If this game releases with good quality my friends and I are day 2 customers for sure. Seems fun as hell from the videos.

People keep telling me that dating today is a war zone, facing all kinds of challenges.

Dating apps don't seem to be directly trying to help solve the problem as much as generate revenue. In fact, they are very directly motivated to not make great long term matches.

Some people seem think that just getting out there and hoping for the best is the answer. Maybe that's true, but it's still very random. I was wondering about a hypothetical alternative:

What if you could go to an agency of some kind get rated through a thorough evaluation process? Would that be helpful ? It's not perfect, and many things are hard to measure. But maybe it's a less random starting point and can escape the exclusively money driven approach of dating apps.

We demand infinite growth. Why? Because shareholders want to buy shares and sell them later for more.

Do anything it takes to make that transaction happen, cut people's jobs en masse, whatever.

Forever.

This is the newest form of slavery. Subtle.

There should be consequences for companies (and specifically the leadership) that cause danger to innocent lives in their pursuit of profit over all else.

Can't remember the last time I was on Twitter. Turns out I don't need it. Turns out I'm just a little happier without it.

It's insane to me that healthcare looks like this in the US, I mean I live in an objectively weaker economy and my healthcare is vastly better in terms of cost, availability and has no hard ties to employment.

That is crazy messed up. My gut feel is that it's again down to the corporate shareholder problem, where infinite growth is demanded. It's defies belief that this hasn't been fixed, and really makes me think that overall we may be losing the war of greed vs humanity.

I had the impression that people running for office in Mexico were being assassinated a lot, if she is real force for good then I hope she's safe

Man, the internet archive is one of the good sites that's not a puke gobbling corporate, can we direct attacks to someone worthy of the heat instead?

This guy is an incredibly dangerous parasite with apex predator instincts. Fucking up games is one thing, but stepping closer to the social fabric is a next level concern.

Jesus Christ, can we leave things alone that aren't infinitely growing

Merry Christmas to all those families!

Yes, we had record profits but our CEO has the job of raising the share price so that investors can buy and sell higher, so we have to find more profits somewhere.

You understand.

Just as they announced their profitable quarter.

This isn't to "Save costs". It's to further boost profits at any measure, which is what publically traded companies want. Happy investors.
