Every time Max wins we imagine the impotent screaming of a scorned 9-year-old on the other side of the wire

.@Max_Grossman is really into Clash Royale, we have a running joke where we pretend all of his opponents are a 9 year old kid named Hunter

I try to imagine a world where I could stay up past midnight and NOT just be thinking "mmmm sleep" the whole time

I really want to be the kind of person who doesn't fall asleep in the middle of parties

i've tried putting in new valid cards, deleting and re-adding cards, etc, pledges always seem to fail regardless. sigh

why must patreon make it so stupidly hard to pay people? every month some of my pledges fail repeatedly for no obvious reason

this. my answer was almost always, "uh, because that's another thousand-person org in a different US city, sorry" https://twitter.com/lcareccia/status/715955426701893633 …

even if a boycot succeeds, the mgmt who make these calls aren't affected. they'll just lay off workers - who might already agree with you.

wildly different cultures, management, etc, with often no significant communication/oversight between the disparate branches.

seeing the org as 1 large whole makes it easier to understand but is inaccurate. At MS, for example, sub-orgs are basically diff. companies

the problem with boycotting large orgs: you're effectively attacking the left ankle when the right index finger is the responsible party

imo your time is better spent trying to help people in games organize so firing based on the court of public opinion can't happen anymore

if you boycott nintendo do you really think the people who fired allison rapp will be the ones to face the consequences?
