we all get to live like kings on plush thrones with infinite jesters to entertain us what are you complaining about?

...boundless, unending human misery, the death of the human spirit, and the total collapse of empathy in society?

oh yeah I guess *kicks dirt*

he interviews Andrew Bacevich. I remember picking up that book from a used bookstore after hearing Dan Carlin talk about it and it really changed how I looked at American foreign policy at a time when I was still a dumb teenage liberal

id make the argument that at this point in time atleast 90% of the information disseminated online an average person consumes is just Bot generated garbage.


it even states in the article it had over 50,000 accounts following it. you wanna bet how many of them were even actual people? It's really really easy to generate dozens if not hundreds of accounts with just a few lines of Python. I hate it. I hate what this industry has become :smith:

a few years ago i was a good place for backpacking info. reconnaissance on routes, conditions from locals, etc. actual information about technical things.

those subreddits are mostly gear advice and instagram/tiktok posts now. worthless. very little information on novel subjects anymore. it was the only thing i used reddit for. now i don't use it at all

Filling vacancies became a challenge. Within the industry, ZeniMax had a reputation for paying lower than average salaries, and convincing some progressive or moderate video game developers to move to Texas could be difficult due to the state’s conservative social policies. Since Redfall wasn’t yet announced, the studio couldn’t describe its details to prospective employees — a predicament that exacerbated the staffing issues, sources familiar with the process said. Arkane wanted to hire recruits with experience on multiplayer shooters, but the people who applied were by and large looking to work on single-player immersive sims.

also the game has microtransactions planned up until a 2021

Nsfw reddits have the same problem to the point that many have sticky topics yelling at people to stop posting. It's a serious issue.

That's extra funny because a huge proportion of the administration in school districts, or C suite guys in business, are always running consultant businesses on the side. Often during 'work' hours

But of course, the anger is never at them, that's completely fine!
