Shittification and shareholder return

Why is everything crap. Well, here we learn why Adam Smith was an early Marxist, in that though he had great faith in markets
He had zero faith in merchants
And the reason why, is why no one answers your helpline

One should never think age stops you from doing anything. Oates was born before WWII and yet is the most savage poaster in the history of man.

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information"
They want people to assume this means game info or assets.
But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to:
'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

"Rockstar, Rockstar, you're disgusting, we charge you with union busting," the protesters declared.
'All you had to do was follow the damn law, Rockstar!': Workers are protesting outside Take-Two after GTA 6 dev's alleged 'brazen' union-busting

I was thinking earlier that you could do a tremendous Predator movie where the protagonists are a Viet Cong patrol and the Predator to some degree represents their experience of US military’s combination of arrogance, superior firepower and technology, and ability to inflict terror.
Predator and Aliens work well as Vietnam movies because they often capture the hubris and chaos of small-unit engagements in the war. But I think analysis that pegs it to Vietnam sometimes misses the fact that the xeno (broadly speaking) is portrayed as a superior organism

Federation colonial policy is based on thinly veiled manifest destiny and carried out through in the best case benign neglect from the Federation government.
what star trek political opinion would you have if you lived in universe? would you still be weird about the xindi? would you be one of the people who protests the Klingon embassy in Paris? Me, i'd be a borg truther

I mean, Yasser Arafat was also a Nobel Laureate. So was Aung san Suu Kyi, who went on to run cover for Myanmar's violence against the Rohingya. Hell, in '73 they gave the prize to Henry Kissinger.
So, you know, it's a little hit-or-miss.

Anyone who has studied medieval history knows that the first thing you do when finally King is shank your brothers. This is monarchy 101 folks.
One thing about the whole Andrew Windsor shitshow that hasn't been broached in the UK at all is that his protection only lasted as long as his mother was alive. Would be interesting to see the implications of that sinking in to the British nation as a whole.

The reason why a lot of us Europeans living in monarchies are okay with that is that the alternative often turns out to be “monarchy but significantly more cursed”
Hypothetical: If you were a super-successful opportunist that had a shot at landing the man who was just about to become President when the old dying stroke victim finally succumbs, would you take a shot at the crown?
