one way of complying would simply be to only sell a 1-mo. "lease" to your game. You don't own it, and at some point they stop selling more leases, and then kill the game.

I prefer this route, to be completely honest with you. it will be easier for me to tell which games are just trying to suck dollars out of me and which games want me to just have fun.

thanks

I found the exact page you're talking about, I think: https://www.finance.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/content/ACSRI/12.1.2023%20CUAD%20ACSRI%20Divestment%20Proposal.pdf

THIS is the missing piece to the story for me, thanks!! although I can't find where this was rejected, can you?

when you say not outlining their assets, do you mean not delivering a financial statement? cause here is the page for them: https://www.finance.columbia.edu/content/columbia-university-financial-reports

and here is the file directly leading to their most recent financials, which does talk about their assets (45 pages): https://www.finance.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/content/Finance%20Documents/Financial%20Reports/Columbia%20University%20FY23%20Financials%20Signed[9].pdf

there are two pages in particular that discuss divestment. the notable investments policies page that can be accessed here: https://www.finance.columbia.edu/content/relevant-investment-policies

the other one I spotted was under the social responsible investing dropdown, which details how to submit requests in order to divest: https://www.finance.columbia.edu/content/proposal-submission-guidelines

I am very confused with this whole situation. I feel this protest shouldn't have gotten out of hand like it did because there are channels to properly divest.

am I missing a crucial part of why events played out like it did?

I'm not sure what your point is.

am I missing something here? I am so confused about everything that's going on. columbia has been divesting for years now, here is the page:

Point 3: the university provides funding to weapons manufacturers that are selling weapon systems to the IDF

source? columbia university outlines their investments and they do not state this point at all

theyre sinking too much money trying to avoid using activitypub

good boy

thank you king

didn't read the article, but to answer the headline: no.

xbox is backed by Microsoft, one of the biggest companies on the planet. if xbox was going to go away, it would have happened during the Xbox one lifecycle, in my opinion.

thanks for this! I've always wanted to get started on my own self hosting solution

my answer: stock market prices are set at what people "feel" the stock price should be at. and that's all there is to it.

see: gamestop

yup, still deal with this every day. when I catch myself doing it, I correct it. it's getting easier, though!

I have it on and use it just to see how terrible it is tbh, I get a laugh at how inaccurate it is every time 😂

my steam library on my xbox, yes please 🙏

yup, and some people just can't see they're being played for fools... how do we stop this? like, what else are we to do other than vote?

No one should be applauding what has happened to Trump or his associates. Our country is so divided that we should all be sure we are standing for the "traditional" rule of law and we should not be accepting any ruling that has politicized the law no matter what side of the political spectrum we are associated with.

couldn't have said it better myself, DJ from the comment section. the fact that Giuliani continues to say things like the "Biden regmie" to trick conservative supporters is disgusting, but what else is someone like him going to do when they are this desperate..

good luck 👍
