That said, it cost 300 million to makes and 5 years to develop. Getting a return in the billions after 10 years is expected, otherwise they might as well save all that time and energy, and massive financial risk, and just buy conservative ETFs with that 300 million and sit at the beach.

Hopefully neither, and they’ll arrest the organizers/pimps/etc.

sex workers and clients should be the lowest priority.

Are Johns (and sex workers) even worth prosecuting? I think the DOJ is interested in a organized prostitution ring and it’s leaders, involved in conspiracy and money laundering, not a few dudes paying for (adult) sex.

I don’t think they’ll waste their time.

Their valuation get downgraded one more time and he loses his free pre check membership.

Or Saudi or Qatari slave state money.

People are going to critique titles. Welcome to life. Life is tough. I get it.

It’s not a big deal. But it’s ok to think the name is stupid, and that I’m not gonna use it if I think it’s stupid.

My company got rid of their main office and we are never going back to full in-office. And it’s one of the reasons I’m not looking at offers from other companies. I’m happy, and my team is happy.

Plaster, mostly.

Would great if they spent all money making games instead of buying studios that pump out annual rehashes.

I might call that one person a monster, regardless of their race. Not sure what you’re getting at.

This is good for GME lol

If someone breaks into my home, burns it down, kills my family, rapes my mother I’m gonna call them a piece of shit. A monster. Whatever. Don’t be a piece of shit, don’t get called one.

Full disclosure: I don’t use the term, because I’m not a victim of this war. But I wouldn’t blame anyone who is.

I agree. And I don’t use the term. But I’d imagine if they were lobbing missiles at my apartment building for years, I’d see why there’s a resemblance to an unrelenting brutal force that represents pure evil in a fantasy book. And ya I’d be less worried about the concerns you raise. I’d prefer people on the internet, commenting from the safety of their new iPads, not use the term. It’s a bad look, and it definitely can have negative affect sun the future. The language we use matters. But I’d never fault a Ukrainian fighting for their lives, and suffering, for doing so.

Dehumanizing sure. Still not racist. I don’t use the term myself. Maybe I would if I was being invaded by rapists and torturous scumbags. Just don’t agree with the sentiment that’s it’s automatically racist.

There’s a video of him talking to the general a few hours ago, after he took over the city. And it seems they all acknowledge the bus as real.

This doesn’t sound like a civil war. This sounds like a shake up at most.

Comparing brutal invaders to storybook villains isn’t racist. Unless someone is talking about civilians and not just military forces I don’t see how it’s racist.

Yes I was. I mentioned Russia was involved in Syria and got banned. It was the only comment I made in that place. It’s ok, you sit have to believe you joined a weirdo cycle jerk. I don’t mind.

That community will ban anyone who questions their Christi fascist oligarchy. It’s weird how a bunch of pretend communists can worship the an extreme right wing, genocidal, theocracy ran by oil tycoons who run around in yachts while the working class is thrown to meat grinder.
