For half a moment, I thought this said "read by Philip Fry." Stephen makes a lot more sense.

No wonder Mordecai kept blowing it with women.
Yeah they could stop giving away free games in a weak attempt to get people to use their shitty sub-par service. That probably costs them a good bit.
The only games on Epic I "own" are the free games I've cared enough to grab... and I still have opened Epic exactly zero times to play any of them. Pointless.
Yeah, Gen Z generally has good politics and seem like good kids, so I couldn't care less that they have silly slang. We had our own dumb slang our parents hated, too. If they can all understand each other clearly, what's the problem? Access to Urban Dictionary indeed is a game changer. I doubt all of them talk like this in a work environment, as well. So let them be themselves when they're not at work.

For larger groups "All y'all" is really more appropriate.
Seriously, this fucking sucks. So likely to see all the good things about Bandcamp disappear.
Things seem to have stabilized for the moment.
Decent amounts of content abound, imo.
I visit reddit sometimes, logged out, because I don't have an account anymore, but I really like the community here better, at the moment.
Anyway, things seem pretty smooth sailing these days on Lemmy for the most part.
It's got the ~~electrolytes~~ autocracy plants crave!
I mean, to be fair to Picard, it's unlikely that any conventional weaponry is useful on Q nor is there any way to contain Q. Trying to use weaponry on him or trying to contain him could make him respond in ways most unkind, and Picard knows this.
Poetry isn't the worst place to start, but maybe he should have tried some Vogon poetry if he really wanted to get the point across.
From the article, it sounds like there's been specific legal stuff going on that influenced this:
Newsom’s signature on Thursday reflects the power and influence of labor unions in the nation’s most populous state, which have worked to organize fast food workers in an attempt to improve their wages and working conditions.
It also settles — for now, at least — a fight between labor and business groups over how to regulate the industry. In exchange for higher pay, labor unions have dropped their attempt to make fast food corporations liable for the misdeeds of their independent franchise operators in California, an action that could have upended the business model on which the industry is based. The industry, meanwhile, has agreed to pull a referendum related to worker wages off the 2024 ballot.
So yeah, labor unions bringing cases that could effectively dismantle the corporate/franchisee relationship is a big, big deal to fast food companies, which are generally the most "franchised" types of businesses in the US. Agreeing to higher pay to slow unionization efforts and to outright stop cases that change how the core of their businesses function seems like a smart short-term move on their part.
It would still be better if it was for everyone, but this particularly seems to have some history behind why it happened for just these workers.
This is pretty much how I feel about Starfield.
It's got some strengths, but none of them able to cover for the sheer amount of bad boring writing and in general hamfisted story.
It's good... if you ignore all the bad parts.
