you can say "that any pro Russia sentiment exists at all is alarming" but you can find tankies on the left too who hate Zelenskyy because he's a horrible right winger who supports Israel and wants Ukraine to not be liberal or European

Disappointed this isn't a link to the ResetERA.com thread where this happened.

They forced Cammy to wear pants.

I’m a fan of cammy showing me full double cheeks, but the Fortnite versions with pants are a great look

https://www.resetera.com/threads/blanka-and-sakura-from-street-fighter-are-joining-fortnite.577066/page-3#post-85722922

I love Cammy's default outfit as much as the next girl (probably more actually) But her pants look is great.

I don’t know how you can look at conservatives prior to trump and now and say that republicans haven’t changed.

your timelines wrong;

A bunch of Republicans became genuinely fucking unhinged when Obama got elected, (another bunch when he got a second term)
A bunch of Democrats became genuinely fucking unhinged when Trump won / Hillary lost

As Uncle has posted about the actual demographics of Twitter, and to what extent it makes up the opinions of the average joe, current twitter is basically just these fucking unhinged neo-nazis and neo-stalinist cunts left screaming at each other, and roaming in packs for new targets, because all the normies were already dogpiled and shouted down into just not saying anything.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I appreciate the people saying voting always matters are trying to be positive... But be careful in what contexts you're doing it, especially when it involves us since we're 1% of the population.

What sounds great when we win close votes sounds a lot like blaming a very small group of people when we lose.

they aren't "allowed" to, it's just that the criminal offense is such a minor slap on the wrist that no one has incentive to report it to the police, and the police have no incentive to pursue the matter, and even if the stars aligned and they caught someone they'd be back on the street doing it again in 10 minutes

[PogiJones]

Honestly, I don't think the relative positions of the right and left have changed all that much relative to each other. Like, some positions have swapped (e.g., free speech), but the distance between platform positions is still roughly the same as it's always been.

What has changed is the degree to which each side views the other as evil. The distance between the positions hasn't changed much, but now each side is viewing the other through a wide-angle lens, making them look much further away (and thus more "evil") than they really are. That's why people on the right think the left has moved further left, and people on the left think the right has moved further right. It's all about perception. And that perception has caused a steep decline in compromise, not because the opponent is too far away to shake hands, but because they look too far away.

Speaking generally, ofc.

Important to note that this news is coming nearly 2 full days after people started having issues redeeming codes.

Two full days of people buying PS+ codes because Sony said themselves that if you have concurrent PS NOW and PS+ subscriptions, your account would be converted to PS+ Premium for the longer duration of the two.

A lot of people spent a lot of money buying PS+ codes only to be fucked now because of Sony's failure to communicate.

“The whole thing with Gina: You can’t chime in when the shit’s happening, because then you cause static for other people on the [show],” he adds. “That somebody’s opinion — or their political beliefs — makes people try to destroy their ability to make a living, it’s fucking bizarre to me.”

Burr is ramping up now, doing what audiences around the world pay to see.

“And I love the whole idea that somebody can go back eight years in somebody’s Twitter feed and be like, ‘What about this?'” he continues. “And nobody says, ‘You had to go back eight years to find something?! Sounds like this is a pretty good person if you had to go back eight fucking years!’ Meanwhile, there are people who get paroled from prison every day who have done so much worse and they’re allowed to put their lives back together. You can have 20-year wars, you can create synthetic heroin, you can fucking poison the food supply. You can do all of that shit and it’s barely going to read. They did a study the other day that 85 percent of people have plastic in their body – horrifying. Who’s going to be held accountable for that? Nobody.

User Banned (1 Week): Dismissive Commentary Around Abusive Workplace Practices; Trolling over a Series of Posts

Many, like Ms. Gifford, realized they felt like they'd spent their careers in spaces built for somebody else. Take something as simple as temperature. Most building thermostats follow a model developed in the 1960s that takes into account, among other factors, the resting metabolic rate of a 40-year-old man weighing 154 pounds, according to a study published in Nature Climate Change. That left women to spend their prepandemic years filling cubicles with shawls, space heaters and blankets they could burrow into "like a burrito."

This has been a major issue at my office for the past year, and it's all coming to a head with a few employees (that I would consider cowardly) leaving and citing poor working conditions. While I appreciate how working outside of the office was handled during the pandemic, I believe the office dynamics are just not as strong when employees are left at home to their own devices. I believe in flexible hours though, and it has worked great for my company.

How is your office handling the transition back to working in person?
