I've worked at plenty of places which have made it fairly clear that the only way you can progress up in the company is to work out of hours. Extremely illegal business practice but they did it anyway.

One of the places was a law firm, because lawyers always think that they know how to break the law.

It doesn't need to be anything complicated. If you just re-upload the original code to a new location, and then Nintendo has to start the entire process of tracking the uploader down in order to threaten them.

Ironically for a video games company Nintendo don't really seem to quite understand how the modern world works.

He also didn't say his name three times in 10 seconds. Then sort of fade off and vaguely look off into the distance.

You realize that when a business is privatized they don't give it to the civil service right?

They bring in a CEO from the business world, The point is that CEO isn't then given marching orders to make as much money in the shorter time as possible.

The last time I asked for experiences over stuff we had covid immediately after and went into lockdown and I couldn't use it for over 2 years.

Not doing that again.

Well I've just been paid to start drinking at 3:00 p.m. because apparently I haven't taken enough holiday this year.

Sucks to be free I guess.

Hydro is great but it's not clean it requires you to flood vast areas of land, it's quite damaging to wildlife.

It is also highly situation dependent, you be quiet exactly the right kind of geography in order to be able to build hydro and then you require that there is no one living in the affected area otherwise it gets very expensive very quickly assuming you're allowed to do it at all.

Any port in a storm I guess

So as far as I can tell the idea here is to just continuously piss off Nintendo forever with a never-ending game of whack-a-mole?

If Jeremy Clarkson is part of your movement you're on the wrong side. The guy is an enormous ego with a platform.

Why the hell would "The Government™" want to ethnically cleanse farming what the hell does that even mean?

I do think it's funny how he's got massively into the whole farming thing though.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
