If only she were the current sitting vice president of the United states of America, I.e. was in a position of power where she and the other members of the executive branch could take action as well as “striking a tough tone”.

Actions, as always, speak louder than words.

She did the request for her own info because she suspected staff were dragging their heels with her other requests, and the request for her own info proved her suspicions were well-founded.

Asking for information on how a section of government operates should be commended, not discouraged. The government works for the people and their operations should be transparent. Doubly so when they act like they have something to hide.

But, Ive been a staff member who had a bad day and found a customer’s legitimate request frustrating - “this is the last thing I needed” - so I have some level of sympathy for the staffers too.

I was such a fan of the original RTW. It was such a shame how bad the launch of II was, and to this day I’ve never played it. By the time it was fixed, there were other games out that were never broken to begin with.

Wangs of Witchers. Gotta keep the alliteration.

He says “action nirvana” but I think he means “pay to win, $ucker”

So, a corporation fucked a guy over, and when he retaliated using the same method they fucked him over with, he gets punished by the law while nothing happens to them?

Not saying he was right to do what he did but I understand why he’d feel aggrieved by them. And fuck the “rule of law” that so blatantly supports corporations over people.

If one owned a real switch would that alter any of the steps? Like, I imagine whatever keys you need would be on it?

For the record I know nothing and am just guesstimating based on 90’s PS1 emulation.

Only tangentially related, but I just realised that now when I read “X got death threats”, the assumption I jump to is that X is a terrible person/company trying to deflect from their terrible decisions/actions.

Not seemingly the case here, but Im left pondering how often this claim has been misused as an easy cop-out. WoTC, <insert politician here>, etc.

These recalls are sure to get less severe and happen less often if ford goes ahead with firing 10,000 senior experienced union members like they’re threatening to. /s

Bruh idk why the difference… Educate me?

Thanks!

For those of us that dont like having to click thru to eX-twitter to give musk traffic, any chance that we could get the game name in the title? 😁

Jesus. What a lucky escape!

As a casual off-and-on player of this game for at least 19 years, I’m not opposed to this battle pass. It replaces the “must play 7-days-a-week to get max rewards” task system with one that gives you freedom to play when and how you want.

Too early for me to give an informed opinion on whether the rewards of the pass are worthwhile, but I’m a fan of the intent behind it at least!

Holy shit I just read it and… Wow. I am never, ever, ever in my life buying a game that Peter Molyneux has involved in.

Having not yet read the article, if the species in question aren’t Bezos, Musk, Gates et al, then the report writers have missed the mark.

Exactly! If it’s not already, breaking the law should be an examption to the whole concept of a limited-liability company - so you can’t just shut down the company and move on to another.

Wouldn’t it be nice if fines were based on the past/present/potential revenue (not profit) from the location where the offending took place?

Dig a trench on an archaeological site without permissin? Pay the full amount your business case said you might ever receive from the work you were making the trench for.

Drink drive? Instantly lose the vehicle you were driving.

Knowingly breaking the law should have extra penalties, I.e. corporate death penalties should be commonplace for those who knowingly break the law.

I mean, cuntdown still found the money for a $400,000,000 rebranding… Were their profits down by $400,000,000 or are they spending hundreds of millions on a vanity exercise with a side benefit of good PR?

Also, reminder that they all made record profits over the pandemic and “slightly less than the most ever but still well above traditional levels” isn’t a fair amount of profit for them to make.

As always, the fine for breaking the law was less than the profit earned.

Since lawmakers aren’t and won’t do anything, we need to find other ways to respond. All I’m saying is, it’ll only take a single Fortune 100 CEO being roasted on a BBQ for them all to learn a lesson…
