Prior to this thread I had never even heard of the ghosts project. Definitely could be cool, but I’d guess that’s almost a completely separate market than the RTS fans

Tech companies went to texas for tax breaks, not because of local talent. People move for jobs. They also provided relocation stipends when they opened those offices. They literally did exactly what you say is impossible. They brought the people so they could have a workforce.

Low COL states are primarily destinations, but blue ones are more so than red ones. People leaving blue states tend to either be red voters or blue voters moving to other blue states.

Urban counties almost always vote blue, as they tend to have more diverse populations. They’ll continue to do so as new voters join, as young people tend to overwhelmingly vote blue.

Blue voters aren’t moving to the Alabamas, Oklahomas, Iowas etc. they’re moving into what would be considered purple states at best. (And yes, texas is closer to a purple state than a red one now).

Now we’re pre-hyping the hype trailers

I swear this game is going to flop because of the massive expectations people are going to have. I may be wrong and also never got the appeal of those games, so take my opinion with a grain of salt

Why would I ever give Amazon my medical data? Let alone pay them for the privilege of it being sold.

I don’t even like giving medical providers my medical data, and they’re bound by a lot more laws than Amazon.

Small businesses it’s almost always compassion. They’re hiring from a small pool, and that pool often only includes people close to them.

Fortune 500 companies, then it’s nepotism

Is there any point to StarCraft if it’s not an RTS?

Filled with micro transactions too. I’d be surprised if it isn’t P2W

Look at the demographics. Red States have a lot of Red Voters moving in, but not a lot of blue voters. Blue states have a lot of Blue and Red voters coming in. This doesn’t only deal with abortion, but it’s a major concern.

Anecdotally, anyone Gen Z who isn’t a raging magat I know refuses to move to states such as texas due to the regressive abortion laws. Watch the next few years as big tech finds ways to move out of those states as they can’t attract talent.

Ex. Austin is a great city for tech. I could likely make the same salary I do in Seattle, at a lower CoL. However, due to the political climate of texas, I wouldn’t even entertain the idea of living there.

It’s not just this case. This is a much wider pattern from the republicans to waste taxpayer money investigating things that they have no need to be involved in.

The same idea applies to the hunter Biden probe. It’s politically motivated investigations that don’t need to be done, but are done because the republicans can use taxpayer money to hash out their problems.

Nobody is saying this specific audit cost millions of dollars, but it certainly cost a whole lot more than just the salary of a single person for a few hours.

Not really though. It’s a caps lock + 5 letters. It’s still faster and less cumbersome than a multiple word phrase

The republicans don’t care what the outcome of the investigation is. They just want to use it as a political gotcha.

Government investigations over frivolous things are a waste of taxpayer money and time.

Wouldn’t it be good to automate those jobs? They reportedly treat those workers terribly, so if they’re automated they’re not abusing people anymore.

Distribution centers make sense to be entirely automated tbh. No need to have humans doing menial work moving packages around when a robot can do the same thing. These are the jobs we all wanted automated so people didn’t have to do them.

Now it’s be terrible for all the workers who rely on those jobs, but as the average tenure is nearly under a year, I’d guess that in 5 years there’d be no issue

American politics relies on fat attatched to other legislation. It’s the reason nothing ever gets passed anymore. There’s a million riders and if someone is unhappy with the unrelated, but still on the bill/prop, measure, they’ll still vote no.

It may not be the sole reason to move somewhere, but it’s often an explicit reason NOT to move somewhere

You do if you’re editing it, and the editing capabilities are one of the main selling points of macOS

You’re entirely leaving out the ~2-4GB of system overhead, 1-2gb just to have PS open and then having headroom left on top.

Oh and by the way, Lightroom eats ~45gb of RAM when importing. Also file sizes are much bigger for any decent camera now. I shoot 45MP and files are huge now

Yeah, not sure if they’ve used PS in the last few years, but lean is not a word I’d use to describe it

Downloadmoreram.com is going to get a lot more traffic

This is rich coming from epic, who bribes developers to not use a competitor.

I’m gonna be real, I prefer fansville style ads over traditional TV commercials.
