I have to return some video tapes

Tropico 7 gets released this year. I wonder if they'll have weird interactions with the US, and have an orange president you have to deal with in the modern age or something

I can understand the sentiment of "we're incredibly divided and this isn't healthy for our country's future", but you don't promise the kids that you're going to keep working on the marriage when he comes home drunk and beats everyone

I used to like his comics as a kid but now, having worked as a software developer for years... I'm starting to look at them different. He was always so fucking demeaning about the pointy haired bald boss, made him an absolute idiot. The constant joke was that the chad Dilbert was smarter than the idiot manager who never understood a thing about technology.

I bet Scott was an absolute fucking asshole in the office and hated having to be told what to do by people he saw as less than him.

Ball Torture was invented as a contraceptive method to prevent unwanted testicular pregnancies

Conservatives want to go after your ball torture

Why not both

Price went up along with the hardware power though. RPi 1 had 700 Mhz and 512 MB of ram, versus rpi5 at 2.4 Ghz quad core modern arm, 800 MHz GPU, and from 1 to 16 GB of ram lol.

It went from "oh cool I can run a small web server easy! A full Linux computer can fit in my pocket and I can bring it anywhere!" to basically gaming laptop specs of that early era.

You can basically get a pi zero 2w for less today than the rpi 1, and it's smaller and more powerful than the rpi1. I would say the price is damn reasonable.

And the microcontroller options these days... You can get a TON for cheap.

Anyone in tech in the bay shouldn't be surprised.

The bay area is quite liberal, but then there are a lot of people who move there for work, people who want to run their tech businesses in the tech capitol. They go to silicon valley, buy homes in the bay, and usually stay out of politics because that's generally the right way to go in the workplace.

However, they are not necessarily liberal, and often very money centered, the kind of greedy fucks who get upset that tax dollars might pay for social services. You have everything from liberals, anarchists, libertarians, to alt right fascists. There is a wide mix of beliefs and people mostly just stick to the tech and keep getting paid, because that's called being rational.

Is it surprising that these executive who "stayed out of politics" are now adopting MAGA ideology? Fuck no. The tech execs have always been the more conservative and greedy of tech. Their politics are "make me rich, bitch". MAGA is pro AI. They want to invest in AI. It's as simple as that for the most part, except some are a bit more racist and transphobic than normal and might like that aspect too. But most could not give a fuck as long as their car has doors that open up ways
