“Maybe I live in the future…”

Damn Trump must’ve won then if future people are somehow more ignorant.

Sorry brother, not my problem. I was born well after those events occurred and so did these people.

Solving the problem of having an advantage based on race is not going to be solved by giving “the right” people an advantage based on race.

Economic factors should be the most weighted if any advantage is needed to be given.

Are you including the fact that $100,000 in the 1950s is more than $1million after accounting for inflation?

According to some quick googling, $1,300,000 is the modern equivalent of $100,000 in 1950. That would put you in the top 5% earners (and very nearly in the top 1%). According to the IRS, the top 5% contribute about 65% of the tax burden.

The top 25% make up about 90% of contributions, but that starts around $70,000 annual income.

Ah yes, and when it no go it no go until go.

This is being reported poorly. This is a voluntary program that is intended for social media brand embassadors, aka, the people who go out and rep a brand. It makes sense to include some language requiring someone prepping your brand to show preferable to it.

Obviously, but we’re talking about a really, really small subset of users that probably would earn Microsoft less than a week of coffee in their corporate office.

People who are technical enough to get around the system requirements to install windows 11 on a system that doesn’t meet the minimum requirements is most likely technical enough to upgrade their own computer.

How does that make any sense? Does Microsoft get a cut of sales for component upgrades?

There aren’t even 2.9billion people in the US.

I think that’s an interesting way to look at it. I find it easier to do the mental gymnastics, as you call it.

Real talk, is there some benefit to an analog clock that would prevent them from all being replaced by digital ones? Being able to know exactly the time in a moment’s glance seems better to me.

They’re certainly not better looking than a digital one, considering most of the ones used in schools are just the cheapest and most basic version they can get.

Power requirements maybe? Longevity?

Anticheat will have to just come from other methods that people will also hate.

Imagine, for example, if they required a form of government issued ID and the account was tied to you specifically. Despite privacy nightmare that it is (plus other issues, especially around globally accessed games), bans would have significantly larger impact if they’re tied to a real-world identity.

That’s actually good context that the article doesn’t mention. Certainly very concerning.

This seems like a run of the mill news attempt at controversy for attention. None of the “controversies” mentioned are particularly egregious. I don’t think Mr beast needs me to defend him but the reactions to this seem way more extreme than the problems themselves.

How many of us know all of our friends and colleagues well ebough to know every dirty secret they have? If one of my friends were a pedophile but kept it well hidden, how am I to be held responsible for their actions when I didn’t know?

An inexperienced production crew doesn’t provide the best working conditions for a reality and stunt show? Color me surprised. Television has had shows that put people in danger for years, even from very experienced crews.

I know just about every one of us likely did or said something that was really, really stupid when we were teens. Turns out teenagers don’t have fully developed brains and don’t make the best decisions. Holding someone accountable for saying something dumb as a child, that they have publically apologized for later, seems like people going out of their way to find fault.

Dude what the fuck are you on about. Plenty of products have safety measures in place because we have federal systems to regulate them.

You can’t just cherry pick one example and then say America bad. What a fucking .ml tier take.

Guess we all missed the joke, sorry fam

I have never once received one of these messages. Doesn’t happen to everyone.

Some people just live in anger, don’t they?

If you’re going that far you could probably just pull an old cached version of the page from before it was deleted

I’m with you on embracing the privacy nightmare to kill off cheaters in games. Tie an account to a real identity and that problem will quickly reduce.
