That was a well written article by BrendanSinclair . I like the proactive debunking inside.
Won’t lie about half way through I lost a good amount of the excitement I had going in with how they spent as long if not longer trying to explain how’s and why’s of Cancel culture when this isn’t about that and never was.Like if this guy could learn much like many others have and saw the damage done and recognize GG earnestly and honestly then many would forgive them and meet them half way.Same with Rowling, many of us don’t want her gone, only to have her see the active harm and hatred is causing so much pain and damage not just to TransWomen but TransGender people and especially children, those that had placed her hopes in her (though their is some Racism there and I don’t want to over look that, so I have to at least mention it despite the Trans based article).Women and TransPeople at large don’t get a win by them trying to be understanding to us, we just get to live in peace and truly it’s all we want.
No.And it’s very unlikely they will as they are commented on this, and in some ways they really can’t.If they say they stand by what they said last year then they are going to be scene as Anti-Feminist.If they do and they fire the lead designer, then they are saying it’s NOT okay to have the “opinion” of being Anti-feminist, however it IS acceptable to be Transphobic like Rowling.So it’s either Double Down, Ignore, or highlight that they support Transphobia.
The IP is way too big to be affected by something like this, you need a video of people in the studio singing racist chants and even then who knows with the gaming having worldwide reach they would get away with it if the racism was ultra specific to a region.Look at how for years we have all known that China has concentration camps but nothing happens? sadly is kind of the same thing
I find a lot of Soviet block countries to have dumb edgy humor. It seems like this game has on the noise jokes about both sides. But of course Era can just not handle any slight joke. And I know they are in a rush to cancel everyone, but simply making a joke aimed at the left doesn’t make you a bigot. The Simpsons constantly would also make fun of the left, but I doubt they want to cancel all the memes from that.

Grammar Nazi sighted Big OOF YIKES
What do I do?? Say something, and hope that they answer???Folks have NO IDEA how much anxiety this causes me.
But what if this pisses the order taker off?? What if they are just really busy and planned to get to me five seconds before I rudely interrupted their process? They might even spit in my food.
I literally sat there for about five minutes before saying “good afternoon” in the most pleasant and non-condescending way I could.The person basically said “oh, I’m sorry” and proceeded to take my order. Crisis averted for now, but I don’t know if this will work every time! Like, maybe it was just the luck of the draw?
I tried to put my hand out of the window in a “can you believe this?” type of gesture for the folks behind me. I didn’t want anyone thinking that I’m literally taking that long to make up my mind or something. Unsure if I was convincing.
The only thing I can think of that would help me is if there was a sign that stated clearly “if you don’t hear from us on the speaker in 60 seconds, please speak up” or something to that effect.Well, even then I might think that I’m threatening someone else’s job by being the butthole that speaks up instead of just politely waiting.You see the issue?
Naturally, I figured that they were just super busy, so I didn’t want to be the person to finally send someone over the edge.
Ughhhhhhhh yes.Sorry, but I reeeally don’t want to yell out my order, even when it’s simple and innocuous. I eat pretty healthily these days, but can’t imagine being someone that orders extra large everything, plus a Diet Coke. I could probably taste the judging stares from the guy in front of me.
Ugh, that’s a nightmare, too. And you’ve confirmed my worst fears about the two order box and merge setups.I’ve seen first-hand someone sitting at that second box that was maybe three or four cars ahead of me (I made sure I stayed in the lane closest to the building, which is usually the safest for avoiding scenarios like this). My view was mostly obscured, so I was never able to tell if they were just taking a long time to order, or that they were forgotten and left to die (or the box didn’t work). I recall it being an SUV, so maybe they were ordering for a bunch of indecisive kids...I guess I’ll never know.

