100%. A full on IT Workers Union would immediately become one of the most powerful weapons in fighting the oppression of the capitalist class. An IT strike could be effective enough that a general strike wouldn’t be necessary

Yeah if this takes off it’s got a really problematic acronym

This is about a succinct of a deconstruction of the DNCs hand in this cycle as I’ve seen. They’re effectively Ned Stark

Look Billy Carter was a drunk but no one was ever as drunk as Nixon in the White House

Yes. Charging money for sharing content like that makes them little better than grifters

I’ve no clue how Robert and Sofie keep finding folks like Garrison(Gare? I can’t tell if they decided to stick with that name or not), James, and Ed but they’re batting 1000

I relistened to it the whole series on him the night he dies while drinking champagne. Felt good

Ok hear me out, we let the GOP fight big tech over lesbian AI, whoever wins gives us one less big problem to deal with, we’d lose out on sapphic robot love but the upsides are huge

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Or in an even darker timeline Lockheed-Martin or Raytheon will open a commercial division, I guess at least the shit will work

Oh I’m not suggesting the will or are able to, I’m coming from a strategic standpoint

Unless Apple became the first to figure out how, then they suddenly have a huge leg up on the rest. Which is kinda how Apple has been making their bread for most of their successes in my lifetime

Eh everything is political in one way or the other, but you can appreciate the craftsmanship that workers put into building or designing something like a coke machine or antique phone without validating Coca-Cola or AT&T(formerly Bell along with every other phone company) as good forces.

They influenced and defined parts of our culture for good or ill, I myself tend to think it’s the latter in the macro sense, but it’s still interesting as a piece of history that someone imagined, someone else built, and countless other people used. It’s not like confederate statues or something else akin to monuments which were purposefully put in place to try and define and frame history, they are parts of our living history and that will always be kinda cool.

The fucking nazis actually come to mind, Hugo Boss knows how to cut fabric

Edit: to be clear I’m not saying wearing SS uniforms would be acceptable but I also think there’s a bit of space between that and having an antique coke machine for the look

I’m from Atlanta, trust me I know all the terribleness, doesn’t change that I think it aesthetically looks cool and it’s tied to my memory of a nice lady I never really got to know because Alzheimer’s

Financiers and nutmeg? Wait that’s the same too

Coca-Cola is an evil company. But it’s still fucking crazy to me that the company became so successful that it’s product at one point was the most recognizable/understood word in the world behind OK is just selling bubbly sugar water at an absurd markup.

I also have complicated feelings about their old antique merch because I know it’s effectively propaganda, but I think it looks really cool and my grandmother had a lot of it around her house

Also madden, fifa, ncaa and all the sports games

Assault on the control room is my personal favorite level to play, but Silent Cartographer is about as perfect a Halo level as you could ask for

That would be a really smart move by Larian, effectively creates an infinite market for the game. Say what you will about Skyrim and Bethesda but that game still shits money
