When I was that age my parents let me swear as long as we weren't in public, because they knew the novelty would wear off if it wasn't totally restricted.

It worked, I got bored and tempered my language to the point that I rarely ever swear.

Imagine if Microsoft did the same thing with Windows? Allowing software companies to just suddenly change the rules like that could be a terrible precedent. They would probably get hit with antitrust for like the 50th time since they opened their doors.

Turns out other businesses aren't fond of being asked to pay a dollar to reload, who knew?

They keep walking back further and their stock prices just keep plummeting. I would like to say I hope the CEO, who is the former CEO of EA, for any who aren't aware, gets fired for this. But we all know that no matter how hard he messes up, some other business will pay him millions in incentives to pick him up.

Rule 1: You are playing The Game.

You, along with everyone else in the world, always is, always has been, and always will be playing The Game. Neither awareness nor consent is required to play.

Rule 2: Every time you think about The Game, you lose.

Loss is temporary; as soon as you forget about The Game you stop losing. The objective of The Game is to forget that it exists. Good luck.

Rule 3: Loss of The Game must be announced.

Every time you think about The Game, and hence lose, you must say so. This is the only rule that can be broken, but do you really need to cheat..?

Congratulations, you are now playing The Game, and you just lost.

I always thought there should be a minimum hold time. Somewhere between 1-5 years after they leave their position.

It encourages them to think long term instead of just the next quarter, and they really have to leave the company in a better place than they found it.

benefactor tends to be the Republican party who has members, like Trump himself, who are in the pocket of these foreign nations.

Generally, the benefactors are most rich people in general. If everybody's getting angry at each other about pronouns and medical treatment for a fraction of a percentile of people, they're not paying attention to the rich who get richer from everyone else getting poorer.

You can replace trans rights with whatever overblown topic you choose, I'm just using it as an example because it's topical. But the amount of legislative cost being dedicated to putting down maybe 0.2% of the overall population is ridiculous. That same energy could be spent doing literally anything else productive.

It's the presentation of the information that really matters. Even if it's not effective, a water based battery proof of concept is still better than nothing. Just because it isn't practical right now doesn't mean it isn't noteworthy.

The issue is presenting it with the implication that it's a ready to use product.

In my Pokemon Red I used the Master Ball to catch a Polywhirl because I really liked Polywhirl, and underestimated how hard the legendaries would be to catch. Also I was like 8, so long term planning skills weren't all that developed yet.

I don't carry a calculator in my pocket, just a device that has access to the sum of all human knowledge.

And a calculator.
