Ocean

Sure

“I was worried about raising our kids in L.A., in the culture of Hollywood,” he told the magazine. “I don’t want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi. I don’t want them being compared to somebody else’s famous kids”

This was the reason stated in the article, they’re not seeking asylum. They literally just wealthy people acquiring citizenship like it’s a membership to a new country club. Equating them in any way to the real struggles of people attempting to flee persecution is so wild to me, but I guess it’s cool to do because we like George Clooney. He even says he can’t speak French.

Wow, I didn’t realize making a movie gave you rights over the entire concept of the ocean

What exactly is it saying? I understand his wife is a lebanese, but how are they materially any less safe in the US than they are in France? This really just sounds like wealthy liberals changing country clubs. I’ve only ever been to France as a tourist but they didn’t seem any less prejudice there.

A rich man and wife feel safer in France than in the US. I don’t necessarily care how safe the ultra-wealthy feel in any country

That’s not a fallacy. REDUCE, reuse, recycle. We shouldn’t be looking for new ways to consume more energy or celebrating massive infrastructure projects to power chat bots. The project is cool though

Companies make a little money selling your information. It is better to assume that any information you hand over to a private entity will be sold. It doesn’t matter if they say that it isn’t going to be at that time. Should they ever fold your information goes to the first bidder.

The competition is following an industry leader who is only an industry leader because their other business makes so much money hand over fist that they can just keep dumping money into gaming just to maintain dominance. The answer to the question you propose another question “How can we cut costs and increase profit?” And the easiest way to do that is to reduce labor and raise prices, and if they can get away with it, Monopolize. So yes, Microsoft executives would be doing this exact same thing without the Activision Blizzard purchase. But because they can get away with purchasing all potential competition, they’ll do that first.

The dominance of the two largest video game companies affects prices for everyone. High game prices are justified by “just get it on Game Pass,” which normalizes the cost. Now that subscription prices are also rising, developers are left to face investors with unrealistic expectations based on these corporate practices, an issue made worse by weak regulation. Some people may get it but most consumers don’t care until they can’t afford their gotcha game addiction.

Right, so how does xenophobia solve automation? The robot takes the job from the immigrant who allegedly took the job, meanwhile, the robber baron is laughing all the way to the bank he’s about to own.

When did I say it’s okay? I just said this is nothing new, it’s not an anomaly. You should be outraged, but don’t act like a for-profit company isn’t going to chase profit incentives, and if they are incentivized to sensationalize, they’re going to sensationalize. If they end up making more money from an outright lie after any litigation, they’ll tell a lie.

It’s all good, I thought we were just yapping

​ Unlike a professor who would reject a student’s unsubstantiated claims, a for-profit entity won’t care about evidence unless its absence hurts profits. And you can say that about nearly any commercial news or journalistic organization. Establishing an equitable and high standard of education is the only true way to combat this, and that’s not happening in our lifetime

I guess, but inflammatory and sensationalist headlines have always existed.

If said reporter can’t present quantifiable data/evidence, then maybe they shouldn’t write the article?
