I agree, but that’s not how conservatives work, we’re all fucked, and this is fucking hilarious. We need that humor until we can’t share it anymore without our hands being cut off

Two so far.
Remember, they have discovered 42 plots against Hitler.
And they didn’t have nearly as sophisticated means of communication that time.

It’s my favorite meme template by far. I’d been considering posting this for a while, but today it dawned on me that this was the appropriate time to make it.

That’s the part I don’t understand, what are you going to do with bricks in space???
- Comment on What am I supposed to do with all this blood now? 2 weeks ago:
So where are they making these bricks? In space? Why do you need bricks… In space?
It would take effort and time, but surely there are far more efficient ways to make bricks on like Mars considering the vast amount of water that’s been discovered.

I had to do it, and got so goddamn frustrated with it, I just switch to using my PS5 controller. The Xboxes were the best, but no longer.

- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 4 weeks ago:
And then, compare it to No Man’s Sky, who gave us lofty expectations, failed to deliver on launch, but actually kept with it despite no new revenue flowing into the game from existing buyers. And now we have something incredible. We have a universe that is unfathomably large. We have multiplayer, we have all sorts of events and quests. Freighters! You can piece together your own ships now.
I hope we can eventually build space stations or pilot Capital Ships. No Man’s Sky came out in 2016. In 8 years it has done far more than SC has done with far less of a budget.
Do I wish we could have everything that Roberts promised? Sure. But I also have a bridge to sell that you can at least walk over.

I’m divorcing. I will have to do that for 5ish years.
Not remotely enthusiastic about that, but at least I can afford it.
The real evaluation I did is discovering just how fucked marriage is.
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave 4 weeks ago:
That one sounds plausible, but I can’t imagine that property taxes are so large in Seattle that they would force their employees back. Seems like a good way to lose that tax benefit
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave 4 weeks ago:
Risk means sometimes shit goes south. I’ve seen a lot of shit not going south.
Credit Suisse folded, Archeagos folded. The whole Evergrande thing in Chinaa. But I think that’s it in recent history
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, something stupid like 25 buildings, and they payed some stupid high price per sqft too.
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave 4 weeks ago:
Not directly but any big company that has any form of corporate retirement benefit has it through private equity. I highly doubt any of it is publicly traded. But Amazon itself owns 25 buildings in the South Lake Union area of Seattle.

- Comment on Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave 4 weeks ago:
I’m not sure which locations they are forcing employees back to, but Amazon itself isn’t likely paying rent, they do own some buildings. That is an investment they use in their listed assets.
What’s happening is that other businesses that do rent building space aren’t getting enough revenue due to decreased traffic (think the corner coffee shop that had a steady stream of regulars every morning but now doesn’t). This causes them to leave, driving up the rent of other renters, and you get a “mortgage backed security like” crisis. Amazon doesn’t give two shits about the businesses that leave, or what they pay in rent - they care that their building value grows. Can’t do that if real estate is vacating in the nearby area.
Which to that I say: good, fuck em
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave 4 weeks ago:
No. They invest in funds that own buildings that rent to small businesses.
They need businesses to stay so they can charge them rent. The Amazon owned buildings then maintain and grow their value with inflation.
Think about inflation - who does it benefit? Only property owners.

Good lord if that ain’t the truth.
It has every opportunity to be good, but I can’t even navigate the goddamn menus, let alone step into my ship.
Forget about using something other than a mouse and keyboard too, it just won’t work.
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave 4 weeks ago:
Man, there are people who will argue until they are blue in the face that the purpose is not real estate.
The “only” evidence I can provide is that the values of proximal commercial properties is rapidly losing value because the workforce that provided business to those properties is no longer there. And just because the properties have investments made by the company doesn’t mean they own them outright (despite the value tying into their businesses net worth).
Of course they would lie about this. It doesn’t benefit the real estate owners and the business to publicly share that investments are losing value because of natural economics. The entire financing industry is based on lies to begin with, can’t change that now (/s).
