Congressional salaries are kind of sticky situation. There ARE some strong arguments in favor of increasing their pay, but at the same time a lot of congress members really don't need the money. Maybe their pay rate should be based on total income. Kind of a progressive pay-scale like we do...

Well Quark isn't QUITE woke. He's a staunch capitalist and rather racist despite having softened his views somewhat by the end of the series. Nog, though.. He rejected tradition to join an organization that is the antithesis in many ways of what the Ferengi Alliance stands for.

It was a movie about a business deal wrapped in the clothing of a political thriller with a couple of video-game-inspired scenes sprinkled about. It was better than it deserved to be, actually. It was essentially the story about how Bullet-Proof Software acquired the international publishing...

Twitter grew to a size that makes it hard to kill. Don't worry, musk is on it, it's just taking longer than we expected.

Yea for every American Revolution we get 10 or so Reign of Terrors.

It will be harder for Texas to pull that off because, you know, there's no evidence Biden stoked an insurrection in order to stay in power. Not saying they won't try, though.

Truly amazing to me that they still have AT LEAST ONE major update scheduled for release on this game even after announcing their new open world fantasy game(which has itself been being worked on for the past 5 years in secret). For a team of their size and given the state NMS released in it's...

Trust me, I know. Alabama's government is squarely in the ' own the libs' camp, but even blue leaning states like Delaware were considering adding a tax to electric vehicles to offset lost fuel tax revenue.

I think the (flawed)logic goes that even if you aren't directly benefiting the grid, you are indirectly, since it benefits those around you so you should still pay the utility companies. Which on its face isn't totally wrong, but the way it's implemented actually hurts grid decentralization AND...

I can guarantee that 50% of twitter's users don't even know what a VPN is. Still even if true loosing 50% of European users would make advertisers even LESS likely to stick or return to Twittter.

Funny thing is I'm sure there are parts of Florida where you can find 10 similar sets of facial tattoos within a 5 mile radius. Also any alleged use of similar tattoos on a GTA NPC could likely be covered under fair use. GTA always leaned heavily on satire, after all.

Bring back Geocities....The web was more interesting when it wasn't dominated by a handful of social media sites.

I hate sports, but I love spornts.

Which is also a result of deregulation. It used to be that one company wasn't allowed to own multiple stations in a single market(heck, it was actually a plot point in UHF). That ended in 2003, I believe. Now one company can own up to three in a single market and most markets don't really...

Depending on the municipality/state and the size of the business, that might be illegal.

I'm still trying to figure out how he can sue the Swedish government for the actions of its citizens. Seems unhinged, even for current-day Musk.

Who won't Elon sue? He's at the point in his life that everyone knows what he's full of so his only recourse is to bring out the lawyers his insane wealth allows him to hire.

Yea. It failed. Part of that I feel is they didn't to a great job of making sure people knew it was happening. The last message from Joel said that they MIGHT have a way to move forward by securing funding from some mysterious partners. It's not Dr Kabahl, but hopefully it's not round 2 with...

Military brass should be forced to watch Terminator, Star Trek's 'Ultimate Computer' episode, Colossus: The Forbin Project, etc. The minute an AI controlled drone commits a friendly fire incident heads will roll.

Yea, I tend to agree. I think it's bad timing all around for this campaign(too close to Christmas with people still reeling from the massive inflation last year, starting during the SAG/AFTRA strike, etc). Could still pull off a miracle, but the way it's going now.... REALLY wanted to see the...
