Trying to get over your work related burnout through doing more work - is probably the dumbest AND worst idea I’ve heard in a while. Why would anyone do that other than that they’re in a kind of pathological denial or hace unresolved issues driving such behavior.

It’s irrational.


Blizzard wants to hide the fact that Warcraft and Warcraft II were fun, and in a completely different genre than WoW…

…and they weren’t subscription model games. I liked those games. Good Solo games, very replayable with various AI skirmish modes, and you could even get a map editor.


Can you eject from your mech like you could waaay back in Mech Warrior 2?


…are we accidentally going to open a portal to hell by trying to get doom running on something it shouldn’t? Is that how it finally happens?

That would be the Ultimate Doom. Real Doom too.


…and all so they can steal our collective content, creativity, and every piece of individual thought or content we’ve ever communicated online.

…with the aim of exploiting it to make billionaires richer.


…a “leveraged loan” usually means there’s a contract to sell a natural resource for a very cheap price (far below the market rate) if the loan isn’t paid back. That’s the “leverage” that makes the loan (usually to an otherwise poor country) “good” in the eyes of the world bank.

So that’s what happens. If they refuse to give up the goods, they’ll get down graded, possibly refused global banking services, or put on an embargo list… And they’ll probably arrange ownership of the mine/refinery/wells and have them secured with private security forces anyways.


When you’re too questionable for the world bank - who regularly offers leveraged loans to dictators they know are going to embezzle the cash and flee, leaving whole countries destitute.

…even those guys are like - “nah, Elon Musk clearly has a questionable character”.
