It’s hard to make a full judgment without knowing more details but “the pay is good and it’s easy” isn’t really a compelling justification for “and I help evil manifest in the world”.

I also commented there by accident once because I didn’t read the community name. They politely asked me to refrain from doing so. I was embarrassed, and have been more careful.

Apparently for some people this is unacceptable.

I knew a guy who went to work for palantir a bunch of years ago. Was always friendly at work. I asked him “but what’re you going to do if they do bad stuff, like spying on people?”

He just shrugged. Didn’t care. The money was good.

I don’t know if this alone is proof that’s a bad person, but I think it precludes him from being a good one.

Do you think they’re intentionally trying to weaken the US, or just stupid?

There are several problems.

One. Wotc are seeking players who aren’t paying attention and have no head for rules. They don’t want complexity.

Two, it’s bad to make one class have a ton of complexity while others stay at “I move and attack”, and they really don’t seem to want to give other classes more complex options.

DND isn’t designed well. It’s the Harry Potter of RPGs. Also the JavaScript.

The legislation seeks to amend existing immigration law to bar entry and naturalization, as well as create new grounds for deportation for anyone linked to what it describes as “totalitarian” parties, both foreign and domestic.

Trumpism is pretty “totalitarian”. I wouldn’t be that upset if all the magas got removed from power, and the irony of their own law being used to do it would be delicious.

That humor aside, this is a terrible idea that should be grounds for Roy’s immediate removal from office.

Given the amount of people saying they don’t want a stranger engaging with them in this thread, and the op describing it as liberating, you may be in the minority.

And it’s not apathy really. It’s more like… respect. If someone asks for help, that’s different than just barging into their space.

The stagnating wages and fraying social bonds are problems, though.

There was someone a while ago who was trying to get a web ring going for like nerd stuff. They said so many of their friends and people they talked to loved the idea, but no one made a site of their own.

I posted it in a local community group, and everyone said the same thing.

In my experience in New York City, people will generally ignore you, except (usually) when there’s a real emergency.

Someone crying? No big deal. Let them cry.

Saw a lady trip and fall down the stairs in the subway, and a bunch of people ran over to help her and return the stuff she dropped.

Yep. Infrastructure shouldn’t be privately owned.

Yes that is the legal justification. I am not interested in the legal justification. Laws are not inherently good. They were clearly paid less than their worth if there’s six figure payouts to be had here.

This is the fundamental injustice of capitalism. The owner pays you a small amount and keeps all the profits. A child would recognize that as unfair.

This feels like theft. Maybe not technically legally but the people who did the chatting aren’t getting the money. Capitalist hellscape

Parents raised their own alarms, with several pointing to the political division Kirk’s presence would inevitably import onto campus

Peeve: it’s not the division that’s the problem. It’s the hate and lies.

There’s also the class of comments that explain strange business decisions.

# Product guy said to return January 1st if the user doesn't have a birthday on record

Kind of arbitrary but someone with decision making power decreed it.

At work, the team isn’t very good at python. They’re mostly SQL people. Which is fine. I’m happy to mentor and guide.

The product lady said to me “can you write a guide on confluence about how to do python good?”

I’m like, people write whole published books about that you gotta pay money for. I’m not going to bang out a couple paragraphs and code blocks and suddenly people are heavy weights.

I wrote something anyway because I don’t want to further irritate the product lady.

Pop!_os has been fine for me. I’m not a tinkerer. It’s a machine for a web browser and video games.

Microsoft is probably salivating at the idea of being the only legal OS provider.

If you sell your game through Steam, you cannot have it cheaper anywhere else. Even DRM free version on your website. Even temporary sales.

I don’t see anything about this in their docs. The closest is “You should use Steam Keys to sell your game on other stores in a similar way to how you sell your game on Steam. It is important that you don’t give Steam customers a worse deal than Steam Key purchasers.”

That seems reasonable. If you’re selling DRM-free, you don’t generate steam keys, and valve has no stake in it.

I recently knew two people who came to the US recently.

One was from India, and he came for the money. He has a low six figure job as a “product manager” and the CEO’s toady. He’s quite ignorant of US politics and history, so he’s not really concerned.

The other came from canada, but also has EU residency (or citizenship? unclear). He said he makes more money here. He’s making mid six figures as a software engineer at a startup, with poor work/life balance. He can always leave, since his parents own a house in germany.

Neither were coming here like an old timey tale of immigrants trying to find a better life.

I sincerely believe that being rich is bad some kinds of intelligence You don’t have to deal with problems. You just brute force your way through with money. You don’t have to practice restraint and delayed gratification. You can just buy the thing now.
