Maybe Goldman Sachs. Manipulation of many markets, both contributed to and profited from the 2008 crash. Which they paid a $550mil settlement for when they’re like a $100bil company. Imagine making $50k a year, committing fraud (“misleading its investors”) at a national scale affecting millions, and getting fined $250.
Also manipulation of gas prices, food supply/prices, insider trading, they’re just the freaking worst.
It’s terrifying that this is plausible.
Damn I feel that
Valheim is one of the better in the genre. Idk why but the building is so satisfying!
Yeah it’s meant to be satire
A less secure version of S4, the Super Simple Storage Service.
I mean…artists should be paid for their work right? Fuck Nintendo, but that same logic could be applied to anyone. I’d be pissed if someone just straight up lifted my designs and resold it.
You make a great point, and the title of the article is misleading at best, really just plain wrong IMHO. But the title also doesn’t state he isn’t invested in the stock market, only that he doesn’t own any individual company stock.
Personally, I think this version is the most fair way for politicians. On one hand, any investment for them gives them incentive to put market health (money) over their constituents. On the other hand, investing in a 401k or mutual fund is something everyone should do, how else will you afford retirement?
“Foreign” in this context just means “not Crowdstrike”, not like a foreign government.
A lovely lady behind the Wendy’s
Scrolled through a ton of comments but honestly this sums it all up for me. Lemmy isn’t large enough to support niche memes and content.
To my shame, I’m still deeply ingrained in the Google ecosystem. I settled on it like 8-10 years ago and I’m not sure how to dig myself out of this pit. More than Chrome, I heavily use Docs, Sheets, Drive, Wallet, YouTube, Gmail, I even have a Pixel (I hate how bloated Samsung is).
I’ve used Firefox a little for work because of the nice containers feature. Is Google Drive bad too? It’s so easy to share things, I torrent a lot of books and I’ve shared with a bunch of friends, idk if there’s an alternative that others could easily use.
You should really talk to HR. If you’re super duper non-confrontational, I see maybe two other options:
Chastise Ann for not having your back. Make her tell Ned to stop being a creep
Talk to Ned’s boss informally and say Ned has made uncomfortable comments/advances.
I had to look this up, didn’t know about Bowie. He had underage groupies, at least as young as 15 (Lori Mattix). Apparently she remembers that time fondly, but today we would rightly call it coercion and pedophilia. She was treated kindly, probably given all the drugs she “wanted”, but that’s still a child.
There’s a counter argument about how later in life, he refused a kissing scene between him and Jennifer Connelly during Labyrinthe, and that shows he understands the age gap is wrong.
I don’t regularly listen to David Bowie. I can sometimes separate the art from artist, but I’m now gonna have trouble knowing he was having sex with (raping) a 15 year old girl.
Eric Clapton is super racist, John Lennon abandoned his kid.
As a counterpoint, I like it in video games for the same irl reason: it saves time.
I do love games where it feels alive when traveling on foot/horse/etc. but I would rather fast travel if I’ve already explored it, generally speaking.
Agreed, certainly possible, but I haven’t personally granted Sync permissions to anything except notifications.
I mean yeah, it’s a closed source app. The most that could possibly be collected is your IP alongside browsing habits. Your ISP already does that and definitely doesn’t care who gets it, so anyone who is concerned already uses a VPN.
I don’t think it needs to be two separate queues, just matchmaking could add it as a preference.
What does “legally required” here mean? I assume there’s supposed to be a punishment?
