I was just saying that it's weird that he said "generation snowflake" while also saying all of the social progress that came from the age group who would be in that generation is a great thing. Social Progress that only exists because that age group was offended by something and wanted to do something about it. So he basically talked in a circle

Social progress is done by doing actual actions. NOT just tweeting and posting about it in echo chambers.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has criticised the “snowflake generation” for “looking for reasons to be offended”.
While praising the current climate for allowing people to “be who they want to be”, the 46-year-old actor said a certain sector of society are “actually putting us backward”.

"He added: “We thankfully now live in a world that has progressed over the last 30 or 40 years. People can be who they want, be with who they want, and live how they want.

“That can only be a good thing – but generation snowflake or, whatever you want to call them, are actually putting us backwards.”

Resetera is crazy, but have you guys heard of reddit?

Anyone actually concerned with this shutdown continuing?

Honestly, at this point I kinda hope it devolves to where the other side realizes just how important guns are and why they must never be surrendered.

I think it would be awesome for our cause, a real world demonstration. But i really hope we don't have to go against neighbors to do so

When I announced my own ban there, I got the message exactly right. I voted for Bolsonaro in Brazil, as I thought he would be less terrible than worker's party and he would not effectively have a fascist government, even though I agree he's an idiot, and said "well, but I'll obviously be banned for relativizing fascism".

I was permanently banned for relativizing fascism.

What exactly is that a suit for?

I don't think it's alleging the bonus was even illegal.  It's just basically a countersuit claiming he's a piece of shit and has done other illegal shit like CP and all that.   Does the suit say he has proof or is it just a bunch of accusations?

The bonus was for Gearbox as a company not Randy as a person.

My best guess:
- Gearbox is due for a 'bonus' pay-out for their performance from 2K
- Employees probably have some profit sharing scheme. Top level staff gets a bonus based on how much the company profits which is common in the gaming industry
- But Randy wires the 12 million he gets from 2K to himself as a 'personal bonus' instead
- Bonus time is due for everyone else and lo and behold they get a cut out of say $5 million instead of $17 million, because CP Randy has taken care of himself

Which is 'illegal' and damning enough if proven and doesn't make one popular with co-workers and business partners.
So throwing the CP allegations in the mix is just weird and frankly unecessary unless you want to destroy someone.

Can you actually quote where it says any of this?

Sorry not going to read your post, you are a fucking moron.

The lawsuit alleges that Pitchford struck a deal in 2016 to receive a “personal, secretive ‘Executive Bonus’ 0f $12,000,000 to be paid directly to Pitchford entity called ‘Pitchford Entertainment Media Magic, LLC.’” That bonus, Callender and his lawyers argue, is an advance upon royalties that would otherwise go to Gearbox’s staff. “This is particularly tragic exploitation,” the lawsuit states, “because these millions are being syphoned to Randy Pitchford’s personal accounts instead of funding the development of Borderlands.”

Is weird that is not in the title given that it would be the first thing most people are leaching on.

I can believe Pitchford laundering money, though.

[Nintex]

It says so in the lawsuit.

Pitchford himself who breached his fiduciary duties by exploiting Gearbox employees and property to fund Pitchford’s private cravings. For example, While Randy was denying ,employee raises predicated on low cash reserves, Randy secretly saddled Gearbox’s employees with the burdenof repaying a private, personal  12M “bonus” that Randy rerouted from Gearbox's Publisher directly to Randy's side entity"

He didn't raise employee salaries because 'low on cash' and they're low on cash because he took 12 million out of the company as a bonus.

It doesn't get more clear than that.

Otherwise ask Kirblar and get the fuck out

This is all a direct contadiction of the last thing you quoted.

Which literally says he struck a deal to DIRECTLY recieve a PERSONAL bonus.

That's because press sneak fuck can't read for shit.

Anyhow its semantics. If I would do this in Europe it would be money laundering.
If I did it in the US it would be making a 'deal'.

[Nintex]

Hmm I guess laundering isn't the correct term.
Maybe embezzlement or just fraud?

It's a grey area in terms of legal repercussions.

None of the above;  he's claiming he exploited his employees.

Which is not illegal;  it's called capitalism.  If there was an actual accusation of lawbreaking it would have said so.

https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/7iasbz/what_is_up_with_thank_god_im_not_anthony_burch/

As other commenters here pointed out his life has fallen apart after his wife and him opened their relationship and she started having sex with other people and he did not have any such luck (with either men or women).

So people say "Thank God I'm not Anthony Burch" because his life sucks but also because before and after this impasse in his life he is a huge asshole

So remember, if life seems to shit on you, lost your job, house, girlfriend, or overall things seem to be bad, just remember, at least you aren't a douchebag who flaunts his money to people, can't take criticism for his writing, gets cucked by his own wife and then have that very same wife take your Wii U in the divorce as you remain sexually confused... or at least you're not Anthony Burch.

not sure, rumor is the democrats kkk roots kept going into modern times and the welfare strategy of dependent voters, and drug and crap infested cities is part of their strategy. The welfare state, socialism, is part of their strategy, tax the successful regardless of race or gender so they breed less. They want to promote poverty suffering and dependence on government, buy votes with free stuff and dependence.
