The deeper implications of this are… frightening, to say the least.

We may not share the blame but we’ll for sure share in the consequences.

Ah man I hate being just old enough to remember the stories about what the alternative is like. I suppose youth have the excuse of ignorance, but still.

Imagine if the CEO who laid you off was also your psychologist/therapist who you have to turn to. What in the actual fuck is wrong with these people.

Even at the cost of millions losing healthcare?

I still believe the original plan was for him to be killed before he could be returned. Too many spotlights on the case prevented that from happening.

It never changes either. I’m past 40 and I’m still like “I’ll get my life together next year. Or the one after that, surely!”

I saw it explained in another article that went deeper into the psychology behind both the right and the left’s messaging. It came down to the point that the left’s overarching message is “you don’t have to partcipate” (in things like exacerbating climate disaster, the rat race, …) while the right’s is “participation is mandatory”, and apparently psychologically the pull is MUCH stronger than the push, so the right have the advantage in these circumstances. We need the left to come up with something unified. Hell, they had the chance in 2016 with Bernie but they’ve since clearly shown they would rather have a republican in charge than “a leftist”, so I have no idea how they’re planning to pull this off.

Chronicle of a death foretold. We knew everything, had every opportunity to act and mitigate, and failed even in the least of that.

We will reap what we sow. The billionaires already know and they know there’s no fixing it either, so that’s why they’re busy robbing the store with the customers still in it. They just want to hoard whatever resources they feel they will need for their “survival” in the World After.

Absolutely. But they they vote in far-right parties that actively make things much worse.

Demoracy only works if the majority of voters are both informed and of sufficient mental werewithal to think critically, and I’m fairly sure both points are doing terribly right now, on a global scale.

People fall out of windows all the time, even if they have billions. Clearly, not all of them are aligned.

Looking in the right places. I’ve had cats all my life and there’s no way they go to heaven.

I sometimes deliberately leave them to sit in the open for a day or so. Makes them less crunchy.

It also reduces the pool of available replacements because if the leadership keep getting killed, you end up with decidedly less volunteers for promotion.

And just like that, piracy seems to become a viable profession again.

I’ve had corvettes, wrxs, a trans am and a gro.

Thanks for the point, but it seems like we are playing in entirely different leagues here :p Should my situation ever change, what the hell, I’ll remember your comment.

For my midlife crisis I bought a beast of a pc. Harley Davidsons or sports cars are out of the budget.

Owning a home guarantees nothing in terms of retirement. Best case scenario you sell with a decent profit, then it’s still going to the hospital or old folks home instead of your heirs.

I did it once. Full on maniacal laughter included. Shit was not cash.

I begged people to call an ambulance but they expectedly treated me as if I was crazy. So ymmv.

Not gamedev but other software, going through the exact same thing (new, external CEO). Guess the axeman cometh for us all eventually.
