    The product is supposedly 72" long. It looks like if he stretched his legs out straight, his feet would match up with the bottom of the mat pretty evenly, but the top would still barely come to his shoulders.

    Either that dude’s 7 feet tall, or the product measurements are a lie. I thought it was a common tactic among companies to show their “big” products being used by particularly short people to make them look larger than they are. Marketing fail.



  • They do point out that they will be monitoring how it’s used, and could adjust things later.

    Sounds like corporate-speak for “if people abuse this, we’ll lock it down harder.”

    Even if people are using it to share with actual family around the country, they may get caught up in future updates that remove that feature. Also note that any publisher can opt out of the sharing. If EA or Ubi or some other big company doesn’t like the lack of limits, they may be able to force Valve’s hand in changing the policy.

    The idea is wonderful, but there are a ton sof ways this could end up worse than the old system.












  • Trump represents modern conservatism, but he himself? I’m not sure he actually stands for a whole lot beyond his own orange bubble.

    He’s mostly a blank slate (philosophically and intellectually) that the people around him can use to get their agendas enacted. He surrounds himself with sycophants and bootlickers, so as long as they promise him wealth and power, he is content to parrot the talking points he’s given.

    Steven Miller, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, and all the others…those are the real evil motherfuckers. When Trump is out of the picture, they’ll find some other half-wit to puppet. The fight won’t end when one figurehead fades in to history.

    idk, just one dude’s thoughts.

    (Just to be clear, none of that absolves him of the real damage he’s done. Malicious indifference is still malicious.)
