my bet is that this is referencing the tens of Rockstar workers who were fired when about to unionise. happened a few months ago

bet the lawyer is pleased with themself

with thirty percent of the populace voting for him

thank you for this thoughtful comment. i was scrolling, hoping in vain for someone to bring up reproducibility, or more specifically, HARCing

thank you for your thoughtful response, and for not being inflammatory. have a good one

I’m glad you had a nice time. i wasn’t there, so i can’t speak on the conversations you had. i do think that the US government wouldn’t pay for people to go abroad if it wasn’t getting something out of the deal, but maybe you stuck it to the man and weakened the US empire’s grip

we had a similar thing with Kingdom Hearts. my childminder didnt have a memory card for the ps2, so our whole experience of the game for months was the destiny islands, the tutorial. we loved it. theres no videogame place im more attached to. and when we finally got a memory card, and had to het my childminder to beat the introductory boss, the whole game opened up. amazing.

• fff.org tourism is nice for the tourist. sounds more like neo-colonialism to me. I’m glar you had a nice time

I’ve thought for a xouple of minutes, and my best idea is Minecraft. not that they accidentally made it fun, but i think they set out to make a survival game with crafting, and accidentally made a sandbox for creations of boundless imagination.

thanks for your perspective!

to be clear, i don’t think it’s necessarily a problem for everyone in the city, i guess i was exaggerating. but for the people who live right next to a stadium thoroughfare, or right outside a venue, i imagine it can be denilitating. any idea if that was the case in 2012, one way or the other?

i sincerely hope my nearest city never has to host a world cup, an olympics, a eurovision, or anything similarly disruptive. even something like a marathon can make it very difficult to get around, and all the tourism overwhelms waste disposal. basically means I’d have to stay home all day. i can only imagine what 2 weeks straight would do to me
