Just a reminder; the solution to traffic is almost never more roads.

That's more secure than most setups, the VPN with killswitch will defeat any and all attacks you're likely to encounter if you don't open files on that same VM.

You hear constant propaganda about how something's bad for you, you try it to rebel a bit, you get a buzz, you get addicted.

Some people simply aren't as attached to life as you are.

Can you define theft in any way that includes digital copying?

Sure, if the DLC isn't cut content from the game. That's the problem. If they have already developed the content, then it should be released with the rest of the game, for the price of the game. DLC, should it be developed at all, should be an expansion beyond the original scope of development funded by the excess profit from the game.

This is definitely a major reason. Windows 11 forces TPM 2, random hardware requirements that make no sense, and is objectively a downgrade from windows 10 (like every other windows version always is). Since Windows 10 is two years out from EoL and all major Linux distros have gotten so much better... might as well upgrade while you can still go back to 10 should you need to, before you have to be on Linux or throw out a bunch of otherwise fine computers.

Because office space 'overhead' was solved for decades ago. The same shareholders of a company own shares in at least a dozen commercial real estate companies. Their bottom line goes up when a company rents or owns commercial property. It doesn't matter if ProductionCo loses 10% revenue a year, RealEstateCo gets at least that much plus all more if they own the surrounding buildings all the restaurants are in that support the office.

Capitalism, contrary to popular belief, does not optimize for economic efficiency, just profit; and as it turns out profit has little to do with efficiency if you zoom out of any one particular company.

Python is legitimately the best language by far for the vast majority of non-performance critical tasks, and most tasks that need to be developed for are not performance critical.

His age and drug habits would make that a terrible move, on top of the fact he literally cannot shut up. If he had good lawyers, there would be no possible way in hell they would physically allow him to take the stand even if he insisted on it. Luckily for anyone rooting against him, he has truly terrible lawyers that know they're probably not getting paid at the end of this either way.

Ya'll better watch out now y'hear? We don take kindly to that kind'a hate speech 'round these parts. Equal weight beans and beef, you skimp out either and yain't fixin' chili; you might'ina even be inclined to leave for everyone's sake.

Most conservatives, as in all of those not in charge, have issues with empathy; specifically imagining the inner world of any other human being. That's not to say that cannot do this very simple human activity, rather they specifically cannot imagine any other human on the planet thinks any differently or has any other motivations than them. Therefore if they would do something in a situation, then everyone in that situation must be trying to do the thing that they would do.

They believe democrats are weaponizing the justice system, because it's what they would do, and thus they assume anyone that failed to do that before now was simply prevented from doing so -- now that they see 'weaponized' justice happening, they think it's fair game for their guys to do it.
