Her name is Light? Like the guy from Death Note?

These headlines keep saying $90 mount but it's basically "$90 access the mailbox and auction house from anywhere, and also get a mount".

It sucks that you have to buy a subscription and pay for the expansions.

That's what got me. I was paying $20 a month and after a year or so and then they ask for $60 to play the new content. What did you do with my $240 in subscription fees? Is that not to pay for new content?

The wiki page on leading and lagging current might as well be "demons and shit". Practical Engineering talks a bit about it in this video on power grids.

People in China have pets.

So many strange cultural traditions over there!

How are they still in business? Every single farmer, bar none, has to know about their business practices

Wendover Productions has a decent video on John Deere's market dominance. tl;dw It's by cutthroat capitalism of course.

John Deere has bought out all their competitors and continues to do so. Every single breakthrough in farming equipment technology in the last decade is owned by John Deere. As a farmer, you either choose to sign a one-sided contract with John Deere or you use outdated inefficient equipment that John Deere hasn't purchased the patent rights to. Or, of course, you sell your farm all together. Large corporate farms don't care much about the John Deere contract since they have the power to negotiate a better deal. A lot of small farmers have been making the choice to sell out.

Soon, all farming will be done by one megacorp, buying their seed from Monsanto, using John Deere equipment, and cashing in a ridiculously fat subsidy cheque from the government.

Asmondgold is a co-founder of the media company One True King. Another co-founder is "TipsOut", who is also a Muslim. He posted a very long message on Twitter about the hatred he and his family have dealt with simply because of their race and religion and called out Asmondgold for perpetuating that same hatred.

I don't think he changed his mind because of Twitch. He changed his mind because his Muslim business partner sat him down and educated him.

The context is irrelevant because nobody wants Ubisoft to fail because they don't make content that caters to them. It's a strawman argument. Does this Director of Monetization want to uplift his competitors? Absolutely not. He would love if all his competitors failed. Yet he gets on his high horse saying we must uplift his corporate venture to extract as much money as possible because we're all in this together??

It's always interesting that people are quick to talk about extreme weather changes but rarely want to address the causes. I ended up watching a video that touches on the topic. I hate Mondays.

Everyone hates Mondays and everyone loves talking about how Mondays suck! You'll never have conversations about "fixing" Mondays though. That's because Mondays are just a fact of life. There will always be a day you have to go to work. Moving the start day or shortening the work week doesn't change the fact that everyone will still dislike the day their time off ends and their work hours start. You can't "fix" Mondays.

There are also people who think other social problems are just like Mondays. Unfixable. Of course they agree it's bad! But there's just nothing that can be done.

How can you wish a company to fail

Very easily, actually.

My friends are addicted to League of Legends. I often ask them how they can put up with such a toxic culture and they said they like being toxic themselves. Just reminded me of Monty Python's "I'd like to have an argument, please".

I mean...you can. All lawsuits start with an application at a courthouse and that application can say whatever the plaintiff wants.

Here's youtube lawyer LegalEagle reviewing some crazy ones. Like a man who sued David Copperfield for stealing magical powers granted to him by God. Lawsuits can say literally anything in their initial application.
