GP was defending EA even though TFA clearly explains how stolen money by SBF was used to buy a $16 mansion in the UK by the EA movement, all the while knowing SBF was living a lavish lifestyle but presenting him as an altruistic genius.
In other words: GP's comment defends EA without taking into account the facts shown in TFA.
Article is BS, that money wasn't stolen. The decision making behind the purchase was transparant. Furthering the cause of EA itself was a goal of the specific fund from which they drew that money [1]. It gives them a place to have big nice conferences, which drives donations which will well exceed $16M.
Anyway, I didn't donate to that fund. I donated to the Global Dev fund [2]. If you donated to fund [1], then you knew your money would be spent on stuff like conferences.
I have both of my credit cards and my bank set up to email me with every single transaction. So even if I forget to cancel a subscription it's only going to ding me once to make me remember to cancel.
I disagree that stars should be evenly distributed between 1 to 5 stars. I think it's quite possible that most books that people choose to read end up being a 3 (good with some flaws) or 4 (good but not all-time great). It's kind of like the same thing with pizza. I'd give most pizza a 3 or 4. Very few 1s and 5s to be sure. 1 doesn't have to mean bottom 20% of pizzas. It can mean "awful, couldn't finish," where very few pizzas would fall into that category. 5 doesn't need to mean "best 20% of pizzas," it can mean "telling strangers about it the next day," again where very few pizzas would fall into that category.
I had a debate on the Criticker site about this topic since they try hard to turn your raw ratings into a normalized span. The fact is that because of ratings sites, I'm very rarely watching 1-star movies. That's good! So the low end was dominated by a 2.5/3 type ratings, which per my scale meant "just OK," but they were mapping it to "bad," somehow inferring that my rating range is 3-5.
I don't doubt that some "real people who do real work" will be turned off by the appearance of the Cybertruck. However I am confident it will have the best specs for the price of any EV truck and so some "real people who do real work" will buy the Cybertruck as the best choice.
