Not at all. This is called “getting ahead of the narrative.” The question doesn’t have to have been asked directly for someone to begin reframing it. The “best” disingenuous scammers are already that one step ahead of you.

“Is that something I regret in our journey as Xbox? Absolutely,” he told Axios in an interview. “Do I think we came out of that experience better than we were going in? Yes, as a team, we kind of said those things won’t define us.”

That some people say they hate it but click on it and comment and complain on it anyways instead of just seeing something they don’t want to read and move on with their life?

They’re about games?

Stop it. The “it’s a joke” or “he didn’t know any better” argument is suuuuuuuch a fucking cop-out. He’s a grown ass man and he knew exactly what he was doing and the message he was trying to show. I’m not fooled, though some of you clearly are.

He knows exactly what he was doing and who that would rile up. He fully understood he was contributing to an already bad atmosphere of violence

Any car will last with appropriate maintenance. The hype for how bad BMWs are in terms of overengineering... is real. And you feel that while working on them.

They literally said “once all the kids are grown”

Not to mention the endless shifting of risk to the workers. No we won’t cover your reasonable expenses. You work for yourself, not us so you figure it out. This isn’t unique to trucking either. You’re right. If they keep screwing the little guy over and over, they’ll be lucky if all they do is walk away.

I doubt that Mercedes meant it that way. The greed is from the companies that hire drivers and refuse to pay them enough to keep them on the job. The independent contractor bullshit also gives the drivers no security, and low pay + no job security = everyone who can work elsewhere telling the employers to eat shit.

Under this type of guideline, you would need to include those who are into necrophilia, beastiality, furries, and pedophiles.

I suggest you look up what “tokenization” means to understand the context. Actiblizz cynically tried to fit multiple marginalized identities into a single PR-stunt appointment, then treated her like shit.

They are probably working off press-releases for some of the articles plus it helps cement the reality that if she were not these things she would likely fare better in the org.

In an ideal world, you’d be right. But we don’t live in an ideal world, and pretending we do will continue to leave those marginalized communities behind.

In it [Oneal] said he was paid less than her newly appointed counterpart, Mike Ybarra, and felt “tokenized, marginalized, and discriminated” during her time at the company.

What if they want healthcare paid for with...their taxes?  Because I pay taxes, and I’d rather have my taxes pay for healthcare instead of doing oil subsidies or some shit like that.

Every taxpayer would be contributing towards the cost of healthcare for everyone

You sure I’m the one being oversensitive here boss?

Paid by everyone for everyone, free at point of service. It’s not a gotcha to describe how taxes work to fund public services.

No. See : pretty much every other 1st-world country.
