  Inmates can even be charged for rent and come out indebted to the prison they were assigned to

  Depends on your goals and income level. I couldn’t afford to rent a place with the space for the equipment I use let alone the equipment itself. Of course training isn’t required for anyone, and there’s a lot you can achieve with little or no equipment, but there’s a reason why people pay for gym memberships rather than simply “doing pushups at home”.

  There’s a lot more to training than push-ups

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon works in cybersecurity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s one of the things I enjoy about working in the video games industry instead of a normal software place, everybody seems much more progressive than the average for my country. Maybe it just comes with being underpaid and working on creative stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do video game leaks (such as the huge GTA VI videos leak) cause "low morale" for the staff working on it?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I worked on big games that got leaked. Companies spend a shitton on marketing with the hope of making a big boom when it’s announced. We’re hoping to see our work revealed in the best way possible. When it leaks, that big announcement possibility is gone, that money is partly wasted, and what’s shown is out of our control.
