When I was right out of college, I got a contract. The contract was for 1/3 of the wages a person with that job would get, and zero benefits! Thing is... for many people in my family it was still the most money they had ever seen, afte

Microsoft need to be sued again so they resume making a good windows version again. When I was on Win8 I was hoping Win10 would make me want to get rid of it. Instead it made me want to go back to Win7 (or rather, go Win7 for the first time

I disagree on that. USA accused Taliban of sheltering Bin Laden, and invaded afghanistan because Taliban was the government. Now USA is leaving, and Taliban is again the government... to me this feels more like USA invaded, occupied for 20

Car and crazy things: in Brazil during our last hyperinflation period, people literally bought cars as an investment, because often used car prices were just slightly behind a new car price, while other methods of investment had literally l

In our case elections work by having two "rounds", in the first one the top 2 candidates go to the second round, and then people vote for one or the other. This means that the "vote division" thing is not really an issu

I am from Brazil, and once there was a Green Party candidate with a real shot at presidential elections, she ended in third, because the candidate that ended being in second made a heavy campaign asking people to vote for him and not "

The bill is also about "digital assets" and previously even in-game currency has been ruled as such (for example World of Warcraft gold, Second Life currency to buy land, etc...). It also may apply to other non-crypto digital mone

I was thinking these days, that when I was a kid some 20 years ago, people were all the rage against paper, because you had to cut trees and whatnot, everything was switching to plastic so you could "save the trees" I still wonder

The guy that made the accusations was her former boyfriend, and seemly not a gamer. Around that time people were also upset with other journalists, the Quinnspiracy thing became just the straw that broke the camel back, and gamers weren&#x2

That wasn't what Gamergate was about at all. What started it was first Doritogate, and later the Zoey Quinn and Anna Anthropy Business (both cases of women getting lackluster or bad games reviewed just because they had some kind of rel

While looking for a job in my country I saw a company EXPLICITLY advertise they wanted to hire a woman for a coder job, and men shouldn't apply. This is outright illegal here, so I sent anonymously a screenshot of that to our governmen

I am a fan of city building games, and one thing that greatly annoys me is the fact that all of them use the USA-only model of "Euclidean" zoning (named after Euclid, Ohio, that sued on the supreme court to be allowed to implement

Or see the case of the installer on Myth 2, that you could also say the cost was infinite, since the but on the installer made the company litearlly go bankrupt and get purchased by Microsoft.

There is also the thing with the judge that judged his first case, claiming he HAD to give Epstein a deal, because he was "warned" that Epstein "belonged" to intelligence.

I am not from US, but reading this makes me feel US is very, VERY vulnerable. They made it so they are more dependant on logistics than any army already is, meaning if they ever got in a war against peers (China, Russia, etc...), USA could

To add to that there is also outright commercial corruption too. For example a lot of governments made policy based on nutrition research on the US that later was found out to be fraudulent and corrupt, it caused a great damage to nutrition

Also I have a very strong impression Legend of Mana for PC is... emulated. It has the same slowndowns it used to have on PSX, but somehow, worse, the game runs quite poorly during combat, stuttering when there is any new sprite on the scree

Where I live piracy is people on the street selling media with pirated content (currently, DVD-R and all... but there was a time when it was diskette or even tape too). Sometimes they sell it for MORE than the original, so why people buy t
