Maybe Goldman Sachs. Manipulation of many markets, both contributed to and profited from the 2008 crash. Which they paid a $550mil settlement for when they’re like a $100bil company. Imagine making $50k a year, committing fraud (“misleading its investors”) at a national scale affecting millions, and getting fined $250.

Also manipulation of gas prices, food supply/prices, insider trading, they’re just the freaking worst.

An unexceptional game? That game was awesome. All the fluidity of the Arkham games but LotR themed. Just don’t look too closely at the lore lol it’s not canon.

Me too!

Durak is top tier, Kharjo is the best. I don’t know half of these but generally great list lol

My teammate must know they’re trash, all I said was “kys” and “I’ll r*pe your mom if you die again” this is literally 1984

Damn I feel that

This sub is called “mildly infuriating”, not “holy shit I’m out of my mind angry at this”

The most surprising thing I read on this thread

MVP for direct link, thank you 🙏

Valheim is one of the better in the genre. Idk why but the building is so satisfying!

Yeah, I’ve gotten a lot from free leech and then just leave it running all the time to get points for other books.

Amazed no one has mentioned MyAnonamouse. They have open sign ups pretty regularly, the best private tracker I’ve ever seen. Great for ebook and audiobooks both.

It’s supposed to represent Ben Kenobi from the original star wars I think. Or more generally, a wizard-y sage robe.

Edit: it’s also just a meme, with its own understood meaning.

A lovely lady behind the Wendy’s

Scrolled through a ton of comments but honestly this sums it all up for me. Lemmy isn’t large enough to support niche memes and content.

You should really talk to HR. If you’re super duper non-confrontational, I see maybe two other options:

• Chastise Ann for not having your back. Make her tell Ned to stop being a creep

• Talk to Ned’s boss informally and say Ned has made uncomfortable comments/advances.

I had to look this up, didn’t know about Bowie. He had underage groupies, at least as young as 15 (Lori Mattix). Apparently she remembers that time fondly, but today we would rightly call it coercion and pedophilia. She was treated kindly, probably given all the drugs she “wanted”, but that’s still a child.

There’s a counter argument about how later in life, he refused a kissing scene between him and Jennifer Connelly during Labyrinthe, and that shows he understands the age gap is wrong.

I don’t regularly listen to David Bowie. I can sometimes separate the art from artist, but I’m now gonna have trouble knowing he was having sex with (raping) a 15 year old girl.

Eric Clapton is super racist, John Lennon abandoned his kid.

As a counterpoint, I like it in video games for the same irl reason: it saves time.

I do love games where it feels alive when traveling on foot/horse/etc. but I would rather fast travel if I’ve already explored it, generally speaking.

I don’t think it needs to be two separate queues, just matchmaking could add it as a preference.
