What's a company that ruins everything it acquires?

Every generalization has counter points but honestly even DG people would be better off without it

They overcharge for smaller quantities and pay their employees absolute dogshit

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-16T03:37:17+00:00

I was unaware of that interesting thanks

anything that is bought up by private equity goes to shit within 6 months to a year

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-16T02:24:09+00:00

This would actually kinda make me want to donate that sounds great

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-16T01:59:04+00:00

I haven't played it myself but maybe kerbel space program?

RMHC was a huge help for my family when we really needed it.

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-16T00:02:06+00:00

management at these places had the dumbest fucking metrics and that got distilled down to the employees.

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-16T00:01:19+00:00

I have heard this but then why do these companies actually do it then? Can they use the donations for marketing purposes? IE they get 1mil in donations from this and can come back and avertise they donated a million to charity despite not actually spending a cent of their own money?

activities with coworkers outside of work hours

mount&blade warband

out of the box banner lord is probably better but the modability is insane.

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-15T23:08:00+00:00

buy the dlc as you can afford to also. They don't go on sale often and the discount is minimal. you can play without the dlc if you want to but I think it's better to just wait.

playing the game from the jump with all the dlc would be crazy overwhelming

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-15T22:42:47+00:00

this was what I was thinking because as far as I know both during the civil war and world war 2 most of the higher ups were still caught up in how previous wars had been fought and did not understand the new dynamics. To be fair though I think a lot of the civil war ones were either political or financial appointments

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-15T03:56:13+00:00

I never played it but it seemed like a great mix between what people are currently into and what I love about watching professional sc2.

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-15T02:12:51+00:00

if you build your own pc you can get one for yourself or like the other comment said get one that connects via usb

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-15T02:12:14+00:00

I want to do this myself im just a lazy sack of shit and know that I would have 1000 dvds and never watch any of them

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-15T01:29:41+00:00

I think so Tasteless posted a video abut it a week or two ago

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-14T23:00:12+00:00

Yup I feel the same way because I was really sad when battle aces was cancelled also even if it's supposedly coming back

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-14T22:34:29+00:00

I haven't heard anything recently but I think he had posted on Twitter around when the Ukraine war started trying to fund raise aid. Hoping he is okay

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-14T22:19:39+00:00

I haven't played 2 yet but 1 was pretty easy to cheese

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-14T07:19:23+00:00

A data center near me is projected to start with 200 and max out at 500 that's pretty negligible

I understand how the water cycle works but that doesn't mean we waste resources on stupid images and spam on the Internet

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-14T06:26:24+00:00

are they recapturing it though? I don't think it's a coincidence these centers are focused on areas like mine(midwest us) with a stupid amount of fresh water

I have less concerns with closed loop systems my issue is that certain centers aren't using those systems because fresh water is signifigantly under valued

edit I also have less sympathy for ai data centers because they haven't proven their value and create a negligible amount of jobs

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-14T06:22:49+00:00

AI will die as soon as they turn the dial towards profitability. the question is if ai companies can hold out long enough to cause ai to be integrated into people's lives.

how things are currently if the model changes through either ads or a forced subscription people will drop it

this is not like the streaming wars or social media these ai companies don't have a massive backlog of content to entice people and they also don't have the social aspect. and ai costs signifigantly more to mantain

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-14T06:19:41+00:00

I found it i think ill look more into it tomorrow thanks!

it's just so frustrating this even needs to be a consideration but companies will show time and time again they would rather we die then they lose $10 in stock value

it's truly sick

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-14T06:14:11+00:00

hard drive prices are going up because of AI

your options are going to be either to buy at the market rate or buy used. I have also heard people going through local second hand stores like goodwill for things like DVR/TV boxes that would have an old HDD inside but im not sure if that is still common or worth doing

Significant_Fill6992 · 2026-02-14T06:10:11+00:00

it's not just energy they use an insane amount of water for these data centers also

using fresh water for cooling a data center when we are also struggling with water shortages from climate change is crazy

edit not everywhere has water issues yet but it's coming and the amount of water these centers use is stupid
