Yes, but will humans realize that before everyone has starved and the knowledge of how to do those things is gone?

Can he even reach the bumpers on a controller?

The TL:DW is Mr. Beast is a master of using gambling psychology to capture kids' attention, to then sell them horribly unhealthy foods. His contests and giveaways are largely fake and/or are rigged to favor other creators, friends and family. He constantly fails to deliver promised prizes, and he runs live streams that are essentially child gambling masquerading as sweepstakes. He violates sweepstakes laws all the time but seems to get away with it by taking down old streams, and DMCAs any clips that get uploaded by others. He has also promoted a scheme to get his fans to act as child labor and stock/organize his products at Walmart.

Fearing for their safety on an Australian tour? No, if you read the article the response is all political and Australian politicians were calling for the band's deportation.

Report it to HR and ignore both of them, or if you really feel a need to make an effort to communicate with either of them, respond from your professional email and say, "I would prefer if we keep our interactions professional" and leave it at that.

If that's not enough of a hint for them, you definitely need to escalate with HR.

I agree with you except for the fact that Sony has yet to change the region lock out or remove the PSN account requirement on the Steam store listing. Talk is cheap and that's all Sony has done so far.

Right now, Sony has yet to update the Steam listing to remove the PSN account requirement or the region lock out. Don't update your reviews to positive yet. Talk is cheap and all Sony has actually done it put out a statement to appease fans and stop the damage.

An hour after this announcement was made, a tiny update was pushed via GamGuard to steam players and now there's a .DLL file that's being flagged by antivirus as a malware. My AV detects and cleans the file, making the game completely broken. There a Steam discussion about this issue and, surprise surprise, the file in question is used by GameGuard.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with Sony's recent announcement of their patent for biometric harassment detection.

The game racked up over 10k negative reviews in 90 minutes yesterday. People are pissed. There's also the issue of PSN only being available in a about a third of all countries.

I just uninstalled the game over this and I have 350+ hours.

They're not using electrolysis and water to make hydrogen, they're using power and steam to crack petroleum products into hydrogen.

Hah! It's amazing how many people are still hanging onto the delusion that hydrogen is made from renewables when almost every ounce of commercial hydrogen fuel is made by cracking petroleum products.

Run from a bear and wolves, and they got exactly what they wanted and won't chase.

That is the worst advice I've ever seen: a black bear can run 30mph/48kmh and will run you down if you run. Wolfs have a strong predation drive and will also run you down but in a pack. Both of these animals look for weakened prey and weakened prey always run.
