CDPR's business decisions around the game exploited their employees and socially conscious consumers. I don't like white/green/pinkwashing and don't like when people give money to companies that do it

Tron fan here. The movies are about how software should be free

Good thing I didn't make that argument you're criticising

It's when one thing is likened to another thing, so as to transfer attitudes or understanding from the second thing to the first thing.

These days a security guard dressed as a cop wakes you up in the middle of the ride to scan your transit card.

I think in the socialist utopia where everyone does only what they want to do, there would be shopkeepers. I've volunteered at a food bank, and I quite enjoyed it. I don't think anyone would spend their life a shopkeeper. I think people would wander in, do it for a few months, and then move on.

Your mistake is thinking the US is a first world country

People have free will and while most people don't bother using it, a few in each generation think differently. Those are people like Einstein, Picasso, Hypatia, Curie, Yeshua, Tolkein, Wachowski, Ray. They bring genuinely new ideas into the space of human thought. If AI writes all the books, we don't get any more Voltaires. If AI makes all the movies, we don't get any more del Toros. If AI writes all the songs, we don't get any more Hendrixes.

We get Hendrix copycats, sure. But nobody is going to change the game the way all the people I listed changed the game.

Senator Collins, can you tell me about your government's tax plan?

I like how they just did a full loop in a turny door normally, but because they act confused it's a special effect.

What's going on in the top ģif though?
