Nah. So long they remain the largest comoanies in tech, the FAANG companies have an endless buffet of overconfident and naive new grads to feast on. Entitled kids who will excitedly walk through the door and proudly display their comoany golf shirts to anyone they can trap in a corner while explaining how they're remaking and reinventing ways to squeeze and manipulate customers in the name of shareholder value.

YouTube has been an alt-right pipeline for a very long time now. If you so much as smell right-leaning content in the next room, it wilk start serving you truck loads of right wing and alt-right recommendations.

The canon is anything that appears in the games. There are clear timelines between many of the games, asserted within the game text or game subtext.

Producers have gone on record echoing what's states in the HH, both before and after it was published.

Do not mistake the canon for something the producers and designers feel in any way bound by. That's not what the term means when discussing media.

In most countries you need to be a party member to engage in internal party politics. The idea that the heneral public makes direct choices for private political organizations is, honestly, kind of weird.

But also, which states require you to be an actual card-carrying member to participate in the primary? I was under the impression that most merely required that you register with the electoral office as a party supporter.

Being a "registered X" is very different from being "a member of X". Members get to do things like go to convemtions where party policy is discussed and voted on. Members get to vie for party nomination. They're part of the internal machinery of the party.

Yhey're not just voters with a party banner.

"Never trust other people," they say. I'm not sure I shpypd believe them, though.

Are we playing the "socialism and communism are different things" game today? Because that'snnever fun.

Authoritarians aren't communists. They're just appropriating the term.

I can't believe they spelled his name right for once.

If it's still 9 months away, there's no real reason to announce it publicly before the Christmas season. The fact that the original Switch's sales are flagging is not a reason to announce, since it's not launching in time for the holidays. Its announcement isn't going to spurr Switch 1 sales.

When it's announces will be entirely deoendent on when retailers need to know launch details. Once it's outside of Nintendo, they'll have to announce things publicly or risk losing control over the narrative.

"The government needs to stop people from doing a capitalism, but it had better not stop anyone from doing a capitalism, that would be tyranny."

It's great for gaslighting people into thinking they don't know what a bicycle looks like!

It's not "widely misunderstood", it's been widely hyped by the people actively selling it. The tech bros are pumping and dumping it, just like with every other tech panacea.

It's not the public, it's the snake oil salesmen.
