Now this right here is how you do it.  Full tilt, no filter, bat shit crazy on a tear for a solid hour.  Just awesome.  I could watch this video on a loop.

Dojo is rad. Her music is rad. Her choice to give it up due to the exploitative nature of show business and the fucking entitlement/inherent shittiness of people is rad.

I don’t really see it as poor sportsmanship as it is more of a post-game celebration akin to popping off your seat or spiking the ball. I mean gears of war has entire mechanic around executing your opponents in Brutal fashion, and not once have I taken offense to being executed. Also, Halo Infinite is limited in it’s…

I’ve been tricked into MLM “hangouts” enough to know that I hate them and they are friendship enders for me.

Scarcity is something quite a lot of people enjoy. They’re called billionaires. If the technology to duplicate food items ad infinitum existed, billionaires would do everything in their power to prevent us from feeding everyone who needed food. And they would most likely succeed.

Even if Phil Spencer looks like the gaming buddy you always wanted and their Pass is a ‘great deal’ to many, Microsoft is not a force for good (or evil but that is another discussion).

Class solidarity guarantees the chances of this happening are 0%. MS execs will talk shit about him, and maybe not even invite him on ski trips. But they would NEVER set a precedence of one of their own being denied the most golden parachute legally possible.

Here I was hoping Microsoft would stab Kotick in the back by preparing a binder full of just cause for firing after everything is said and done. Kotick sucks up so much potential gaming content with that pay grade and leaving costs as much as a low level MCU film. 

i’d watch gamer feminists tear into chuds forever, and if the name facilitates, power to'em

Every non-union employee who has been treated well is just lucky.

It should be offensive enough that seemingly all these top executive communications keep failing to acknowledge, whatever the main topic may be, that they’ve already failed, and all employees are doing have been about consequences for failure.

Once you sign that document, you will have signed over to CWA the exclusive right “to represent [you] for the purposes of collective bargaining concerning all terms and conditions of employment.” That means that your ability to negotiate all your own working conditions will be turned over to CWA, just as the document…

If any industry needs unionization it is software development. They are underpaid and overworked. They are forced to live in some of the most expensive cities in the country but only given modest salaries. They are crunched. They literally have an industry-wide cycle that consists of being worked doggedly for months…

Legit surprised to not see any mention that the workspace is a family, as you say. Perhaps not the oldest trick in the book (as the initial rise of unions were met with a more direct “fuck you you’re nothing die in a fire” from the bosses) but a classic nonetheless.

That means that your ability to negotiate all your own working conditions will be turned over to CWA, just as the document says.

I’ll never understand why people call these games “free.” If you have to pay for a service in order to receive them, they aren’t free. The games you receive with XBLG and PS+ are not free. The games you receive with Amazon Prime are not free. You only receive them if you pay for a subscription. You don’t get them…

The advice would be the same for any other furniture. Wood is better than the medium to high density fiberboard. The low density stuff (fiberboard, chipboard) will probably not survive the assembly process without some damage, then will immediately start drooping.  I actually trust Ikea stuff over most similarly…

Same! Probably half my furniture is from Ikea from across 20 years and like 10 moves (several cross-country) and I’ve never had to get rid of something because it broke or whatever. If you pack well and treat your furniture well, it will be last.

Yeah, the problem isn’t casting 20 year olds for teens. They do it all the time.
