Welcome to 1995.

They're guilty, they knew it and still pushed forwards with bad policies. They don't provide ANYTHING that can't be replicated quickly of from a competitor. Sick the dogs on them and let the lawyers feast. Maybe a class action AI is the correct method ? /s

This is the GAME that made PC gaming. I'm still running/making Doom/Doom2 wads and pk3 at 57. Just finished a new map by a 15 year old that wasn't born when the game was made. I'd say it had an impact on the WORLD. I'd be happy with the soundtrack as a requiem.

Might as well spread the joy around developing challengers (not like that!). It's not like the prime mover in New Space is going to need any part of NASA's whopping $40b annual budget.

Said "Billionaires" will spend far more $$$ in political "donations" to avoid the 1 time tax. Just pay 10% on your earnings like the rest of us.

Selling your body scans as a VR skin. AI enhanced, naturally.

Radar O'Reilly radioed in...He wants his Korean era military issue glasses back. He left them on your mom's nightstand.

Another over reaction based on politics and parent apathy. Rather than be involved in your kids life and supervise the online issues, we'll just block ALL online activity. Scientist have been convinced that youth brains were being "rewired" but have failed to find any proof. It's not the electronic activity that is hurting them, its' the LACK of responsible social interaction. They grow up lacking a conscience or empathy because they never see other "real" people or suffer consequences for their bad interactions.

I miss BANGG!

For the young folks...Us ancients would pack up our rigs, and drive to some shitty venue and shoot the F out of each other in the conference room. Standing up and pointing at the guy you just head shot, shouting "BOOM" is way more fun socially.

*Bay Area Network Gaming Group !

We're going to Mars. This is unstoppable money now. They raised three years of NASA budget in one day, becoming worth more as a company than the accumulated total budget of NASA since inception, adjusted for inflation.

I still have my Thomas Guides!

Also, frist psot. Been a long time since the last one..

Super El Niño, AMOC shutting down. Mauna Loa CO2 shutting down reporting 432 PPM before we shut them up. The mighty Colorado river died. We drank it up. India has been over 95F for months, and parts are becoming uninhabitable reaching 114F.

Dinosaurs had 165 million years. Sea turtles 260 million. Genus Homo, 2 million. Sentience may be self defeating, which solves the Fermi Paradox.

All those great corporations and TexA$$ still makes less than half the money California does. Having lots of large corporations just means your politicians are giving out tax breaks on your dime. Those same corporations will move in 2 years to where the NEXT tax break is. The Mega-Corps are extra-national moving assets around to avoid taxes...Apple comes to mind. They paid Ireland so little the EU complained..

(No. I'm not congratulating you on that. I'm wafting the stench away. You can smell San Fran-Shit-N-Go from Yuma now.)

No that's Wellton you are smelling. SF smells like fish not cow shit.

Large corporations are leeches not contributors. The only true measure is GDP. California's is approximately TWICE what Texas claims. In fact it takes Texas AND New York to beat California. If we could ensure these corporations actually paid taxes things might even out.
