    SEC probing Activision Blizzard in wake of harassment, discrimination lawsuits

    My first impulse was to argue with this point, but the horrifying reality is that it is a statement of fact. One that contributes an amount of insight to the conversation in an incredibly disproportionate way compared to how short and simple the comment is. Thanks, I hate it.

    SEC probing Activision Blizzard in wake of harassment, discrimination lawsuits

    Before I get into my reply, I am going to acknowledge that mental health and suicide are nuanced and complex topics. This reply is merely a small portion of my thoughts on the topic simplified for this conversation and shouldn't be taken as more than that. That implies that suicide is usually a...

    Biden’s baffling FCC delay could give Republicans a 2-1 FCC majority

    The primary subtextual promise of his campaign was that he would maintain the status quo as it was before Trump. Sure he made some big promises, everyone does, but really, what he was branded as was "safe", "reasonable", "measured", and "familiar".

    Biden’s baffling FCC delay could give Republicans a 2-1 FCC majority

    When there are so many other words, why do you chose one that the majority a disadvantaged and oft mistreated group of people ask not be used as they consider it a slur against them?

    Biden’s baffling FCC delay could give Republicans a 2-1 FCC majority

    First part of your post is fine, second part looks a lot like like the bs spewed by those that don't think well and drag the rest of the country down. When you find your thoughts shared with such company it is probably a good idea to examine your thoughts and beliefs thoroughly. There are good...

    Matrix Resurrections trailer is sheer perfection, both fresh and familiar

    The song choice MAKES the trailer. The Matrix series and White Rabbit are so thematically related it's basically a given that they ended up together.

    Forensic tracking could verify uranium cube came from Nazi nuclear effort

    Were I the type to want to collect NAZI artifacts, it's hard to imagine am item that would be more desirable than one of these cubes. That said, I imagine that a large percentage of that kind of collector are interested in the more symbolic items, like weapons, documents, and uniforms rather...

    As Apple postpones office return, workers say they value flexibility over money

    To all those who say > something something chance encounters at the water cooler. I understand your argument, and I don't mean to belittle it, but it is only a valid argument against poorly implemented remote work and implementing it in a workplace with an incompatible team culture. Plenty of...

    Dominion Voting files scorching $1.7B defamation lawsuits against Newsmax, OAN

    A criminal record imo is not an appropriate way to gauge those things about a person. Crime is primairly driven by a factors, poverty, lack of access to quality education, exposure to over policing and such all make a person more likely to commit crime. But those things do not make a person more...

    Dominion Voting files scorching $1.7B defamation lawsuits against Newsmax, OAN

    This standard is no longer appropriate. There are enough unreasonable people that defamatory comments no reasonable person would believe can be believed by enough people to cause significant harm. This standard protects the guilty. A new standard that accounts for this flaw while still...

    Researchers announce the smallest exoplanet discovered yet

    What about chunks of energy? Or maybe antimatter, that will be a good way to stick it to the doubters!* *A metaphorical cookie to whoever figures out if a collision between pluto and an antimatter object of equal mass would actually stick it to those who say pluto isn't a planet.

    Researchers announce the smallest exoplanet discovered yet

    Naw, I would rather have the telescopes use the sun as a lens. Then we should be able to get 25KM per pixel resolution at 100 LY distance. Though you might be able to put interferometry hardware on these.

    Google Cloud offers a model for fixing Google’s product-killing reputation

    I ran, there are several statements that are highly critical of Google in this article. I highly doubt any company hired to promote GCP would pay for and approve the release of this article. That said, this is Google we are talking about, and shooting themselves in the foot seems to be as high...
