Epic has rocked the video game industry by laying off 16% of its workforce, nearly 900 people. While layoffs and studio closures and game cancellations are all too common in the industry, this was worse than usual, given the context in which they took place.
But to add something to the conversation, my vote goes to Toyota and Honda.
Anecdotally: Had a 1999 Corolla that I drove into the ground, ignored oil changes, was a stupid teen, and it ran fine until I wanted automatic windows. Currently riding in a Nissan Altima, which seems to be pretty great (as long as the transmission doesn’t fail, which they can do sometimes).
Parents had a Ford Eacort that was a lemon, and a Ford Escape that was a money-pit.
Nah, Queen Deluded is a different flavour of crazy. She’s doing it to benefit herself, whereas Freemen of the Land don’t really have a figurehead they give their money to. The Freemen are usually individual idiots who listen to other dumber (but more confident) people, and have the follow-through to actually commit to their stupidity. Whereas Queen Dildo’s followers are actively being duped.
Queen Dildonics is a cult leader with a collective of idiots who give money upwards, whereas the Freemen are mentally ill and broken individuals who want money for themselves based on jibberish. One is a pyramid scheme, the other is a troll-post that became real (like microwaving iPhones to charge them).
