They’re game devs, not an acquisition and mergers team. “We signed contract to do business with xyz terms” should be plenty reliable enough for conducting business. Not “Lol, whut? You didn’t read the fine print? Psyche! We’re changing everything.”
Unity deserve to get sued into oblivion for this
YEP. Same. It’s always entertaining at work to watch a colleague who’s never heard my accent before hear me speak to a patient from Appalachia or the south
Yeah I’m absurdly good at not speaking in my native Appalachian accent, opting instead for a sort of “generic midwest.” Unless I’m tawking to ma day-ed-dy, n’ then all bets is awf."
My sister and I cover so well and so often that none of her four children who are literally being raised in Charleston, West Virginia has even a trace of our accent.
They can buy themselves a few years at best without a functioning supply chain. We all depend on society, no matter how much they like to deny it
They think they do. No amount of money will protect a person from the collapse of a civilization. Never has, never will. Their plans are very much predicated on the assumption that markets will somehow magically continue to function after the general populace has lost all faith in them
Their content promotion algorithms are not protected by section 230. Those algorithms are the real problem, pushing more and more radical content onto vulnerable minds. (The alt-right YouTube pipeline is pretty well documented. Reddit, I think, less so. But they still promote “similar content”)
It’s a rather bizarre argument, essentially saying “it’s not the whole solution so it’s not a solution at all”
Lawdamercy, can you please say it louder for the people in the back whinging that they refuse to vote for Biden because his Climate Bill wasn’t perfectly everything all at once? In the face of the Republican denialist obstructionism, it’s pretty fucking miraculous. The ultimate solution to climate change is going to be a patchwork quilt of a million different tiny solutions
It’s wild to me, old enough to remember the thick clouds of yellow smog that used to blanket Los Angeles and acid rain dissolving historical buildings and statues, to see how far we’ve advanced in reigning in air pollution. I can kind of understand the struggle that older generations have in updating their ideas about what is and is not acceptable. All the more reason to have age restrictions on politicians to try to make advancement possible at the speeds required to save the species from climate change.
Vivekananda is one of the most brilliant minds in modern India, contemporary with Gandhi, and only less well known because he died so young.
And “what that is” is that you’ve blindly accepted outsiders’ racist assessments of your people. You really need to question that shit:
“WE HAVE THE WORST GENETICS”
Holy SHIT, my dude. You need to take a SERIOUS step back and question the eugenicist colonial bullshit you’ve internalized. I would advise taking a look at Swami Vivekananda’s assessments of India and Indian people.
“nuke the unevolved savage freaks” is the most blatant example of standard issue online “it’s ok to say racist things about Indians” I have ever seen. I have no idea how anyone in 2023 could not have a single brain cell to make them rethink a statement like that before clicking the comment button.
Are you fucking kidding me with this racist shit?
You’re a good teacher, working around the things they find important in their lives. Thank you
No this is different, actually. The other event is the hypothesized genetic bottleneck triggered by the Toba supervolcano eruption only 74,000 years ago as opposed to 900,000 years ago for this newly proposed event.
I’ve had multiple issues with very recently released movies (like Crazy Rich Asians) not playing at all and only giving me pixelated nonsense or the aspect ratios being completely fucked up. Never happened on HBO Max. Only since the forced migration to the new app
Oh that’s wild. I recognized your username, and never realized it was suddenly coming from a different instance
But it’s also about cost. Nuclear is far more expensive upfront, more expensive to maintain, and more expensive to decommission. Cheap, agile renewables will be an easier option for the vast majority of the planet
(I mean, we’re talking about radioactive water from one nuclear power plant. I’m pretty sure the adage applies in this case.)
The solution to pollution is dilution ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There only being that one playbook is the exact reason why I have a patch on my backpack that reads: “Evil is boring”
