Additionally, even using exclusively solar power as soon as possible doesn’t really stop pollution from spreading, it just reduces the rate of growth, which is good but it’s also a pretty clear statement that industry in itself is something that needs to be taken as a tradeoff, not an inherent good.
Not really, believing there should be affordable housing for everyone doesn’t mean all housing should be affordable to anyone.
I believe there should be different levels of density of housing and pricing in different areas, and that the state should subsidise some percent of rent based on income, possibly up to 100% up to a certain cost, if you haven’t had evictions on record; but I also own different properties I rent at market rate because it’s commensurate to the cost of living in the area, and a lower rent would not make living there any more affordable, and would open me up to possible tenant disputes if someone who can’t afford to live there were to move in.
If the cost of living went down in the area I would also adjust accordingly, as I don’t believe in fleecing people and it’s also generally beneficial to be in line with market value to maximise client volume.
Affordability isn’t a “rent is too high” issue only. It’s a “there is no place I can afford to live in that makes sense for the places I need to reach” issue too.
Cost of living is a huge factor, I have friends who work in the service industry who almost had to move completely out of the city due to the 22-23 price hike, despite local laws preventing rent from following inflation.
It’s only hypocritical if you believe no housing should be market controlled, which is a non-serious opinion, to be frank.
Noted, I didn’t even know she existed. What are some good articles she wrote for IGN that you’d recommend?
I don’t expect IGN to keep anyone on the writing team but it’s good to know good authors.
My bet is: you can’t reliably fire unionised workers, so you make them want to quit instead.
The IGN newsroom is a joke, name one reputable journalist you are SURE works there without checking first, and I’ll be genuinely surprised, the only value is in the brandname, their coverage can probably be replaced by some LLM horseshit with nobody really noticing.
The higher ups know it, the journos know it (hence why they unionised) and thus they’re at an impasse.
Once they inevitably lose this standoff they’ll be replaced by third-worlder english speakers with chatgpt, mark my words.
A bunch of Skadis custom hooks and holders. Most involved ones were a paper towel roll holder and a magnetic file rack for some Stanley metal files.
I’m sure the fact that Ghibli movies and BotW are best-in-class examples of their respective mediums has absolutely nothing to do with anything.
Looking forward to the metric shittons of open world ghibli knock-off garbage being currently greenlit by frothing execs hoping they have at last found the blueprints to the dopamine machine.
Stop Killing Games can focus on other industry problems later when it has established more of a presence.
Or just not? SKG is a consumer rights and art preservation movement, not a labor rights movement.
None of the people who signed up for SKG should expect it to pivot to something else once the stated goal is achieved, and especially not to legitimise itself as an organisation beyond its stated mission off the back of the support for it.
I guarantee you without a shadow of a doubt that a “Stop firing devs” would not have gone anywhere close to this level of support.
Moreover, it’s basically impossible to unionize any kind of digital asset production work, because with modern internet connections locations are a non-issue, and you can’t unionize across vastly different countries and economies.
Too many people are willing to work in games while being paid breadcrumbs to even make a union possible, even without the outsourcing issue, and frankly if you are that willing to get fucked why should anyone stand in your way?
Lol no.
If you want workers’ rights get your own movement started, you don’t get to come shit up the initiative others have set up for an entirely different purpose.
I got it, it was just a funny slip in a conversation about mixing up player and character roles/feelings.
Yeah no that sounds like a messy person being messy, at least in my circles “bleed” is more like when your character grieves and you feel a pang along with them, or when they’re moved by an event or angry at a character and you get the same physiologic responses, not throwing a tantrum at the players for their in game actions.
Then again you did say they physically stopped the player so maybe they’re not the only person whose lines are a bit blurred.
Dragon age 2, Mass effect 3
ME3 is particularly bad cause most of the game is exactly as it should have been, and then the ending is pure unadulterated trash.
MC and Visa are not technically payment processors, that would be stuff like stripe or ayden.
The problem is that cc companies have rules that put the onus of ensuring nothing illegal is purchased with their issued cards on the ones actually meditating the transaction, so it becomes a chilling effect because the intermediaries don’t want to risk burning a bridge with the largest cc networks in the world, and overcorrect as a result.
Publishing pornography of someone without their consent is a crime.
The justice system sided with Hogan in the end and unless you’re alleging bribery that’s not a matter of who paid, but that the trial was brought to its conclusion instead of settling out of court because the multinational publishing corporation won the money fight, something enabled by Thiel’s money, but also something that shouldn’t have been necessary in the first place.
Yeah exactly, Thiel’s opinion and power should not have been factors but Gawker should not have existed by that point in the first place so karma and all that.
2 abuses of power cancelled eachother out.
I’m just happy that Jesse Ventura got to see Terry’s body float downriver.
Nah, publishing revenge porn of someone in direct defiance of court orders, multiple times, should be enough to get that done, it’s a shame that Thiel’s money was needed when it should have come free with the justice system.
Thiel is a piece of shit and an actual lunatic super villain but he was in the right on that one.
Well yeah, “shut the up” is not a correct phrase… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
I love communism
And I’m sure you live on one of the many successful communist countries in the world today.
Oh, wait.
and circus performers
Well at least you have high self esteem.
they both bring joy to the masses
The masses*
* the portion of them that is not in a gulag, is not disappeared, doesn’t have its rights curtailed due to social credit decline for disagreeing with the regime, wasn’t purposefully starved to death during the holodomor, and so forth.
And don’t get me started on the evils of the circus performers who propagandise for them from the comfort of their liberal democracies.
There is a reason communism is treated with equal acrimony to nazism in every former soviet satellite state, m8.
How’s the bile, you seething commie clown?
You’re only “not an artist” if you’re not making art. If you make something and don’t want it to be art, then it’s not art, and you’re not an artist.
That’s about it as not artist goes.
