You know, I might not know which side the man himself falls on, but Bill Engvall’s bit is so apt for this trio — “Oh, you’re an idiot. Here’s your sign.”

Shithole America is the worst place in America. It just happens to represent roughly 1/3rd of the country by population and about 2/3rds of it by acreage. In other words, America’s problem is America, one created and carefully nurtured for decades by one specific corrupt, greedy party of malcontents. This problem…

I hadn’t heard that, but it doesn’t surprise me in the least. It takes a certain kind of mind to find power appealing -- the kind of mind that should never have any kind of power. Ever.

“If you’re in charge and something happens, you’re responsible. If you’re in charge and something doesn’t happen, you’re responsible.”

The sad thing is, I’ve kept up with real-time work done by professional and hobbyists using techniques and capabilities of present-day hardware/software, and I can confirm that current engines were capable of doing justice to more diversity than they were ever tasked with handling. The restrictive poly-count handicap…

Hypocrites, crooks, liars, and thieves, what the Republican whines most about is the what the Republican practices and believes.

Hard to say if it’s lying or just hypocrisy. The GOP loves both equally. But either way, they’re shitty people of a cult which prides itself on its shittinesss to other people. Light ‘em all on fire and let their god sort it out later. Humanity can’t really afford to indulge them any longer.

And he should have had his medical license stripped from him after that batshit display of incompetence and stupidity. He’s a danger to anyone in the same room as him.

...until an actual crime has been committed, a police officer’s authority over the public is — lemme check — exactly nothing. And officers flexing authority they do not have is called — lemme check again — right, harassment, and harassment that leads to physical injury is called assault.

Things this rotten aren’t invisible. Either he knew and chose to do nothing, or he chose not to see it. Either way, he didn’t ‘fail’ them. He *chose* to be part of the problem rather than the solution.

Exactly. There is simply no way the head of a department being investigated and approached by state officials is *NOT* going to know about it without gross negligence of his duties — like never being in the office, never reading his emails or answering his phone, etc, ie a ‘blizzard employee’ only by technicality.

I’ve often likened WoW to a sociopath’s playground. So many easily avoidable design decisions were inexplicably repeated that openly and actively promoted sociopathic behaviors among the playerbase. One expansion after another, the same kinds of shit would get added (and I’m not talking about the multitude ‘poop’ quest…

“Race played no part in the actions of the flight crew who were following established protocols.”

...but some don’t believe him

I would argue that it might better to, rather than change the name, change how the character is depicted — in chains, for example, or in stocks, with children throwing rotten vegetables at him. Changing the character’s name simply paves over past transgressions. Don’t try to erase history. Correct how people see and…

Even if CA gets favorable ruling in the state, it’ll get appealed and keep getting appealed, because Activision can stonewall the judgment almost indefinitely with the way the system is set up. Which means they can, almost literally, keep doing it with impunity right where they are. And if it goes to the supreme court…

And yet, the most likely result will be grand total of nothing. Because this has been going on for DECADES, across this and most other industries. And do you know how much has changed over that time? Almost. Nothing. It’s still happening. It’s still flagrant. It’s built right into the way companies operate and are…

*Probably*

And just stood around, watching it happen without intervening...like, dood...you guys just watched an assault happen. Did you just forget what your job was??

Two scenarios:
