I love how Kerry is recognizable, but Bush is like the most generic exaggerated portrait of a tough man who makes hard decisions, to the point of cariacature. He looks like a bobblehead of a famous football coach.

I thought it was Pence at first, because of the squinting I think.

that's basically why Mueller didn't indict Trump

I think the biggest reason is that Mueller didn’t have the power to indict people himself.

An MMORPG which ended up being a single player xbox game

Nope, an MMO that ended up being nothing. The game they released came pretty much complete with the purchase of BHG, and just had a coat of lore-paint slapped on it.

It wasn't a completely godawful game, just kinda unfinished on a visceral level and reminiscent of star citizen in that 80% of the promised product never actually happened. It was ultimately a released, playable RPG in the end but Schilling couldn't help but run the company itself into the ground before it got to any of the promised "good stuff".

no, they bought the single-player RPG along with the studio that made it (BHG?) and reskinned it with The Lore. the MMO stuff they built themselves, I believe codenamed Copernicus, never amounted to poo poo

i feel like this is like the Bill Nye versus Ken Ham debate in that it's a lot more enjoyable hearing people make vague references to it than to actually watch it.

I felt this way after reading the game day thread in real time, and decided to test my theory by watching the video a few days later. you’re fine. watching Peterson state inexplicably doe-eyed at Zizek is amusing, but not worth the psychic price of admission.

was Obama having trouble getting Democrat senators to confirm Gorsuch? “nominate a Republican and the Republicans will confirm them, ho ho” doesn’t seem like much of a bon mot either, so I’m confused

The "best" part of CEO culture is how even if you get fired for gross incompetence, running the company into the ground or some other legal issue you still get paid millions of dollars. Carly Fiorina almost completely ruined HP and she still got paid $21 million after being forced out. loving ridiculous.

this is really only true at the top levels of industry. the vast majority of CEOs are running much smaller shows, and only subject a few dozen/hundred people to their petty tyranny at a time.
