I was just looking into this, too. Got on the topic of old “Sierra” point and click games, and the as brought up being similar in many ways.

Do your iPhones usually take oil?

What do you think plastic is made from?

Packaging, no. But manufacturing it into something else, yes.

Do you think a tariff on copper would apply to an iPhone? Or a tariff on oil?

That’s generally how tariffs work. A tariff on grain is not a tariff on bread. A tariff on steel is not a tariff on knives. A tariff on cotton is not a tariff on clothing.

It can be, of course. A tariff can be on steel and items made with steel. But that’s not usually the case, and it’s usually called out as such. Of course, Trump is not what you’d call the most precise communicator in the world, but all we can do is work with what he says.

Right, but this tariff, at least as I understand it, is on chips imported as chips, not on products that contain chips. An iPhone will, of course, be subject to some other damn fool tariff, but not this specific one.

Of course, my understanding of this specific tariff may be wrong.

What he means is, if I buy an iPhone built in China, this tariff won’t affect the price I pay.

But if I buy a phone built in America, with an imported processer, this tariff will make that phone more expensive.

Sure they can write laws making it illegal to claim the king of Thailand is a doddering old fool anywhere in the world. Good for them.

They have no legal right to enforce it on me, though. If I visit their country, of course, I will be subject to their laws. But they can’t apply it to me until then.

They can write whatever they like, but in practical terms, they can only enforce their laws inside their borders.

No European law applies outside Europe. That’s kind of the nature of laws.

Wasn’t he introduced with a story of pulling off a miracle to escape the Gorn? Or am I not remembering properly?

If anyone wanted this information, they could just post a bogus job, and people will just send them the data.

Indeed it is so.

Nevertheless, assholes.

If the employers are using computers to read my resume, why shouldn’t I used a computer to write it?

Assholes to the lot of them.

Because we don’t want them doing surge pricing.

Disagree. The DM should provide some sort of reason for the party to come together. Some sort of external influence, to bring in any characters that don’t start the game together.

But it is the duty of the player to roll with it. Don’t fight the plot hook. What’s the point?

Is there some reason we want brands to join the conversation?

I’ll make an exception for uploaders.

That’s because they banned the accounts.

Anyone who has an account on pornhub deserves their ban.

If you were to use their network to take advantage of the features for anything that the “predator” behind doesn’t care, you’re fine.

But what will the predator care about tomorrow? Or next year? And how confident are you that aggregate data is not what they want, for whatever reason?
