You should put in the minimum effort to avoid being fired

Unfortunately, on paper, we signed an agreement to not poach. They can tell me where they went and that’s really it.

Do you mean a non-compete clause? Most of the time they are non-enforceable.

A large portion of the “community” section seems to be “e-girls” selfies. It seems to be something in between of Twitch and onlyfans.

Its sad but it what if I told you that people paid money just to watch others playing games. Is this some sort of new rival to Twitch but without videos?

Many of these games seem to be grind heavy and these people would not normally socialize with those who did not grind as many levels as themselves.

The EP website (which is terrible design) also lists channels for Karaoke, emotional support and relationship advice. Twitch is also functionally a paying for friendship service and people give tips to get noticed by their senpai.

There already existed many services where you pay people to pretend to be your friend, most famously in Japan.

It is also a tip I heard in the Fake News MSM for coping with the heat wave. It helps keep you cooler.

Take that Putin!. I’d say this is a time where it is better to be fat.

Be careful, they have been known to burst.

Based. It will increase the number of Linux users and as a result improve the range of programs available.

Texas GOP recently passed new party policy to support a vote next year on secession

Here are some articles in the Lamestream media expressing predictions that many other personal rights are in jeopardy

IMO the reasoning he uses applies to all the rights derived in similar fashion by the court, and the weak attempt to restrict to abortion is not that persuasive. Gay marriage, contraception access etc are all in jeopardy.

imo its more of a desperate idea to increase subscriber numbers, which were not growing fast enough to justify such a high stock valuation

It depends where you live. A small number of people have been sued. You should check whether anyone has suffered any penalties where you live.

USA makes it easier to sue due to not requiring proof of damages suffered. Most people seem to say a VPN is sufficient protection from being sued.

Remember when the Fake News MSM said Sleepy Joe was close to making a deal to end the sanctions on Vuvuzela to make it possible to put more sanctions on Russian oil?

The US is for some reason unable to change course even on an issue which would be obviously beneficial for their strategy.

Diplomatic immunity only applies to state power. The car however can remain parked and not pay any parking fines.

growth in user numbers is slowing so they have to resort to these desperate tactics

making mistakes typical of dying empires? This

However EU will suffer more damage than the US from this.

Do not reduce the topic to “is nation X imperialist/capitalist/good etc, yes/no?”

The capitalist system exists as a inside a system of a global empire centered on the USA and NATO. Individual nations do not exist on separate planets and then choose whether to be capitalist or imperialist.

If the USA succeeds in gaining control over the whole world, global capitalism will be strengthened and there will be greater difficulties for future socialist states to be established.
