The action would have been done as vice-president, not president. Vice-presidents are held accountable. This is why Trump got in trouble for defamation of E. Jean Carroll.

He defamed her as president and called it an official act. The case was put on indefinite hold. Then he said the same things while he wasn't president. A new case was brought against him and he was found liable. Then, Carroll's lawyer asked the original case to be resumed arguing that Trump's statements couldn't be an official act of the president since he performed the same action while he wasn't president. The courts agreed and resumed the case and he was found liable again.

In 2021, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution that everyone has a right to food and the UN should work to eliminate world hunger. It passed 186 for and 2 against. The two countries that disagreed were the United States and Isreal.

There's definitely a CEO whose bonus depends on hitting a certain number of PSN accounts. I can only assume account info is being sold because why else would they care? It's either that or they eventually plan on charging PC players a monthly fee to play all their Sony games.

They routinely held an end of year meeting at the start of December that was a bit of a Christmas party. The meeting was always a show of appreciation that ended with the boss handing out bonus pay.

One year the boss finished thanking us for contributing to the busiest and most profitable year in company history. He then announced that all that big profit would be used to open up a new location! And for that reason nobody would be getting Christmas bonuses because the new location was really expensive. The next year he sold to a corporation who immediately fired most of the senior staff due to their high salaries, myself included.

This was the actual reason if I recall correctly. He lived on a small side street that suddenly had lots of traffic. He realized Google maps was suggesting that street for directions and came up with this ingenious plan to get Google to redirect traffic elsewhere.

This. I feel the drop in users are the people who came here thinking it was a place for "free speech" and are upset for being downvoted for shit comments.

In reality it's probably people who checked out the site, saw its mostly software/tech and political communities, a handfull of communities for trans people and reposted memes, and a dash of "the West will fall and China will prevail" communist communities, and decided to leave.

Also the porn is hidden too well, and even when you figure out how to find it, the porn that exists is 90% furry and hentai. Reddit has a huge amateur porn community that I'm certain keeps much of their users coming back.
