They very much are not. Think of google as android for profit edition. The hardware is pretty solid though.

I had to pay mine off before I could unlock the bootloader too.

Cured is the same as remission, which is what you are describing you are in now. Most doctors won’t say cured because it could come back in the future, so the term remission is used more often.

Theres also a ton of people, medical professionals included, that treat type two diabetes as a permanent problem with no possibility of reversing it. This leads to people focusing on the medication they need to take instead of the food they eat.

Or maybe you are being dense, who knows.

Because every developer uses the exact same processes and holds themselves to the exact same standards right?

Way to out yourself as someone who’s only read about the industry.

They just need to change everything about how they design and create the games to fit the new model.

Essentially you have it right, although I wouldnt say charities should dissolve as a rule. If there aren’t enough people to do the work with the right goal in mind though I dont think the answer is to pay more and get capitalists in the door.

I have a strong aversion to greed minded people in general though so I’m very biased here.

Its not simply people doing what’s best for the selves, its greedy parents who have raised greedy children who grow up thinking their job title and bank account number represent who they are. They could choose any other values to pursue in life but actively choose greed each day.

The catalyst to change oneself comes from within, so I hold people responsible who refuse to learn or change.

Its not a few. America is full of scams and exploits at literally every turn. Its in advertisements, news stories, popular TV and movies.

The point I’m making is that people think at least charities will be the exception to that rule, but they aren’t. You’d be better off donating to a non-american organization IMO.

Competent people who don’t care about the cause shouldnt take the job at all. People earning 8 figures shouldnt expect to make the same at a charity. Greed and altruism are values or qualities a person can possess and I dont think they can exist in the same person.

The United Health CEO thought he was altruistic, his family does as well. Its pretty clear the vast majority of people see greed there, not altruism.

Greedy people simply shouldnt be in charge of helping people.

You are assuming the highest paid ceos are the best choice for a charity as well. Running something with a goal of making as much money as possible is not the same as running something with a goal of helping with something as much as possible.

Its only the same if you think money accomplishes both, which is a valid take on things, I just dont agree with that myself.

If the only reason a ceo wants to work for a charity is the huge paycheck, they have the wrong set of values to run a charity.

Being a CEO of a charity is not about prestige. This is why a lot of american charities come across as grifts in my opinion.

You should ask why a person would accept that much money to do that kind of job, they could ask for an appropriate amount but instead take what they can get.

Plenty of non-american charities dont over pay people. You would expect people who work in charity to not be greedy. Greed is when you take more than you should because you think you deserve it.

Cool, so americans will do anything for money. Even in charities. Is that what you want to hang your hat on? Its awful behavior and the OP is right to highlight the hypocrisy of a charity CEO making over 10 times the cost of living.

A person leading a charity shouldnt have such an ego that they think they deserve so much more than anyone else. How could they possibly understand the concept of charity?

They are saying they are all greedy.

Are you implying you would be teaching that man how to walk?

When you help someone on a computer, they come along with you too, just like the blind guy. And just like the blind guy, them coming along with you does not mean they will be able to do it themselves next time, or that they want to do it alone next time.

This sounds a lot like “only my perspective is correct” type stuff.

I think what you are describing is teaching not helping. Helping someone is just doing the thing they need help with and thats it. Its not a prerequisite that someone learn something if your goal is just to help them but it is if your goal is to teach them something.

It is nice when people share your interests and want to learn but everyone’s got their own stuff going on and sometimes can’t make room for something new like that.

Not really sure which point you are making.

I have no idea what thanksgiving meant hundreds of years ago. I’m aware that the natives and colonizers did not get along great back then but that has nothing to do with thanksgiving today.

Today, its generally about getting together and having a nice meal and giving thanks (being positive).

Also, the day being worthless for you, only affects you. It still has worth for everyone else who assign it worth. You haven’t stumbled upon some universal fact, its just an opinion.

You likely could find people who share your opinion and get together with them and all have some sort of Thanksgiving group debate if you’d like.
