The CEO already talked about, and then walked back after backlash, a subscription mouse. Sounds like they're going forward without saying anything this time.
Someone else will eventually figure it out. They probably have less scruples and will therefore profit.
Seems to me like there's always an incentive structure for prisoner's dilemma type shit to eventually pay off for the authoritarians in the end. You can play the game, but you can't break it or stop or from being rigged without consequences. Even just releasing some research papers will get you a few decades in the fed.
MMA has an interesting trajectory where people actually didn't know which style would win at first. Dudes in gis would actually fight some dude in kickboxing gear. Look up some old MMA fights and you'll see the fights were usually awkward and bad.
Someone else called out in this thread that the rules of MMA influence what wins. I think that makes sense. They can't just immediately kick each other in the balls.
I say join a gym and try out a few fights just so you know what it feels like to get punched in the face, and then do like everyone else says and get good at cardio. If you have asthma carry concealed I guess.
Wow. You're right. Helping others is as politicized as abortion. One of the tribes can't even fathom uplifting their neighbors because that could be equated to socialism and it would get them kicked out of their in-group.
