Reee going into histrionics about these Activison-Blizzard firings is something else. It's always sad to see people lose their jobs, but that happens every day in America. What makes it so special this time?

Because REE doesn’t genuinely care but the ‘correct’ approach is feel sorry about it and decrying the (admittedly childlike) schadenfreude from “lesser gamers”. Because they are part of the industry even if the only dev regularly posting there is Stinkles while everyone else fucks off.

[Averon]

I don't know why people are calling for unionization over this. We know they are doing it because they winded down HOTS, spun off Bungie, and consolidated customer services between Activistion and Blizzard. What of these are evil, employee damning practices? HOTS was always doing poorly, Bungie is better off separated, and having two different customer service operations within one company as though they are two is nonsense. Also, they clearly said resources will be reallocated into what has been successful, ergo what we the consumers have actually engaged in. We did not engage in HOTS en masse, therefore it gets reduced and not every team has openings.

Looks to be a reasonable take on things. Lets see how Reee responds:

fuck you

People just lost their jobs crying in the parking lot. No clue what to do the next day and we get post like this.

Tell that to the 800 people who won’t have jobs anymore after tonight. See if it “makes sense” to them.

I imagine that is a mayor hurdle. Still, I think people are not wrong in trying to make better conditions for the industry. I just laugh when the people calling for it at totally clueless.

I don't think I'm any kind of hero, but I don't think people should stand by and watch other people be terrorized.

Like I said, I'm not going to stand around and watch this happen. Perhaps the man was known to the police and he could be violating some kind of parole by engaging in this behaviour, or perhaps this incident would put them on their radar and help seek a conviction in future events. What he did was wrong, and I don't regret doing what I did at all.

A fully regret letting my guard down as the guy wasn't threatening to me, and had I been paying attention I wouldn't have been hit. And when I was paying attention and saw him pull a weapon, I did the exact right thing and backed off (had he tried to pursue me I could have easily outrun him).

I'm no hero and deserve no praise.  But I can't just sit idly by and watch an act or terrorism.  But I'm no hero it's just that the world has no use for another weak man.

I'm don't think of myself as a hero, but I will not stand by . . .



In the presence of evil.

No hero!

Hey, leftist Jews being upset about Omar's tweet is not bad faith backlash, and you can fuck all the way off with the assertion that it was.

Because they're fuckin morons and think that apologizing for a dumb tweet and building bridges with the community that it offended is some kind of capital offense.

I'm glad that my feelings are completely invalid, you piece of shit. AOC actually understands how to behave around marginalized people, and actually cares about us, which is more than I can say for a significant part of the "left".

https://www.resetera.com/threads/us-poliera-2019-ot2-presidentpelosi.95742/page-259#post-17845256

So I'm a ~~~biased actor~~~ because my fucking family was decimated by antisemitic violence, and I've spent my whole life dealing with the same bullshit dogwhistles about money that Omar looked like she was using, and because I was hurt, and because she apologized for causing hurt, and because AOC understands how to speak to a historically marginalized people instead of speaking over them, I'M the bad guy? Sorry, I don't know you, but you're a fucking monster.



Maybe you should log off, leave your fuckin dorito stained keyboard for once in your life, and talk to a real life Jewish person so that maybe you can one day understand a tenth of the pain that we've gone through. This Israel-Palestine shit is massively complicated, and as someone who is pro-Palestine, the way that idiots on both sides try to act like it's the simplest thing ever makes me sick to my stomach.

I was at a restaurant owned by a friend who was throwing an anniversary party of sorts;  place was kinda rowdy... I look up at the bar and see my friend arguing with a guy about something, she's like 5'2" and he honestly looked like he might punch her...   Well I wanted a drink anyways and thought I would try to diffuse whatever it was.. so I walk up and say something like "Hey let's chill out let me buy some drinks we can work whatever this is out" and kinda put my hand on arguing dude's shoulder.

His friend from behind then proceeds to knock me out, and repeatedly stomped my head.  I woke up the next day in the hospital.

I have been living with the impact of a traumatic brain injury ever since (about 15 years now.)

Not to defend "Capitalism" (or this specific instance of downsizing) but do they think there would not be some sort of workforce allocation mechanism ("layoffs"), and one without any friction, in a different system ? There's plenty that could be done to mitigate the effects or to remove the incentive for companies to part with workers at the drop of an hat.

Either way you look at it he's a serial killer.


se·ri·al kill·erDictionary result for serial killer
noun
noun: serial killer; plural noun: serial killers
a person who commits a series of murders, often with no apparent motive and typically following a characteristic, predictable behavior pattern.

Trump is unpredictable though so the keyword in that definition is TYPICALLY... by that definition he is a serial killer through his actions and those that have died from his policy implementation. Hopefully Serial Killer X is behind bars soon.
