Do it. Promises from super powers are worthless. Only power itself matters. And all the other countries are aware of it too now.

What are your biggest worries and your biggest joys?

It’s not the Blizzard that used to make games we loved anymore. It’s just a name now, and behind that a corporation focused on maximum profit exclusively.

Yeah. Most people are probably experiencing the shock of what they thought the American people were vs what they are. It’s hard to understand and accept.

As foreigners, our views are heavily affected by things like Hollywood, celebrity and visibility to the “best of America”. But the bulk of America is not that, at all. So the veneer is torn away and it’s jarring to most people.

The only positive I see in all this is that we get to watch the US get what they voted for. Pain can be a teacher, but I doubt they can learn from it. Any and all agony from this will just be the other parties fault, always. Too much venom and malice in the politics and too little earnest substance.

Most Americans like and support Trump. That IS America.

Trump and team don’t need to win the election. They just need to make it tainted with enough irregularities that it forms the basis for the entire thing to be called into question. Even if that evidence is created by them. And this time they’re more prepared for that outcome. They’ve had years to work on his scenario.

The court cases and investigations will go on for years.

Doesn’t need to win a vote at all.

Huge respect to them, well done

It seems that happiness is something in one’s mind, an internal state. I’ve seen people happy who have very little, and the opposite. Happiness is therefore a perception. The mind is the lens through which we perceive everything, so focusing the lens at the right things and ensuring it’s a clean lens are the right starting point to “finding” happiness.

Cleaning the lens: Eat well, sleep well, exercise.

These three fundamentals lay the foundation of a clean lens. If you do the above, you have created the best physical conditions for your mind. You are unfortunately a chemical creature, so the physical state of your brain is critical to all pursuits, including perception of reality.

The next step is pointing the lens at the right things, stay tuned for our next episode!

That’s the next step, first we secure 4 days at same hours, then we work it down

I hope you’re right.

Agree with the sentiment for sure, but would also add that a lot of Americans like him, they LIKE what he said, he was heavily supported at last count. Even now he is supported substantially.

That is something many people need to think about. What happens next election? He won’t be the last.

Has there been any movement from those wallets in the years since Satoshi went dark?

You guarantee immunity and anonymity?

Is that the same kind of guarantee you gave about never attacking Ukraine when they gave up nukes?

We’re not going to hit those targets anyway… SO LET’S MAKE IT WAY FUCKING WORSE

I wonder if we’ll ever get to the place where people like this unexpectedly meet violent ends. They’ll sacrifice any number of lives for their shareholders interests.

Any one want to guess who will really end up paying for the price hike?

It’s not AT&T.

Let me try.

By creating a culture that singularly valued money and production over all other concerns, including the well-being of staff, Kotick created and cultivated the conditions needed for abuse to set in.

And Kotick is the kind of sociopath that leads to this when other things are swept under the rug.

Maybe it wasn’t a line item on his payslip though.

Yeah, but Kotick was not really the real issue. He’s a straw man of sorts, a target dummy, designed to draw fire for unpopular decisions.

It is the board and shareholders who massively incentivized him into that behaviour. CEOs are brought in to act in the interests of shareholders, while also abstracting them away from blame and direct culpability.

The goal of blizzard (and any other publically listed company) is wealth creation for shareholders via share price growth, not making games per se.

The CEO and his management team created this, they did not take care of the workforce, and they cultivated the most recent reputational damage.

I believe the answer is “A lot of Americans”.

Doesn’t matter, company will just try it again later in some other way. The decision making process that went along with trying to change the monetary model under the feet of developers is still there. The greed.

Corporates gonna corporate I guess.
