And that’s job creation right there!

Thanks to Discord, I’m able to keep merchants that “connect overbearing authoritarian entities with the data they shouldn’t have, at a price point we all can agree on” at stable, sub-full time employment status.

Truly, pillar of the economy, er community.

Not meaningless but certainly undercuts the grandstanding.

I’m beginning to think companies are doing this to get people to leave by themselves

Are we eventually gonna get more fusion because billionaires are demanding more energy for their stupid projects?

Sure, knock yourselves out.

Wait, kids don’t use the index? How do they find things in the book?

I don’t know about your textbooks and what ages you’re referring to but I remember many of my technical textbooks had citations in the back.

“*Video game piracy is not stealing” is closer to a statement I can get onboard with. A trivial example to disprove the former statement is the classic, seafaring pirate.

But a more salient example would be pirating music. If you have a pirated copy of an album such that you don’t need to buy another and don’t stream it from any official sources, you are materially and negatively impacting that artist.

Edit: it came to mind after I posted you might hold the position “I haven’t taken anything from them and I wouldn’t have bought it regardless of my pirating, so I haven’t deprived them of anything.” A position I’ve seen a number of times and fundamentally disagree with. Not trying to be rude but I’m not going to engage with that particular thought experiment.

Define “works”?

If you’re a CEO, cutting all your talent, enshittifying your product, and pocketing the difference in new, lower costs vs standard profits might be considered as “working”.

If, 24 months from now, most people aren’t coding, it’ll be because people like him cut jobs to make a quicker buck. Or nickel.

That is not always the case, from my experience

I just cannot fathom this absolutely brainlet, short-term thinking. Yeah, these people have created some of the best content we’ve ever made (according to player feedback). Let’s fucking fire them all!

When did “investing” die and rise as a revenant obsessed with burning down the building to get one more penny? Do billionaires know something we don’t and are burning everything down because the planet’s gonna explode?

Fuck, I’m ready to try anything at this point.

…the rest of that resume must be absolutely insane. Or he’s applying to be a businessman.

I’m out here with a Master’s degree and 3 years of work experience and I’m not even getting a first call. Shit’s tough out here.

Could be a subclass. However, it should just be an ‘is’ method which is passed the array of [young, pretty] as input

I’ve gotten to a tight, taut 82% by trying to make all the mods I cram into video games not shit themselves all over my PC

Yes, and that would not be currency. It might be useful to think of this as a tiered system.

‘Trade’ is a top-level idea, an exchange between entities. On a tier below that, i.e. a closer specification of ‘trade’, exists ‘barter’ (trading goods for other goods or services) and ‘money’ (trading some representational, notional item for goods/services). ‘Chickens’ as a payment is a further specification of bartering, while ‘currency’ is a further specification of ‘money’ (being ‘money’ defined/in use by a specific power/state).

Yeah, how did they commit this to anywhere that would hurt?
