Starship Troopers (the book), is only fascist if you assume that anyone that's pro-military is fascist.

In the book, the military is literally in the middle of genocide and killing unarmed families in civilian villages.

It’s been typical for qa and similar staff for a very long time. This article doesn’t specify what roles were cut so it’s hard to say if this is business as usual or not.

I stopped watching when it was blindingly obvious how they would let the then-dominant warriors build legitimate massive leads in the first quarter and then the refs would constantly penalize them for absolutely nothing until the 4th quarter to orchestrate a tight game before letting the warriors play again at the end. Then the warriors would be praised for being so good in the 4th.

I wasn’t a warriors fan. But the way the refs orchestrated pretty much every warriors game like it was a drama made it seem a lot more like WWE than a legitimate sport.

My favorite is “Java is slow” said by someone advocating for a language that’s at least 10 times slower.

Robots and software doing people’s work for them should be humanity’s greatest achievement, but capitalism makes it a disaster and humanitarian crisis.

Horrendous, insulting, out of touch phrasing from her as usual too. The democrats spending years propping her up and then stacking the deck in her favor in the primary are why we had Trump as president. She was the only person predicted to lose to him.

I disagree that it’s more economically health for adults to be their children’s dependents than it is for adult children to be dependent on their parents. Those are both equally unhealthy situations.

Why? If you own your own home, then why shouldn’t your kids live with you?

The cards were great, and I thought I would hate them.

The weird childish conversations and activities really killed the game for me. It was funny sort of. But it was like a 2:1 ratio of bullshit to strategic combat.
