Oh I do, I just hope you take this instance to mind the next time you decide whether to comment based on the article or the auto generated summary.

Most folks would just say "my bad, I didn't read the article"

Thank you!

I spent a few minutes googling what the source for the movies is, with no luck. Any insight?

It has been tested, in the field nonetheless

I mean a quick Google shows that it's a very real capability, but if you don't want to believe, you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink.

Initially agree with you, but I think sokkas placement was in direct contrast to katara, since they share so many similarities in life. Mai doesn't really mind her life IIRC.

Used my credit to buy my mom a new phone.

Google did a solid in this case.

I miss advice animals...

That's... That's not what they said at all LOL.

Do you honestly think if Mr beast blipped out of existence that the government would step in to do all those things?

Hyperloop fucked us, true, but it feels like the campaigns Mr beast goes on aren't really interfering with government decisions.

How DARE he provide voluntary game show contestants that chance to win money as well as the ability to walk away at every moment.

It's almost as if the contestants have their own motivations and reasons driving their willing participation in the video.

Like, honestly, half the times that shit just sounds fun. Wife and I found out that NASA was literally doing the same thing as the 100 days in a box challenge as part of a simulation for mars, and we were hyped to do it. Throw in a cash incentive? Even better.

But here's the kicker: if we weren't going to do it together, we wouldn't want to do it, and that's A VOLUNTARY DECISION I JUST MADE. Some folks would have fun participating given their situation. This isn't squid games where participants are facing harm.

OP is just mad. Their arguments really remind me of "the unborn are a convenient group of people to advocate for". You'll notice OP has absolutely no evidence that the participants believed they were taken advantage of.

EDIT: I googled "mr beast taking advantage of contestants" and the results are generally: others taking advantage of Mr. Beast and discussions about the morality of Mr Beast, but I don't see an article about how a contestant says they were taken advantage of.

Are you more likely to do x again if you got 100k for doing so vs nothing?

We both know the answer to that.

So does getting paid mean x gets done more often?

Does that mean it's better to be paid?

I run audiobookshelf with drm free audiobooks, but the nicest thing about kindle/audible is the syncing that happens between them - read on an e-reader, and your progress in the audiobook gets updated.

Anyone know of a solution that provides similar capabilities?

So you just kept saying no until they brought you a nice phone?

Seems like a great way to get unexpected monthly charges for a nice phone on your bill.

R&D, baby

Yeah, it was interesting, some of the comments here mentioned the price as being too high, I looked at the price and immediately thought "this is going to be vaporware"

The point is now a LOT more people can crank this stuff out, resulting in saturation

I find that a lot of getting to know your coworkers as individuals, and not simply "the person in charge of that account" depends on face to face communication.

When I'm working remotely, the moment a meeting ends, I'm outta there.

Pretty much the only IMs I send are strictly work related - there's not much water cooler talk, not much griping, because it's all recorded (or can be) when working remotely.

As always with krazam videos, the ratio of how good this is to how many people I can show it to is ridiculous.

Waitaminute am I the guy in this video?
