Hoping this ages like milk, but I'm personally not putting much stock into these theatrics. I feel like the past decade has time and time again shown that schadenfreude only happens in movies, and that every interaction these people have with each other are Neanderthal-level grifts that successfully siphon them more even money from the lower classes.
Color me jaded.
This is a weird loredump from Armored Core.
For the ARC, these federal contracts have been lucrative. According to government spending records, the company has received at least $600,000 from federal contracts so far in 2025, and about $700,000 last year.
I don't know why I was expecting more. US citizens should probably start unmasking who the people making decisions behind these companies are, who would sell out this kind of data on others--all for such an inconsequential amount of money.
This is incredibly insightful, thanks.
I don't know how many times I've made this comment but it feels like a lot. The more you use a word the less it means something. How unoriginal do you have to be at writing headlines in 2025 to use a word as meek as "slams."
It's laughable in this context especially. Trying to phrase it like this guy has gotten any kind of consequence for his toddler-from-hell persona.
Every time I see this I think of Carl Sagan. The guy was a wordsmith.
I think there's truth in it either way. Although I can't think of many things only men like, expanding it to "anything dominated by an overwhelming proportion of men to woman" still works. I think they're more cringe than uncool though.
"Stunning" is such a sad word to use in this context.
Generally they tend toward collecting as much money as possible from people so in that regard, people dying isn't good for business. But from an ethical standpoint, no, I wouldn't think so. Do you?
Speculating here but I imagine that would indirectly cause much more death than we already see in wildfire situations, due to people potentially staying home trying to abate damage however they can think of.
Yo dawg I heard you like microplastics
