He/him.
Pimping, blackmail, and fraud would cover it, it's just the net worth of the clients and victims that would be unusual.

There’s this terrible tragedy of moral misfortune here. If I had been born into a better society I would be a better person. It’s an idea almost too big and too sad to get your head around. But it’s true.

Game dev resources are so scarce I'm always resentful of games that spent time supporting "the psychopath's path", like say The Outer Worlds 1. That game's team could have spent those resources better elsewhere.

when RWers say "grooming" they mean "threatening my patriarchal sexual authority, corrupting my property, damaging my goods." they don't actually mean anything to do with sexual abuse, which they see as perfectly permissible under the right circumstances.

So. As someone who's worked in ag for 28 years:

If Clarkson's Farm is "just pretending to be stupid for TV," they really did their research! Every single foulup in CF, I've watched multiple people do IRL.

Often right after I told them not to 💀

I'm confused, I've read this years ago as an ebook, what's this about it being an upcoming book?

It's good to have a process.
