100% agree. It's crazy that we have 30 year fixed rate loans with basically no penalty to refinance. Don't get me wrong, it's working for me, but I wish it was different because it's so unfair.

IT systems need a way to pre-enter an account deactivation, and when HR sends a text to the system it makes it live, or something. I've been the IT guy who was told to disable an account, and the user found out before the news was broken so they asked me what was going on. No bueno.

I guess I was thinking of how to videos like how to fix a part on your car. But yeah I can see how how to videos like that still being an opportunity for Google to make money.

People who watch tutorial videos only get on, watch the video and then leave. How are they supposed to make tons of advertising revenue from that? No, we must sacrifice that class of video from the platform, in pursuit of the almighty dollar.

There are probably better returns on making games for the existing markets, vs gambling money making games hoping to grow a new market. If VR ever truly takes off, they can always jump in later. (Which is a shame because I would love it if there were a ton of great VR games)

I don't have an aversion to underground games, but I think on some level I don't love games/movies set out in deserts, whether they're sandy or rocky. I think in the back of my mind, I'm thinking "man, that looks uncomfortable and dry. I wouldn't like being there."

I don't avoid things set in deserts, and I'm sure I've seen/played many good things in that setting, so it may not be as strong as your underground thing, but yeah, I think I have something similar.

Okay, that's all, now we can proceed to call me Anakin Skywalker.

*Obvious money laundering is money laundering (and also a scam).

Haven't heard of it before now

Actually, I saw enough comments about people switching to Linux that I finally said "what the hell" and took the plunge! Very glad I did, as I read more and more crap Microsoft is doing.

And if you don't like comments that won't change anything and just annoy people...maybe you should reevaluate your bellyaching 😄
