It’s so funny how something very American happens, in an American way, with all kinds of American touches, and this comment section is always redirecting the hatred to China. Not weird shit at all.

i have never, ever, ever seen an industry where union shops didn’t make more on average with better benefits than their non-union competitors. just making up shit at this point because you’ve never actually experienced it.

even with scabs it’s not that easy. training a dev to be familiar with a codebase takes a while. good devs i know can do it in a month, more standard is like three months to get up to speed. and a lot of these gamedev codebases are old and buggy as hell. i definitely agree there would have to be significant solidarity…

thatcherist nonsense that doesn’t even hold up to even the most basic intellectual curiosity.

Perhaps if you shut the fuck up for 5 seconds you would see how absolutely idiotic it is to get worked up about Hong Kong when the company in question also literally hired a torture defender from your own fucking country’s government, from a war that killed potentially as many as 1 million people and put religious…

oh that’s literally a comedy bang bang reference, a long-running paul f. tompkins character

The United States has supported multiple genocides, from the mass murder of over one million communists, atheists, etc. in Indonesia to the brutal, Saudi-led massacring of tens of thousands of Yemenis. And also, China doesn’t even crack top 20 executions per capita by nation. China and the US are both in the mid-20s.…

You don’t get to speak for all Asians, the hell is this comment about.

“Blizzard is acting all authoritarian like those fucking Asians” - person who lives in the country that spends the most on the military, has the highest incarceration rate, has the highest absolute number of prisoners, regularly interferes in elections of other countries, regularly overthrows democratically elected…

In Austria you can call in for 1-3 paid sick days (length depends on the company) without a sick note, and without explaining what your illness is. It’s a genuine life-saver for me with anxiety and for women I’ve spoken with who have period pains.

I know It is not exactly super easy material to adapt, but god that second movie was bad. Every single scare was undercut with lame attempts at comedy and corny self-empowerment nonsense that really did not work for me. I cannot imagine a worse fit for this project.

Ben & Jerry’s decided to be socially active, they wouldn’t have attracted so much controversy if they hadn’t. And hey, maybe if they are that conscious of it they’ll take some steps to, y’know, not profit off of human misery.

No, they don’t run the account, what. Cohen hasn’t been CEO since the 90s and after him and Greenwald stepped down they company was solid to Unilever in 2000. They’re on the board but they definitely are not running the social media lol.

have a fit about it, you little whiner. cars are a leading contributor to climate change, and oil companies spent decades knowingly pushing nonsense science that cynics could repeat for their self interest and morons would lap up so they didn’t have to consider a world beyond individualistic car-centricness. you can…

you shut your hole and leave limmy alone he’s a treasure

There’s a new, loud segment of people who think “good art” means “art that has a good message that I agree with” which is indistinguishable from the attitude of the oppressive Christian community I grew up in. It is so idiotic and choking and makes for the most boring art possible.

I appreciate that about the movies and I still think they’re badly written and sloppily made.

This is a really well-written review, thank you!

lol listen, i don’t think anyone can comment on whether kemper is a racist, but framing the veiled prophet ball as just a “beauty contest” is extremely historically stupid. i also think just framing it as racist was a bit of a misstep. it was founded by racist elites using the same mystic aesthetics that were popular…

Depends on what you’re talking about, consumer safety or employee safety.
