"Centralizing the decentralized." --(probably) Cloudflare

Can you explain to me why funneling US tax dollars to other nations is a bad thing?

Playing Deus Ex, of course.

Wow, that seems early in the days of gaming to be doing that... good entrepreneurial spirit! How did you facilitate the sale IRL (and what kind of amounts were you selling)? I'm curious!

Meritocracy be damned.

That's an interesting use of the word 'convince' you've made there.

I can't imagine proof (or the worth of proof) for something imagined.

Hence the hard pass. It's not like they are providing it for free and need to make money somehow.

"Do the right thing."

That's awesome! When I was in my early teens I went through a similar stint and also emailed him with my thoughts, kudos and thanks. Also to my surprise he wrote back with a genuine message and note.

What a guy.

... Battle Fatigue!

How cool would it be if she got hired to work on another update for Prison Architect?

I would wager that you do not have children.

Have you considered the converse of very larger companies that have a stranglehold on their market (like Walmart, perhaps) pushing for a higher minimum wage to stifle smaller businesses in the same domain?

It seems like a viable tactic, though I will admit I have not looked into it much myself.

Ouch... that's kind of bleakly sad. Reminds me of the video of a very inebriated old Polish man doing a breathalizer test who mistakenly takes a swig of the device (instead of blowing into it) and then promptly falling over. We are drunk on information.

Welding folks into their homes was a bit extreme... but at least they can get back to their normal lives now! /s

All data will be used against you!

How about a Brazillion?

Unless he's ordered to stay away from computers for that time.

Damn... you just took a pencil to space with that comment. :)

This is interesting and I'd love to hear some kind of real-science debunking (as I'm sure it would be the case)... or conversely, showing someone (via video and some kind of monitoring device) directing air in and out of one or the other nostril at will.

All cool tech aside, I'll be sure to update the single light-bulb hanging from a thread in my interrogation room now.

Can you be more specific?

It doesn't necessarily need to be about politics.

I hope it will be funny enough to draw the ire of the cancel-community.

Can you provide more some examples beyond item drops? It's easy enough to design a level with certain items laying around...

Implement this on infinite scrolling sites with sounds of crying and screaming, then we're talkin'.

... and sell!

So what you're implying is that if everyone had everything they needed (perhaps prescribed by someone else), then we would need little or no policing? No cuts, no bandage! This reminds me of the movie "The Invention of Lying" where everyone was truly honest until someone decided they could get away with whatever they wanted.

Probably. I recall Project Veritas showing hidden video of a Twitter dev speaking about databases that link all profiles of someone (using things like IPs, fingerprints, etc. to stitch the relationships together).

Who could have predicted that an overarching government program to control and regulate content on the internet is failing?
