I think it's more that twitch sells itself as a gaming platform but it's honestly closer to chaturbate than a gaming site. Sure you can see gaming there, but it's not what dominates and is pushed by the platform.

Everyone who's candidate loses says this every single election, regardless of party. And the electoral college was a deliberate concession to the sparsely populated states where all the food is grown, as is the Senate. Because America

Maybe what we need are unions. I realize it's hard to do with H1Bs, contractors, remote work, and offshoring. But maybe we should try anyway? One could be tempted to think we're overpaid or have it too good as is, but we're b

Why would they IPO? They're owned by Advance Publications, which is owned by the Newhouse family. They're not an independent company and haven't been since 2011.

Kind of off topic... but after ~20 years of using *nix, the the graphic in the background finally explained to me why it's called the "shell". Mind blown.

Am I the only one wondering why they're allowed to circumvent the $250K cap like this? Presumably there's a cap for a reason, and presumably it's to protect ordinary Americans who rarely have $250K in assets, and not rich peo

Sometimes they're ordered to and it's not their call. I'm not saying this is the case here, but here's a hilariously well documented instance: https://ymeskhout.substack.com/p/sorry-for-arresting-you

The only interesting thing I know about Aborigines is they're the only known people who didn't invent the bow and arrow. As a hobbyist archer this is fascinating to me. They apparently didn't need it, as they're still ar
