I really think Roblox is missing the point.
Sure, age-verification might impede underage use of their product, but there are a lot of adults that understand the age-verification movement to be an invasion of their privacy. Whether or not this is true, "perception is reality".

The real problem is that given his rank, he would be in a position to hear things sooner than others further down the food chain. Anyone paying attention to who is doing any betting could have (or should have) asked what they might now that would cause them to place the bet they did. In this case, it boils down to an OPSEC violation, and that's illegal under any circumstance, punishable by UCMJ if not actual civilian law. The fact that the FBI are involved tells me that this guy will probably be facing UCMJ violations too (if he's lucky, court martial if he's not), and may not be a Sergeant Major any longer when the dust settles.

Curious, then, that if such a law was already passed that recently that the likes of Pelosi (and surely other members of both parties) still managed to get around it.
Congress (as a whole) acts as if their shit doesn't stink. It's high time they get reminded that it most certainly does.

Journal Journal: Well, That's been a thing. 2
Worked at a company for 15 years. Company was bought and sold a couple times. Most recent owner decided my position (and that of several others) was to be eliminated. Such is life in the world of Mergers and Acquisitions.
Now I'm looking for another job. The tools at my disposal are better, the resources are better, and the personal networks I have built over the years is better. Hopefully I'll be back to work soon.
Comment The real reasons viewership has dropped (Score 1) 152
I can think of four reasons ticket sales have dropped.
- Much of what Hollywood has been putting out is crap.
- Politicians increase taxes constantly, resulting in less disposable income for potential movie-goers.
- Ticket costs increasing - Not much can be done there, theaters do it to compensate for the loss in sales.
- Streaming is a thing. Why go to a theater to sit in a sticky, uncomfortable seat when one can wait a little while for the movie to hit $STREAMING_SERVICE and watch it from the comfort of one's own home?
