Anyone arguing for the right to destroy official records is almost certainly doing something illegal. Keeping them confidential and requiring privileged access for external review is one thing, but outright destroying them? Hell f***ing no. And it’s not like they do a good job of keeping track of police misconduct in…

Some poor people do. Many do not. And certainly not to the amount that goes into those ‘programs for the poor.’ Because the only reason those programs get enacted is because some rich people stood to benefit more. Like food stamps. Do you know why those are around? It’s not for the poor people. It’s for the megacorp…

They kind of have to hit the ground running, and I wish them the best of luck, because the Republican party has made it known that they’re absolutely fine with fighting as dirty as it takes to get in power and stay there (but heaven forbid they lose, because then, clearly the democrats must have cheated). As it…

Of course something like this is ‘legal.’ Who do you think the tax laws are written by — right, by rich people, for rich people. That’s why the US tax code is so ****ing broken — rich people rigging the system to disproportionately place the burden of running a functioning society onto someone else. It’s also why the…

A lot of things are lost or diminished as a consequence of the whole world’s ever-increasing focus on commodification and profit maximization.

How many people were part of the suit? Because $80m isn’t exactly a significant penalty for Riot, and divided among all the suggested, applicable current and former employees and contractors, that’s a pretty diluted ‘compensation’ being given to the people Riot wronged.

Don’t forget about the possibility that they’re a bunch of fools who’ve lapped up the ‘can’t be wrong’ cop propaganda bullshit. I mean, there’s the high probability of also being racist, but that’s not the only reason.

At least several months. Jaskier and Geralt parted ways near the ‘end’ of season 1 — shortly after which, Geralt takes Ciri to Kae Morhen — and according to Jaskier, when we see him again, that’s how much time had passed.

“Look at all these awful things I have to do to win! Can you imagine what the those terrible Democrats are doing to win? Because it must be worse. Clearly.”

Large organizations are *RARELY* efficient. At anything. As they grow, it becomes easier and easier to hide inefficiencies, and the ‘value’ of hiding said inefficiencies within the structure of the organization increases. It’s essentially a feedback loop, where both problems continually exacerbate each other. Add with…

Smaller developers don’t have the funds to keep the studio solvent for extended periods of time while they work on their games (particularly since *publishers* often demand the rights before they’ll agree to publish). They have to ‘crunch’ because it’s that or go bankrupt and get nothing from that time at all.

But we let murders, rapists, child molesters, corrupt politicians and businessmen — who destroy AT LEAST as many lives with their shit — off with far lesser sentences. This isn’t ‘the sword of justice’ at work. This is just beating someone to death for the sheer, sadistic pleasure of it.

Once again illustrating that the root of the problem is almost always the people up at or near the top — the people who, in truth, have nothing to do with what a company or business is producing or providing, ie the least useful or valuable part of the company or business, ie its most expendable ‘employees.’

Execs at these major publishers and studios get paid 100-1000 times what the average employee is paid. It definitely has a significant and negative impact, not simply on morale, but on production costs and consumer costs. And if you look at the track record of management and executive decisions, they’re rarely better…

No. It was an illusion from the start. The ‘rules’ of America’s ‘democracy’ were written by wealthy, land-owning, white men for the express purpose of serving the whims and wants of wealthy, land-owning, white men first and foremost. And by some strange ‘coincidence’ it has pretty consistently served and abided the…

There’s some truth to this, but there’s also a cold, hard fact that there’s more and more executive ‘overhead’ being tacked onto these price tags to pay for people who expect more and more while contributing less and less.

MTG, the vile, bloviating, racist bitch, strings together random racist dog-whistle words to form a wishful hope for relevance. So, just your average Republican doing average Republican things.

That being said - EVERYONE SHOULD UNIONIZE.

The two weapons aren’t holstered on the same side of the hip for that reason. They don’t use the same firing safety mechanisms either. She ‘confused’ them the same way someone might confuse Michael Jordan for Gilbert Gottfried.

Proportions aren’t just a matter of height. Leg length to torso length to head size and neck, etc, etc.
