Is that simply an argument for open borders?

I'm skeptical anyone wants to actually pay these workers as citizens. It seems the system is dependant on them being undocumented so that labor laws won't apply. It seems to me the system is currently working to maximize profits, which incentivizes having groups of workers with less rights than others whether its here or abroad.

Its yogurt!

If I dont think people should be able to stay here illegally, but I dont think its right to deport them or make them citizens, then what's the solution? I can't tell if people here are simply arguing the system should be left as it was before trump and ICE caused all this or if there is a goal to work towards.

Its simple advertising. If you have to log in once a week or month or however often, and scroll through their store to click on the free games, a good percentage of those will actually buy something based on what they see. Whether its purchased at egs or somewhere else makes no difference.

Besides all that, having it installed on a device means epic can gather information about you while its running, even if you only open it to collect free games.

Thr bottom line is if it cost epic money to give away free games, they simply wouldnt do it, but as it stands it works out fantastic and a bunch of gamers have no idea they are being tricked at all. Thats more than enough reason to simply avoid egs altogether in my opinion.

If steam goes down they aren't going to mass delete everyone's libraries. I'll still have terabytes of games that just need a crack now.

I understand people like free stuff but how does it not immediately draw comparison to drug dealers giving out testers for free. When is free shit ever not nefarious?

Even on one of epics own games, Rocket League, the experience is far better on Steam if you were lucky enough to buy it when it was still listed there. Epic launcher is a piece of hot garbage, and the free game aren't worth it to me. I also wonder if there are other consequences to this pricing model, similar to concerns about gamepads.

You should use a third party password manager. You can still add extensions to librewolf.

All bottling means is that you are choosing when to deal with something. I agree it isn't negative on its own.

Would you argue for bottling things up indefinitely in some situations?

The people commenting on here are unhinged. Clearly a lot of "I was treated poorly by my boss so you should deal with it too" energy.

I saw someone imply it couldn't be bad unless you were being physically threatened with a knife at work. Ive seen people say you should just say how you feel when you feel it, but that won't change the main problem here which is that its not okay for a supervisor to treat people poorly.

Nothing you change about yourself will change your supervisor. People quit managers not jobs, in most cases. It wouldnt be unreasonable to look for other work or to request a change in supervisor/team.

I'm not sure why you are getting down voted so hard for this. You are describing a very direct awful relationship thats unavoidable. Sort of like an abusive parent.

I would advise you try to find another job, or if you can move laterally in the company that might get you to a different supervisor.

Also, your supervisor can go fuck themselves in their own face.

Are you arguing they should have built a test that makes AI perform better? How are you offended on behalf of AI?

Its not hard to maintain those requirements though. Sure its used to mislabel positions like you say, but plenty of correctly labelled positions are abused as well. Salary means extra work with no pay regardless of whether you meet the requirements.

You need to read about how salary positions work in the states. Its entirely legal to fire someone who's on salary for refusing to volunteer extra unpaid time. They also aren't owed overtime in a lot of cases although there was law passed that limits that to only affecting higher earning people.

Salary workers are exempt from overtime in most cases and its legal to fire them for not working extra hours voluntarily, at least in America.

They do that to a degree but its uaully still discounted, just not as much as you think. I work in a store that price matches amazon and we had to resticker 20 times as many products as on a normal day.

They aren't producing that meat for the fun of it, despite so much going to waste. Its still true that less meat would be produced if less people purchased it long term.
