First I've ever even heard of this!

PS5 Exclusive

That explains it! Still good on them for making a game that looks like a joy to play, instead of another played out take on Military Industrial Complex Propaganda 3! Hopefully this can help bring us back towards more games that are just good fun

Really glad they redacted "US Political Party A" and "US Political Party B". I for one am completely stumped as to which parties they could be referring to.

It's all fun and games until we find out the white dude running the startup used to be an Asian dude with a vendetta against Pierce Brosnan.

Pierce better start rethinking his annual trip to the ice palace.

physical harm to any living being

Here's about half a billion instances or so of harm to living beings every day.

Let alone the tens of billions living each day in conditions that would be considered "abuse" if I told you I kept my dog in a similar situation.

In theory? It's all about traceability and consent, preferably with a third party auditing system. A good skull salesman should be able to provide you with documentation of the origin PR your skull and the consent obtained, as well as a contact at their third-party auditing firm. if the skull is fair trade, they should also be able to provide evidence that they are paying above market rates for their skull harvesters.

If were being pedantic, if you purchase with a card your money actually goes to the bank, who transfers it to Visa, who transfers it to the grocer. The grocer restocks the item you purchased, transferring a portion of your money (less all the upstream overhead/fees) to the manufacturer of your purchased good.

If people stop buying products with a harmful supply chain, grocers stop stocking it. They're not just putting processed deli meat on the shelves because they think meat bricks look cool.

Following up on an paper posted earlier this week on disproportionate carbon emissions based on income. This article, by one of the paper's authors, proposes the possibility of imposing carbon tax on investment income as a more equitable means of influencing emissions.

Instead of putting the responsibility for cutting emissions on consumers, maybe policies should more directly tie that responsibility to corporate executives, board members, and investors who have the most knowledge and power over their industries. Based on our analysis of the consumption and income benefits produced by greenhouse gas emissions, I believe a shareholder-based carbon tax is worth exploring.
