2 teams of 6? 6 / 2 = 3....
It's that "if I can't see it, it doesn't exist" mentality. My cat acts like that, because she gets surprised every time something comes back into view and still exists.
JCVD (2008), definitely. Aside from that, no, most of the goodies are older IMHO. But some which are supposedly bad I actually really enjoyed, for example: The Quest and Legionnaire.
Yes, excellent point. Realistically we should trust no one who stands to make money off of us, even if we are already giving them money.
As someone who recently went on a JCVD journey and watched everything he ever did, I appreciate this.
Also, watch more JCVD.
Ah yes. Fewer consequences for the rich is what we need.
Google exists to make money off of you. Unless you are actually paying them, you are the product. It's that simple.
Take with a grain of salt any claims they make about you regarding services they will offer you for free.
Not an internet thing at all. The writing has been on the wall for years about right wing politics in the US. Since long before the internet.
The devil will be in the details. They likely reduced hours to compensate, which they already do to avoid "pitfalls" like paying for healthcare.
Wal-Mart's pockets are deep enough that they could have started paying living wages and made an example of it. Sales probably would have gone up, too. But they didn't do that. Raising wages to a new poverty wage is helpful, but we shouldn't confuse it with any real change in status quo.

I like this. It has a kind of military radio chic.
Keeping birth rates high is hugely important for capitalism to maintain its endless growth of wealth.
And 6 free months of "identity protection" which is actually just a total farce.
The planet will die and these people will still be worrying about stock price.
We have so many monopolistic companies in the US that should have been nationalized years ago. It's one reason we can't have nice things.
I post this in offering to the internet gods, that this may be the first step which leads to an actually meaningful change.
I've been on Lemmy ever since the reddit API fracas. To date, I have not seen a reason to return. I have, however, seen many reasons to stay away.
I wouldn't either. Dumb TVs are getting harder and harder to find though.

Good way to kill my interest in anything, at the moment.
They claimed it was so we could have bigger worlds
All such claims remind me of SimCity shooting itself in the foot. Frankly I'm more surprised that the industry still hasn't learned, but I guess it is to be expected since everything is now run by MBAs.
I've had the same early smart TV for about ten years now. The greatest thing that happened to it was the WiFi dying. I suspect I wouldn't have it anymore if that weren't the case.
It's a 42" Samsung if anyone is curious, and the WiFi just... Stopped working.
I know a lot of people hate this kind of feature, but there are significant reasons why I think it would make Starfield better.
If I'm not wearing one and I leave my ship, I start taking damage if the planet is dangerous. The only way around that is to be in 3rd person while in the ship (aside from the workaround below). There isn't any indication anywhere as to whether or not you are in a spacesuit, besides your menu and 3rd person view. There is no way to know while maintaining immersion.
Bethesda's workaround is to auto-hide spacesuits and helmets in atmo. This sucks, because I personally like tailoring the look of my character to the environment. But more importantly, I want to know that I am wearing a pressure suit if I'm out in a dangerous environment. I don't want it to feel like I'm a freecam wandering around -- I want to feel like I'm slogging along in a freaking spacesuit.
What's really strange is: if you put on the broken Constellation helmet, you can see the tape piece from the inside. It has an overlay! Sadly this works for no other helmet. Did they just abandon making the textures?
A similar annoyance with a related system: the quick menu does not unequip items. This would make it super easy to change between a spacesuit and regular outfit and not deal with more menus.
I figure there will be a mod at least for helmet overlays eventually, but damn is it frustrating that they definitely thought about it and only implemented it for a piece of masking tape.
