I'm mildly amused that you think there are any gamers on lemmy that still use microsoft. Isn't it mandatory to use linux to access the fediverse? ;)
For ubisoft, I have no idea. Everything I seem to read around here indicates most are dissatisfied ever since one of the assassin's creed games a decade ago or something.
The dedication of these individuals is noteworthy... What drives this persistence? Is it a deep-seated belief system that overrides rational analysis
It's a lovely little combo of desperation and digging themselves into a hole. Most of the elements of sovereign citizens come from people who are not in good situations, as outlined by the canadian court's very thorough opinion (which has already been linked twice in this thread, so I won't bother it again). Once you're in it, the same situation occurs that you can see with people in cults, mlm companies, or ponzi schemes. Maybe if you keep going, and pushing through the pain right now, you'll get that mythical payoff. The alternative is to face the fact that you've likely ruined your life, rendering impossible whatever you hoped to achieve in the legal system in the first place.
it’s not great to legally compel people to say things, especially when saying those things is directly in violation of their sense of ethics
Are you aware of how the mandatory reporting laws came into being? It is absolutely fucked up beyond belief. Anyone who doesn't report these sorts of crimes has no ethics.
Ah, yes... tradition! Because the way things have been done is the way they must, should, will be done! Something being wrong is still wrong despite any length of time it has been done.
It’s at this point, the close range scans indicate not just some “organic gases” but trillions of organisms , all of them alien, and worst of all, possessing a chirality opposite to your own.
Your immune system and their pathogens, and your pathogens, are wholly incompatible. You touch anything, you get sick and die, and they get sick and die.
Organisms on earth use right handed chirality without issue. Even humans manipulate some. Eating an alien would probably go poorly, but interacting with one (all you mass effect fans out there can lose the burgeoning boners, creeps, I mean in something as light as a 'handshake scenario') wouldn't be some terrible biological curse. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10851380/ I'm trying to scratch my head to remember because it's been a while, but I think there are archaebacteria that use the D forms even more than the normal incorporation into peptidoglycan. It's not a death sentence.
Pretty sure they won't be flying again. If I remember it, barring exceptional circumstances, like being shot down by your own fleet, if your plane goes down your flight days are too.
Breathing IS part of effective cpr. It is absolutely recommended. Compressions alone are better than nothing, which is why we had a brief period where that was taught for one-person-cpr (and was meant to make nonmedical personnel more likely to do SOMETHING), but anyone trained in cpr should absolutely be following the compression:breathing ratio taught in cpr classes.

Human "Well you all turn pink on your bellies when you're swimming upstream to have one last gasp of orgasmic explosion over all your future kids before dying and we try to stop you and slit open that belly to rip out your organs and pop your major blood vessel before cutting you into chunks and throwing you in a fire."
Take your bets on how long until one of the idiots tries to monetize it. You just know that several of them began filming before taking any action to save themselves.
Should be relatively simple to fuck with that interface though. After all, if you have access to the hardware, no system is truly safe. We'll have enough tinkerers and thinkers that will probably come from the same rich core that gives us FLOSS developers, and they'll have some real fun coming up with ways to fuck with anyone trying to read the machine.
