    Since you brought it up, I’m unconvinced the introducing crack to black neighborhoods thing is entirely related. Pretty sure the CIA already had their hands full with a couple war(s) to take a huge interest in MLK when he was rallying against racism, it was more until he started speaking out for unions and against unchecked capitalism. During the social justice years they only smeared him with the out-of-context details of his extramarital affair to media outlets (TMZ level bullshit) in order to try to discredit him. Don’t get me wrong, he was a nuisance to them for exposing injustice but as soon as you get in the way of the dynastic wealth of very powerful families though, it’s a whole new ballgame. That’s when the assassination talks probably kicked into high gear.

    I strongly agree that it seems like in his comments after the interview last year (the fing idiots comment) that he was planning to leave soon the whole time and volunteered to be the fall guy in exchange for a golden parachute. It’s a win for all parties involved, because unity gets their PR scapegoat and he was likely going to get a nice financial package on the way out the door anyway.

    I don’t care much what the new direction is anyway. I’m using unreal for my games but I admit even with the new pricing structure, I’d probably pay a lot less under Unity’s install fee thing, which caps out at 4% rev share, assuming one of my games ever even got enough sales to hit a million dollar threshold as a solo developer. The issue for me was the magical telemetry spyware that’s apparently going to be in every new build now. Its to the point I’m reconsidering if I’ll buy unity games ever again, or even install any of the ones I have on steam if they decide to update the build.

    (That last part hurts my soul deep because Cities Skylines 2 is literally about to release. 🥲)

    If I were renting I’d allow anyone to have pets if they were willing to increase their security deposit by the cost of replacing all the mounted rugs in the apartment. But if they stayed for many years and I had to replace them anyway just on wear and tear id give them the money back when they left.

    awkward teenage white girl twerking

    🤢 ah yes, nothing like having all the thickness and curves of a tiny palm tree but still for some reason all the enthusiasm of a Labrador on bath salts. it’s more vertical vibration than twerking if you look like a bleached light pole.

    they were kids having sober, abstinent fun, nothing scandalous about it, and this Jesus shit needs to stop. I wish the international atheist society started a charity to get her scholarship money replaced, I would definitely throw in a few bucks.

    Exactly, and I don’t think Google really gives a shit what you do anyway, they just want to shelp your data to their ad partners. But any free open source software or hardware has value independent of the company that creates it. Degoogled chromium, FOSSized android rom Pixels, YouTube in browser with ublock, it’s not hard to remove Google/Microsoft etc from the equation and get a useful product if there’s one there.
