may as well just live stream the game to their house, don't need to download if you never actually own it right?? Make them pay per the minute of game time and only unlock the next level after they've played long enough! Hell! Why even sell a game?? Just have people pay you for the right to advertise that they paid for it and charge them a daily subscription to keep the rights! Nobody owns anything but you! Art and entertainment is merely a vessel to siphon money from the masses! Purchase their souls for a hit of dopamine! Rent them their own eyes!

We are winning the war with Eastasia

We have never been at war with Eastasia

Stuff like this is also why a lot of companies have also moved away from pensions, one it's expensive, two mismanagement, but it turns out that offering to pay someone for free until the end of their life doesn't make shareholders happy, so fuck the employees right?

Weren't they superceded by LCDs not LEDs? The whole big thing with Nixies was that you could display digits but if one filament burned out (which it relatively quickly did) the whole bulb was bad and even then you had to pump power into them and use these complicated plugs.

Enter LCDs, they take ages to burn in, you can run them off a coin battery for literal years, and they're a dozen times cheaper to make.

Honestly yeah. My hopes are at this point our electoral process does exactly what it just did. It's clear a lot of people went out and voted for him. Not a small group but a ton. And my resignment has just been "Okay, this is what you asked for, buckle up".

It's gonna suck ass and I really hope they don't start some bullshit that makes them squeak out of the mess they're about to step in. (They'll definitely try to) But let's give the American people exactly what they asked for and just try to stop the house from catching on fire while they realize what a bad idea it was.

Additional edit: idfk man. Scream it from the rooftops if you want to. Clearly something needs to be done about this shit, but I can tell straight off from this article that it's just a tee-up for them to go "look how dramatic the snowflakes are" or whatever bullshit they're spewing this week. Fuck these guys, and all the bullshit they want to pull, but playing into their hand like that is hard to avoid.

Catholic Church: "Um actually she's not a minor, she's a 3,000 year old diety that just looks like a-"

It's not like "oh dear God" levels of bitter but it's enough to just be like "pteh ew" and spit it out.

We can't accept that as inevitable. I don't like it either but there has to be some way that we can avoid this "there's gonna be civil war" discourse, because all it does is wind people up

I don't care if people are have to be led there with a lollipop and a soda if it gets people voting. Civic duty is important, but people need encouragement.

They don't care to do anything about those
