Whenever I encounter someone complaining about "spoiled athletes demanding more money" I always ask them how much they think the owner is making.

It never fails that their brain kind of shuts off for a second before rebooting and realizing that one owner is easily raking in what ten or twelve top-tier players make per year.

Owners have never been your friend. That shit MIGHT have been applicable when the owner was the local used car magnate and said used car was a Model T. It hasn't been the case in my lifetime, or likely anyone reading this.

This is what happens when you allow absolute pedants to make calls. Between this and the idiot calls about home plate "blocking" it's clear someone in NY is more concerned with rulebook masturbation than they are with making sense.

Every single ump needs to be fired as a warning to the new hires.

Or they can stop letting a hammered Angel Hernandez make calls from New York.

My grandparent's house was $10,000 in 1959.

When my grandfather passed we sold it for close to $300,000. In a shitty small town in Texas.

This is what happens when housing is sold as an investment and not a place to live.

Here in Texas you'll see job posts from one clearly triggered right-wing small business owner paying $7.25 an hour, talking about how if you're working there you're WORKING there followed by a list of like 400 things you'll be doing.

This will be next to a job post from an actually sane individual that's paying more than twice as much for 1/4th of the effort, and you're still being overworked.

They don't want employees, they want indentured servants.

...are... you... fucking trolling?

Do you not know what a port is? Are you not aware that numerous modern game engines don't even need to be ported, they just run on multiple platforms?

Macs being ARM based has FUCKING NOTHING TO DO with there being few games for the platform.

Apple has never courted game developers. They have never been about absolute gaming power. They're about developers, media production, and general use audiences. They do not build gaming computers. Any gaming capability is ancillary to their actual business model.

If a developer doesn't see a potential ROI on porting a game to Apple silicon, they won't. It's that simple.

You mean "a response I agree with."

And by "nuance" you mean "PEOPLE THAT USE THE N WORD REGULARLY!"

This is and always has been semantic bullshit.

There is no fucking paradox of intolerance.

Because you do not "tolerate" the violence that intolerance leads to, you ALLOW it.

Shooting a fucking Nazi in the face isn't intolerance. It's basic preventative maintenance for democracy.

THIS GUY IS A RIGHT-WING TROLL, JUST CHECK THE POST HISTORY.
