Until I hear that they have dumped the requirement to log into Ubisoft Connect or Uplay or whatever they are calling it noe, then Ubisoft will remain dead to me.
Makes me sad. I really enjoyed the Assassin’s Creed series and have waited for Shadows for what feels like a decade now.
Fair point. Here’s an alternative.
I’m sure that local elections and ballot measures will be given the same level of scrutiny as the votes for federal elections.
State senate, state Supreme Court, various judges, school boards, etc. They’ll all be treated fairly and closely monitored and verified for accuracy.
Reasons people may give a shit:
The US government is shoveling huge amounts of money towards an individual that dismisses and devalues half of the world’s population with an active sexual harassment suit against him.
Consumers might want to know if they are supporting if they are supporting a mysogynist by using his privately owned social media service or buying energy products / vehicles from a company he heads up as CEO.
Trump has announced an intention to have this man lead a new “Government Efficiency Commission” and this behavior reflects both on Trump for the sort of people he elevates into positions of power and reflects on Musk as a potential public servant.
Threatening to impregnate a woman is not a good tactic for a man who is currently fighting a sexual harassment.
Are they trying to hide behind a “I didn’t know what I was saying” defense while expecting people to trust and listen to what they say?
From the AP News article on the topic
One unidentified influencer’s contract included a $400,000 monthly fee, a $100,000 signing bonus and an additional performance bonus.
Such savage victimization. I’m sure that they returned all the money once they learned what it was for and where it came from.
Have they solved the racial bias issues that has plagued facial recognition systems?
“… guys like me who have been debanked,” Donald Trump Jr. said
I had to look up “debanked”. Admitting to it has to be the financial equivalent of telling people you are a registered sex offender.
Tax experts, economists, and union organizers say it is unfair for workers to pay into a system without a legal status to be able to reap its benefits
Wasn’t there some sort of skirmish in US history that involved the slogan “no taxation without representation”? Hmmm, what was that all about again?
This triggers my trypophobia. 🤢
The considered ban on masks was for protesters.
The idea of not allowing anonymity for protesters has its origins in combating racial violence and the KKK. Klan members suddenly lost a lot of their motivation to assemble in public, once they had to show their faces, those that did were less likely to commit illegal acts and the ones that did break the law were more likely to face legal reprocutions.
The contemplated ban on masks for protesters in Los Angeles was considered following increased violence by masked protesters and was not motivated by covid denial.
If these answers are not provided, the claim then undergoes further review, which extends the time a winner must wait in order to receive their prize.
So the prize was delayed, not denied. Misleading headlines like this really make it difficult to trust the source.
The difference is the US government believes that TikTok is beholden to the Chinese government. When a corporation acts this way it is an invasion of privacy. When a foreign government acts this way it is espionage.
If TikTok is sold to an entity the US government thinks is sufficiently independent from a foreign government, then they can continue spying on users.
Alternatively, they may be able to registers under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. I don’t know how that would impact TikTok’s ability to operate though.
I hope a significant number of them get new jobs and quiet quit to get that double paycheck for as long as they can.
