I think it’s so weird how Valve announced this game.

“Hey, this is Counter Strike 2, over twenty years in the making. Let’s start by explaining volumetric smoke grenades.”

Valve used to be able to harness the power of hype for its games, not treat them like upgrades or patches.

Been somewhat better since quitting Reddit. But shit, I’ve been busy. Wife and baby have been sick all week, while I’ve been strangely fine, trying to support them and wearing myself out in the process.

Monday I’ll be working remote while watching baby, while the wife tries.to return to work…wish me luck

There are a couple of fantastic episodes sprinkled in there though. One is like a Black Mirror episode with Mulder and Scully being chased by a malevolent AI. There are a few that seem like they came straight out of the 90s monster of the week episodes too.

That’s all they could come up with?

Man, I used to moderate small and medium-sized subreddits, and all we really wanted was to be able to audit spoof accounts and to be able to shut down report spamming. Why? Because users harass moderators, that’s why. And reddit would always play this game of promising new mod tools and never delivering. And now, this is what they give. Unreal. A fucking trophy.

What about IPO shares? What about discounts or credits for reddit services? What about a simple thank you for cleaning up their site?

Shit man, I get it. I wish people wouldn’t … But it’s hard not to feel hopeless sometimes.

I see this being treated as good news, and in some ways it is a relief to not see RTF files anymore, but the fact that the most popular operating system in the world now no longer has a free word processor included isn’t great when you consider that Microsoft Word is a separate expense. They could have done the work to make a better free word processor but they decided to just scrap it instead. That is some Google shit.

There is a huge opportunity in the US for unions to return. The time is right and the conditions are right. It’s just a matter of who will leap to claim it.

• Many humans reported an issue where their children would cry in the middle of the night. This has been fixed.

• Fixed many other issues that were preventing a full night’s sleep.

Temu, Shein, Alibaba and even Amazon are full of unsafe products not manufactured under sufficient quality standards.

Recently we bought some plates for a party that had gold metallic polka dots on them. I was able to use a plastic fork to scrape off these polka dots. People were eating cake off these plates. The metallic paint was going into people’s mouths.

Also, many of these products are only designed to last for a short time before they break, so we are literally filling landfills with this plastic junk we get sent over to us from China by the shipping container load.
