In other words “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

American institutional sexism at its ‘finest.’

She’s been great in every role I’ve ever seen her in. She’s also a prime example of how Hollywood is *not* a place driven by talent. Because despite being a great actress, she’s never really been front and center in any show or movie. The closest she got was her role in Criminal Minds (and I absolutely understand why…

Yeah, how dare she not crater her career in a futile effort to get some respect from an industry that has a century-long history of belittling, marginalizing, attacking, and victimizing women.

No, it serves the sole purpose of ensuring that they can never harm anyone ever again. People in prison don’t stop being a danger (see: Hitler) just because they’re out of your line of sight. People in prison also get *out* of prison. People in prison also recruit more people to their ‘cause.’ Or are you unaware that w…

You’re right. I don’t condone rape. But I also don’t condone indulging the impulses of horrible people just because society has fooled itself into thinking that we should be infinitely ‘patient’ and ‘understanding’ of them. I reject such willful ignorance. Some people can’t be rehabilitated. Their problems can’t be…

Nice false equivalence. Nazi’s ‘felt’ that way towards entire groups of people, for no reason at all beyond ‘because they wanted to.’

Nice false equivalence. Nazi’s ‘felt’ that way towards entire groups of people, for no reason at all beyond ‘because they wanted to.’ They *WERE* the “Tates” of their time.

You don’t reform rotting, toxic garbage. You dispose of it.

Here’s hoping he gets thrown into a max-sec prison to spend the rest of his life as someone’s bitch — a punishment that piece of shit so richly deserves.

Even if you buy ‘the disc’ for games these days, many of them require zero-day patches to run. At all. And of those that do ‘run’ right out of the box, many of those have serious, even crippling bugs in them. Because the ‘we’ll fix it in post’ mentality has seeped into the market.

Stock buybacks are exactly as toxic and incestuous as they sound. And absolutely should be illegal or, at the very least, strictly regulated and extremely limited. Nothing even remotely good has ever come of the practice.

It’s not just that they’re human. They’re part of an industry that is ruthlessly adherent to the dictates of profit growth (ie, to people who don’t care about the product, only the amount of personal wealth they can extract from it), which puts the people trying to work in the industry in the position of being caught…

It certainly doesn’t help that the democratic party doesn’t really treat them much better. Certainly not ‘better’ enough for it to be obvious to anyone not intimately familiar with how the US government operates. Trump’s border and wall policies are still alive and well under Biden, after all. And it’s not like…

Even more deliciously absurd is the fact that the majority of the immigrants coming into the US are highly religious (Catholic, Christian, etc). They’d be a *LOCK* for Republican votes if the party could let go of their ethno-fascist Nazi-wannabe white-supremacist bullshit. But no. Their hate for not-white people is…

Another shining example of how “When the profit motive becomes unmoored from the purpose motive, bad things happen....”

Only property, something that is ‘owned,’ intellectual or otherwise, can be stolen or pirated. Something the owner of said property can be deprived of. Publishers like Nintendo claim the games players buy aren’t their property — discs, licenses, what have you — so no owner is being deprived of property when access or…

Posting record profits is why they’re throwing away their employees. Those record profits attracted lots of speculative investments. And that bill has come due, so they’re desperately trying to scrape together the money necessary to pay it the only way they can — throwing people under the bus to artificially reduce…

...and now Doom needs a mod where your ‘weapon’ is a Lawnmower —with upgrades to collect, of course. Bigger blades. More blades. Higher suspension. Better acceleration and top speed. That’s right, demons. Run. Run away....

This certainly looks like the pinnacle of the ‘whale hunting’ F2P model. The ‘whales’ become ‘investors,’ giving them even greater degrees of control over direction and priorities, while everyone else mostly gets crapped on by them. So, yeah, F2P, but especially in this form, is wholly incompatible with player/worker…
