American employers don’t even give you this anymore. You are escorted away by security and someone else empties your shit into a box and hands it to you in the lobby. They are very afraid of sabotage.

Not long at all. Add criminal charges and extradition orders by LA prosecutors against the devs for good measure.

Mismanaged or embezzled?

He means rewrite every narrative to his liking, like the benevolent god-sage he thinks he is.

Seems like a signal jammer is something someone would want if they wanted to fight back against an occupying force that heavily relies on radio communication.

Typically that is a customer-provider relationship, and ideally (but probably not in reality) that relationship is tightly regulated. At best this move is a breach of ethics.

Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power

-Benito Mussolini, some dude who probably knew something about fascism

I think basically everyone except North Korea is. Anyone who allows goods and people to move through their borders with any level of freedom can theoretically get attacked like Russia did.

I’d imagine it’s a fool’s errand to try and find threads of logic and consistency in the profoundly schizophrenic.

Anyone who builds tools explicitly for mass surveillance of the public is a collaborator, no matter who writes their paycheck.

And don’t let the narrative be “MegaCorp built these tools.” No, human beings with names and ostensibly consciences built these tools for MegaCorp. They are just as guilty if not more so.

Developers like this should be considered collaborators with fascist elements.

Just like the American Confederacy, there is a sizeable “lost cause” myth surrounding white-colonized South Africa and Zimbabwe/Rhodesia among racists. This is simply an offshoot of that rotten tree.

They expect you to die of starvation, disease, and infighting. If you choose to lunge at them, they hope to have a network of automated weapons to drop the god particle on your peasant ass.

Once they no longer need your labor, you are an externality to them. A cost to be cut.

I would think drifting runs the odometer higher because your wheels are spinning like in a burnout while moving a comparatively short distance.

I’m afraid replacement parts may not merely go up in price, but many could simply disappear from the American market. Higher prices quash demand, and importers may make the strategic decision to stop delivering less popular secondary SKUs if it doesn’t make financial sense.

one of their in-house artists, or a furry artist

Probably one and the same.

Its a problem with basically all the post-communist states. When the soviet world collapsed it left a lot of early computer professionals, if not outright intelligence officers, out in the cold, and many of them turned to crime to support themselves. That fostered the environment of hacking and scams that exists today.

The one time my steam account was getting hammered with access attempts, they were from Serbia.

Bike cuck vibes

Yeesh. So what’s an alternative?

They even kept the year, so uncreative

They just feel confident in their progress timeline, given recent events.
