That is not, and does not in any way resemble, informed consent. Informed consent is the only possible valid standard. You cannot possibly be capable of declining to know without knowing what you're declining.

The worst part is that it's just normalized enough that you can't really call it out.

Not consciously knowing doesn't mean their brain isn't affected.

Not telling them is gaslighting whether they're consciously aware or not.

I did. Your solution is not acceptable. It is not theoretically possible to give informed consent not to be told, because you unconditionally have to have the details to be capable of making the decision.

Am I advocating for forcing adults into therapy? Obviously barring court ordered therapy, no. But children are not capable of making that decision and it is not theoretically possible that an adult who doesn't want to inform them is acting in their interest. Not getting a child rape victim therapy is child abuse.

Informed consent to not know is not even theoretically within the realm of possibility. There's a reason informed consent is always the requirement for all treatment. It's because no one else can possibly be justified in making the decision.

The patient must be informed on reality in order to be capable of choosing a path forward. They cannot possibly make decisions while being lied to.

The trauma happened. Gaslighting them into thinking it didn't can't make them better. Your brain still processes shit whether you're consciously aware of it or not.

There is no possible healthy path forward that doesn't involve knowing reality. "Not wanting to know" isn't possible without knowing what you supposedly don't want to know. Not telling them is not, under any circumstances, forgivable.

They have to know, and they have to have to get therapy. There's no other path to recovery.

The theory is that your body's circadian rhythm reacts to blue light, so lowering the amount of blue light makes it less likely to disrupt that rhythm.

Last I was aware the actual evidence was a mixed bag.

That's genuinely entirely insane.

Not notifying them should be a serious crime with no defense or mitigating factors and an extremely long minimum sentence.

They have to know.

I don't understand the argument against it.

It's their body. They don't just have a right to know. They need to know.

lol the inflammatory bullshit title already decided it.

My habit of collapsing long sections so it's less annoying to scroll probably doesn't help either, but whatever.

Not bricked.

Still bad, and you lose your data, but if the phone can get to recovery mode and install an OS again, it isn't bricked.

I don't disagree with that. But he's almost definitely responding to all the vitriol directed at employees losing their jobs as a result of bad decisions passed way down the chain to them, and this article is trying to make it some gotcha hit piece.

I do think being in charge of monetization at a company that does so in the way almost any AAA studio does is an inherently unethical job and will have a hard time feeling sorry for him personally, since he's willing to do that job, but people are also being miserable assholes to everyone else who just is trying to work on a game for a stable employer. And all he's actually saying is "maybe don't be an asshole to people".

He's very clearly talking about celebrating people losing their jobs, and does so without saying anything super crazy.

If you're ever arguing over "what should the Bible be", they already won.

There isn't a legitimate scenario where you can ask it.

The Trump bit is an important part.

State sponsored religion is a more important part. "What are the right specifications for a bible in schools?" isn't the right question.

Fuck the Trump part.

Why are there Bibles in classrooms?

What they need is an optional way for the client/server to collapse/merge similar links into one "post".

I haven't blocked people.

I do extremely liberally block communities, though. I need all with the lower volume here and there's a lot I'm just not interested in.

What they needed was a lot less empty planets and a lot more that looked populated (not occupied by a small outpost; populated, by a civilization).

The beauty of Skyrim (and I guess fallout, though I hated the guns so much I struggled to ever get into it) was that you could just wander if you got bored. You'd just point yourself in a random direction and see what popped out as interesting. Many of those places would be moderate sized cave systems that brought you out somewhere completely different, where you were free, again, to just pick a direction and explore.

It doesn't feel like exploration to go to an empty map with a base that you kill everything in, then backtrack back to your ship every time.

I had to make a separate exclusive category on goodreads just to keep this piece of trash out of my read pile.

It's called power vs force, it's some dumpster fire pseudo-science that's really just vague ramblings of nothing. Don't read it. Seriously.
