  • It's for sure gonna get uglier. I'm told Bibi has implemented a bunch of anti-democratic shit to rig things his way but I don't know enough about Israeli internal politics to say for certain if that's the case. Him and Trump seemed to think alike in that regard. (To the extent Orange Julius thinks anyway.)

  • Israel is not the Likud Party or Netanyahu just like Hamas is not the Palestinian people.

  • I bet if we mapped out the relationships between various CEOs and boards of directors we could predict these selections rather well...

  • You really think enough people are going to love doing septic tank maintenance and picking berries and all the other hot, painful, messy shit that people have to do to keep ourselves alive to support that? Because I don't.

    Maybe when we've got amazing robots that can do all that I guess, but then we've just moved on to robot maintenance and coding. Granted more people will be ok with those tasks, but they call it work because it's WORK.

    Calling dibs on this for my new prog band. Nobody else gets to take it. On second thought maybe it's a better album title.

  • It is for me. We have assigned seating, huge comfy seats, and it's just ... a whole thing. Movies at home don't compare for me.

  • Well your factory fed Trumps are pretty pale; they get all their coloration from artificial bronzing agents. But a grass fed Trump gets his color from eating a diet rich in beta carotene.

  • "If you've got no good moves, scramble the board" is old advice.

  • Can't wait to get the HexGrad take on why is definitely a very free, very cool thing to do.

  • Also, can we fucking please have some rules about separation between boards of directors and CEOs? It's a bloody incestuous mess right now that practically begs for price collusion and other fuckery.

  • I'm sure the Chinese will be around to Repo an aircraft carrier or two. Or maybe sovereign nation budgets aren't like households? Could be!

  • Pretty sure that's these people, right?

    Edit: Actually this guy signed onto Unity in 2014 Unity was still privately held. It went public in September of 2020. Unity's founder, David Helgason is still on their board and served as some sort of Senior Executive whatever position at Unity. Dude still has a 4% share of their stock.

    So anyway, probably this David Helgason character who hired him. And/or whoever else (including Riccitiello!?) who was on the board at the time.

    The relationship between CEOs and boards of directors is so fucked up and incestuous...

    In any case and in retrospect, Johnny boy was 100% hired to cue them for up for the eventual IPO and boy did he ever. It's amazing how fast companies go down hill when they become publicly traded.

  • Not Trash Pandas. Waste Management Pandas.

  • Reviews are only useful insofar as you vibe with the reviewer. If you've got really specific taste, mass appeal isn't a helpful data point.

  • I'm sorry, did the Ukrainians just start bombing the shit out of Moscow unprompted?

  • Not how Android works, but ok. Android is just an OS. Each specific combo of OS and phone is unique. You can modify Android to the point where it's a completely different user experience between two implementations nominally using Android.

    Maybe you just like iOS, that's fine, but it's good to understand why you like it. Personally I've been saddled with an iPhone for work and I hate the GUI, but I can appreciate the materials and some design choices.
