Yeah, plenty of white supremacist gangs in prison already. Would be redundant.

The unfortunate thing is that, in the long run, that strategy will probably be super effective. Unless Europe (with the only internet regulations that actually have teeth) does something harsh enough, they will probably pay a few small fines over this at most. Cost of doing business and probably baked in already.
Pretty sad when non-Americans seem to understand the severity of this threat better than people here.
For sure… Just one more reason to adopt co-determination laws like those in Germany.
Public or private, if the board of the company actually contained literal workers, it could make things so much better.
Totally. I wasn’t trying to rag on Valve… More just a comment about capitalism in general and how shitty it is.
These products are experimental and usually sold at or near cost not to make money but to prove to the market there is a need and a demand.
Well, no… I think it’s more akin to the concept of “loss-leaders”. Get people in the door and while they’re there, they’ll buy a game or two. Which is where their real profits come from.
In the end, it’s still just a business strategy intended to result in profits for Valve.
However, that being said, the fact that they don’t have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders to maximize profits and keep that stock price up at (literally) all costs, allows them to operate the way they do.
But don’t get it twisted, they are a for-profit corporation, and their ultimate goal is making money. They’re just not as shitty about it.
The bar is REALLY fucking low these days.
FIGHT!
They’re also one of the few (possibly only) that has not gone public.
Just a coincidence, I’m sure.
Holy fuck lol
It’s crazy how often I see people doing this; they’re ardently against Trump’s efforts to turn the presidency into a dictatorship, while at the same time complaining that Biden didn’t do x y, or z when those aren’t things that fall under his purview.
What do they want?? Dictatorship is ok if it’s the neo-liberal I like?
…might explain his reported stench.
The way I see i t, respect all human life is the baseline. For me it takes quite a bit for someone too fall below that baseline enough that I’m upset that they’re still alive (and honestly, I don’t like that said people have made me feel this way).
But not everyone deserves respect. That privilege can be given up if you’re evil or shitty enough.
I’m sorry, input was not understood. Perhaps you meant:
*sexy scat and pooey role play forums"?
Lol nothing says confidence like going through someone’s comment history to try to find things to hurt them… Good think I’m not ashamed of either of those things.
And just to clarify the latter: criticizing your own country because of the awful things it is doing ≠ hate. Usually it’s literally the opposite. If I despised my country, I wouldn’t be so distraught as I watch it being sold for parts for next to nothing.

If this was an assassination attempt on Hitler in 1939, would the trolley problem not apply? If the attempt succeeded before his successful rise to power, how many lives would have ultimately been saved?
I don’t think you can say either way for sure which outcome would lead to less bloodshed… I do know that trying and missing is probably the worst possible outcome…
Also wouldn’t the [sic] be directly after “do” and not “process”?
So you don’t understand the Trolley Problem? I’m not sure the “moral high ground” is necessarily what you think it is in this case.
lol
