Everyone ready for March 8th? I predict I'll be adding a lot more companies to my boycott list, the only acceptable amount of feminism to see from a company I give money to is zero.
I'm planning a post going over a year of their bullshit and suggesting how to move forward, but real life commitments might make it come late. (Yes, I do have a job, I'm not paid to shill an anti-woman narrative like some have accused. No, I don't work for Epic.)
Edit :
Rocket League is now no longer installed on my console. Shame. I was enjoying it.
Worst day of the year for me. I take the day off work and avoid everything in the hope of getting away from their narrative at it's strongest. Usually spend it checking over my boycott lists and updating them, just to make sure I'm ready for the next year of Nazis pretending they aren't Nazis. I take the whole "don't fund your enemy" thing to an extreme.
I don't know why I have to say this, but you probably need to find an actual hobby or something. I literally never notice when "National Woman's Day" is. You're hyper-focusing on it.
As much as I think TheImpossible1 beats the drum too damn hard, I have to be entirely fair. I only know it's coming because my current employer IS making a deal out of it. Some staff have posters up (I have to cut the data retention policy because we have no budget to increase capacity despite a half-dozen new VMs coming online but someone's paying to get commemorative posters graphic-designed and printed). I can't quite give details without doxxing myself, but they just announced they'll be having a seminar next week which includes an "empowering women climate action" box. No details on what's in the box other than a t-shirt for the woman in charge and "activities" for 5-10 girls.
I would probably consider getting a job with a different company before your destroys itself (which it's on the way to doing making fiscal decisions like that).
You don't notice the massive uptick in their genocidal bullshit?
Jokes aside, I do have some hobbies left that they haven't ruined yet. But I just never feel like doing much when I see everyone celebrating the literal worst of humanity. It's like having International Hitler Day.
Why are you like this?
I think you forgot this, but what broke him was when that Gillette ad came out, there was a poll that said that 52% of women agreed with it, but considering these are the same people that gave Hillary a 98% chance of winning, I don’t know why he has Gell-Mann Amnesia about polls. Probably because his bias already was clouding him and he went with it.
I was "broken" before that. That just kind of reinforced what I already felt. I've never fully said what actually makes me feel the way I do about them.
It's motivated reasoning, unfortunately. It's stunning to watch him argue with the ethno nats ranting about the jews. Neither of them seem to really grasp that they are doing the exact same thing to two different groups.
