no one QA’d this AAA game

Actually, that game breaking bug was caught weeks ago by QA. Unmoving deadlines set by upper management meant that a fix couldn’t be made in time for the content schedule.

Just a tip, in political circles acceleration is generally a term to avoid. It’s a loosely defined, dogshit ideology. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerationism

Dibs on the Bezos bbq ribs

I don’t know what you want me to explain. There are only a handful of countries on the Indian subcontinent that could, in any sense, be called India’s “historical borders”. It’s literally the same as any other fascist colonizer belief.

That’s a fair assessment. Some of her books are pretty difficult. I started Who’s Afraid of Gender and didn’t think it was more difficult than Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent, but I suppose it’s all about where folks are at

I didn’t know the community dropped that term, my bad. Agreed, GLAAD is a great source. I recommended Butler because generally I think people want to know “why do people” when they want to understand

Ask them for their preferred pronouns, ask if they have a preferred chosen name, and ask for time to make those things natural to you. Then ask if they would like to go to gender therapy, take puberty blockers, or other age appropriate trans healthcare.

As for educating yourself, Judith Butler is a great starting point

About as complicated as the CIA funding the Taliban, sure.

2 men stand on opposite sides of a valley. “Meet me in the middle”, said the man on the right. The man on the left takes a step forward. The man on the right takes a step back. “Meet me in the middle”, the man on the right says again.

Looks like this jackass of a CEO kept trying to meet in the middle.

I’m not familiar with the politics of Modi’s party, but if I had to guess based on “historic borders”, that would probably be Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal.

It’s well documented that Netanyahu propped up and funded Hamas for years.

A long standing NLRB rule is that scabs can only be hired if workers go on a strike for economic reasons (wages, benefits, etc). If workers go on strike because the employer violated labor law, then the employer is barred by labor law from breaking the strike with scabs. Imo it’s one of the best rules to ever come from the NLRB

“scab” is a very common term in labor politics, meaning someone that is hired to replace striking workers (they stop the bleeding of cash flow). Being a scab is probably one of the worst things you can be in labor circles, because unions and striking workers are why we aren’t working 100 hour weeks for $1/hr.

God I love the wacky shit this particular state fair comes up with every year

Oh shit, this is big. A ULP strike means that Disney wouldn’t be allowed to hire scabs

Millville is an Aldi store brand. The origins of Aldi store brands are kept secret, but there’s a decent chance that it’s made by Pearl Milling

Alternatively, the coldest year for the rest of your life

So they reinvented terminals, but worse

Unlike with gasoline, the ember of a cigarette is hot enough to ignite propane. However it’s denser than air and would need to have a pressure valve actively leaking to create enough concentration to be dangerous

Og Takis. I miss the recipe before white people “discovered” them
