...and what does that have to do with what i said?

Yes, that's literally the point. Virtue signalling is only bad if it's some weird, secret, sneaky bullshit or just straight up lies.

If you leave a company saying "you guys don't support my values," that's just them telling you to eat shit.

...you're joking, right? Electing the convicted rapist, convicted fraudster, racist, sexist, wannabe dictator that literally tried to lead a coup four years ago didn't tip you off?

I just sort by recent and that's it 🤷‍♂️ if it falls off and I forget about it, I guess it's gone

What?

It's literally censorship, but I argue it's acceptable - even desirable and laudable - censorship

Nah Meta is widely regarded as one of the best employers in the world

lolwut

They pay a lot, but everyone knows they're overworked like hell. Meta is a shit-tier employer, but if you're a young masochist then they're worth a few years to pad your accounts.

"Alpha male" basically translates to toxic masculinity, and "beta male" basically translates to anyone who respects other people in any way. It's the callsign of pieces of shit like Andrew Tate, who is a human trafficker and serial sexual abuser currently in prison awaiting trial in... I think it was Croatia?

He doesn't know what it means to be cool, so he's hoping that just declaring that he's cool will be good enough to make him popular.

The problem is that the kids who try this strategy almost universally cannot pick up on social cues, otherwise they would understand that it will always lead to the opposite result. People who seriously say out loud that they're alpha males are pretty much exclusively losers or scumbags.

How much control does Canada have over the provinces? Cause I'm not interested in slightly-Canadian Texas, they gotta go further than that.

The easiest way I could describe it, is that the languages are much, much more similar. Translating for the switch is like going from Spanish to Latin, while the N64 is more like going from Chinese to Latin - much less 1-to-1 and objective.

Nah, I'm still giving that one to the blockchain. LLMs are going to be useful for a while, but Ethereum still hasn't figured out a real use, and they're the only ones that haven't given up and moved fully into coin gambling.

The best part is that this really is correct, at the heart of it.

Yes, they do. That's how solvency works.

Why have a phone with a screen? Just use your computer if you need it, smh 🤦

Why have a phone at all? Just ask a friend to use theirs if you need it 🤷‍♂️ or maybe write a fucking letter for once? Damn kids...

I legitimately can't spell it out any better, I'm sorry, but that was my last hailmary

Then you really should take some more classes 🤪

A lender only has so much money, and they can lend that money to anyone. If someone defaults on a loan, the lender experiences a relatively large opportunity cost, as additional funds, effort, and time are required for any repo or garnishing - and in the end, it's quite rare to actually recoup it all. If they had lent that money to someone else, they could have gotten all the money without any additional cost.

It gets more complicated in the middle - someone who pays extra and on time won't make nearly as much as someone paying minimums.

Loaners want people's credit scores as high as possible, so people borrow more, and pay more interest.

This is just inane. Credit score doesn't determine how much you can borrow, the lender's interpretation of the score does. They can literally just do this, with no changes to any laws.

Credit scores are just a metric used by lenders. They decide what it means to them, and the whole point is to avoid offering loans to people who are likely to default on them.

Who does this cover, like 20 people?

Downside is, that devs actually need to promote their stuff instead of completely relying on just being discovered on the platform

If it's easier to get on the platform, but it requires that you spend the same amount on marketing as development, is it actually easier to get on the platform? Sounds like the worst of both worlds for everyone except Valve.

That's not a good thing. The Steam store sucks these days, there's far too much complete shit
