You’re so silly, of course far worse has been done in that chamber by actual senators.

Okay but what if the female staffers were from different sides of the aisle, and the whole thing started as a fight between them.

Okay, okay, I hear you but, let me try out the ol’ “this wouldn’t happen if it was two straight staffers who’s video had gotten posted on the internet” bit on you.

No one’s clutching anything except for you grasping at straws dudebra. Look, you have sex at a normal workplace, you get fired, it’s pretty normal, and it kinda doesn’t matter if you work at Halliburton or the ACLU.  Your presence will be a perpetual distraction to everyone from that day forward.  

It’s gross and dumb and what happens or doesn’t happen in that room because of the people that Americans choose to send to Washington doesn’t really change that?

It’s not a boneheaded response at all, you just believe that a narrative changes underlying realities.  Fact is even with all of those anecdotes you shared, Activision’s revenue, in 2023, long after Blizzard’s been “a shell of it’s former self” and CoD has had it’s ebbs and flows, they’re still making $7 billion in…

You’re talking about a company they purchased that makes 7 billion dollars in revenue a year. The settlements Activision is paying from the prior regime are not game changing numbers in the slightest in terms of the transaction.  Activision could continue to pay these settlements in perpetuity and Microsoft would…

Oh you sweet summer child. As a part of the M&A diligence Microsoft definitely had these types of settlements squarely in focus and adjusted their pricing for them. Ever since Bank of America got scorched by it’s Federal Reserve arm-twisted purchase of Countrywide litigation review is one of the hottest topics in M&A…

Amazon is fine for most things you actually need and you forget that shopping with care was also a thing of the past for most normal people. You have been so deeply steeped in the most convenient culture that has ever existed that life’s minor inconveniences become harder and harder for you to cope with.

I mean, look, I’d have thought that about Cyberpunk and No Man’s Sky but they did the same thing that Bethesda is discussing here to pretty resounding commercial and critical success.

This is the sort of practical, workable advice from commenters for grass touching normies that I missed for the few weeks Jezebel was offline.  It’s good to have your sage wisdom back dudebra.

It feels kind of sad that I  vaguely remember that thread?  

That’s definitely boilerplate, and they certainly don’t want snark below that, so I wouldn’t take the lack of a comment section to mean anything one way or the other.

It makes sense. The harsh truth is that potential buyers before the shut down probably were excited about the history of the brand but not so much about the financial profile created by the labor costs they would have had to absorb that would have mandated a fight with a union that has a reputation for being…

ut I had to make my own fun

You’re saying that like who to actually blame doesn’t matter.

Down at the crick poking zombies with a stick,

And now I’m daydreaming up a zombie apocalypse show that consists of Boyd Crowder and Raylan Givens exchanging zingers while offing zombies and managing to outwit or outdraw every villain who enters the story between them.

This comment brought to you by Vivaldi’s “In Spring” — when shoving a stick up your butt, arching your pinkie and scoffing at the nicks in your neighbors estate fence gilding as your chauffeur drives you from Boffington Manor to the Club at Windingham Heights for a round of squash in an ascot isn’t enough to signal…
