Can You Hear the Shame-Bells?

If a company holds a “we care” day, then they’re only trying to make people think they care. If a company actually does care then they don’t need a day for it, their actions would show it throughout the year.

“We care” days are nothing but proof that you don’t. A few employees that care doesn’t mean the company does.

“...to try and improve the communities where our employees and our customers live and work,”

Altruistic people will be altruistic regardless. I’m not a big fan of corporations taking credit for the volunteer work of their employees or of people allowing their good deeds to be used to give good PR to evil people.

They care so much they fired me after 27 years of employment. Went out sick on leave with terrible anxiety. Next thing I know I am losing my benefits. Said they sent me a letter in the mail that I never received stating that I was being terminated for not returning to work .I was in The hospital. So comcast cares.

Yup. My old company does exactly the same.

The Daily Shows America the Book prediction of the future of news is coming to pass.

What tf was that?

But...it did stop her from pushing forward. She literally lost the election because even her most ardent supporters just didn’t like her all that much.

People also seem to overlook the fact of Hillary Clinton’s presidency seeming dynastic when Americans of every stripe were rejecting the concept in 2016. They were tired of the idea that only 2 American families have run the White House since 1988 save that 8 year period of glory that was Barack Obama.

Yeah but ummm people not liking you can and does kill political careers. You can’t run for president knowing that people don’t like you and do nothing to change that. You also can’t them antagonize those same people and think it’ll help.

But Hillary never asked herself why people don’t like her. She went into West Virginia and told the coal workers they were fucked. No empathy and no solutions to their plight. It goes beyond not being likable. That was just some top shelf hubris.

Yeah, as someone living in Western NY it feels like our region doesn’t even exist in these discussions. While NYC is a significant portion of the state’s population, it’s geographically miniscule compared to the large and diverse state. I just wish there’d be more recognition of the voters around the state because we

You come in, hoping to read some gaming news and then...

Thing is, it wasn’t really an adaptation. It was the same proper nouns as the book, but the plot was at best a strange jumble of all seven. Imagine trying to tell the entire Song of Ice and Fire or Harry Potter series as a 1:40 minute movie.

I would forgive its weird “Dark Tower remixed” storytelling concept, its lack of Eddie & Susannah, and a pretty crummy script if they’d at least gotten Roland right. But they didn’t. They made him into a reluctant hero who literally says he doesn’t care about the Dark Tower. After that, do you think a single fan of

It wasn’t even sort of an adaptation of the Gunslinger, which was a bad choice - The Gunslinger could make for a tight, effective movie. This was just a mess. My reaction when I was it was that we got the equivalent of trying to cram all of the Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter into a 95-minute movie.

I don’t see how it’s based on The Gunslinger at all, other than sharing character names. The Gunslinger is about Rolands ceaseless pursuit of the Man in Black across unfathomable distance and time, his discovery that what he really seeks is the tower, about the world moving on and decaying. The movie is about his
