“Single lunatic voted in” did a lot of damage exactly through unanimous vote. That’s how Orban stopped a lot of good things.

Unanimous vote can work with a group of maybe 5. With more than that and you always will have too much bickering and blocking.

Thing is: yes, not a beautiful face, but for sure an interesting and memorable one. I will not forget his character when I already forgot who pretty face #256 was.

I mean, we don’t want it in the hand of some entity that hallucinates, is detached from reality and doesnt care for human life, so Meh, can’t really be worse than now.

Thanks for checking the math, that is indeed an ambitious goal to reach.

Subnautica 1 and Below Zero together sold over 18 million copies, so reaching over 14 million with only one installment is doable with the bonus of being well known now, but still very ambitious.

And just to admit: yeah I also think the CEO did an overly stupid thing with that amount of money as bonus. But he also uses ChatGPT as legal advisor, so him being stupid is something we already knew.

Yeah, convenient. Just like the terrorist attacks right before the last German elections, which afterwards mysteriously stopped. But could also just be random chance of course. One data point is no data point and all.

I mean, you could see it as an investment? You know, by motivating their workers to create a very good product that then sells very well later when they are out of early access? Like a theoretical normal company should do?

From the articles I read: the three main developers didn’t deny that fact but said, they will give parts of their money to the others. And apparently they did do that for the initial money they got for selling the company to Krafton in the first place, so at least once they followed their word.

Soooo… still Elves then?

Yes, but the game was payrolled by Epic and wouldn’t even exist without them. Its different from those other instances where they threw money at a game at the end and bought the exclusivity.

Well, there are in some countries publicly owned companies, whose main goal isn’t profit generation, but providing a certain service (water or electricity provider, road work, public transport etc.) and only generate enough profit to keep it going. But those are not the majority and not the ones who are actively destroying our biosphere, so mostly not relevant.

Well, El Nino is a phenomenon in the pacific ocean. It being strong enough to have a direct effect on Europe would mean we are pretty much fucked.

Europe is mostly affected by the gulf stream, which: surprise motherfucker, is also having very strong variances due to the climate collapse in the last years.

That is not how speed works in relativity. Even moving with 10 times the speed of light, you still take “forward time” to move to your end point.

What will be happening though is that your point of reference will seem to travel backwards related to your starting point IF you travel away from your starting point.

So you move with FTL from A to B, then you will see A’s past light, which you overtook while traveling to B, arriving at B, thereby seeing your past “as happening now”, but only at point B. But the time will still be ticking forward. And while you travelled to B, you raced against the light coming from B, meaning you travelled faster into the future of B.

If you then travel back with same speed from B to A, you will still be in the future from when you started in the first place. But you will see yourself standing at B. And again, while travelling from B to A, you raced against the light coming from A, meaning you saw that future happening at FTL speed.

They explain their reasoning here in another comment.

Short version: not a corpo bot.

Then it goes completely uncontrolled into the ground and is very hard to remove. What you want to do is to seal the pipe so the back flow happens inside the facility (assuming they didn’t completely butcher the pipe installation, which… you know… isn’t safe to assume)

I think notifications don’t work in main posts, you have to write a comment with them.

Sorry to misuse your comment but I want to check if the notification is going through now. @kek_kecske_31@lemmy.world you got a notifitication now?

Hm, you put into words what always bothered me about it, but I couldn’t exactly form the words to describe it.

Nowadays I would be glad to be able to get into the nothing box again. Always on brain it is, sadly, for me.

Yes? That’s what they said?

Germany already has 2 kind of value added taxes (Mehrwertsteuer). 19 % for all general stuff and 7 % for stuff the state sees as basic needs, like vegetables. Chocolate, chips and similar things count as luxury items and get the general 19 %.

So your demand is already fulfilled.

Nah I like Operation Epstein Files much better. Better conveys why they did it and also what everybody should focus on.
