I don’t actually, hence why I stipulated more than a few thousand speakers

I think people are over estimating how long 100 years is.

No languages that are currently spoken by more than a couple thousand people are going to go extinct that quickly.

Remember 100 years is in the upper end of a human life span.

Wow look at Mr sex haver over here

I love this art style

I wonder, do people like you apply this morality to other unhealthy behaviours? Like do you defend people against shaming a porn addiction? Or smokers? Or any other self-destructive behaviour?

I have explained plenty well. You are just refusing to listen because you have already set your opinion in stone and have either ignored or twisted everything I have said to fit that opinion.

If you have any desire to engage in good faith I suggest you go back and re read my comments.

That means they have only been their a few centuries, so their is still massive potential harm to the environment that has been their much longer.

What about trying to extort Ukraine into fabricating dirt on his political opponents.

If they’re in deep space and not moving (relative to us)time would run slightly slower for them to 44 minutes for them would be slightly less for us. But we’re talking tiny fractions of a second longer.

The much bigger impact would be speed, which would have the opposite effect, making 44 minutes for them longer for us.

Probably because you’re not reading what I’m actually saying.

Hey man, if you don’t want to engage in good faith, it’s better not to engage at all.

Again you’re only listen to a part of what I’m saying to make it more convenient to argue against.

Pc part picker is not a distributer with a functional monopoly on the pc hardware market, nor are AMD Nvidia and Intel small indie teams. That’s the key here.

Steam use their position as THE retailer of PC games as leverage to make small indie Devs put their games on ridiculous sales even when they don’t want to, just to get featured, in order to benefit themselves by being the place that has the crazy sales.

If you want a more apt example think of companies that use unpaid or underpaid inters for work in return for “the exposure” it’s very similar and widely considered exploitative.

Aborigines is Australia, the first people of NZ are the Maori and they’ve only been there since the 1300s

You consider sales to be equivalent to sweat shops?

No, what I said was you can use that same logic to justify sweatshops. That does not mean I think they are equivalent.

The problem is the coercion, steam tells smaller indie Devs that they basically have to agree to massive sales in order to get their game seen.

And why would consumers who are trying to get the most value for their money care about that financial aspect? They aren’t a business. They are consumers looking for deals.

Sure if you don’t give a shit about other people, and then you can use the same logic to justify sweatshop clothes and any other shitty businesses practice you like.

Or Disney just learned to pander to Tumblr users

Unscientific in a different way, but I think the universe is basically a digestive organ for some impossibly unknowable, incredible higher dimension being.

Like the big bang is when it feeds or otherwise takes in energy, then as trillions of years pass and entropy takes hold that is it effectively digesting that energy.

That works when we’re talking about big businesses and AAA games, but the problem is when we consider indie developers, who struggle to get attention so are pressured into putting their game on sale when they don’t want to just get some attention.

Because the big sale only happens because steam presses Devs into it in order to get promoted. So Devs that don’t buy into the sale, get sent to the back of line.

I worked for a game developer for 4 years
