But then again, you did comment on what the article was about. Which would make it relevant to know what the article was about.

I'm curious. And I ask, because US politics has normalised what would be clear corruption in most other places:

Is the illegal part here spoofing Biden, or also a private company trying to manipulate the electoral process?

If its only the former, then, what an absolute shit show.

You need cattle to make a burger.

Yeah... Puuh. That's not a normal thing to say. If it's dark humor, and said with irony, it might be perfectly fine, and even funny. Because then, they don't actually mean it. But, if they do mean it? Sheesh. You dodged a poison leaded bullet.

I think it's also perfectly reasonable to say the truth instead, and replace "professional ethics" with "personal".

If they are appreciative of you, and don't truly want to do whatever it is that makes you the most comfortable or happy, they should be exposed to a learning opportunity.

If they get offended. Maybe they eventually figure out that, just maybe, you shouldn't express gratitude with selfishness.

Anyways. That's ny two cents. Say it as it is.

Until proven otherwise, I assume either ignorance or malicious intentions by those who want to rename these "problematic" terms. It does nothing to improve the actual issues.

The false pretense of having done something, is worse than doing nothing. It's just noise.

To be clear: I don't mind the changing of terms. I'm too old to care about trivial stuff like main vs master. But if the reasoning for such a change is dumb and potentially harmful, you've lost my respect.

Indeed. There is no one solution. My little island analogy was a bit too simple.

The main point is to reflect on what would happen when half the population falls outside a productive way to contribute with needs like everyone else: "Crime" skyrockets. The discussion society should have is whether or not the end result is acceptable: Half the population in poverty, and all that wealth consolidated to one family.

The sad thing is that this simplifies what is already the case. This is reality. If the average wage in the US was doubled, it wouldn't exceed anything more than the expected return for increased productivity. Which is insane

Isn't it called "rogue-like" because that last part of metaprogress was not in rogue? Maybe I'm confusing it with roguelite.

Taxing corporations a lot more, is the only way to avoid dystopia. A small island country with 100 factory workers and similar number of supporting jobs/businesses, replaces all the factory workers with robots. Suddenly, no income tax from half the population, with half the population in need of assistance.

Is there kibble with low, almost no grain percentage? For dogs there are decent options.

I cannot tell if you are trying to express agreement or disagreement, and I cannot be bothered to check your history to try and deduce which.

If it was supposedly in agreement, then I'd politely suggest you go romance a goat. Rejecting logical fallacies is not the same as disagreeing with the point they failed to make.

I'm genuinely curious. What do you mean by "We’re going to remember you collaborators."? Feel free to explain in depth, because it sounds awfully like a threat, and I've always wanted to have some dialogue with a terrorist (in the literal, dictionary definition of one, that is).

Lol. You throw out logical fallacies, then immediately play martyr. It's just too good.
