A "voluntary framework" under this adminstration... hmm...

They clearly don't give a shit whether their servers stay up, though.

This has been a weird year where the cultists decided that don't need to keep normies around to steer their servers farms.

Your point would stand if any of those companies had recently shown a shred of evidence that they're capable of planning further into the future than next quarter. :(

Nah. There's a nice big fat block button for this discussion.

We can just let people be themselves.

Hiding divisive bias in science language isn't new, and it isn't bringing value.

I'll set down my anti-Google pitchfork when the company dissolves, but I love to hear accurate updates on things. I can cradle my pitchfork in the crook of my arm while I listen.

It think we can all relate to having pre-wedding jitters about how our spouse will feel when they finds out we are secretly just a pile of magically animated mud and sticks.

Wayfinder is very playable solo.

You'll still probably only like it if you liked World of Warcarft, I imagine. It's a clear (and very nice) tribute.

Soap box time:

Mythos is a clever algorithm, but it won't make it into the history books.

The people getting excited have no fucking clue what is going on.

Claude Mythos is a VW Beetle - genuinely interesting design with an advertising budget larger than some counties, decorating a solution that isn't remotely a good use of the money being spent on it.

I would be pissed at these headlines, if this were my work.

I, an expert, used the latest bullshit brute force libraries in a novel way to move human knowledge forward.

Headline: "Latest bullshit brute force library makes discovery!"

This place is going to start booming when creators figure out that our algorithm shows everything they share with everyone who chooses to follow them, every time.

I think we struck on something really unusually not-coded-by-total-assholes, here.

She's been on screen in previous episodes and was planning to be in this one, maybe just not in such a major way.

I noticed that too. That was pretty clever.

I know they have a timeout thing where anyone can call a timeout for any reason if they're uncomfortable etc.

Nice!

I think/hooe her nervous persona was played up for the bit

Yes. I think she definitely played it up for the bit. DropOut is lucky to have behind the scenes talent who are able to step up as performers!

Yes. It was funny, and it felt like a clever acknowledgement of how hard their crew work.

But I really hope DropOut has some kind of process for getting prior consent before surprising someone with a major role on camera.

Considering other evidence, I would guess they do? Hiring an intimacy consultant for an on-screen gag, and Brennan asking for consent to interact before a wrestling gag on VIP makes me assume they do get some level of consent from each production cast members first.

Older evidence against would include the rough ending of Total Forgiveness - arguably a failure in their consent processes. But it's a good sign that the newest evidence is in the right direction.
