    And how do we do that?

    Equality and equity are not the same thing, systemic issues are baked into our laws and policies. Mostly geared at the lower socioeconomic status members of society.

    Which tend to be minority members due to the very same systemic issues.

    Some people need a different sized ladder to get to the same position.

    Edit: an extra word




  • Been learning Italian for over a year now and it’s going super well.

    My strategy involves:

    Daily Duolingo (335 day steak and I try to at least do the daily challenges and stay in their obsidian league), Anki for vocab and other things, Italian music (rap and their version of folk/americana), translating La Divina Commedia to English (slowly), Italian films, and my phone has been in Italian for a long time.

    I also like to read SCPs in Italian because the format makes it easy to guess if I don’t know what’s going on.

    I’m going on a trip to Italy in August as well!






  • First point in favor:

    I actually think Rockstar is one of the true AAA studios that can justify this kind of pricing, they have such a huge dev team for rockstar flagships and on top of that the quality is unmatched throughout the gaming industry.

    We are not talking about Bethesda here, RDR2 was basically a masterpiece.

    Counterpoint: they also make more than enough money from GTA online to subsidize the base game cost. They will make many many times over what they spent on game dev and marketing with their online pricing model. So it’s just a further money grab really.












  • The company fucked up by not updating their equipment, even though they knew it was outdated and dangerous

    “The North Sea Divers Alliance, formed by early North Sea divers and the relatives of those killed, continued to press for further investigation and, in February 2008, obtained a report that indicated the real cause was faulty equipment. Clare Lucas, daughter of Roy Lucas, said: “I would go so far as to say that the Norwegian Government murdered my father because they knew that they were diving with an unsafe decompression chamber.”[11] The families of the divers eventually received compensation for the damages from the Norwegian government, 26 years after the incident.[12]
