    You should read some memoires from higher-ups in the military instead of trying to lecture people about something you have no experience with. Military leaders will say they don't …

    I think some of it is still relevant, like all the money being wasted buying unnecessary equipment during war time. From what I read in memoires written by generals that retired mo…

    > The only thing NFTs seem to offer is an extra middleman who can make money off of these transactions. Even that isn't new. Valve has been taking a 30% cut of everything sold on t…

    I think NFTs are mostly a scam, but I could see people showing them off in some sort of centralized "gallery" type of game. It'd be like how people show off their islands in Animal…

    At this point I think the cars are popular because it's considered a cool status symbol, not because it's any good. I've got a co-worker who bought a Tesla and kept having issues w…

    It wasn't even just that dealership, it was every Model 3 shipped during a certain time period. Back when it was happening, there were posts about it on the Tesla subreddit. Nobody…

    It would have taken you less time to throw the first sentence into Google and find the source than it would have taken you to write your snarky comment. https://swprs.org/professor…

    These would have been nice earlier. They've been out of stock for a long time, and I know people who had to use up their vacation days waiting for them to come back in stock becaus…

    I think the purpose of the list is much more mundane, and it's just another record they're keeping for compliance reasons. Employee's religious information is private information, …

    There are even bigger caveats to that number than what they mentioned in the video. Since all the ratings are based on user reports, there is no standard for what is considered a w…

    I forget where I read it, but my understanding is that the secret patent would become public if you try to publicly patent it. I don't know if there would be any compensation for y…

    Effeminate isn't a synonym for gay, and there is more to war than just pulling a trigger.

    Covering your hand in hand sanitizer and lighting it on fire to pretend you're the Human Torch is something I thought pretty much every teenager did.

    If you can prove that you sincerely believe in the religion you made up 10 minutes ago, then you'd get the same exemption. It's not like they gave a list of religions that qualify …

    Steam Deck is just a handheld PC, I'm not sure what support the engine developers would need besides being able to understand the built-in controls.
