I think that’s how it should be. We all say stupid things sometimes (or smart but unpopular things). Plus, if someone had a bad few months, it shouldn’t haunt them forever.

Keep Lemmy karma-free!

I don’t care why, I just hope they never implement one.

Switch to a part time job.

Anything pro-suicide

My first reaction to Concord’s record-breaking failure was sympathy for all the staff who had worked on and polished the game for years. All that dedication, passion, and effort, wasted.

Then, I found out the game had been live service, and my reaction could be simplified to one word: GOOD.

Yeah, the truth about Trump is pretty ugly when you don’t bury it beneath talking points, or obscure it with incoherent rants. “Biodegradable cattle byproduct” sounds okay, but it’s still bullshit.

It always makes me laugh when a company drags its feet for an unreasonable amount of time (over two years, in this case), and then tries to play the pity card.

Good on the union for picking a strategic date to maximize pressure!

How have I never heard of this before?!?

I knew he was an asshole, sure, but I didn’t realize he’d gone completely off the rails.

For a second, I was grateful for the interesting, useful information in the first sentence. Your second sentence is unnecessarily condescending and obnoxious, though.

I don’t care if your title is “sheriff”, or if you call yourself “constitutional”. By seizing voting machines, you’re a petty tyrant who’s not enforcing any law but your own.

This is wild. So… the Xiaomi CEO said “People know us for phones, but what if we made cars, too?” AND PULLED IT OFF.

Designing, engineering, and manufacturing a car isn’t something you just do for the hell of it. If you’re working on an industrial scale, and intend to do so profitably, it’s a very big deal. Where did they get the talent? How about the factory (or factories)? I don’t think I can overstate how difficult and complex this is.

It’s just mentioned casually, but Xiaomi deciding to go from cellphones to cars is, to me, a much more interesting story.
