"Go big or go home!" The CEO says as they fire 70% of their staff and now have to take a vacation to recharge at their summer beach house. His major concern? His severance package is only $3 million when his last place gave him $12 million. But this next coke-fueled idea will absolutely get them back to the top!

Thank you! Felt like I was I playing a different game than everyone else.

Everyone mocked Starfield's Neon for being Discount Cyberpunk. But at least they played it as straight as they could. Like, I could believe people live there and had a life.

It felt like Outer Worlds kept trying to make jokes about how cruel capitalism is versus tell a real story. Like, "Oh boy time to go increase shareholder value!" Or "I love Space nuts. I have to say that or I die." Like wtf, where's the subtlety?

It's not Borderlands 3 bad, no where near it. But it's pretty bad.

I laughed way too hard at this.

Bro I know people like this. The JD Vances who are so obnoxious but only in the room because of some political BS. And we absolutely leave them out of the real discussion.

I wish I could be such a PoS where I join a company, propose a massive investment into something, see it's failure and firing a bunch of staff, then bounce with a nice severance package to join a new company to repeat that over and over again.

My first taste of pure evil capitalism was when my fast food job in college was forcing everyone to switch to getting a "cash card" rather than a check. That card had a $0.25 fee every time you used it.

I don't know if it still exists or if sane politicians told companies that shit was illegal.

Why? She needed a latte, and because she suffers from poor choices, she can now get a $8 latte that will cost $219 to pay back!

I identify as a man and accidentally went into the women's bathroom at the supermarket.

It smelled like blood, tampons on the floor, and there was a woman crying in the stall.

I'll take the piss floors.

Don't worry! Once all the H-1B visas get relaxed, we can push even MORE straight white men out!

We saw a man propose to his wife in a cute way. There was a person playing music and he got on his knees. She said yes and people were being supportive.

Then I got down on my knee and proposed to my wife (again). My wife said no and walked away.

I then quietly left the area to the awkward strangers, turned the corner to find my wife laughing at me.

Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg said his decision to reduce his team’s weekly hours working on WordPress by 99% , from 4,000 hours to 45 hours, was designed to pressure WP Engine to drop its lawsuit against Mullenweg and Automattic

“They don’t actually make WordPress. They just resell it,” Mullenweg told Computerworld Friday evening. “If what they are reselling is no longer getting all of the free updates, they have less stuff to sell.”

“It doesn’t make sense for Automattic to pay people to work on all of these things,” he said. “We are under attack and we are circling the wagons. Our number one goal is for WP Engine to drop their expensive lawsuits against me and Automattic.”
