Going by OP's name and post history... absolutely
And then an asteroid hits
You could get up and do something about it right now.
They were sensory deprived to an extreme extent. It doesn't matter that there are people around if you can't see them, can't hear them, can't feel them. You're severely downplaying the effect of that to make the box seem worse.
In the box, you can stimulate your hearing so you won't get auditory hallucinations. You can also feel things and tap the side of the box, etc. I assume it's dark, so you may get some visual hallucinations. I'm not sure how darkness affects that. It's manageable, though.
Isolation is torture when it's a very long or even indeterminate duration. Two days is a duration that most people can endure, as per the experiment. You know that going in and can prepare yourself mentally.
I've endured severe pain, I've endured panic attacks, and I've endured bad trips without time and a fractured reality. I don't know what kind of life you've led, but my experience tells me that while two days in a box is absolutely going to be a miserable experience, it will quickly be forgotten.
Edit: And with a million bucks, I can pay for a good therapist, which I need regardless.
You're just asserting things without evidence or reason.

Most people in voluntary isolation (with sensory deprivation too!) will quit after a couple of days. I don't know what $20 a day amounts to in today's money, but it ain't a million.
I've tripped balls where the concept of time was torn asunder. Wasn't a great time, but time still passed by, and my mind didn't "break" or whatever it is people believe will happen.
You can't actually experience a lifetime in those moments of eternity.
It can feel like an eternity in the moment, but it's still just ten seconds.
A million dollars is only about 15 years of wages for me, and I'd still do it (assuming competence on part of the people making the offer).
Okey dokey, let's talk.
Judging by the yt comments, you're subscribed to a channel that caters heavily to racists, so I don't have high hopes here.
Antagonism level of the cops here: 3/10, I have some notes
Called in backup. Put victim on ground in handcuffs. Tried to search his car without cause. Harmed the victim needlessly.
Antagonism level of the suspect: 12/10,
Literally walked away to avoid conflict.
I get that both the cop and the big dude are basically just scared and reacting poorly out of fear.
Only one of them is armed with a lethal weapon and regularly assaults people. The cop is actively pursuing conflict, whereas the victim is avoiding it.
Two particular things really pissed me off from the cops' side: At the end they can't seem to understand, or don't want to understand, that they're fucking up his shoulders. There's no urgency to standing him back up, and he's understandably upset because he's in a lot of pain, and he seems pretty ready at that point to work with them, if they show him a little calm and empathy or just back off and let the medically qualified hospital staff deal with him.
I see absolutely no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt. It's their job. They regularly have people in a position like that. They were hurting him intentionally.
And, in the beginning, the whole situation was escalated by the initial cop, who clearly seemed scared and unsure and didn't do a perfect job and specifically requested an uncalled-for violent response just because the guy was yelling and being unreasonable ("step it up" basically means "I am in a physical fight right now and may lose, drop everything you're doing and come in guns blazing," it's one of the highest-priority calls you can make and clearly didn't apply to the situation he was in).
What you're saying here is that the first cop was fixing to get someone killed. 3/10 though.
But, that doesn't mean you can just refuse to participate in a traffic stop, wander off somewhere else and keep conducting your personal business, start SCREAMING aggressively at the police in a Walgreen's when they try to talk to you, and have an expectation that it's all on them to make sure it turns out well, otherwise that's unfair. IDK what ultimate outcome he realistically expected from what he did other than getting violently arrested once more cops arrive.
He was afraid. Justifiably so, given that the cop acted in a way that could have gotten him killed. The generous reading here is that you're making excuses for gross incompetence. Why?
And yeah, at that point, they're going to look for whatever they can charge you with and aim to fuck up your life.
Why should we just accept that as a given? That's not their job.
What outcome would you suggest that the cops do in this situation?
You're ignoring the long history of systemic abuse that plays into this. To improve that, it is the party favored by the power imbalance who must go above and beyond.
Do you think the cops in that video acted with excellence?
Actual reasonable approach: follow the man in. Don't keep making demands of him to stop, etc. Just keep up and explain to him that you're going to ticket him for a broken break light, and if he accepts that you'll be on your way. If he refuses, instruct him to get it fixed asap and take down his number plate so you can send the ticket in the mail. Cars usually have several brake lights. One of them being broken really isn't a big deal.
Just leave, or let him leave, or what?
Not the worst outcome, but I know you're horny for some JUSTICE.
In the sense that it applies to games already released, but not to previous installs. Allegedly. One of the main problems with all of this is that detecting only "valid" installs is a very hard problem, if not impossible. Unity's attitude seems to be that devs just have to trust their numbers.
Additionally, some devs are reporting that they've been offered a pass on all this bs, if they switch to Unity's own ad platform.
Are you implying that helping birds avoid windows is an unsolved problem?
