Look at this graph

Usually in the context of profit milking by shareholders influencing that decline.

On a more charitable reading I can see that meaning, and I probably came off with a tone I didn’t mean over text. I don’t think its an effective approach for convincing opposition though and would ask folks tempted to to consider why what seems like simple math isn’t so simple for people focusing on a different variables.

But no, not deliberately misunderstanding and I appreciate your input.

You’re welcome, and thanks for taking my words in good faith. Even if what I said doesn’t resonate with you, I hope you manage to have a good day.

Did you mean to respond to somone else? I’ve been trying to go out of my way to say this isn’t a rebuttal to the argument. No one’s rhetoric is perfect, and even if someone’s advice doesn’t resonate with you there might be a kernel of something you can use to improve it in other ways.

I wasn’t even denouncing the core of your argument, it was purely the characterization you made of them. Everyone views their own opinions as the right ones, so “spend[ing] your effort screaming at the ones who want to dismantle the orphan crushing machine”(your exact words) is about as fair of a characterization as “beg the accellerationists to help reduce the amount of murder happening in general” for instance. I’m not saying that either one is the truth. I’m not saying you are wrong or adding my own view on the issue itself. I’m saying that I think you could make it more convincing by leaving that characterization out.

It’s a little wild to tell someone they should spend this energy doing something about it instead of writing when you wrote more than them just to say it. It rings pretty hollow. Not saying this to tell you you’re right or wrong, just some constructive criticism. Stick to the substantial arguments if you really want to change minds.

Lmao please tell me where in the US I can move where not a single soul says those exact words unironically.

It shows such an absurd lack of care. Bugs are one thing, but you’d think someone would try to at least launch the game one last time before going live with it??

And as soon as the year passes, there’s a flash of light as the VR headset comes off. It’s been 1 hour since you took the deal. The money is already in your account. You go home and kiss your wife and hug your children who are so proud of you for being brave enough to take such a risk, even if your wife playfully berates you for not at least calling first. She understands, even concedes she may have done the same given the reward. You and your family live a long and happy life living as comfortably as one can keeping just enough to have stability while driving and funding important activist movements to make the world a better place. The end.

Robertson = Robertson isn’t helpful for a layman either.

This is wild. They were literally helping people who didn’t know learn.

Support all squirrels. Or else 🔫🐿️

What’s the context for that?
