Building a space launch company, a multi-thousand satellite constellation, and the most successful EV company is a snake-oil salesman?

No worries. The moment they see her blackness and femaleness, they’ll get woke and stop the war.

Yeah, how dare they ask her to handle a crisis. Do they think a half black woman is competent enough to be President?

Was about to say the same thing but you said it more eloquently/less rudely. Cause sweet jesus is the braindead whataboutism responses getting old fast. 

Since when has Nintendo released a war game set in the modern ear which rages war against brown people? If Blue Moon was not so obvious Russia and the game did not start with them invading another country, then maybe your complaint would have some merit. But Advance Wars is a direct parallel to current events. 

I do so enjoy these reminders of how truthful the constant whine of Republicans is about how all the media does is push these pro-DemocRAT narratives...

why the hell isn’t that part of their negotiations.

Hey uh, fuck slideshows.

You should comply. That’s the only correct answer. For fuck's sake, are you trying to get us shot?

... you ever get the feeling that “below expectations” involves the same kind of magical math that makes the most successful films of all time never be profitable, except for the fact that all the suits get all the money from them?

I’m 6' and I don’t have any problem with her being fired. I can’t pretend to comprehend the cultural implications of the slang she used, but you can say “I prefer tall men” without saying “Short men aren’t humans and should have surgery to fix their defect”. Replace tall/short with any other immutable identifier about…

Would you react the same way if she’d said “fat people have no rights, they should all get bariatric surgery”?

I think a person is being inappropriate anytime they suggest that someone is lesser because of a physical feature, and say they should get painful surgery to fix the supposed deficiency. That goes for the comments here, as well as the (far more common) comments women get about their physical features.

“It’s not solely a problem with Horizon Forbidden West, nor is it a problem limited to video games. You see it across popular genre fiction these days, as everything from Star Wars to the Marvel Cinematic Universe doubles down on plot over people, going so far as to fill in backstories for enigmatic characters who…

A few caveats

GTA V was free on Epic Games Store for a while, too. I’m sure LOTS of people grabbed it (myself included) and never played it (myself included).

Take that, Singstar!

Of course if you read the sources for the sales amounts, several of them are years out of date... eg Fallout’s 38 million uses Fallout4 counts from a 2018 article, Fallout76 counts from a Feb 2019 article, 4 months after release and 3 years not counted.

“This may seem like an overly cynical and bad-faith interpretation of what Critical Role is doing with this new campaign.”

You’re one step away from straight up making the headline “We Make Money Every Time We Talk About Wordle”.

Give it a damn break already.
