That doesn’t really contradict their premise about making modern RTS. StarCraft and Age of Empires 2 are ancient at this point. An entire generation of kids has grown up since they came out.

I don’t think the fact that you could make a successful mainstream RTS way back then really says much about whether you could make one in 2024.

But how does that help capitalists make more money by eliminating their competition?

It’s never too late to go back to school.

Could you walk me through what you see as these folks’ hypocrisy? I don’t get it.

Is somebody arguing that loan forgiveness should be a one time thing and no one after them should get it?

Nah I wasn’t being sarcastic.

As I understand it, in engineering these types of mobile space constrained devices you essentially have a “budget” of space. Every hardware feature you include generally eats into this budget and if you want things to be user accessible or repairable it eats into this budget majorly.

That budget has to come from somewhere, so you can pay it with things like reducing the size of your battery or reducing the size of your drivers which in turn represents a reduction in sound quality.

This article seems to omit the most important fact about headphones - how do they sound?

I love repairability and all, but it hardly matters if I don’t want to use them in the first place because they traded off too much quality for repairability.

Seems like one of those things everyone would say in the abstract, particularly on a survey. Then when the studios go for safe projects and the thing they remake is among someone’s personal favorites they’ll watch it anyway, validating the strategy.

Lmao of course Putin’s allies know trumps plans.

To be fair, you could stop a random person on the streets of America of either major political party and ask them if Trump wins will he give any money to Ukraine and you won’t get a single different answer.

You don’t exactly need an inside line to get this kind of hot tip.

I guess my original point was just agreeing with you on your main point. I figured I was supporting your position by pointing out the media dishonesty extended farther than just Israeli publications. The Ukraine point was a throwaway of another example I thought was fairly straightforward, but whatever, it’s cool, we don’t need to continue this conversation.

Hmm suit yourself.

It’s a funny example of Gell-Mann amnesia at play I suppose.

Just waiting for that Russian military with low morale and hollowed out by corruption to bring us that imminent victory in Ukraine we’ve been promised any day now for the past two years. Keep believing in victory citizen, it’s right around the corner!

Now, I literally do not trust anything that is published in Israel;

It’s pretty stark how much the press in pretty much every Western country has been carrying water for Israel and Ukraine as well.

I’m blanking on this. What’s the song?

A man coming back from parental leave doesn’t sound like a protected class to me, unlike being a pregnant woman who is protected by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act in the United States.

Also, I’m not saying it’s a surefire guarantee. The important part is you don’t have to be the fastest runner when the wolf is hungry, you just have to run faster than the guy next to you.

Saying something implicating a protected class like “I’m pregnant” might provoke some panicked calls to HR and actually get you off that list.

Exactly. Humans are funny, irrational beings. We feel these things like sympathy super strongly when we see another person suffering.

Without the direct sight though, we don’t feel it.

So maybe the CEO would if he was there, but chances are he isn’t so he doesn’t.

It’s a big part about why it’s not what you know but who you know that’s so important in life.

Big we’re accusing you not because we have evidence but because it’s what we would do vibes.

Because those guys are on our team and those guys are on the other team.

If you’re in the USA it seems clearly better to have Russian since they can do much less to affect your life and vice versa.

That’s what I thought about the elephant tusk looking AirPods yet here we are.

The Reality Distortion Field sometimes makes things hard to predict when it comes to Apple products.

In addition, prosecutors announced criminal charges related to the sale of the crude oil to buyers in China, Russia and Syria.

It’s incredible how the United States can enforce its criminal laws against Iranians selling their property in China, Russia, and Syria.
