Right. Paid advertisement is the next best thing :) Especially since they're already paying the streamers to play their games, it makes sense to provide an optimized game rendering mode for this.

What solution for this "problem" would the author accept? The offenders would have to be denied internet access or computer ownership as far as I can tell.

This is not about streaming a game running on a remote machine for personal use. It's about streaming a recording of you playing and commentating to viewers. This is a big part of modern gaming culture that video game producers are not

The hardest part about quitting weed for me was terrifying, vivid nightmares. Ironic considering how these "hallucinations" are an order of magnitude more powerful than any you would get from the drug itself. I relapsed several ti

If the child would die without the parent you would. Maybe not for petty crimes, but if the parent is a murderer they need to be in prison. If they are in prison, the fetus needs to be in prison to escape death.

It has approximately zero value for doing the job of software development vs. equivalent time spent with actual work experience. It has value otherwise, but I'm really not concerned about that when hiring my future coworkers. There are

Some of the best engineers I've ever worked don't even have a bachelor's degree. These autodidacts will suffer greatly if the wrong kind of "software guild" gains control over licensing tech employees.

Thank you for your comment. It's not often someone tries to empathize with someone on the opposite side of an argument. Especially on the internet. Indeed, I saw things I hope to never see again.

If the inherent nature of bacon creation or trade caused a pandemic, and there was no reasonable way to mitigate it, it should be banned. If it can be mitigated, it should be! Why has this not happened in China? I know we Americans love our

The actual correct alternative would have been to not freak out about COVID. I can understand the first 3-6 months of restrictions. The rest was a total own-goal. A politicized circus. At least we didn't own ourselves for almost 3 year

Well, aren't you lucky that the rising cost of basic and essential goods isn't a strain on your personal finances.

"Had we instead given that money directly to teachers" You mean the people who went to great lengths to be considered non-essential, so they could work remotely? We know the result of that was historic learning loss for American c

We gave out a bunch of free money during the pandemic. What was the result of that?

China restricted their entire society for almost 3 years, yet they've done ~nothing to shut down wet markets or convince average Chinese that wild/exotic meat is dangerous. What conclusions should we draw from this?

Most people in the 21st century want to believe we have forever conquered such things. Even after COVID-19, many believe that if we had just tried a little harder we could've turned back the tide. I hope we remember the utter failure o

No, I was casting doubt on this: "Controlling the illegal wildlife trade would require a huge government commitment which doesn't seem like a viable option." Why isn't it viable if it would prevent a pandemic? They alrea
