  • Depends on your country/state. Ask him to redo that section of the video to leave your presence out of it to respect your privacy. If it affects you negatively in any way and puts you at risk, that is also something you can sue for.

    I personally am a fan of being able to record any situation you might want to hold people liable to, but another thing completely is spreading it irresponsibly through social networks as a hit piece for an idea that you want to disseminate a biased and caricaturized version of an interview to represent, specially when they might not even be representing themselves in any capacity. I don’t think they need to take their video down, they just might need to obfuscate your face and voice on request.

    Prometheus.

    The Romans/Greek gods were as shitty as gods usually are. Sisyphus wasn’t so much punished for his crimes as he was for being a smartass to the gods. Sisyphus literally stopped everyone on Earth from dying, and because Ares the God of War complained that wars were no longer fun because no one died, it was undone. The claim that Sysiphus suffered his punishment because of how he toyed with people’s lives is gaslighting, the gods did that all the time. Sysiphus’ biggest crime was not being another god.

    We do not share his punishment thankfully because gods are fiction. Unfortunately, there’s no shortage of Sysiphuses or enemies of Sysiphuses with the same or more power that would either act the same or worse.


  • I offered criticism because that’s what I had with the activity you were promoting. Yes, it was my opinion. Did the words “I don’t believe” not tip you off? I then proceeded to explain why I had it, yes. Generally, comments people make are their own opinion.

    however weird or dumb that might be

    Or in other words

    Ok that’s a very good argument

    I’m sure I would lose, arguments only work on the willing.

    Anyway, this conversation has reached its end, byeee.






  • You’re spouting literal in-game billboard propaganda.

    Sure, bud, totally not the case of you misframing my comment as it.

    What exactly is the point of the game again according to you? Who’s playing right enough for you?

    You must have failed to read the part where I am not playing Eve anymore. The game is an addiction hook with a lot of (but not all) game mechanics that really aren’t that good.

    You’ve suddenly brought up “hate mining” and “elitist” out of nowhere, when all I did was make observations about the activity. It is not inherently fun IMO. You also bring out “no engagement”, which is another gross exaggeration of minimal engagement. And if you think the gankers aren’t mining, you really haven’t gotten out of your solar system to explore. You seem to be stuck within the bubble even within the game, and you will be socially manipulated for it.

    I haven’t played Eve in years, and have only “ganked” in a few minor instances and enough to realize that it also wasn’t a fun mechanic, it was just exploiting the uninformed and the careless within the statistics, and it didn’t so much require effort or skill so much as preparation. There’s also quite a bit of a similarity between the dopamine hook the people who gank have to the people who mine, although there’s a lot more sadism as well.
