He’s obviously a terrible human being, I think you have to be to be a wildly successful CEO.

But those are the people who are best at running companies. I wouldn’t be good at it, because I’m not a piece of shit


That entirely depends on your expectations of a company CEO

I can’t think of a company that wouldn’t hire someone with this kind of stock performance over 30 years.

The issue is really that consumers just keep spending money on things that they hate.

If they didnt do that, Bobby would have been gone a long long time ago



I’ve never played deep rock galactic. It very well could be the exception that proves the rule.

Feeling punished for not playing, and feeling like a company is trying to manipulate me with psychological tricks to make me play their game is why I don’t play games with battlepasses.

I didn’t mind Diablo iii’s seasons journey at all, and that had rewards that were missable. But Diablo iv has like 90 levels, it costs money and you have to do stupid shit like kill world bosses 15 times with them being on a timer.

I’m not going to set a fucking alarm to log into a video game. I play games on my schedule, not the developers.

It sounds like deep rock has a much more sane system. Maybe I’ll give it a try.


I hate battlepasses

Nothing demotivates me more than a game with a battlepass. Really disappointed, I played and somewhat enjoyed the campaign, then totally lost interest at around level 20 in the first season.

Haven’t picked up the game in a long time, and it’s all because having a battlepass just kills the game for me.

It turns the game into completing the battlepass instead of just playing the game as I normally would. Ignoring the battlepass doesn’t work for me, because I know it’s there.

It triggers FOMO, but instead of making me want to play to not miss out, it makes me not want to play at all because I know completing battlepasses for me is highly unlikely



I mean, that doesn’t make the point any less of a good one.

I tell my kids not to use drugs or drink all the time. Guess what I do?



Just abandon social media, I cannot think of a single positive thing that could possibly come close to outweighing the incredible harm it can cause us, collectively and individually


That seems like either I’m 100% satisfied with my iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I have reached my peak cell phone feature set, or the iPhone 15 just is not very enticing of a purchase, especially considering the considerable cost.

Does this have anything to worry consumers about in cold climates where cars could accumulate snow and road salt on them, and then say - park the car in the garage where it all melts into salt water?

Did any other makes of electric vehicles also burst into flames in Florida?
