Seriously true. Also, most functioning adults didn’t have the “upbringing” this child had.

Sandifer's mother, Lorina Sandifer, had over 30 arrests while prostituting, many of which were drug-related. Sandifer's father, Robert Akins, was absent throughout Sandifer's life due to incarceration for a felony gun charge. Sandifer was physically abused from the time he was an infant.

Before he was three years old… Sandifer was alleged to have had cigarette burns on his arms and neck as well as linear bruising consistent with physical beatings.

Sandifer and his siblings were removed from his mother's home by DCFS and were sent to live with their grandmother… whose residence contained as many as 19 children on some occasions. By most accounts, his grandmother's home was not much better than Sandifer's previous home.

It would have taken a miracle for this kid to reach adulthood and I guarantee he would not have been a functioning adult.

I am less concerned about robot supremacists and more concerned about humans deploying these murder bots for their own ends.

This is such an obvious 1st amendment rights issue. Anyone can wear anything that is allowed on the property and you can’t even ban minors because drag doesn’t mean revealing clothing. It’s open and shut.

Jeez… that kid was born into a hellish upbringing. He literally never had a chance. No wonder his rap sheet was big.

Yeah, encumbrance can be overcame but the durability thing is annoying. Especially when you can’t repair the gear.

Who breaks up with someone and then asks to stay with them and for money for food? I doubt this is real. It’s too stupid.

So with Topics and the removal of 3rd party cookies Google can then have a monopoly on behavior based ad tracking since they also have 64% of the browsing market. This is also bad.

They will lose control of the pre roll and post roll ads but maintain control of the ad breaks during the video. This is actually a smart change and data driven.

So much this. This is the most basic thing and at least half of America doesn’t get it.

I think it was about all of the above. The actual quote is about the game size, but not all the way. He says that smaller studios may not have the resources to do what they did by having a multi-year early access period. Remember, they have to pay people that whole time without getting much money from the product. Also, he points out that larger studios such as the one making Starfield should have the resources to do what they did and more.

I agree. Thank you Ategon!

It was not sustainable and eventually they let me work from home.
