It's hard to make a full judgment without knowing more details but "the pay is good and it's easy" isn't really a compelling justification for "and I help evil manifest in the world".

I also commented there by accident once because I didn't read the community name. They politely asked me to refrain from doing so. I was embarrassed, and have been more careful.
Apparently for some people this is unacceptable.
I knew a guy who went to work for palantir a bunch of years ago. Was always friendly at work. I asked him "but what're you going to do if they do bad stuff, like spying on people?"
He just shrugged. Didn't care. The money was good.
I don't know if this alone is proof that's a bad person, but I think it precludes him from being a good one.
Conservatives don't care about being correct or consistent. They say things for effect. They follow their feelings. Something inside them is broken and ruined. They project constantly onto others, because introspection would shatter their flimsy ego.
Not a fan of the "lol natural 20 zaniness happens" trope. That's 5% of the time.
Also Shadowrun doesn't even use d20s
This is infuriating and I don't know what to do about it.
Yep. Infrastructure shouldn't be privately owned.
Yes that is the legal justification. I am not interested in the legal justification. Laws are not inherently good. They were clearly paid less than their worth if there's six figure payouts to be had here.
This is the fundamental injustice of capitalism. The owner pays you a small amount and keeps all the profits. A child would recognize that as unfair.
This feels like theft. Maybe not technically legally but the people who did the chatting aren't getting the money. Capitalist hellscape
Microsoft is probably salivating at the idea of being the only legal OS provider.
I recently knew two people who came to the US recently.
One was from India, and he came for the money. He has a low six figure job as a "product manager" and the CEO's toady. He's quite ignorant of US politics and history, so he's not really concerned.
The other came from canada, but also has EU residency (or citizenship? unclear). He said he makes more money here. He's making mid six figures as a software engineer at a startup, with poor work/life balance. He can always leave, since his parents own a house in germany.
Neither were coming here like an old timey tale of immigrants trying to find a better life.
I feel like if you're not going to use an app, you should focus on real life. Join meetups. Join a local sports team. Posting on a forum isn't going to be more effective than that.
