A significant amount of compsci angst post-graduation is caused by business majors and their lack of knowledge about what they're managing. But the people who are currently students aren't complaining about that actual grievance, they're mostly bitter about other majors having more fun.

It's wild how people pretend that the prequels weren't hated by a bunch of people. Like, the Plinkett Reviews of the prequels were legendary YouTube videos for years before people started ironically memeing the prequels in, like, 2016.

Really makes me think they need a union. Also makes me wonder what all Linus learned from this guy who "taught me everything about management" if this is his style of management.

I work in IT, and every time I do an install (sometimes new computers, sometimes not) for someone I see Microsoft's little News widget they put on the Taskbar, the one that pops up a huge window if you mouse over it. Every time I see that, I ask the person if they ever use it, and they always say no. Then I ask them if they want it gone, and they always say yes, usually with some kind of relief. It's a matter of two clicks to do it, easier than going into the settings menu like your screenshot, but every computer I haven't been on previously has it. Now, I'd wonder why Microsoft would put something on the Taskbar that is, in my experience, universally disliked. To me it reeks of the pathetic, groveling, "I'll suck your dick" energy they have when someone installs Chrome.

Windows 10 changed a lot over the course of its lifetime, and while some feature are good, like Dark Mode, they're mostly useless or downright bad. So putting something that most people will never use and will greatly confuse and annoy the average user in a place that has been dedicated to a single function for at the very least Windows 10's entire lifetime (I think it's there in 8 and maybe 7 also) for seemingly no reason other than to fuck with people's muscle memory is just one more move very worthy of griping about, no matter how easy it is for users to turn off. Because 99% of users just won't, because they aren't confident enough to go futzing around in the settings. But they'll still get whatever god awful popup this button shows every time they try to show desktop like they've been doing for over a decade. It's yet another change that nobody asked for, nobody will use, and that the user will have to remember that it's different now for no reason.

I had seen a post here a few days ago where they hired a third party to go over the allegations that Madison made, and they were essentially cleared however long after, but were also told that they still need to work on reporting and hr stuff. Which to me indicates that there was probably no documentation made if they did happen, so it would be impossible to audit like two years later, because being ignored when she told someone about the sexual harassment was one of her complaints. However, maybe you trust a neutral third party because taking the side of the company every time means their reputation for neutrality would be worthless, which means their business is dead. But in LTT's statement they made it clear that while they did believe there was enough in their report to justify a defamation case, they just want to leave it behind them. Great stuff to include in your statement /s.

No, it was him watching Moscow hookers pissing on a bed in the presidential suite of a hotel, with a previous resident of that room being Obama. It's been a while since I thought about the piss tape.

Vegeta's first act on screen is to blow up an entire planet, probably killing hundreds of millions

And also Ubisoft isn't American, they're a French company. So instead of Guile we should have Manon.

Fun fact, the X in X-Mas is actually the Greek letter X (pronounced Chai or Key) that has been an accepted shortening for Christ, oftentimes by the Catholic Church, for literally thousands of years! If you've ever seen that P with an X at the bottom, that's Chi Roh, another Greek shortening of Christ or Christos. So people earnestly bitching about "taking the christ out of Christmas" with Xmas is a moron who doesn't know their own religion's history.

And there was a point in... 3, I think, where Harry was instructed to delay catching the snitch until they were at least 50 points up because they wouldn't have enough league points or something to progress if he didn't.

And so, to make the DNC face concequences, let's make them lose to the candidate that's aspiring to be a second Mussolini immediately! When he does the Day of the Rope, all those trans people who get hanged will appreciate that we made sure the DNC had concequences!

Andor is way better than the prequels, honestly people who venerable those movies are giving them more credit than they deserve. Makes me feel like they got too lost in the sauce since /r/prequelmemes blew up.

The only place the OK City bombing was considered a war was inside Timothy McVeigh's diseased mind, so I would contest that his rental van was not a technical, but mostly on a technicality.

Yes, but I would hold off on buying any rulebooks until the remaster comes out. All of the rules are free online, and the Pathbuilder app/website is very helpful in seeing which options are available for you. If you want a good starting point, I recommend an adventure path, which is a 3 or 6 book campaign that takes you from levels 1-20 (six book) or levels 1-10 or 10-20 (three books). They're much better than the published adventures for some other games, since Paizo's history is in writing adventures, and they don't require much work beyond what is in the book for a satisfying story and adventure. Those are fine to buy, since they are compatible with the new version and they will not be reissued later. Same with setting materials, which are extensive and have a good amount of detail on various places in the world. I'd try things out in roll20 or foundry, which have the base rules integrated for free, and see if you like it.

You should look up his cult! I'm being serious, the guy has a cult. Here are the first two articles I found about it. Add that to the fact that he's the worst part of basically every movie he's in and he did shit like mail used condoms to his costars on Suicide Squad in the name of "method acting" and I feel like the general disgust with him being the main character in any movie, particularly one someone would otherwise be interested in is warranted.
