Varelion··on US proposes $100k charge for international students to do post-graduate work
“Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.” ― George Carlin

Varelion··on We're working on a new RuneScape MMO
Wife and I cancelled our subscriptions when the CEO cancelled the LGBTQ event in game, claiming that it was "too political" -- an event that had already ran for years up to that point. The continuation of the event was not too political, but its cancellation sure was.

Jagex can do what it wants, wife and I are staying away from any product that panders authoritarian dogwhistling.

Varelion··on Why Is Sam Altman a Free Man?
Sam Altman could sexually assault children and not go to jail. Many of his peers have sexually assaulted children; they have not gone to jail. The interogator that helped keep the Ideal Living from going to court said it best -- and I paraprase:

" Justice is not fair. The justice system doesn't care who is right, they only care who has more money, and I see billions of dollars in that room, and I do not see billions of dollars in this room. "

Varelion··on Memory Companies Have Destroyed the Consumer Market
I hope so. I feel so, so, so terribly guilty for not building my wife a computer for her in 2023. She is rocking a 1080ti, and I really wish I had at least upgraded her system, but now I just straight cannot afford to even consider it, given the price of rent, food, gas, energy, all on top of the actual hardware prices.

And I am a SWE.I am not making bad money. I can't imagine what others are going through.
