As in, even a dev, HR, etc person having worked for an online gambling company? I feel this may be a slippery slope..
- adamandsteve 7mo agoPrediction markets are far, far more slippery. Anyone working at one of these places had other options & chose to sell their morals so I think it's perfectly reasonable to not hire them.
- Chris2048 7mo agoPresumably you include anyone who worked at any FANG, or Chic-Fila, or Elon-attached corp etc etc?
- markdown 7mo agoDon't forget the janitors. They're all accomplices of the peddlers of misery.
- InsideOutSanta 7mo agoEverything is a slippery slope to somewhere. That doesn't mean you can't draw lines.
- hunterpayne 7mo agoDoesn't mean it is wise to do so either. I promise you, 5 lines of your political beliefs and I can make you look like a hypocritical and ignorant a55hole to the world. And I can do so purely with data and various ethical guidelines. I doubt you have though through most of your "beliefs" or learned of the policy consequences of many of your political positions. If you had, you wouldn't be such an absolutist. You still think you should be judge, jury and executioner over others? What are you, 6? PS Your type of absolutist moralism has been the basis for most of humanities worst atrocities, stop it...you aren't more moral than other people.
- InsideOutSanta 7mo agoI have no idea who you think you're responding to, but it's not me. Also, your angry tone won't convince anyone.
- Chris2048 7mo agook, what's buying milk at a corner shop a slippery slope to?
- InsideOutSanta 7mo agoThe extermination and/or enslavement of all mammals.
- Chris2048 7mo agoOh, so the slope doesn't need to be plausible?
- amrocha 7mo agoActions have consequences. You can justify your actions however you want, and I can judge you for them.
- Chris2048 7mo agoI'm not sure what this moralising adds to this conversation, I was talking about hiring practises.
