Adjuster is a class in an MMORPG I assume?

Exactly that. And anyone shutting down the conversation is just siding with them.

Not the point of the admin post up top, mind you. As so often, if you're an adminsitrator, it really does not matter fuck all what you think about an issue, it's what your server wants to, can or has to think about an issue.

Public healthcare is against the TOS to mention? 😱

So obviously the last part can be turned around, right? If we had reason to assume you kill 5 people later in your life, it's worth killing you now, right? Or what is the cutoff value?

(mind you I'm not disagreeing with the underlying statement, but who gets to make the judgement call?)

Yeah, if you run an instance, and you decide this is a hobby for you not your main job and you're also not a lawyer and hence you just go "Sorry, all denied" then honestly, more power to you. It's a hobby, not a job. If anybody disagrees, they have just volunteered to be the named person of legal representation for this instance, tbh.

What would you prefer then?

This is not TikTok, btw.

Personally my big takeaway from the comments here is that either many people think administrating a large internet platform is a joke and happens on its own and you don't find 10+ legal notices in the PO box every week, or that - and I've read about this before - reading comprehension in the english-speaking world has fallen dramatically in recent years and people are genuinely unable to read paragraphs of text of non-trivial content and/or shifting subjects within same sentences, something you learn around 6th grade in school but sadly rarely need after school in modern times.

Imagine being unable to read, and wanting to still take part in a text-based platform. Are you that one user who swipes images in card view all day they had in the stats the other day?

You mean fortunately, considering what a joke they are in the US? 😂

Yeah it also makes sense logically because the law as written assumes death to be inherently negative (see also assisted-suicide issues in many countries). But of course it makes sense for the law to assume this, as otherwise people would find loopholes.

See, and this is why other countries have different laws, because the last part in particular is not protected in most countries.

How would that work? Who would resolve it?

That actually looks pretty neat. I still prefer Ring-Fit, but it's of course getting very samey very quickly. This seems like a neat change of pace.

Or they're all americans! Ha! Need to create tiktok videos to hold their attention for the 2.3 seconds I'd have.

I saw one that had a different relative say he was an honest person and hard worker.

CEO

Which one was it now?!

The thing is, if you don't want to be a billionaire then that still leaves you - assuming normal rounding - with ~500 MILLION of wealth. If you can't snort all the cocaine you'd ever want in your life from that amount, I don't know...

Who says we’re not supposed to celebrate when an asshole dies? We celebrated for Hitler and Kissinger

I'd be more nuanced. I don't mind him being dead, but I don't celebrate it either, because it took out the public-display figure instead of the people (shareholders) that actually cause the practices.

It still should. The paradox of tolerance just means you have to not tolerate the intolerant, not actively mock them. I mean sometimes that can be fun, but let's be honest, they even took out the wrong guy (they'll just get a new CEO who'll hardline the stance even more and waste money on a ton of bodyguards, hopefully at least Gaddafi-style). Should have gone after the shareholders, that'll really hurt the business model after all. The CEO is just a representative figure who puts his name under decisions that are 99,5% not driven by him.

Was is still the correct choice to take him out because he is a billionaire and a murderous asshole? I'll say no, because I don't believe in death penalty on account of it being too lenient. Should have thrown him down a well and let him starve slowly, or at least delivered death by immurement or something. Something slow, ideally decades slow. But that's besides the point, overall he also deserves fuck all sympathy because he was still a) a billionaire and b) the CEO of one of the most cruel companies around, rivaling black ops stuff and far outdoing them in the lives lost to their practices.

The one big difference I can think of is that Hitler's death did something. This guy here, he's a CEO. Was it morally acceptable for him to die? Sure, he caused thousands and thousands of deaths by his company leadership, after all. I'd prefer something else, but I won't miss him, either.. But sadly it only frees up a marginal portion of their wealth, and that wealth just goes to other rich assholes.

To take down the corrupt part, you have to get rid of the shareholders and moneygivers, which sadly are quite a few.
