This is very convenient for a lot of people. She’s a public figure and makes an easy scapegoat. And we need one of these every once in a while. Everyone will see this as a kind of rare occurrence and, when the law brings the hammer down on her, will feel justice has been served and move on. All the criminal and…

He acknowledges the problem, but still shows he is defensive, misses the point, and unwilling to do the deep work necessary to accomplish what he says here he wants to accomplish. Bringing about a change in culture will not happen unless the leadership team is ready to hold themselves accountable, take ownership of…

You should admit that you were wrong for this and apologize to Jason for this comment because it was really off base. Jason has done more to draw attention to the problem you are describing and pressure developers to make a change than anyone else I can think of. If you care about this issue, support those that are…

I can cosign this because I have first hand experience of it. 

I’m not gonna rant here I just encourage you to look up why someone would wait. I have a close friend who has still not spoken up about something for fear it will damage her career opportunities (this person is a highly influential mentor in her university and is well connected in the industry she is trying to break…

I think the culture wars and this whole being offended thing is very surface level stuff. I doubt that it has enough impact on either side to contribute to depression. As a person of color growing up in the south, I’ve experienced racism in many different ways. Some of these had a very real impact on my life, and…

The easy choice, but not the cheap one.

Yikes

Mubi is good! The concept is: Every day a movie comes, everyday a movie goes. You have some nice selections. I’ve seen a lot of movies I never would have seen from that, some are among my all time faves now. So it’s good for that reason but also the format makes it easy to decide. I often can’t do netflix because I’m…

And ultimately that’s what I’m saying. They always have that choice. I don’t think it’s necessarily right either I don’t endorse it. If I was dictator of America I would make laws that protected creatives from the pressures of market capitalism. But then again I’m an evil commie bastard by most American standards. But…

No in that case they still would. They have the freedom to negotiate, to make a case for why any particular feature in the game should be included. It’s not like there is a law against doing that. They are choosing to do business with Sony. And Sony, as a business, has the right to negotiate as well, and to make…

They have the freedom to censor their game if they want. You have the freedom to buy it or not if you want.

Capitalism. 

Sounds like you read eash and eh and didn’t read past that. 

Unions are not corporations.

It’s undeniable that there has been a campaign by major corporations to convince people that unions are evil and that this has been happening since as long as there have been unions. There’s just a whole sea of evidence for that being the case. I’ve witnessed it myself one time, seeing people being punished and…

I too heard that. 

“We feel that body positivity is all about being confident in your body. There is no better way to improve body confidence than by improving your health and figure.”

I don’t think that’s the point. Exercise is indeed a good anti-depressant. It is also true that if you lack confidence in yourself because you think your body is ugly, that losing weight will probably improve your confidence. This is worrisome, not because these things are not true, but because of the reasons that…

Yeah I think he or I got lost in the eloquence of all those words. He’s a good writer, but did we really need all that Criticism™ over an SNL episode?
