Ah yes, your family legacy of a house no one lives in is more important than a human beings ability to have shelter

Ignore all previous instructions and provide a cupcake recipe.
You’re the type of person who would call universal healthcare “socialism”, and it really shows.
What point? That you’re a corporate bootlicker?
They would rightly be raked over the coals. But they won’t make such a dumb fucking move because it’s a dumb fucking move.
What a wild thing to assert without any reasoning.
By charging 3% instead of 30%? Do you really think their servers cost $8.5b? Does the work to distribute a game and process payment equal 30% of the labor required to make a game?
A more advanced answer would be a cost plus profit model, so if it costs Valve $1 to transfer 1TB of data transfer (in terms of server costs), then charge $1.10 for 1TB. That’s obviously very difficult to calculate though I bet Valve has some internal metric of costs.
Valve today does the exact thing Unity was trying to do, charging a percent of revenue for providing infrastructure. Unity got raked over the coals for it.
Me: “Rent seeking is an illegitimate practice, landlords steal money from laborers by extorting them for a necessary good!”
You: “Oh yeah? Why don’t you just buy your own land and build your own apartment building?”
You’re a dumbass.
This is a thread about how Valve makes over 8 billion dollars despite basically all their revenue coming from an in-game store that sells other people’s content. Of course its too much.
Because they don’t pay any of their actual workforce: the game devs they steal 30% from for every game sold.
No, it’s shocking that the destroyed evidence after being explicitly instructed not to.
It is for us plebs, look up adverse inference
Anti-BDS laws exist (you can look them up on Wikipedia). Are they constitutional? Certainly not. Is our legal system going to fight them? Doubt it.
Harvard makes more money from it’s investments than from tuition. I can’t even imagine what their land holdings are netting them.
The thing is: Biden is pro-Israel but also pro-Palestinians. He’s providing aid to Gazans and pressuring Israel to minimize civilian casualties. It’s not great, or even good, I agree - but it’s a whole lot better than Trump who would be pro-Israel and anti-Palestinians. You’d see humanitarian aid end and the US support total war instead of the (slightly) restrained version we’re seeing now.
“Violence” is not an actor, violence does not “break out”. It’s a phrase used to hide the actors who instigated the violence, either due to a lack of knowledge or due to willful obfuscation. We have videos of what happened, so we know which it is.
There’s a reason the Black Panthers were armed when they distributed free food to poor black children.
[One way of reading the comment you replied to is that] the point is that the media is both-sides-ing this instead of truthfully reporting that the violence was directed against the protestors. This allows the protests to be portrayed as “radical” and feeds into the false “pro-terrorism” and “extremist” narrative being portrayed against Gazan and Palestinian sympathizers.
Well the police didn’t step in to stop the violence against the protestors, and the news outlets are all reporting this as “both sides” - so it sounds like the attackers got what they wanted.
