Just search for 4. You're almost never going to get in trouble for sleeping 2 adults and 3 kids in a hotel room for 4.

Youtube? Tiktok? Twitch?

I'm happy that there's someone out there who isn't particularly experienced with alcoholism, genuinely, but your figures are very, very off

$100 a month on alcohol is like, 5-6 low tier cases of beer. That's just 5-6 beers a day. That's alcoholism to be sure, but the degeneracy goes way, way further.

If you work at a liquor store, you'll see the grandma who comes in 3x a week to buy a cheap plastic handle of vodka. Or the guy who buys a 12 pack and two shooters, every single day. Or the new mom who goes from buying 2 bottles of wine a week to 10.

I don't deny that there's historical things to be said about light being good and darkness being bad. That definitely has nothing to do with racism. I have nothing against yin and yang etc

But modern America has a modern lens, not a 600BC lens. Why ignore that?

Somethings are definitely stupid, but I don't really see what's bad about changing whitelist. White = good and black = bad is a weird concept that when using an American lens, is hard not to see implied racism.

Plus, allowlist and denylist is simply easier to understand.

I agree that if your entire job is coming up with this kind of stuff, that's a bit ridiculous. But I don't really see anything wrong with a few engineers spending a few hours a month to push company discourse in a more egalitarian direction.

Corporations are not 100% efficient. I have seen so much favoritism in my short career. It's to be expected. A middle manager doesn't care about the company's bottom line, they care about maintaining/upgrading their own position. That sometimes means working towards the bottom line, but usually means working people relationships.

Those people relationships are affected by race gender etc. You really have NEVER seen someone get on a great project because they're better connected, even if they are a worse engineer than someone who doesn't fit in as well?

Not really. Endorsements and Advertising are a good cut of the money but most of the big money in streaming is coming directly from fans, whether through premium subscriptions or donations.

There's definitely derivative media in eSports too. Replace SportsCenter with youtube and twitch channels, and the rest is the same

I used to play Age of Empires in treaty mode. You had XX minutes where you couldn't attack one another so just focused super hard on macro. Utter chaos when the treaty period ended as everyone had max size armies. Lagged the hell out of my computer. Good times

It was a fairly popular variant of the game too, never had trouble finding matches

Obvious scams eh? Wheres your short money

I work for a crypto payments firm

We're getting there and you can already use our product at 50k+ stores in the US.

Even in this market, merchants are still interested. We launched new ones this week.

Comparing us to Visa or Paypal we are rinky dinky af, no denying that. But we are definitely growing.

Your lens of investment vs currency is also very US based. Consider countries that frequently experience huge rates of inflation. Non-fiat money can be valuable for them.

DeFi and FTX (and all the CEXs/Centralized lending platforms who credited FTX) are basically on opposite ends of the spectrum.

Most who are getting fucked by this fiasco are retail who have never touched DeFi.

Please elaborate, how is it a negative sum game?

Lol I don't really disagree with the fancy vans being outrageously overpriced but this reads as super patronizing

Makes a ton of sense. Completely absurd for security guards and administrative assistants to have non-compete clauses. Just another way businesses were trying to reduce the willingness of employees to quit so that they can suppress wages.
