“Brand New Plasma TV. Fits right into the wall.”

Or…if she’s going to be a writer…she could learn to write.

Oof!

Isn’t the Chromium project still open source? I guess forking things and building from there doesn’t happen anymore?

I don’t even know how to use Android without Nova…

Why does nothing good ever last?

That’s very fair.

We literally refer to it as “getting Luigi’d”.

This was always the plan.

They only did the this to get their name in the news and get some people talking about them again to increase revenue.

The CEO is taking a position on the board.

This is the most important part of this whole “we did it, Reddit” moment.

This is entirely a PR move and not actually going to do anything.

Well, that would just be impractical, right??? I mean what purpose could there be in a register of people with the actual weapons, constitutionally-protected or not, that are most often used to murder dozens of people in a single sitting?

Next you’ll be wanting to use that registry to make sure that certifiable crazy people can’t get a modified semi-automatic rifle and possibly attempt to keep people safe. What use could that bring?!?

Sweet! When school lunch debt wasn’t enough for the kiddies, we’ll get them starting out life in debt one way or another.

But, I thought his boss was- Oohhhh!!!

I’m gonna drive my car…because that’s necessary, but I haven’t eaten meat (red, white, blue, whatever) for 20 years, so between that, not adding to the surface population, and not voting for complete jackasses, I think I’ve at least offset the driving.

I have a friend who was part of their 1900 layoff shortly after acquiring Blizzard in 2024. Basically, brought into a meeting and then no more job.

She learned last week that every single person who remained in her former group except one had been laid off in this last round. We’re talking about people who had been with Blizzard for years and years and had been happy with their jobs and loved even playing the games that they were making. Just poof! Gone.

The layoffs have been asinine enough, but the completely tone-deaf response from one of their leaders saying “use AI to help with the trauma of job loss” has just been the icing on the cake.

If this inquiry has no power to actually do anything about this finding, I’m not sure I understand the point.

Anyone who ever read a history book already knows about the multiple genocides. The issue is what happens now?

As someone who recently built a new home (not with DR Horton because they are complete trash), the solution to this issue rests in the inspection process.

Especially with a builder well-known for shoddy workmanship, you have to have every single phase of the house inspected and you need to be onsite regularly to point out things to the builder. Also, while builders are giving such incredible incentives on spec homes with like 4.5% rates, sometimes, it isn’t worthwhile in the end because you miss out on the option of having the house inspected at every point.

DR Horton has a neighborhood a few streets from mine and I could have had a bigger home for possibly cheaper, but I refused to use them. I had an inspection at just pre-drywall and pre-close, but a DR Horton home requires inspections at the initial dig, pre-foundation pouring, post-pouring, framing, electrical and plumbing, pre-insulation, post-drywall, flooring installation, pre-close, and then an 11-month inspection, too. And, if the builder says things like “the inspector can’t go onto the roof” or “we don’t have to fix anything that the inspector finds” walk. Regardless of the incentives, the headache is not worth the offer.

If only interest rates could drop to the same levels…

Wow, look at the time! It’s 1984 already!
