I actually think young liberal folk are the ones downvoting you not conservatives. I’m pretty liberal myself but I lived through the changes in the world so I can see how someone can feel left behind when they considereal themselves moderate or liberal their whole lives and now they’re being called conservative when they haven’t changed beliefs at all.

Yeah I had to do this with all my machines this morning. Worked.

Hey I was trying to say your point was valid but I guess you’d rather be told to go fuck yourself? /shrug

It is true. And that’s OK. Failure to change with the times and to learn from scientific advancements and social improvements is a conservative trait.

You are accurate, but it begs the question: Is not changing your opinions with time and new info a respectable way to live your life? Will you be on the right side of history? Who knows? But I feel like giving people more options is more often better than the alternative.

The standard for a Mary Sue character has gone way up too. The Japanese really figured out the formula with isikais where the protagonist is almost always good at everything or OP in some way, but the writing/world building is better. There are enough gems amongst the garbage that people know what a good one should contain now.

Leaf blower or strong fan to the face to help your tears wash away the papper spray is best relief. It feels better while it’s blowing in your face too.

Kinda easier to handle while you are panicking and your vision is impaired too.

Interestingly, if you look at the menu for Juneteenth, it doesn’t include fried chicken. The only chicken is a dry rub chicken that wouldn’t be fried. So your evidence confirms they believe fried chicken is in fact not appropriate for Junteenth. That’s a good reference point if we all accept that the national museum of African American history is an authority on such matters.

If you are looking to subcontract some of that workload, I only need 1 mil to talk shit online

I recently got “Yakuza Like a Dragon” from my Humble Choice bundle and it’s so good it’s made me want to check the rest of the series.

I used to believe this too. I was corrected and informed that if it collected as a donation it is not the company making the donation and they can not gain tax benefits from it. They also aren’t paying a sales tax on that money either.

The benefit is exclusively the good PR from arranging the donation, which to be fair, they did. If the donation came through a credit card they may have covered the ~3% transaction fee, although they could potentially write that off for the portion that the donation increased the fee by.

I assume most things advertised in apps and websites to be low quality or scammy. I hate advertising enough that I actually avoid any large company that throws ads in my face because I assume they can no longer rely on their reputations and arr no longer the value they were when they rose to prominence.

Facial recognition still struggles with really bad mistakes that are always bad optics for the business that uses it. I’m amazed anyone is still willing to use it in its current form.

It’s been the norm that these systems can’t tell the difference between people of dark pigmentation if it even acknowledges it’s seeing a person at all.

Running a system with a decade long history or racist looking mistakes is bonkers in the current climate.

“Whose” should probably be “thats”. But a native English speaker will occasionally personify things and so the meaning would be the same, but you are correct.

They got bait and switched is my understanding. The game they played included the content from the micro transactions without them being informed they weren’t part of the base game.

Oh yeah, he’s compensated well, no doubt, but his pay isn’t what keeps the company from being profitable is all I’m saying.

They paid him just shy of 400k. The stock and options he was given have nothing to do with reported losses. It’s all monopoly money until IPO, them we’ll see what it’s worth.

Guys… in the SEC article, it breaks it down. He was paid a little under $400k

The rest is all in stock and options grants. It’s not real money yet. It’s not money that could have been spent on things or profits that could have been realized.

If the stock tanks like Lemmy users believe it will, it’ll be considerably lower compensation. This is typical for a CEO and not scumbaggy on its own. You typically want the CEOs compensation to be heavily impacted by company performance. This is how that’s achieved.

This matches my experience, as well.

I recall something about this with Boris Johnson being intentional. That may be what’s happening here. It’s so bad that your political opponents fixate on it, and half the articles written about you are about your dumb looks instead of your monstrous policies.

My VW is like this as well. I don’t like it either.
