I feel terrible because I didn’t buy even a card for my wife’s birthday. I just took her to her mother’s house. This was two weeks ago. I am still baffled why I didn’t buy flowers or something. My wife isn’t demanding at all.

he was focused on ethics

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…

Sorry this was my first laugh of the day.

I don’t think this is entirely accurate. People who sell their labour for money are all working class… and this would easily cover people right below rich.

Those who start letting money do work for them can be considered the owning/capitalist class.

Now if they are able to stop producing labour because the money they have is generating more money then at that point it becomes a problem because we have arrived at an infinite money machine which is unsustainable in a finite world.

My point is that people don’t want to discuss the real problem of the perverted capitalist discourse.

Its a shame that a middle class person who wants to use their extra income for joy is instead told to work hard and save money for half a century and die early without experiencing any kind of joy or reward for their hard work.

Sometimes you have to live a little. You aren’t getting your good health back.

Yeah but the theft of wealth from the middle class doesn’t become false because a few people live it large.

In fact, middle class is always encouraged to live it large by 24X7 marketing by corporations.

It’s truly a great thing if Death is unable to change your priorities. You got your shit figured out and must pat yourself on your back.

A lot of people definitely would take it. This might be the time to confess their love to a lifelong crush, punch their bully in the face, save up and complete their bucket lists, etc.

Death focuses us on what’s actually important and meaningful for each of us.

Can’t buy if it’s a private company and the founders are refusing to sell. Especially if the founders were former google employees who got fired.

That selling to the next buyer who throws money at you obviously leads to risks of getting shutdown. People don’t want or care about long term sustainability and cry when business daddy decides that record profits this year don’t match up with imaginary made up profit growth and hence declare this as a failure.

Edit: “Making good, profitable games ‘will no longer keep you safe’” But only if you sold your soul for a bunch of retirement money from Bethesda or whoever else. If you are so keen on that sweet retirement exit then your studio was doomed the moment somebody offered the founders to a buyout. I am baffled at how people are missing this obvious conclusion.

Even a 9 year old knows that’s not the conclusion you should draw from the closure of Hi-Fi Rush and Prey Studios

The reason is to get paid by corps to wipe the bad reviews.

Bro if you can’t understand development that you think you need someone to give you “a command or two” to setup your own shit when people from all kinds of devices (x86, arm, PPC, etc) and all kinds of OS (windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, etc) have potential to contribute;

Why should anybody listen to you?

I am actually hoping this causes lots of interesting startups from the good folks who leave google and then google gets disrupted by its own former employees in spite.

Listen bud, nobody cares about the story when the website is a trainwreck of poop flung everywhere.

Speak for yourself and your bigotted ass.

You’re trying to dismiss an assertion by submitting a superset of the assertion. Which is usually done to belittle or ignore the orginal point in the argument, which is that a majoirty of those pushing back against CoC also romanticize the old boys group of experts.

You’re trying to argue reality is the same for everyone. But as a CisHet Guy It’s kind of obvious I get treated better than women and it just gets worse from Woman to then any of the LBTQIA+ community.

I am not even white and christian and I can tell the difference. Please don’t try to argue about it being equally bad for everyone if moderation was taken away.

At least they are using the contraction right so I made peace with the rest of it.

Only consequences I am seeing is Elon Musk lost his case.
