*friend completely disagrees with me on politics * Me: "That's cool, we gonna play #Warframe later or nah?" *friend states that @innoutburger is better than @Whataburger Me: "I'M GONNA WEAR YOUR SKIN IN FRONT OF YOUR PARENTS."

it's funny how Valve spanked an actual Rothschild in court and then all of a sudden a bunch of these weird spurious lawsuits popped up it's bullshit btw they're not a monopoly and 30% cut is quite literally industry standard you pay that to sell on Nintendo/Sony/Xbox consoles

Wild how "relationships don't necessarily entail sex" and "those two close male friends obviously want to fuck each other" are sentiments held simultaneously by the same group of people without the slightest hint of introspection and irony.

Guess who one of the main companies was that tried to stop our efforts to prevent Chinese company Fufeng from building a massive corn kill near Grand Forks AFB... And guess why certain city/county officials, state officials, and local economic development leaders were so in the bag for Fufeng...

At my last company, there was a list of legal-approved third party software libraries you could use. If a library was not on that list, you needed approval from legal. The lead time on those approvals was about 18 months, and it was hundreds and hundreds of hours of filling out forms, reading EULAs, attending meetings, and defending your usage of specific software libraries over others. Basically you spend months acting as a lawyer instead of a software developer. Of course, you cannot develop your new product during this time. However, if you just went ahead and used the library you wanted, there was a secondary emergency approval process which you could invoke only if you found out during active development that you'd "accidentally" used an unapproved library. This cut the time and paperwork by about 50%, but was still a long and annoying process and required halting development to be compliant. And then there was the third, secret process available to you if you just said "Fuck all this dumb shit" and did the work and released the product. Once the product is released theyre not going to unrelease it, so legal would just retroactively approve your usage of the third party library with 1 email, 1 meeting, and 1 form, and a promise that you wouldnt do it again.

Ok, Debra Wilson jumping in for a joke made me respect her a lot. I don’t really have an issue with her specifically and her ability to act, but I really wish devs would stop using all the actors’ likenesses and give us varied designs again because she can pull off a ton of characters.

One thing I learned from 15 years working on video games: If QA asks about a random edge case, it's folly to think "Who would ever actually do that?" There's always someone who would do that. And they'd probably make a YouTube video about it, too.

I didn't think I'd be giving updates on this nearly a month later but I thought you guys would enjoy this.

Articles like this are meant to you blackpill because we are “chopping down trees in Yellowstone.” But don’t worry this is completely fake. First, it’s meant to panic you about timber extraction when the National Forests were created in the 1890s for timber and watersheds. The Multiple Use mandate (a law passed in the 1960s) requires we manage American national forests for co-equal purposes: outdoor recreation, timber, grazing, watersheds, fish and wildlife. This means one “use” under the multiple use framework cannot, by law, preclude the others. Timber harvest under multiple use should be a source of American pride in conservation. Multiple use is a uniquely American innovation that gives many different types of people and businesses real skin-in-the-game in public land conservation. The 2026 Forest Service is pretty great at balancing conservation science, outdoor recreation, and extraction based livelihoods. Funny enough, despite what the article is trying to mislead you into thinking, the planned clearcut isn’t really even for timber, it’s mainly to remove dead down trees caused by insects/disease to prevent wildfire. The Biden era emergency declaration they’re using to speed this fire mitigation up is to prevent endless lawsuits from crazy NGOs that make management next to impossible. The proposed Bear Palmer project is less than 1 percent of the 3 million acre Custer Gallatin National Forest. It’s a tiny, localized vegetation removal project. The type of clearcut proposed here *sounds* bad to people who know nothing of Mountain West forests, but it’s well within the Custer Gallatin’s own Biden-era 2022 management plan. Forest management plans are documents that take years of science, manager, and public input to establish a sustainable management strategy including vegetation and timber plans. The management plan itself says a clearcut like this is the ideal path to regeneration for species like lodegpole pine because these trees are shade intolerant, meaning they need sunlight. So regeneration is best after what’s called a “stand replacing disturbance” or a clearcut. Bear Palmer is a prioritized stand because there is a lot of deadfall due to insect issues or big wildfire risks. Beyond all that, no clearcut happens without an additional NEPA and special assessments of wildlife, old growth, listed species like griz, and so on, beyond the requirements of their own plan. You can read hundreds of pages of these assessments on their website today. Clearcutting is literally *the* preferred regeneration method for lodegpole to reduce wildfire risk and disease within the forest’s own plan and meet ecological objectives for regrowth! It’s just crazy to me that supposedly environment focused publications can miss the mark so egregiously. Whose interests are served by making the American people think the Forest Service is bad at managing trees/wildlife?! It’s actually, in terms of its science and management plans, really good at that. I was so astounded by how terrible this article was that I had to look into the author, who is an “award winning Bangladeshi journalist” who recently moved here to do a degree in journalism at the University of Montana. Maybe before writing an article so strangely out of touch with the way we manage national forests like the Custer Gallatin this guy should probably learn a little more about the American system? Who funds the demoralization propaganda website Inside Climate News? Of course it’s the same opaque network of foundations (Ford, MacArthur, Rockefeller) pushing climate extremist degrowth nonsense everywhere else. Only in America do massive foundations push panic agitprop to undermine our own public land agencies/demoralize Americans about our national forest system written by people who got here 5 minutes ago.

You guys had your chance to one up it, and you failed. Game companies caught on that you're never happy, and they NEED sales.

Then you have Red Ranger Isekai which is like the exact opposite. Wears its love for Sentai on its sleeve.

theres like a certain type of person out there that thinks I was or still am fighting culture wars stuff like the hogwarts drama was because I felt angry over people going after one of my favorite vtubers at the end of the day, im an Otaku for vtubers 🙏

Correct. As we all know, women aren't real. Anyone on the Internet claiming to be a woman is a federal agent. This is one hundred percent true every time without variation.

I don't care how much other things cost. I'm not buying a Switch 2.
