'Evacuation zone' aka these peoples homes and communities, where many other civilians need rescue and aid. No no please keep supporting the idea that 2 million people can just move to an undeveloped plain and have all aid including food, water and shelter withheld. Collective punishment is a war crime.

Monstrous take. Do better.

Sigourney Weaver also beat Tom Cruise's record - but not by as much

I see this a fair bit, but like our main things are Full English (fried), Fish & Chips (fried), and Roast Dinner (roasted, shockingly), so where does this come from?

Isn't Dishonored somewhat of a spiritual successor?

I remember seeing a comic once about two devs, one complaining that this senior always puts lots of nitpicky comments on her code review, and the other replies that he always makes one obvious mistake, so the senior can point it out and feel like they've done their job

Its simple greed and disdain for their users that they somehow believe if they begin to charge for something that used to be free the use base will simply eat it and be happy.

I'm by no means saying that they have no further role in the company, and you are absolutely correct that these companies need to continue to innovate. This is why I mentioned transitioning control to a better candidate, because the role of the CEO changes as the company matures.

Smart founders should find a way to continue to play into their strengths instead of clinging to the highest title, otherwise they will always need to be removed.

Generally the type of people who make good founders have to be dreamers to believe that their crazy idea not only can work but can change the world.

These people do not make good leaders as the company matures, as it now needs certainty for investors and detailed plans and structure instead of moonshot fantasies.

The same traits that make them good founders also make it difficult for them to let go of their position, or recognize that they should transition control to a better suited candidate, so often they must be removed by the board.

Starmer is utterly terrified of getting painted with the anti-semitism brush, and is massively overcompensating as a result
