In most US cities, no, it's not an option. But we should work to make it an option :)

Just gonna copy paste my comment on a related post...

Similar shit happened when they were PUBG Corporation. Fuck these lying assholes. Player Unknown was a smart, capable dude, and they exiled him to a remote office because he got pissed at the CEO for over-monetizing things in a way that cost them players.

When they released the battle pass while the game was retail, all of the non-Korean employees nearly revolted. It wasn't smart, and it was a money grab on the players. When the team lead of market research told the product manager that the feature was a bad idea and would lose them all their Western players, the product manager got him demoted and moved to another team.

When the numbers didn't look good, the data analysts were freaking out because they couldn't deliver bad news up the chain of command, even if it was accurate.

When they acquired Mad Glory, they promised that the dev team would still be contracted to other game companies to build APIs and tools for them, keeping the game industry tooling ecosystem healthy (think op.gg). When PUBG Corporation acquired them, the company canceled their contract with Bethesda for the API they were in the middle of building and forbade them from working with other companies.

Fuck Bluehole. Fuck PUBG Corporation. Fuck Krafton. Fuck game studios in Korea. Don't play Korean games. Kpop and cosmetics and whatever are chill. Don't play Korean games. Korean game companies are fucking cancer.

Don't buy Subnautica 2. The Subnautica franchise died when Krafton became the publisher.

That's very sensible. Thank you for the explanation. A part of me is thinking "hard means opportunity," but I do computers, not physics

So... yes and no. Yes, most corporations aren't mitigating their impact as much as they could, even if trying to maximize profit.

But something like consuming red meat... if people aren't buying it, they're gonna downsize operations. But that requires a huge change in the diet of a lot of people. So like... yes, but no? If enough people change, yes, but reality suggests that won't happen, so no. I try to avoid beef, but I'm just one dude.

Here's what I don't get: methane is energy rich, and cattle produce a lot. Why the hell don't they capture the methane and sell it? Yes, combusting it produces CO2, but CO2 has a lesser impact than methane, as I understand. So it's a (minor) help for the environment and theoretically profitable. Why hasn't this been done yet???

This.

Lived in Korea for awhile, and they generally seem to not have this kind of vindictiveness or self-righteousness. They're usually like, "I dunno. Either they got a reason, or it's not worth the effort for me to do something about it."

That said, social pressure is much more effective here, so the vast majority of people fall in line. See COVID

Money. It encourages greed, but it allows us to scale exchange of goods and services far more than we otherwise could

Had to scroll too far to find Korea.

Been here since 2016. It can be tough finding a job at a not shitty company, but once you do, it's pretty sweet.

But if you're in your 20s and dating, be prepared for all the bullshit. It gets better in your 30s, though there are still customs you need to figure out.

Housing is expensive in Seoul, and real estate agents may scam you, so find a Korean friend.

Otherwise, it's great. People are nice to foreigners. Public transit in Seoul and most of the country is amazing. Everything is super convenient. You can get away without learning the language, but at least try to get to a basic level. The foreigner community is pretty cool. Healthcare is excellent. I love it here.

Bias fucking bullshit. Why is Joe Rogan named and not the podcast that usurped him? Media fucking blows

The fuck is this article? What are the differences in ideologies between the military and the government? Is there any history of this conflict? How long has this president been in office? Most BBC readers probably have no idea about anything in Niger, myself included. The article should supply at least a little of this info.

The core features of Twitter aren't rocket science, and Meta already knows how to scale. Computer science students often build tiny scale Twitter clones as a portfolio project. Another shitty take from Musk
