So what, then bribes and intimidation just… aren’t actually effective ways of bending morals?
I gotta say I have 0 papers backing me, but I feel like the fact that the very concepts are words in the English language carries some weight.
… How much are you willing to overlook to keep yourself from going homeless?
There just ain’t enough protection for whistleblowers right now.
I’m not. What do you get as a reward for blowing the whistle? Genuinely?
There’s no bounty, even if there was you wouldn’t get it for at least a year after you blow the whistle.
Once it’s discovered it’s you, you’re fired. There goes your paycheck, your health insurance. Now your home is in jeopardy and you have no decent income verification to get a new one.
Good luck working in any job even remotely related to what you know. You now have a stigma in any background check and while a privately owned mom & pop might look at you favorably, there ain’t a single corporation who will take pride in hiring you. You’re risky.
The most ethical person, is one with no debt, who owns their home, and has 8 months expenses saved up. That’s not most Americans right now.
On the bright side, centrists are getting split between Biden and Kamala.
Let them bicker amongst themselves for once. The rest of us can unite for once.
… Ok well here’s the link to the moment (in the video you watched) where we have one **staff ** member giving an official response to how LTT interpreted the problem in a forum post on their website.

And here’s a link to their youtube channel where they talk about honey

You’ll notice. There isn’t one.
So for at least two years, they knew honey was stealing affiliate links and considered it a big enough problem to end their partnership, but did not consider it a big enough issue to make a video on it.
I think what was truly surprising is that they were bought for 4 billion.That much money for… basically an out and out scam. Paypal is that sure that it’s:
entirely legal
Will never be stopped
will return on a 4 billion investment.
seriously… did you watch the video?

Here. Here’s a link to the exact moment that entire chapter starts.
I actually heard she’s aiming for a governor spot.
I don’t think it’s an unreasonable ask either, but from what I understand, Valve is incredibly libertarian, like more than the libertarian party libertarian. Their politics and policies are freedom freedom freedom, and any form of regulation is sheer anathema to them.
Oh, never even heard about mbin. I just now the same error has been on kbin for 8 months now
I honestly think southern states haven’t shaken off the notion of mudsill theory.
They might not call it that anymore, but god damn does their entire platform seem to push it.
Indeed the amount of streamers and conservatives gushing about Japan right now is kinda surreal.
Like they genuinely thought the US has a monopoly on freedom -_- name a western country that ain’t.
maybe, but I came from kbin. which I now consider dead and gone.
RIP
I mean, yeah, but we aren’t doing much to prepare. With covid we had mask shortages, ventilator shortages, with a for profit Healthcare system the incentives to have more than you need are low. Even now a hurricane has given us an IV fluid shortage because it’s all built in one place.
I know we’re paying attention to emerging viruses but when it finally happens are we just gonna watch a train wreck in slow motion? You think this doge committee is going to maintain that?
How come nobody wanted to talk about that during the election? What did we learn from covid and how should we react next time?
I was literally just thinking that.
If we get ANOTHER pandemic after putting absolutely no effort in improving world healthcare… God that’d be so depressing.
You don’t share food if you’re starving. You don’t share time if you work 12 hour days, every day.
If you spend all your energy on survival, you got no energy to spare on anyone else. I bet our hypothetical starving person would be moral and share, if they had the chance and materials.
If they don’t… then it’s not a matter of won’t it’s can’t. People are more likely to share food they have excess of, time they have excess of. If they can’t spare it, they won’t.
