Considering Moon Channel’s video on South Korea (tldw; he explains around 24:40 in the video how strongly neoconfucianism became the state ideology and that still endures to this day - and how highly important hierarchy is), I would say that yes, an underling would NEVER dare go against someone above them.

Even the Playstation Home lasted longer

zuckerbot needed friends just like him, so he bought them

I wonder if John Carmack is among them? I remember him complaining that internal politicking made any kind of progress like wading in mud

Google won’t be happy with this, so I’m all for it!

I don’t know why you’d think that, Human McHuman, YesImHuman, NotaLizard, NotaRobot, Normal Man, CEOsRPeople, MeritocracyWins are all owned by zuckerbot

Why kill only one when you can do a whole blast and get a multi-kill?

So, per the article, mr CEO didn’t want to pay the devopers their well earned extra from hitting a sales goal, so the wooden doll asked chatGePeTo how to avoid that. Even Gepeto said that it was going to “be difficult”, but Kim Becile insisted on a plan.

The first step was posting a message on Subanutica’s website to get fans on his side. According to court documents, Kim said the goal of the message was to “secure public support from fans and legal validation of our legitimacy.” He then suggested that ChatGPT write it for him. It achieved the opposite of his intended goal. Fans found the message bizarre and worried about the future of the game. Those fears were compounded when Kim fired the game’s original creators and entered into a legal battle with them.

I’d like to meet a CEO of a similar megacorp that isn’t both a complete fucking idiot AND an absolute psychopath. Surely there has to be one?

Pretty sure AI would’ve said that with a much longer comment, likely 500 words at least

Can you lend me the multiverse jumper? I can’t get mine to work at all

Being fired is even better, that means you can ask for a higher pay when they inevitably ask you to return

It’s really weird that most laws think that two companies are in a “competing market” despite having the same parent company or controlling group

I’m actually playing Shadows of the Empire on PC for the first time, am on the first Coruscant level (sewers). I think the worst the game had is behind me (Gall Spaceport and Beggar’s Canyon).

I think the 2nd to last mission, you just chose to be good or evil by killing/sparing your douchey friend who was getting all dark side first. Then the last mission plays out mostly the same, but if you’re evil everyone attacks you.

One of my favorite missions was the one where you piloted the swoop bike, the slowmo killcams when you sabered enemies were always fun.

He’s not amused

It’s where I learned that “XD” was a smiley-laughing face. Ah, to be a young preteen having his first introductions to certain internet slangs

I also enjoyed doing that trick where if you strafed right at the right time after the saber was coming back to you, it’d keep circling you.

Even up to the prequel era (~2005), Star Wars games were mostly awesome.

Don’t have money? Time to increase your debt!!

I usually get captchas when browsing as incognito or if I leave the page unattended for 5+ minutes

Only half true, not every western society was made entirely of arranged marriages; those were the norm in aristocratic circles, but for people closer to the bottom of the pyramid it wouldn’t matter as much.

Women always had less rights in general in the west, especially after Christianity took over, but it wasn’t a case of “every woman has always been at a real peril of being killed if they’re seen openly flirting with a man” - similar to how not every Christian country has made prostitution illegal, not even back in colonial times, or how even when it was, it wasn’t equally enforced everywhere.
