America is an oligarchy ,has been my entire life, and always will be.
Are you over 200 years old? government used to break up monopolies. citizens united probably wasn’t the beginning but it sure did streamline the corruption and legalize the purchase of politicians. Anyways, normalizing apathy probably isn’t going to help the situation.
would i be able to sure them for false advertising? only FedEx doesn’t deliver to my apartment for some reason and says it’s an unreachable destination.
basically no company wants the bad PR. If it had come out twitch would be known as the platform with pedos and parents wouldn’t let their kids use it resulting in the platform becoming obsolete.
for me the only way i can describe aphantasia is in terms of how a computer works.
I have a visual encoder that can store images in my visual memory but lack a visual decoder to be able to display any image. like if you could only open a jpeg in notepad. that doesn’t mean the information is lost or can’t be interpreted, just that my cognitive brain deals directly with the binary format. i understand the attributes like depth or color but if asked to recall something i can only verbalize the attributes. this means i can verbalize visual concepts and memories, but can’t generate or visualize them inside my head.
the chess example i wouldn’t even consider thinking visually to see the moves ahead but create a list of possible actions. I’ve always struggled with chess as i don’t have the ability to store the depth of actions available.
talking shit
Do you disagree Trump’s a rapist, because that was a court ruling, or do you just think that’s ok as long as no one talks about it?
State Senator Anthony Kern [photo], the bill’s sponsor, says the Ten Commandments shaped the country’s heritage. “Our history is the Ten Commandments,”
I’m guessing he’s never read the Constitution?
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
would bet money he doesn’t even know what the 10 commandments are
Considering how riled up everyone seems to getting over what was said, I inclined to believe it was said specifically to get a rise out of their opposition.
their actions on Jan 6th, the Nazi marches with literal 3rd Reich chants and the political refusal to denounce them. refusing women health care causing an increase in mortality rates.
you can’t participate in fascism and say /s just kidding bro.
In other words; you’re being trolled, and they’re having a laugh.
they aren’t trolling, they’re laughing that they’re getting away with it and the system refuses to do anything about it. the cruelty and the power to enact that cruelty onto others is the joke to them.
i reported it as doxing, looks like they’re recording names and addresses. maybe those in the EU can raise gdpr concerns?
Microsoft lawyer Rakesh Kilaru wrote that Microsoft was already considering layoffs before the merger.
Corporate gaslighting at it’s finest. we planned to layoff ~1000 employees from the company we were acquiring before we agreed not to do that!
18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
treason is more about declarations of war, a foreign party may be involved but it’s not required.
you seem to be blaming the workers for turning out flops but in general it’s the managements lack of planning and micromanagement that’s the general cause.
no one who’s a developer, artist, designer wants to add micro transactions, that comes from top down because it’s a revenue generator. they want to polish the games so they can be proud of the work, but are not given time.
executives are not the ones generally being let go and the ones that are will be cashing out from the acquisition. expect those IPs to get worse and have more enshittification because that’s what makes money and that’s all corpos care about.
you don’t get a larian studios from laying off talent, you get it from good management and giving your talent time to deliver.
could be skimpflation. company’s have been changing ingredients slowly to lower the cost of ingredients to save on cost. doing it very slowly over years they end up saving money and no one really notices the changes.
if you can find an old ingredient/nutritional list from a few years ago you can compare ingredient order to see if it’s changed
The thing about Mr Beast, it’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When it comes at you it doesn’t seem to be livin’… until he bites you, and those black eyes roll over white.
