  Why would home gardeners optimize for yield and cost effectiveness? They can't deploy automation or economies of scale.

  You garden at home because you enjoy the flavor, freshness, and variety. Those are the perks. Miss me with those mealy, flavorless grocery store tomatoes.

  Much better for a science district IMO. Look at all those mountains

  I've only ever seen an executive be punished for one thing: bad mouthing the company. Anything else they skate on. Accountability and consequences are for the peons.

  Honestly this is peak feels and vibes based managements. Buncha dipshits throwing all the data out the window because they're lonely and want someone to lord it over.

  Dude you can describe anything this way to make it sound boring, but that doesn't even get close to reality and I think you know that deep down. I don't even like sports and this is a senselessly reductive way of framing the discussion.

  It's not that they're for the kids, it's that each handful costs one child. Eggs are expensive.

  Just get a scale and weigh your flour. Much more consistent results. 120 grams per cup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Read Xbox chief Phil Spencer’s memo welcoming Activision Blizzard employees to Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Do people still like the shambling husk that is Blizzard at this point? I've been playing their games since Rock N' Roll Racing and they're not even close to the same company anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Read Xbox chief Phil Spencer’s memo welcoming Activision Blizzard employees to Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Let them eat each other. I'll be over here playing indie games with actual depth, real care, still getting updates for free years down the line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is It Still Worth Going to the Movies?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is for me. We have assigned seating, huge comfy seats, and it's just ... a whole thing. Movies at home don't compare for me.

  Why? The CCP is a defacto stakeholder in all Chinese companies. No fucking way am I installing anything they control.

  Really? I thought he nailed it too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Idris Elba: Actors in video games like Phantom Liberty is 'sign of the times'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sean Bean also voices most of Civ 6 and it's glorious. Say what you will about it from a mechanical perspective but I can't find fault with his voice lines. He gets to read some of the greatest quotations from history and for the most part he nails it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capcom President Thinks Game Prices Are 'Too Low' - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Consumers don't set prices and if he can't convince people his games are worth more, that's on Capcom's marketing team.

  This just smacks of "we've tried nothing and nothing is working."

  Doesn't Banksy's entire schtick hang on "helping himself" to a "canvas?"

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is there so much hate against children here?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  "I hate an entire group of human beings based solely on factors mostly out of their control and expect to be respected for this," is certainly an interesting point of view.

  By all means stay as far away from kids as possible and never have any. I for one will never pressure you on that front; much the opposite, in fact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LTT: What do we do now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  According to Brown University, the rate of incidence for false accusations of sexual harassment hovers between 2 and 10%. Citations are available in the article.

  So yeah, people lie, but it's probably nowhere near what you're thinking. Consider the shit storm that making accusations against a company like LTT unleash. For most people, it won't be worth it. Some unknown amount of social media clout is not worth an unending stream of bile and death threats as well as the unknown effect on future employment prospects.

  I understand the desire to reserve judgment, but I think whistleblowers like this should be treated with an open mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LTT: What do we do now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  LTT is Linus Tech Tips, originally a YT channel where Linus and others discussed technology products, particularly pc gaming hardware. They got kinda big, and became a whole tech media company.

  Madison was a former employee of the company who alleges that LTT leadership created a hostile work environment for her. Her accusations paint the company as filled with unempathetic tech bros who demand way too much productivity out of staff. Most seriously, there were accusations of sexual harassment by different team members, though not Linus himself that I'm aware of. She has a social media thread where she describes these accusations in detail and depth. If true they are very damning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Republican electoral fortunes rely on the Evangelical Christian vote. Without them, they lose most of the time. But in the 70s, some Republican strategist realized they could use them to win, so this happened. It's a worthwhile read.
