What are some lesser known (so no Walmart, Nestle, Amazon etc) shitty, ethically bankrupt, evil companies?

riot games settles for 100 million dollars after sexually harassing its own employees.

Male employees (developers, I think) engaged in drunken "panty raids" where they would crowd into a woman's cubicle and take things from her while she worked.

Riot games chose to pay these women to go away, rather than fix the problem.

They make League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics. I will never spend another dollar on their products.

Dealing with health insurers

To achieve a doctorate in my country you have to be extremely privileged. Family to support you, free time to devote to studies, not be a minority, come from wealth, not be disabled, the list goes on and on. Most doctors tout their achievements as personal merit and fail to credit the systems that allowed them to get there, a place of extreme luxury that many of their countrymen deserve but will never get to enjoy. They delude themselves into thinking that their work ethic is the only thing that enabled them. If it were work ethic alone, every factory worker would be a doctor.

This headline validates my belief. Doctors who actually care about other people are so rare that they make headlines. What a sad state of affairs. I'm dismayed that it's come to this. I'm so tired.

In ASP.NET applications, specifically in ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC (pre-Core), the compilation process is dynamic and happens at runtime if source files like .cshtml, .aspx, and .cs files are present on the server.

ASP.NET uses just-in-time (JIT) compilation for views (.cshtml, .aspx, .ascx, etc.) and sometimes for code-behind files (.cs). When a request hits a page, ASP.NET dynamically compiles these files into temporary assemblies.

If there’s a syntax error, missing semicolon, incorrect type, or any other compilation issue, the process will fail and throw a 500 error.

When rich people can edit their kids DNA won't that just lock everyone else out and create a new class?

There is already a separate class of rich people

The thing you are afraid of is already happening

Rich people and their kids get world class health care, including helicopter flights to hospitals for life saving surgery. The rest of us die in the waiting room.

Rich people and their kids never have to work a day in their lives. We all have to work until we die.

Rich people and their kids get to enjoy luxury, fulfillment, gratification and a style of living that we cannot possibly imagine. We have to pirate movies because we can't afford to see them in theaters.

looking back, some of my educators were monumentally stupid

OVERSHARING TIME

My body doesn't burp; when I drink something carbonated I have to physically gag myself with something to get the air out. When I was a kid I didn't know this and would get pain in my stomach and didn't understand why.

Coke with my lunch two days in a row resulted in trips to my home room teacher to ask to see the nurse, or go home. My home room teacher crossed her arms and said, "this is the second day in a row you've done this to us," and lectured me about trying to get out of class. I had no way of proving that I was actually in pain. I was angry and scared and couldn't do anything about it. Do not give me the keys to the time machine or there will be violence.
