Im familiar with a CO in one of the more ‘humane’ prisons in the country. Recently transfered inmates who are trying to power pose to their new cell block often get told they can calm down there by the veteran inmates. The prison rewards good behavior enough that it’s created a shift in inmate culture, AND STILL, there is tons of things that more than most people would consider much less than humane. This is another one of those deeply systematic problems that I guarantee you’ll find shades of in your own community.
The government will always want more. The reason you have a judicial oversight is to slow it down. If the judges actually do more that just rubber stamp everything I don’t know but even forcing the rubber stamping is a good idea. Justice can’t happen in secrecy.
I know a few people who work for Epic games, and generally they are treated incredibly well. Good pay, good benefits, still able to work from home… Their experience has been pretty much all positive.
However, Epic has been hemorrhaging money for a few years now. As successful as the Unreal Engine and Fortnite are, they’ve aquired half a dozen companies over the last few years, and offer an insane amount of free content between the Epic Games Store and the Unreal marketplace. They they acquire exclusives for their platform, they host tournaments with prize pools in the millions, and they have been trying to build a strong reputation as a service for gamers and developers that treats them well. It never seemed to balance out though, probably because people just were never really into buying games from them.
I truly don’t get the people that outright hate them though, even for their exclusivity grabs. I also might be mildly biased since I know how much worse devs are treated at other companies.
Really? I’ve heard Epic Games employees described as just ‘bodies.’
I believe the quote was something like, “I don’t care, just get us more bodies” to work on fortnite. James Stephanie Sterling did a video on it.
I’m not sure who you’ve been talking to, but your entire post reads like corporate bullshit. Epic sucks because their service is worse than Steam and tries to convince people like you it’s not.
Hemorrhaging money? What the fuck? Have you seen how much people are making at Epic? Dev says the pay is good, what do you think his higher ups are getting paid?
Like, only a legitimate fool would think Epic ‘hemorrhaging money’ is any cause for concern. No, any inconsistencies in where money is going stems solely from who they’re paying. I.e. people doing as little work as possible while making as much money as possible.
Sorry this needs to be explained to you, but I truly think you have been taken for a ride. If not, then you’re trying to take others for one.
Gonna block you now though, brother. After reading your post, I don’t believe you have anything to offer me and are just going to double-down on Epic being a company worth supporting. See ya.
There’s nothing quite like making an emotional, incendiary response to a good faith comment and then blocking the person while acting as if you are morally superior.
Perhaps in the future, should you ever unblock me and see this comment, you’ll consider an alternative perspective as an opportunity to change your mind and not as some sort of conflict.
Holy fucking fuck! Fuck this shit and fuck that piece of shit pig!
FUCKING CHRIST! JUST FUCKING THROWING OUT THE CASE WHERE HE MURDERED A MAN THROUGH A CAR DOOR THAT FUCKING OPENS OUTWARDS?!! THEN FUCKING LIED AND LIED ABOUT FUCKING LYING!!
Fuck you Wendy Pew I hope he’ll is real just so you rot in it and maybe I can meet you in it to make your afterlife a little bit worse.
I wonder why stores like Walmart and Whole Foods are shuttering stores. Can’t wait for these community run stores to become crime-ridden shitholes from rowdies.
It’s totally not the ridiculous crime rates from a minority of the population amirite?
