I cannot emphasize enough that these people are being laid off for failing to do things that are literally impossible

Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.

You can tickle the penguins
And get them to laugh
You can just sing a song
To amuse the giraffes
Just a little soft-shoe
Will delight the woodchucks
But try as you might
You can’t

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

My degree program includes classes in 3D modeling (blender) and 3D Development (Unity) so I've spent the day getting really excited about a game model before finding it breaks when importing.

I think this may be linked to stay-at-home-parentism, which of course then defaults to mothers. I was the stay-at-home and made a lot of appointments for my wife.
Not to say there aren't also a lot of husbands who can't take care of themselves...

REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement

CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are?

STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors

CNBC: No other law enforcement officials in the US are allowed to wear masks
