Anyone with substantial following, who would be most likely to get snitched on with this new policy, will be making money from twitch. It doesn't matter to me how you categorize that relationship, my point is valid. "Basically emp

I'm one who mostly cares about money. It's funny that you say "career progression" as something separate from being motivated by money. I care a lot about career progression because it means more money. If I could cont

What's your point? Does it change my point if they're considered contractors vs employees vs hobbyists vs whatever?

I'm not sure why you say "arrived". People have always been fired for arrests at some companies. Twitch is basically their employer, so it's not much different here. Whether it should be allowed or not by law can be a di

I have no idea what you're trying to say with these questions if it's not to be snarky, so I'm not going to answer them. All I'm saying is that it's not productive to say that people are "brainwashed" into

This sounds deep, but these comments don't actually mean anything. We live in a practical world where "rights" are implemented with enforcement and mass acceptance. Sometimes it doesn't work perfectly. We're doing o

You can still make mistakes while not being to blame. Pointing out those mistakes doesn't change the fact that they're the victim, but it might help them or someone else later. If I leave my car unlocked with an iphone on the dash

I bet they'd move faster if they could. I'm guessing for takeoff there's a good amount of analysis to do beforehand. Terrain, weather, system checks, whatever. I don't know the actual list, but it's not hard to gues

My problem with vitamins and supplements is that the vast majority of people who take them are self-diagnosing a deficiency or listening to random people on the internet who think they're able to parse studies on their own. For anythin

Because there's no useful news. Anything and everything could be fake. Even stuff that you'd think wouldn't be fake, like Voltswagon, you apparently can't trust. And it's not even one day. It's several days bef

So I buy the Haynes book for my car, wait for it to be shipped and delivered, then finally figure out how to do what I need to do. Then I put it away for 1-5 years until I need it again, and hope I don't forget where I put it. Or you w

I'm not sure what the answer is, but something to keep in mind is that most are reboosted every once in a while. Once this happens, it should be completely off. ISS elevation chart where you can clearly see when they boosted up: https

Several companies I know seemed to lie and use Covid as a convenient excuse to not give out raises (or give shitty bonuses, etc) to save money in the short term. Meanwhile hiring and earnings don't match up to those actions.
