Maybe Goldman Sachs. Manipulation of many markets, both contributed to and profited from the 2008 crash. Which they paid a $550mil settlement for when they’re like a $100bil company. Imagine making $50k a year, committing fraud (“misleading its investors”) at a national scale affecting millions, and getting fined $250.

Also manipulation of gas prices, food supply/prices, insider trading, they’re just the freaking worst.

Valheim is one of the better in the genre. Idk why but the building is so satisfying!

A lovely lady behind the Wendy’s

Scrolled through a ton of comments but honestly this sums it all up for me. Lemmy isn’t large enough to support niche memes and content.

You should really talk to HR. If you’re super duper non-confrontational, I see maybe two other options:

• Chastise Ann for not having your back. Make her tell Ned to stop being a creep

• Talk to Ned’s boss informally and say Ned has made uncomfortable comments/advances.

I’ve only read Cradle, the other stuff is as good? What should be next?

A fellow man of culture I see

I had to look this up, didn’t know about Bowie. He had underage groupies, at least as young as 15 (Lori Mattix). Apparently she remembers that time fondly, but today we would rightly call it coercion and pedophilia. She was treated kindly, probably given all the drugs she “wanted”, but that’s still a child.

There’s a counter argument about how later in life, he refused a kissing scene between him and Jennifer Connelly during Labyrinthe, and that shows he understands the age gap is wrong.

I don’t regularly listen to David Bowie. I can sometimes separate the art from artist, but I’m now gonna have trouble knowing he was having sex with (raping) a 15 year old girl.

Eric Clapton is super racist, John Lennon abandoned his kid.

As a counterpoint, I like it in video games for the same irl reason: it saves time.

I do love games where it feels alive when traveling on foot/horse/etc. but I would rather fast travel if I’ve already explored it, generally speaking.

I appreciate you giving an actual answer.

I don’t care for that Adolf guy one bit, such foul language!

Yo what the fuck
