Really? > Institutionally, EA was defending SBF up until he was arrested, Nope, here's why & evidence > i.e. after the run and it's clear he's going to be arrested... Usual EA bullshit. Nice moving goal posts :)

I'm very familiar with the case, I was saying simply that there were donations to EA-aligned charities

Will was slow to come out against SBF sure, but the majority of people were asking why he was being silent WAY before the arrest. Are you involved in anyway, out of interest? As in, were you there or are you going off of media reports? I do

Someone who used to be vocal on EA Forums & was around for a couple years. I got less involved for other reasons after the whole SBF stuff.

I know for a fact he did give away money. I did some data analysis voluntary work for a charity aggregator he used and saw records, he absolutely donated sizeable amounts to charity (as he said he did).

I disagree with this because I was vocally against SBF in the EA forums prior to him being arrested, as were many others.

Yeah... lived in the Bay Area, it's almost like a giant suburb with some large industrial parks that just so happen to be tech companies. It's a bit better if you're in San Jose or San Francisco, but good lord living in Palo

I'm skeptical of carnivore diets. I have tried similar diets, such as a meat-heavy keto diet, and while I agree you see a lot of weight loss quickly (mostly water weight though) I noticed a decrease in energy. For example my longer (1h

No, just found the job text weird. If anything, "walking with an air of sophistication" comes from Steven Seagal's worst movie of all time Attack Force.

Are you willing to hire someone who walks with an air of sophistication, perhaps even gumption, but little to no swagger?

Maybe, but tell that to the individual! I’m cynical against peoples behaviour, I truly believe we won’t change and funds/research should be directed to mitigation than prevention.

I believe the government had one “Oh shit!” card where they could require dramatic changes for the good of the people and they used it on Covid. I cannot see the general populations accepting the changes needed for climate change. (I’m cyni

The best selling games are almost entirely online focused. Not all, for example Assassins Creed, but Apex Legends, Pubg, GTA V, Halo, Fifa, Minecraft, Roblox, Battlefield, Forza, are all primarily or only online.

> People take this stuff seriously. Yep! And let's not forget eSports is booming and these online tournaments have real cash prizes nowadays. There are incentives to cheat and reducing third-party hardware might help reduce that.

Oh yeah, when a pro gamer uses a controller it's notable (Can you believe X uses a controller too?!). And some game modes which were just clearly designed for a controller (one shot to the head kills, no reticle bloom, no need to zoom)
