60% of the time, it works every time

AMEN. I’m sure many women will agree with me that getting hit on in a linkedin dm is so demoralizing.

I’ve had men as me if I did sex documentaries (?), just tell me I’m hot, and ask to connect because I look like I’m nice, all sorts of creepy stuff. These guys have impressive profiles and look like they’re doing well, but they are slimeballs and it made me not want to use LinkedIn at all, which is hard when you’re on the job Markey.

Already working on it. Just need to find someplace I can get a job that will let me work outside the US.

$700?!? Are you freaking kidding? I’ll stick with my PC, thanks.

+1 Usual Suspects for sure. That movie blew my mind.

I would have fully supported a movie with Mister Torgue running around having adventures. Of course he would be played by John Cena in a mullet.

Same. It’s nice to have a way to quickly look through a bunch of options (even if 95% of them are shitty Chinese counterfeits). I’ll even look through the reviews and see if anything glaring jumps out. But I haven’t been a prime member since they put ads in prime video and haven’t really missed it.

The story in Horizon Forbidden West is pretty good too. There’s a whole bit in the dlc about Ted Faro that I did not see coming, but it makes me think a lot of the tech bros running things today.

Yeah, but the non-tech savvy business leaders see they can generate code with AI and think ‘why do I need a developer if I have this AI?’ and have no idea whether the code it produces is right or not. This stat should be shared broadly so leaders don’t overestimate the capability and fire people they will desperately need.

Plus they are bleeding money from all the acquisitions and haven’t seen the return they expected in game pass subs. The cost cutting isn’t done and it would be very surprising for them to try to dump more money into new storefronts when they are still trying to make their own business model profitable (to their expectations).

He works for a marketing and web design firm. So the guy who designed their graphics is gone and they are using AI tools. Imagine paying for a firm to build you web and marketing materials only to have someone just use an AI.

Why bother paying the marketing firm at all?

Some interesting info in this article. If game pass hasn’t really paid off (in maintaining growth of new or recurring users), this may be an indication that they will make some changes to it.

WHEN LAWYERS WRITE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS IT MEANS WHATEVER THEY ARE SAYING IS SUPER DUPER LEGAL AND NO ONE CAN EVER QUESTION IT.

Whenever I think of the good old days of the internet (like 2000-2009) I think of using stumbleupon and finding the best and most random stuff.

Oolong, steeped in my tea mug that has a lid on it. Usually with some local honey. Mmmm

Saw trailer for this the other day. Looks really interesting.

I agree, but I do think that is kind of the point with him.

I do not get every other character’s willingness to overlook it and treat him like just another quirky member of the gang. I mean, Tanisha has no social skills but she’s at least clever and has some clear utility to the Raiders.

Can’t even imagine the feeling of being a parent of a deaf one year old who gets gene therapy and within 6 months is able to say their first word, “mama”.

Got to be just overwhelming.

I’m in!

I know! I found it through Hacker News and was skeptical about it given the click bait looking thumbnail and title but it turned out to be pretty decent. That record holder looks like he’s about 12 - so weird to think of someone that young playing an NES game.