Oh hey, a fun new space survival gameQuoteThis is very much "Subnautica in Space" experience with a lot (dark) humor.15 posts later and it's cancelledQuoteLooks like the devs (or at least some of them) are bigoted trash. Well, it's a russian company after all.Not just cancelled, but cancelled with a big fuckin OOF, which is the biggest cancel there is(Image removed from quote.)https://www.resetera.com/threads/breathedge-subnautica-in-space-out-now-release-trailer-inside.385460/
This is very much "Subnautica in Space" experience with a lot (dark) humor.
Looks like the devs (or at least some of them) are bigoted trash. Well, it's a russian company after all.
The game is filled with alt-right references
Why would someone make such an awesome, well-developed looking game and then poison it with alt-right bullshit?
Was interested, now spoiled by alt-right shit.
QuoteI'm not enjoying this as much as Subnautica, although that may be more to do with the setting.Sure its not the alt right shit?
I'm not enjoying this as much as Subnautica, although that may be more to do with the setting.
Because the developers are alt-righters and don't think this stuff is wrong.That's usually the case for any game that starts including this sort of content.
I feel similar about Netflix and virtually all TV shows. Twitch is more fun to me and I'll never watch a show when I could use that same time watching a stream.

Wasn't this declared dead early on? It's found its legs for sure.
Don't know what it is in english in the game, but roughly translated from russian it reads like this:«Mr (kinda) TolerastRace-neutral | Gender-uncertain | Half-dressed»("tolerast" is a common derogatory term in Russia that's used by idiots to describe liberals or left-leaning people, kinda like "college intellectual" I'd say, but a word derived from "tolerance" and "pederasty", because big scary european gay come for russian children, you know /s)And the comment is:«A poster with a famous superhero, Tolerast. Anti-sexism, anti-racism and other -ism propaganda in all of its glory. I don't even know what to say, they didn't show things like this on TV when I was a kid».That's a big fucking OOF if you ask me. "A lot of dark humor", huh?
Yeah, just came across the poster:
Fuck this game.
For example, for my husband and myself, retiring at 65 and dying at 85, I'm thinking:$15,000/year for housing (property taxes, maintenance, potential HOA fees, repairs, gardener, etc.)$50,000/year for medical costs, including premiums, medication, doctor visits, and some paid help occasionally (like a nurse or whatever)$15,000/year for food$50,000/year for discretionary income, be it hobbies, grandkids, etc= total of $130,000/yearIf we live 20 years, we'll need ~2,600,000 million.

This doesn't directly relate to what I was talking about in the OP, but she tweeted that "raising minimum wage is such a stupid fucking idea, all that's gonna happen is that the value of a dollar is gonna go way down " and I debunked that idea in the replies. After that, she said that there wasn't an incentive to go to college and "you're acting braindead dude", which is just a ridiculous statement. No, you shouldn't have to go to college to get a survivable wage. I took it to DMs and she said "no thank you I don't feel like I'm informed enough for a proper debate but the arguments from the other side makes more sense to me". Then I asked what arguments, but she wouldn't say. I told her that it was ridiculous that you make that point without any argument to back it up and said her point was outdated. Right after, she just said "please fucking stop".So yeah, it's going well. She doesn't want to listen to my arguments at all and she just told me to fucking stop. I didn't bring up the other things from this thread, but clearly she doesn't have an open mind...

According to the most recent estimates I could find, total world income is about $70 trillion. Divide that by 7.5 billion and each person would receive about $9,330. Of course, this includes babies as well as the retired, so if you figure in only the 4.9 billion people ages 15-64, the figure goes up to $14,285. That might look fantastic to someone in the poorest parts of Africa but it’s just above the $12,060 poverty line in the United States.

For all the weirdo libertarians in the computer science industry you'd think the alt right could throw together one app that wasn't held together with duct tape and fake locks.
Why are you calling Libertarians Alt-Right?-The only Libertarian Congressmen was a Palestine-American who voted to impeach Trump, introduced a bill toEnd Qualified Immunity and voted against republicans on every major trans right bill-Last election: Female President, Jewish Vice-president Candidate-First political party to have openly transgender person be elected at executive level

If, for the sake of argument, the global wealth was redistributed equally between everyone on Earth, you'd get about 14k$ per year, right?
So much for TI in Antman 3.

So many people in my life are stubborn. I've worn some of them down by reminding them ( mostly gently but not always) when and how they were wrong. My mother and wife are two of them.Some people I just had to cut off.
