Never forget how originally Star Wars Return of the Jedi was supposed to take place on Corouscant with two partially constructed death stars in the orbit but George Lucas changed it because the concept was too visually complicated and would have exceeded the budget with the practical effects technology of the early 1980s Imagine what could have been...

It seems undeniable that Microsoft has just completely hollowed itself out. From an article by a former employee who returned in 2023.

People are flaming Max0r but he's 100% right We cannot forget that CD project red blatantly lied, overpromised and sold a completly faulty product To this day this game is nowhere near the expansive RPG that was promised to us and yes im still mad about it

Wow! Congressman-elect Richard Ojeda: “The Iran war is unacceptable. We need to end this war now... We're not the good guys. The good guys don't bomb children in schools... You know, we're in the wrong here, and that's just the way that it is.”

Watching Greta mature into a genuine agitprop left organizer pushing for int'l solidarity against Capitalism instead of taking the liberal "progressivism" route which was SLATED for her back when she was just a naive environmentalist advocate has been so enjoyably satisfying

They don’t. People like them the same way they “like” black coffee, dark chocolate and whiskey: they’re too weak willed to say the emperor’s naked and succumb to the social terrorists who threaten them with ostracism and humiliation for fun

It's just another example of guaranteeing the profits of the rich while screwing the workers who actually earned it. Which is what the US is actually built on.

Context matters. 2026 is not 1999. In 1999, oil companies were recovering from a severe slump. Today, they’re making record profits. In 1999, the only direction for price and demand was up. Today, price and demand are uncertain. This is a bet that could go horribly wrong.
