Shareholders always want more money, i.e. as much money as is extractable from the consumer. So yes, I think companies would still invest as little as possible to make a game profitable, even if that leads to bugs.
Since we are discussing this on social media, another news outlet could make a “story” about the discussion or should I say your popcorn enriched outrage.
I would also be available for a game about the movie about the game about the book about that story.
To me the most interesting aspect of the article is kind of fuzzy, namely why she left.
There’s a hint, but it remains unclear what her concerns about the finances were.
Swan has a different story. She says she raised concerns about the organization’s handling of finances, which the executives were unable, or unwilling, to address. In a 7 April 2022 email to former chairman Wiseley, Swan resigned.
“It is with deep regret that I feel the need to step down as deputy treasurer,” wrote Swan.
Later the article mentions her being slandered for defending a local library that displayed children’s books with LGBTQ+ themes. So maybe that topic contributed to her leaving the group, but all of this seems to have taken place after she already had left the group.
Since women in modern politics are relatively new and this is a historic first, I think this is newsworthy.
However, I agree with you that gender shouldn’t be the deciding qualification for the job. Yet I don’t know nearly enough about Mexican politics to comment on that topic and to be frank, I haven’t read the linked article.
As a cringetologist I have to inform you, that you actually turned yourself into a black hole and emerged from a white hole in this mirror universe.
Congratulations, you are now extroverted and trust me, you will need all the friends you can find up in here.
Let’s take a step back from that provocation and look at the bigger picture.
This is intended to create division and make money (like Frank Reynolds would).
Neighbours shooting neighbours or rural folks shooting city people (or the other way around), that won’t lead to any takeover or to any surrendering of power on a larger scale.
That’s just terrorism and could (at most) cause chaos and terror.
If there actually was domestic violence on a larger scale, it would come down to: who controls the military or which part of the military is on which side.
I would avoid meaningless skirmishes e.g. in a suburb of Seattle.
I’m not saying succumb to bullies, but whatever you do, be smart about it.
Only people with AC (or deep basements?) would be save… as long as they have electricity.
Makes me wonder what would happen in a mega city like Delhi, when the weather get’s lethal. Will people storm places with AC or will they be apathetic (like starving people).
I hope we won’t find out! But at least heat shelters will probably become normal.
Look, he’s no fascist. He’s just a strong leader who’s always right, doesn’t accept ‘no’ for an answer, makes his own rules, demands absolute loyalty and calls himself not only a patriot, but a nationalist who happens to be white…
Sure he jokes about being a dictator, but only because he’s able to see the good in so many of them. Also it would only be on first day in office, since he loves democracy, stable democracy, like in the People’s Republic of China or Russia, where a strong leader can be elected more than just twice.
Boy o boy, people not understanding this will give future historians quite a head scratcher.
Here ‘harm’ is meant in a diplomatic way. They put restrictions on the Spanish consulate. It is strong language, but nobody is talking about physical harm (just as Spain hasn’t harmed Israel physically).
From the article:
According to these measures, Israel prohibits the Spanish consulate in Jerusalem from “conducting consular activities or providing consular services to residents of the Palestinian Authority”, although it clarified that the measure does not apply to people with Spanish nationality.
I don’t get that. I would rather be a Billionaire in a “moderated” democracy, than in a system where you can just disappear or fall out of a window, if a single more powerful person wishes so.
Of course I am sure, Mr. Bonehead. I was there, after all and I remember it quite fondly.
You on the other hand, would do good in questioning your sources and who might have had an interest in tempering with them. I’ve heard rumours about changelings infiltrating earth’s communication.
My speculation would be: GamerNexxus plays the YouTube game and uses clickbaity titles (sometimes? I don’t know many of their videos). And it seems the host likes to hear himself talk (which would make sense, given that talking is his job).
However, some people don’t like it and therefore downvote comments that welcome the channel.
