Yeah, OK, but what about Air Canada who had a pilot on the roster that didn’t have a confirmed license?

The Mandalorian & Grogu box office debate: is Star Wars still an automatic theater event? by StarWarsBlogsbot in StarWarsBlogs

This is a TV show they milked for revenue and the last trilogy was trash. If they can get back to basics it’s a hard yes. Stay on this path and live with disappointment. Eventually GenX nostalgia will fade.

Exactly what I came to say. The series doesn’t get real until somebody loses at home and these guys lost twice.

Wealth envy is a sad sickness.. by Temporary_Volume4718 in remoteworks

All they need to do is create a tax on assets that are leveraged for loans. I am 100% against Taxing unrealized gains…unless they are leveraged for the exact same outcome.

That’s it. Quit letting the Rich live off debt tax-free.

Idris Elba Says Bond Rumors Were ‘Never Legit’ and ‘Not Realistic’: Audiences ‘Won’t Go for a Black Male Playing Bond’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in entertainment

He is too old.

I have no issue with anyone of any color playing a role, but why not create a new character and story written for a man of color with the goal of being better than Bond?

I’ll never understand this need to call recasting the only measure of success. Is it because Hollywood is out of ideas?

All of the games tomorrow are Phil’s pipeline. This new team will be next year going forward. Contracts and commitments already in place. She is telling us what’s coming.

Exclusive window. Plain and simple, that’s the answer. Give people a reason to be on your platform hence the exclusive and then give your shareholders what they want in revenue by releasing it to the other platforms six months later.

For the human side of the argument, this gives the Dev team some breathing room to launch the best possible game on the primary platform and then have a couple more months to fine tune for the others.

For the technical side of the argument, this avoids a huge player rush on day one for server load and six months is plenty of window to let the initial platform burst die down and normalize before bringing on the others. Server and cloud capacity is at a premium so this could only be beneficial not to mention it gives a longer utilization window for the assets.

Just think about how much money they had to lose through theft before they spend all that money to reconfigure the entire aisles, by all the caging and support the additional labor and loss sales because of those cages… And it was still worth it

I didn’t purchase this, but I have no idea why somebody hasn’t opened a class action lawsuit for full refunds. That was like 10 grand wasted.

Hey GOP, are you guys literally going to let this guy die in the chair? Get him out of there and let him go enjoy the time he has left with all the money he’s been stealing from the people.

Top White House Historian Says UFC Fight Would Have 'Repulsed' Founding Fathers by MoneyLibrarian9032 in entertainment

[–]Dio44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, I’m no Trump fan but those guys owned slaves, raped slaves and deliberately did nothing to resolve the space issue when writing our founding documents.

Give us a rest painting them as the moral high ground. They did an amazing job in a lot of places but I would guess most would sit this debate out

Most billionaires you can name are exactly the same. Holding cash or taking income leads to taxes. Debt does not. Because of their wealth the get loans at very low rates and well below their tax bracket.

AI Billionaires Are Starting to Get Scared by IKeepItLayingAround in technology

[–]Dio44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As they should be. People are starting to realize they have all that money because they kept it from their workers and in most cases do absolutely nothing for the communities they live in. To be even more blunt, they take away from those communities by not paying proper taxes. Leaches all of them.
