Sadly, VW has never strayed far from their roots.

They've always been just a little scummy on the business practices side of things. More than a little scummy during WW2...

They do sometimes have good engineering. Which means fuck all in the face of management who want to cut corners and cheat to make more money.

Yup, kbin for the win.

Just wish it had a mobile app...

I just played through it.

It's about 5 hours of content. The puzzles are interesting and mostly new.

If you own Portal 2, the mod is free to play.

The one thing he was at the company to do, was make good games that make good money.

Covering for rapists and threatening to kill employees is bad enough, but I can see a world where that sort of shit is, not forgiven, but swept under the rug.

That world is one where the money flows. It's not a good world, but it's one that's understandable.

But fucking with the games and making shit worse? In a sane world, the Board would take a look at the company and say, no. this guy has to go for all of the above reasons.

That sane world is one where mergers and acquisitions are heavily scrutinized, and Blizzard was not allowed to merge with Activision.

Actual competition in the space means that the CEO has to actually be halfway good at the job, and maybe not a complete psycho. We don't live in a sane world.

Another option, she's buying a new house down the road, and selling this one to pay for it.

If the person who did this wanted the other house but lost out on the bid, this is a fairly low-cost way of fucking up that deal. And if the deal still goes through, then it's just a costly act of petty revenge.

There might be a link between the bans from dating apps and the "not been in a long-term relationship"...

I love the odd artifacts.

Dude has both hands in his pockets, but also one hand holding a bird wing, that's also somehow his other-other hand.

Hyperloop didn't fail, it did exactly what Musk wanted. It killed the California high speed rail plan. At least for a few years.

A quick search of those golf pictures says that he might just be that fat.

Found this definition;

In the United States, legal blindness means your central visual acuity—the part of your vision that allows you to see straight ahead—is 20/200 or less in your better eye when wearing corrective lenses. With 20/200 vision, you can see at 20 feet what a person with 20/20 vision sees at 200 feet. Or, your 20-degree field allows for seeing only right in front of you.

You can be legally blind with tunnel vision, i.e. you can see directly ahead, but nothing out of the corner of your eye.

The report (if you can still find a working link) said that the vast majority of material that they found was drawn and animated, and hosted on one Mastodon instance out of Japan, where that shit is still legal.

Every time that little bit of truth comes up, someone reposts the broken link to the study, screaming about how it's the entire Fediverse riddled with child porn.

They ditched the "don't be evil" years ago. Now it's "As many ads as possible".

I hear that they can cover up to 80% of a user's visual field without inducing seizures.
