I feel like someone in this thread should be calling someone else a tankie, even if only for the meme of it.

I know that there is a large difference between CAD and general 3D modeling, but I've designed all my custom 3D printed parts in Blender and have had zero issues with fitment or scaling.

The authorities should be able to dig through the possessions of massive companies that are fucking up so bad that planes fall out of the sky.

Then it still doesn't matter. If an identified source gives information that isn't verifiable, it's still not actionable.

I don't care who it is, they give the information, then authorities verify it. If it comes up verified, there you go.

That's basically a character on Rick and Morty (except its like a million ants)

You assume "pretty ass" is limited to women, for any given male player...

Obviously subjective, but;

  • Smaller hitbox
  • Better animations
  • Many awesome games where the equally awesome protagonist is female (Metroid, Portal, Hellblade, Tomb raider, Horizon, etc)
  • If the story is based on the character, it's often more emotionally intelligent
  • Usually more agile, fast, stealthy, and has long-range attacks (magic users, snipers, archers, etc)
  • Usually has more of a flourish in attacks, so fancier and more graceful

I'm male, 5'7", 150, athletic build. Definitely male in appearance, but I'm not bulky. To your point about "the character looking as much like you as possible", depending on the game, my frame is more similar to the female than the guy who's neck is bigger than my waist.

I like smash-em-ups just fine, but sometimes I want to approach the mechanics as I would in real life, and that's intentionally, and executed with subtlety. A lot of male-focused paths/stories are forced to be blunt force and loud.

I mean, lack of consensus notwithstanding, the logic tree should be pretty simple;

  • Employer demands secure device

    • Employee has one personally and is willing to use it for work

      • Employer allows use of personal device

        • Problem solved
      • Employer isn't comfortable with BYOD, provides a device

        • Employee accepts the new device

          • Problem solved
        • Employee doesn't accept the device, can't do their job, is fired

          • Problem solved
    • Employee either doesn't have one, or refuses to use their own

      • Employer provides one

        • Problem solved
      • Employer refuses to provide one

        • Employee realizes the company sucks, quits

          • Problem solved
        • Employer gets shitty about it, fires the employee, employee sues and easily wins

          • Problem solved
  • updated for more scenarios

Reasonable to allow only secure devices for work: Yes

Reasonable to expect the employee to provide such a device: No

Work should only be done on company hardware (including auth). Especially if they're going to be that concerned about security.
