So what, then bribes and intimidation just… aren’t actually effective ways of bending morals?
I gotta say I have 0 papers backing me, but I feel like the fact that the very concepts are words in the English language carries some weight.
Sadly it was only 4 years ago. But Iowa does feel like that sometimes.
… How much are you willing to overlook to keep yourself from going homeless?
There just ain’t enough protection for whistleblowers right now.
Oh god it’s a live action remake??? This is depressing.
yeah 28 Years Later I could see potential with. the rest I’m kinda… meh.
Although there have been titles that surprised me the last few years. Puss in boots 2 in particular. I expected nothing from that and found an amazing gem.
Jesus Christ, that tops the worst thing I’ve ever heard a therapist say.
I heard a tale about a therapist in Iowa who after talking about issues with anxiety recommended eating brains shaped foods like, broccoli and walnuts.
I’m not. What do you get as a reward for blowing the whistle? Genuinely?
There’s no bounty, even if there was you wouldn’t get it for at least a year after you blow the whistle.
Once it’s discovered it’s you, you’re fired. There goes your paycheck, your health insurance. Now your home is in jeopardy and you have no decent income verification to get a new one.
Good luck working in any job even remotely related to what you know. You now have a stigma in any background check and while a privately owned mom & pop might look at you favorably, there ain’t a single corporation who will take pride in hiring you. You’re risky.
The most ethical person, is one with no debt, who owns their home, and has 8 months expenses saved up. That’s not most Americans right now.
Honestly steamdeck plus tpm module requirement for windows 11 is making me give a serious attempt to Linux for the new year. I do a very good job of taking care of my tech, it lasts decades.
I find it infuriating I have to change due to arbitrary OS decisions. I could’ve held onto my original pixel for quite some time, but it was no longer getting the security updates.
I feel like with the hardware requirements linux might see another bump come October
Oh I know, that’s why I say go to events. Going to a coffee shop or even a club aren’t places I’d recommend. Interacting is so expensive there in terms of energy, anxiety, and stress.
But a lot of events have a lot more contextual options. Where questions are appreciated, as well as compliments. Anime conventions are a great example. “How did you make this?” “What show is this from?” “What is this line for?” “Can I get a picture?” “You look awesome”
Would never do that in a coffee shop.
… Ok well here’s the link to the moment (in the video you watched) where we have one **staff ** member giving an official response to how LTT interpreted the problem in a forum post on their website.

And here’s a link to their youtube channel where they talk about honey

You’ll notice. There isn’t one.
So for at least two years, they knew honey was stealing affiliate links and considered it a big enough problem to end their partnership, but did not consider it a big enough issue to make a video on it.
I think what was truly surprising is that they were bought for 4 billion.That much money for… basically an out and out scam. Paypal is that sure that it’s:
entirely legal
Will never be stopped
will return on a 4 billion investment.
seriously… did you watch the video?

Here. Here’s a link to the exact moment that entire chapter starts.
Huge fan of the we are legion, we are bob series right now.
It’s about a guy at a sci-fi convention who signs up for one of those “we freeze you before you die” programs/scams and wakes up as an AI with no rights a few hundred years in the future.
It really starts going off the rails when he gets sent off to space and given orders to
Build a space station
Copy yourself several times
Send those copies off to build more space stations.
A growing civilization of yourself and endless space. What can possibly go wrong?
Ordinarily I would agree, but there are a few issues with that.
For one, he’s not just an actor. He’s also credited as one of the 13 producers and co-producers. That producer hat does not disappear once the director yells action. That alone should open up a door for all 13 of these guys to get charges applied if they ignored warnings about safety. Not saying it’s an open and shut case, hell maybe he’s only producer in name for bragging rights and never attended a meeting, it’s a valid argument he can make. But I think it definitely opens the door.
Secondly, the amount of star power he has does give him some power in this film. If people are complaining about safety and he’s domineering over people going “Shut up! I need filming done in 3 months so I can move to x film, give me the gun lets go”. He’s culpable in my eyes. He actively silenced and ignored concerns in that hypothetical and proceeded to roll the dice himself. Again no idea if that happened but it would absolutely open the door for charges.
The fact that the case is being dropped suggests that maybe they thought they had a case in these two veins, but ultimately couldn’t make the argument to a reliable degree.
I don’t think it’s an unreasonable ask either, but from what I understand, Valve is incredibly libertarian, like more than the libertarian party libertarian. Their politics and policies are freedom freedom freedom, and any form of regulation is sheer anathema to them.
Oh, never even heard about mbin. I just now the same error has been on kbin for 8 months now
WHICH IS WHY WE TREAT MOXXIE NICE
AND EXPLOSIONS!!!
So one year my sister an I save up for a game cube. We had Kirby air ride, a few controllers, a few Zelda games, we were happy campers.
Christmas rolls around and the first thing I unwrap for christmas? Halo: Combat Evolved.
We’re good sports about it, everybody makes mistakes, second and third gifts? two xbox controllers.
the morning continued, memory cards, some xbox party game, the works.
right at the end, the SOB reveals he won an xbox in a raffle.
happy ending, but god damn that was an awkward Christmas start
maybe, but I came from kbin. which I now consider dead and gone.
RIP
You don’t share food if you’re starving. You don’t share time if you work 12 hour days, every day.
If you spend all your energy on survival, you got no energy to spare on anyone else. I bet our hypothetical starving person would be moral and share, if they had the chance and materials.
If they don’t… then it’s not a matter of won’t it’s can’t. People are more likely to share food they have excess of, time they have excess of. If they can’t spare it, they won’t.
