And it was...pretty one-dimensional.
I feel like the "rich live in the sky, poor live on the wasted earth" was over the top. As opposed to S1 of Altered Carbon which was way better at addressing this trope. The meths were depraved, but you could kinda understand it
they've been alive for so long, but want to continue to "feel alive" through ever more extreme experiences.
Could alternately imply the existence of international...
I was so excited for Elysium because I thought it would be the spiritual sequel.
Good point
getting the shitty ones to identify themselves is a good start.
Unfortunately, I think there is no real way around companies killing games. Because as shitty as this is, is it worse than every game which doesn't intend to comply simply selling the game as a service instead? I doubt that could realistically be made illegal.
In other words, one way of complying would simply be to only sell a 1-mo. "lease" to your game. You don't own it, and at some point they stop selling more leases, and then kill the game. You never owned it to begin with, so you didn't lose anything; you are no longer a customer. Of course...this is just describing a shitty subscription system.
That said: I think it would be a good start for companies to be required to list earliest end-of-support date. You already get this with many hardware vendors (enterprise network gear won't be supported forever).
Wikipedia page has some explanation.
There's also this gem:
In October 2016, McDonald's decided that Ronald McDonald would keep a lower profile as a result of the incidents.
That said, a 16 year old was killed in relation to these incidents, so not completely fun and games.
Disregarding the down ballot issues, this is an incredibly myopic viewpoint.
States change affiliation. It takes time. And a red state that is less red than the previous election? That gets noticed. Policies can shift, slowly. More local offices will be challenged.
Criticizing? Absolutely.
Taking the asinine position of completely ignoring the realities of our political and electoral system and thinking that complaining misanthropically on the Internet is, somehow, a more effective means of bringing about change...that is not, in my view, how democracy is supposed to work (not saying this is what you're doing, just that there's a lot of that in this thread).
Don't forget the rejoining the Paris climate Agreement, proposal to lower overdraft fees, and the marijuana rescheduling efforts. But yeah literally nothing good from this administration /s
Buying Twitter was, arguably, a consequence.
Was Jobs really a techbro? I usually think of techbros as being fairly political/libertarian (or some interpretation of libertarianism, at any rate), while Jobs was afaik pretty apolitical.
Minimum wage shouldn't be a dollar amount, it should be a living amount defined in a reasonable and realistic way. (Probably should be region dependent, too?)
