Must have gotten into one of those cocaine stashes that keep mysteriously making their way into the white house.
Hmmm...that gives me an idea for a movie!

I have to ask - would you feel the same if it was your wife or child who was raped? It doesn't ruin their life according to you, so they should be able to just get over it right?
There have been numerous studies on the long term psychological effects of rape, showing that it can lead to PTSD, depression, substance abuse and even suicide in the worst cases.
If you had argued that people who falsely accuse of rape should have the same penalties as those convicted, because both have the potential to destroy lives, I'd agree.
But your take here seems to be so lacking in empathy as to be borderline sociopathic...
If you haven't seen it, check out Layer Cake - probably my favourite Gambon film.
Hahaha they got absolutely fucking dragged in the comments, to the point where they had to turn the comments off.
Hoes mad.
It's a shitty headline from a clickbait tabloid rag that has a long history of shit like this.
I just love how the implication is that all men are monsters by default, and that some kind of intervention is needed with boys to stop it happening.
What they won't tell you, and what makes the image used even more bullshit, is that most of the domestic violence happens in aboriginal communities - aboriginal women are 13 times more likely to be the victims of domestic violence than the national average.
But nah, fuck that - lets attack white males instead.
What a bunch of cunts.
They are using Lindsey Zurbrugg as their mascot - AFAIK she's an actual woman.
Absolute fucking cringe campaign though - will probably have a negative impact on their sales.
The racialization and politicization of our criminal justice system, which has infected lawyers, juries, judges and beyond, is also struggling to punish non-white people accused of killing whites, regardless of the evidence and circumstances.
While no data currently exists on this topic, the anecdotes are piling up.

- We support a two percent ceiling on Jewish employment in vital institutions so that they better represent the ethnic and regional population balance of the country.
- We will declare Israel a rogue state and exporter of terrorism. The national rights of the Palestinian people must be respected.
LOL OK, so actual neo-Nazis.
Someone followed up with this video:

Perfect.
I'm reminded of the fable of the scorpion and the frog for some reason...
"Nobody should care how many miles are on a used car!"
Same reality-defying logic.
Bethesda is a Microsoft company, so you know this game is going to be littered with woke shit (and we've already seen some examples posted).
Although I agree with the message, Az's rant does come across as a bit unhinged, so won't exactly be winning any normies over with this.
Then again, being ranty is part of Az's schtick, so was this more of a performance? I dunno...
Why buy it? It's going to be on Game Pass anyway
Whatever you say Jussie...
Yep - as soon as you see something like that, you immediately know what the intent is, and what it implies for the content of the game.
Hard pass.
Being from Aus, I don't have a horse in this race (I happen to like both Trump and DeSantis for different reasons).
But the title of this post is pure bullshit and the OP is being a disingenuous cunt.
There is nothing "breaking" about this - the laws came into effect back in May.
Nothing was walked back. This was in the original bill signed into law.
It already allowed people from the affected countries (not just China btw) to buy a single residential property if they have a VISA permitting them to work or study in the US, as long as it wasn't within 5 miles of a military base.
The laws still prohibit the sale of property located within 10 miles of military bases and other critical infrastructure – seaports, airports, power plants and water treatment facilities – to anyone with interests tied to the Chinese government or other foreign countries of concern.
Here's an article from back in May covering this: https://www.fox13news.com/news/gov-ron-desantis-signs-legislation-banning-chinese-citizens-from-buying-land-in-state
We need some kind of community notes for shit like this.
I think the difference here is when you're posting on behalf of a company, it becomes a different beast entirely.
Anything public facing usually needs to go through multiple levels of reviews / approvals, which can mean many rounds of changes and resubmission as they try to craft the perfect statement or message.
This also makes anything with video production typically work intensive (even for TikTok). You can potentially spend hours going through b-roll footage to distill something down to a 30 sec clip. And again, because it's the public face of a company, it will likely go through multiple reviews and changes before you actually get to the point of posting it.
And good luck trying to coordinate availability of people for new footage, especially if the staff are very overworked as the current controversy seems to indicate.
I've had to work with marketing teams for certain companies in the IT industry and have seen this first hand,
However, having said that, it seems pretty clear that a lot of the issues this girl was having were of her own doing...
If you're called into a meeting for drama after being in the role for 1 month, chances are that you're the issue.
If you're successfully pissing off everyone around you, it's probably you. To quote a line from the show 'Justified' - "If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."
And then there's this gem: "I purposefully cut my leg open so badly I would have to go to the ER to get it stapled back together." This isn't even close to a sane response to workload pressures - she probably had mental health issues coming into the role IMO.
The part I thought was most ridiculous that I came across in Cyberpunk was a debate between the two mayoral candidates who you later work for in the game. One of them is going on and on about how 'the corporations only pay 0.7%!' and the other guy goes 'Well what about your Cayman Islands accounts!' leaving the first guy stammering and looking like a fool.
In reality, neither candidate would be saying a fucking word about either of those, because both would be paid off by corporations and both would be hiding money in the Caymans, because that's what they do RIGHT NOW.
Been a while since I played, but I remember it a bit differently from this. Peralez is a true believer and is presented as being an idealist, if somewhat naïve. He was the only council member to vote against a change in the law giving the large corps in night city a big tax loophole. Its implied that the money in the Caymans is either a false flag or is being misrepresented for political points. Holt (his opponent) on the other hand is definitely corrupt - you witness him getting into bed with Arasaka during the initial heist mission, and you find out later in the game that he covered up the death of the previous mayor. The twist is that Peralez is the victim of some Manchurian Candidate style psyop, but you never find out who is behind it (it's implied it might be an AI), or if he was always the idealist he is now, or if it's something he's been manipulated into thinking.
This was one of the most interesting missions in the game in my opinion, even if it was left somewhat open ended.
The movie opens in Australia on Thursday, August 24th.
My wife and I will be seeing it that weekend. :)
The McKinsey Management Accelerator program focuses on professional career development by customizing its curriculum and discussions to the unique situations, experiences and opportunities of BIPOC professionals. The program is set up in a mini-MBA-style that covers topics like strategy development, critical thinking, networking and problem solving. “The McKinsey Accelerator Program has been a great challenge for my leadership skillset,” said Joslyn Knight, Best Buy Distribution Operations Support Senior Analyst in Ontario, California. “Having other people of color in the program took away the façade I’ve always had to bear as a minority and allowed me to participate as a true student without having to worry about how I appear as a person of color in a space.”

This is still their best clip:

7 years old and could have been released today, still being on point.
Was going to say exactly this. It's funny - whenever I see women's sport on TV, they always have a majority of tight shots on the play because as soon as they pan out the truth about its popularity is revealed. The stadiums are fucking empty.
The irony of an NPC saying "we all think alike"
It's not the only claim in the video that's bogus:
