Back in the early 2000s (when Apple Minis were introduced) there was a rare system error that you could get that ended in a wall of script/code. What has stuck with me to this day was the screen ended on the line "panic: we are hanging here".
I'm not downplaying anything, but comparing a dumpster to a dumpster fire and saying they are the same thing is, at best, a little misleading.
The release of Witcher 3 was bad, but it was industry standard bad. Cyberpunk shipped straight up broken and incomplete. It has been fundamentally reworked at least twice since launch.
I don't think anyone is apologizing for The Witcher 3 at launch, but let's not pretend they are the same thing. There are more shades than black and white.
Haha ok so you're just one of those people whose understanding of the universe isn't capable of expanding beyond "this good, that bad".
I haven't defended anyone and never intended to. I'm just saying get your comparisons straight. "Hey this game has a bunch of annoying bugs" =/= "Yo this shit is effectively non-functional and empty".
Deputies responding to a disturbance call at a Florida apartment complex burst into the wrong unit and fatally shot a Black U.S. Air Force airman who was home alone when they saw he was armed with a gun, an attorney for the man’s family said Wednesday....
It is seeming more and more every day that the only way this situation is going to change is if more people start shooting police that are trespassing on their property. It's become readily apparent that non-violent systems intended to prevent this kind of behavior do not work.
Meanwhile in America, we had to take my daughter to the hospital to have a penny unstuck from the roof of her mouth. The only reason I couldn't get it out is because she was being hysterical and nearly hurt herself in the process. Removing it took 2 mins, a suction tube, and a q-tip. It cost us $300 out of pocket.
You're still the problem even if you pretend to be above it. Trying to prop up your argument with the morality of not choosing the lesser evil does nothing but make you feel better about yourself in "refusing to compromise your principals".
This is reality and the reality is we live in a two party system. By not voting for one you are actively supporting the other.
So rather than three paragraphs of idealistic bullshit you should just truncate it down to:
Cool. So what you're saying is you are perfectly ok with Trump being president, just so long as you don't have to vote for Biden. That is the reality we are staring down the barrel of. You might not like having to vote for him, but if there are not enough votes under the Biden column then we will have a second term of Donald Trump. Keep what-ifing and patting yourself on the back.
You. Do. Not. Get. To. Choose. Who. Runs. For. President.
Rather than accepting that reality, you're choosing to sit and watch as a Trump presidency happens and say "Whelp. My hands are tied" rather than do your part in voting in the far superior option.
The OP you're replying to was clearly highlighting that Warren isn't a candidate for President, but because you caught that it was a lack of nomination rather than a lack of primary campaign that totally invalidates their point!
They need your participation to keep the machine churning.
You are 100% incorrect about this. The system will continue regardless of your participation. Sitting on the sidelines and pouting about the rules being bad does nothing but make you look like a child.
But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don't do this not because they can't but because they don't want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.
I live in DFW and just drove home from work and holy shit the forecast has done nothing to slow down the flood of pilgrims. There is an insane amount of traffic on the roads already.
That is pretty reductive. Like, it's a sim. You could describe just about any sim the same way. "You just do this thing to do that thing". How is this any different from any other game?
I'm not saying it's the best space game, but I had fun when I played it and it definitely didn't just feel like I was mining materials just to mine more materials.

This is not a universal truth. I am a union electrician and I make decent money but I am most certainly not set for life. It takes some significant overtime but it's not uncommon for guys to take home 6 figures.
Fuck I hate having to defend these assholes but if we're going to call them out on their bullshit it needs to be accurate. The quote is slightly taken out of context because he was inexplicably trying to dodge a question that wasn't presented to him.
He is IMO trying to say I want to go back to the period of time when women couldn't vote because back then people actually fought for those rights. That's a dumbass circular argument but I don't think he is actually saying he thinks women shouldn't vote.
Hang the things they actually mean to say around their neck, not stupid slips of the tongue.
All that said - fuck this guy and fuck Huffington post for their shitty articles.
Y'all are reading into that too much. We have a similar clause in Texas, which is virtually our only protection in regards to breaks. To simplify: they are saying that if the employee is eating AND working, then you have to pay them. I'm not sure how they are wording it in Kentucky but here it's along the lines of "you don't have to give the peasants a break, but if you do and it is unpaid then it is illegal to request that they work".
It sounds stupid because they are literally saying "if you don't pay them they can't be forced to work", but I'm really glad that protection is there or guarantee it would be abused even more than it likely already is.
The practical effect is everyone just gets an unpaid lunch because asking people to work 8 hours with no break is ridiculous.

What incentive does Google have to even put up a fight? Worse results = more time searching = more "traffic" = more ad revenue. It's not like they really have to worry about search engine competitors. Please do not try to recommend DDG to me. It is just a different flavor of garbage.
I'm sure I'm going to get some shit for this, but here we go! I own a wyzecam that I keep in (but due to lack of necessity will soon be removing from) my daughter's room. We had it there just to check and see if she was asleep in her crib still without walking up the very creaky stairs/hall to her room.
It has pretty garbage resolution, has no sensitive information in frame, is not in a part of the house that anything can be overheard, and literally just shows a blurry image of our daughter's bed.
I guess someone could theoretically sign in and...watch a 3 year old sleep? The worst case scenario I can imagine is someone using the speaker function to scare my kid, which would suck, but I think I can risk it.
I'm just going to leave a time-stamped link to the unedited video because there are a couple apologists in here that are absolutely ridiculous.
The officers identify themselves exactly once at 2:07, a car alarm starts going off at 2:18 and noticeably startles the officer wearing the cam, at 2:23 one of the officers says "someone's coming", and at 2:26 the syllable "Dro-" is interrupted by both officers completely unloading their magazines into the door/window.
It actually doesn't even look like the door was open and maybe the victim was trying to peek out the window?
So how exactly should she have handled this situation to have avoided someone trying to randomly murder her in her own home?
Now, how SHOULD have the cops handled the situation? Again, it's SO easy to say "well, they should have done this..or that..."
Here's the thing...I don't have to provide the answer to this question. I am not a "trained professional" that is paid specifically to handle these kind of situations.
What I can say without a doubt is there is zero excuse for this woman being shot. If officers are not able to go through their workday without shooting an innocent person then either they shouldn't be a cop or they shouldn't carry a weapon. Period.
A police officer's discomfort or cowardice does not supersede an innocent citizen's rights.
Thousands of deaths per year at the hand of police is inexcusable. "It's too hard" is a shit response to "why can't you do your job without routinely murdering people".
This is all completely ignoring the absurdity of allowing an individual who has been indicted for election interference to participate in an election in any capacity.
