@PeytonChorvat Holy shit

Can I get a cuddle 🥹

I worked at Epic Games for two years. This is real, and the strategy behind it is smarter than most people realize. Tim Sweeney has spent nearly two decades buying North Carolina forest land. 50,000+ acres across 15 counties. He’s now one of the largest private landowners in the state. The purchases started in 2008, right after the real estate collapse wiped out developers who had been planning golf resorts and luxury communities on biodiverse wilderness. Sweeney paid $15 million for Box Creek Wilderness, a 7,000-acre stretch in the Blue Ridge foothills containing 130+ rare and threatened species. Developers had owned 5,000 of those acres before the crash. He bought them for conservation prices when nobody else was bidding. He runs the acquisitions through an LLC called “130 of Chatham.” He buys the land, holds it for years, then either donates it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sells it at a discount to state parks, or hands it to land trusts. In 2021, he donated 7,500 acres in the Roan Highlands to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. Largest private land donation in North Carolina history. The part people miss: he told the News & Observer that since 2021, land got too expensive to keep buying. So he shifted focus to converting his existing 50,000 acres into permanent conservation status. He’s locking the land into legal structures that make development impossible regardless of who owns it in the future. A billionaire worth roughly $6 billion is spending tens of millions acquiring wilderness specifically during economic downturns, then giving it away or placing it under permanent legal protection. The land will outlast him, Epic Games, and Fortnite. That’s the part that separates Sweeney from billionaires who write checks to get their name on a building. The building depreciates. The forest compounds.

For 35 years, Blizzard has been shaped by the worlds we build - and the players who bring them to life. You’ve fought through World of Warcraft, battled in Diablo, played your cards in Hearthstone, and held the line in Overwatch. We’ve come a long way together. And now, the next chapter begins. Over the next few weeks, each world will showcase what comes next. If these games mean something to you, we’d love to see you there.

@craschnet @lowtempo @pubity This was avoidable and someone is dead because of their incompetence. Theyre the ones walking into potentially dangerous situations. They should be equipped with the knowledge and tools on how to handle these types of situations. The responsibility falls on them. 3/3

@craschnet @lowtempo @pubity They train people in customer service on how to de-escalate. I would like to think people who work in jobs with much higher stakes would also be properly trained on how to de-escalate. These types of fuck ups cost lives- not money, not product, but literal lives. 2/3

The National Rifle Association, the biggest gun rights advocacy group in America, has demanded a "full investigation" into the shooting of Alex Pretti. Several other gun rights activist groups have also been critical of ICE's actions.

@craschnet @lowtempo @pubity Communicate*

@craschnet @lowtempo @pubity i feel like they should be trained to not accidentally misfire a gun they are disarming, and at the very least have a plan on how to communicate clearly when these things happen.

@craschnet @lowtempo @pubity being ordered to back off and not back off is not reason enough to shoot someone to death especially when their gun, which he did not reach for at any point, was already taken away from him. they shot him after they had his gun in their possession.

@lowtempo @pubity He was ordered to back off, he did not. He was being lawfully detain, he illegally tried to fight back. Any CCW owner carrying is suppose to de-escalate and follow Law Enforcement orders. He didn't. So HE FAFO.

@willi58869 @lowtempo @pubity he didnt fight them lol he protected someone and himself, they beat him down, someone takes the gun from him, and then they shoot him lol

@lowtempo @pubity Not for carrying a gun, but fighting police while in possession of a gun will have an extremely high likelihood of getting ended. When it happens, I won't feel bad.

In retrospect it was kind of suspicious when the president hired 80,000 guys with masks and machine guns and sent them to cities that didn't vote for him.

imagine being 75 years old and just spending your weekend driving tiny trains around your garden with your other retired friends

i think we easily forget how special this all is. this life, this consciousness.
