Do they rip the worst farts or am I just telling on myself that pizza rolls give me room-clearing war crimes-level gas bombs?

I work with a “high powered CEO”. These parasites treat golfing, going to dinner, flying on private jets as “working”.

- Comment on Anon visits a bookstore 1 week ago:
Around 2010, I worked for a company where one project was to increase the social profile of our company. We hired a marketing company to help us improve how our CTO, CEO, CFO, all the C-level folks looked to the public. Pretty much, throwing money to make these people get famous, so the company to could make money from all the news.
A year later, CFO was on talk shows discussing his new book, which was a NYT best seller. The book was garbage and full of content scraped from a dozen other “thought leaders”.
The thought leader circlejerk where hundreds of them have ghost writers write their shit, all of them tell the same 10 stories, all of them quote each other, all of them end up as NYT best sellers because some thought leader friend wanted to do the same so they inflate the sales.

Not me! I got Kingdom Come for either under $5 or free last year.
So I expect to get the sequel at the same price in about six years.
- Comment on Wonder Woman Game is "Years Away From Release" As Warner Bros. Gaming Division Struggles 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for the write up!
Wonder woman is, in my opinion, an odd choice for a video game. I think it could be really good, and her rope would translate well to video game mechanics, but it doesn’t feel like Wonder Womans time to shine right now
Id argue that I felt the same about Batman not being translatable to a game during the 2000s. Video games based on comics were absolutely awful. Superman 64 was a nightmare, and Batman games were beat-em-ups or platformers.
But really smart creatives made the Arkham series work. So I’m optimistic that in the hands of strong visionaries, it’s absolutely possible.
Now, do I think WB has the capacity to make a good Wonder Woman game? Haha nope. Not after what they’ve shown in the last few years.

I have lost my job to wider cuts a few times myself and on reflection, I think I prefer being “aligned” or “realigned” inasmuch as it makes me feel like a cool laser satellite. But I am not immune to the frictive charms of being “restructured”, which makes me feel like a Transformer
I absolutely love the comments on RPS. It’s hits like these which makes me keep coming back.

- Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic? 3 weeks ago:
People who are so used to getting everyone to stop what they’re doing get upset when they aren’t the center of attention.

Me, as a American: Huh, we just set up camps in Guantanamo Bay to pick up immigrants? That’s fucked up.
Also Me, as a American: China does some shit with the uyghu? That’s fucked up.

Also me, as a American: openAI stole art. Wow.
Also me, as a American: Deepsink stole from OpenAI? Hilarious.

I was going to suggest community tagging. But then I remembered that’s how Steam works and their game tags are so stupid. So many “souls like” but not really.

Yeah. If they die, you can sell the tombstone for money.
- Comment on I am in the US and its gotten very political but as pretty much a peon do I just tune the stuff out thinking its fear mongering? Or should I closely pay attention to it? 3 weeks ago:
Pretty much.
Every person who was surprised that “Biden isn’t running?” During the votes is part of the problem of why Trump got re-elected.

I used to say I wanted to test an idea, open up a terminal, run some basic commands like ls and grep. Then ask them to do a restart so none of my tests would “cause a conflict”.
Works constantly.

- Comment on Putting the die in diet 3 weeks ago:
I laughed way too hard at this.
I love wine, but it is a depressant, and without a more normal amount of food to help blunt the effects of alcohol, I think I was experiencing a little bit of that “sad drunk girl crying in the bathroom” syndrome many of us observed (or experienced, no judgment!) in college.

- Comment on Mmm kale 3 weeks ago:
Kale is a lot tougher. I honestly prefer kale stir fry over cabbage stir fry and in salads.
Also kale chips.
Unfortunately, kale has become a super food so it’s been kinda expensive.
