For-profit university wants to keep the money flowing in. Can’t have those pesky free thinking students speaking out if it means federal funds or private donations stop arriving.

And even if they get a fine, it will just be the cost of doing business and likely a tiny fraction of the additional revenue they pull in

A lot of this came out of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Make_Me_Think which a lot of dumb UX people took to the worst extreme to be like “dumb idiot user should only get one button ever”

I really hope so, but sadly I don’t think it will be. In the same way that people buy the same FIFA, the same COD, etc every year, it lives off its brand name and FOMO of those who only play multiplayer games.

GTA V still rakes in like $800 million or so from shark cards every year. They release a new vehicle, a new apartment, or whatever and everyone flocks to buy it.

I think GTA 6 will just fill that space

Ah my apologies, I did miss the part on the datasheet where people race these things apparently

Yup, I’ll buy it years down the road at a massive discount just to play the campaign; all their effort is going to go into multiplayer and milking those microtransactions anyway

Apparently it’s something about this medical rehab device made in Germany

Yeah the outcome of all of this is just

Yup, the terfs in line couldn’t imagine a woman exists who didn’t look like their version of a woman to them since she didn’t follow every trend of what “being a woman” should look like based on social media, most likely.

Baker was born a woman and identifies as a woman. But, she said she was escorted out of the restroom and then comments were directed at her from other women waiting in line.

"Someone said, 'Get him out of here,' referring to me. 'He's a creep,' also referring to me," Baker said.

Also to find the actual correct answer three comments down because the one that was voted highest worked, but was actually a really shit way to do the thing being asked

They didn’t give a shit until their company was in the public spotlight, that’s all that matters

You wouldn’t know him, he works at a different spy agency

Yeah the point is to continue to keep the dumb people fearing "the enemy" like ms-13 and trans people while the government is dismantled. As another commenter said, it's all performative.

Yeah it’s been like that for awhile. Tech bros have been moving in swathes out of California because they only care about paying less taxes and buying cheaper real estate.

And now Pakistan is shooting down Indian jets in response

The Indian Embassy in Washington said in a statement that national security advisor Ajit Doval spoke with U.S. National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Marco Rubio after the strikes. The embassy said “India has credible leads, technical inputs, testimony of survivors” that point towards “the clear involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists in the attack.”

Ah, no better people to encourage fascists they’re in the right than other fascists

ah, TIL, thanks

Well, parenthesis, and parenthesis, but yes
