On the face of it appears it's about Nintendo's boycott of Kotaku

'It;s just lefty subjective nonsense. Excerpt : Data users should not rank locales because there are many factors that cause the nature and type of crime to vary from place to place. UCR statistics include only jurisdictional population figures along with reported crime, clearance, or arrest data. Rankings ignore the uniqueness of each locale. Some factors that are known to affect the volume and type of crime occurring from place to place are: • Population density and degree of urbanization. • Variations in composition of the population, particularly youth concentration. • Stability of the population with respect to residents; mobility, commuting patterns, and transient factors. • Economic conditions, including median income, poverty level, and job availability. • Modes of transportation and highway systems. • Cultural factors and educational, recreational, and religious characteristics. • Family conditions with respect to divorce and family cohesiveness. • Climate. • Effective strength of law enforcement agencies. • Administrative and investigative emphases on law enforcement. • Policies of other components of the criminal justice system (i.e., prosecutorial, judicial, correctional, and probational). • Citizens’ attitudes toward crime. • Crime reporting practices of the citizenry. Ranking agencies based solely on UCR data has serious implications. For example, if a user wants to measure the effectiveness of a law enforcement agency, these measurements are not available. As a substitute, a user might list UCR clearance rates, rank them by agency, and attempt to infer the effectiveness of individual law enforcement agencies. This inference is flawed because all the other measures of police effectiveness were ignored. The nature of the offenses that were cleared must be considered as those cleared may not have been the most serious, like murder or rape. The agency’s clearances may or may not result in conviction, the ultimate goal. The agency may make many arrests for Part II offenses, like drug abuse violations, which demonstrate police activity but are not considered in the clearance rate. The agency’s available resources are also critical to successful operation, so its rate of officers to population and budget should be considered. The UCR clearance rate was simply not designed to provide a complete assessment of law enforcement effectiveness. In order to obtain a valid picture of an agency’s effectiveness, data users must consider an agency’s emphases and resources; and its crime, clearance, and arrest rates; along with other appropriate factors. Because of concern regarding the proper use of UCR data, the FBI has the following policies: • The FBI does not analyze, interpret, or publish crime statistics based solely on a singledimension interagency ranking. • The FBI does not provide agency-based crime statistics to data users in a ranked format. • When providing/using agency-oriented statistics, the FBI cautions and, in fact, strongly discourages, data users against using rankings to evaluate locales or the effectiveness of their law enforcement agencies"

Read this document about how the FBI sees the correct usage of crime stats. Biggest load of bullshit I've ever read and I've read a fucking lot of bullshit in my life... https://ucr.fbi.gov/ucr-statistics-their-proper-use

I was only considering the game not the creators. The game itself can be as anti-woke as your answers

But if you're looking for something in the Games Shop now , I own the following and can verify they are not woke: Railway Empire Ticket to Ride Viticulture World of Warcraft Boardgame Carcassone Catan Poleconomy Cards against Humanity Werewolf Taskmaster Cosmic Encounters Risk Imhotep (that's all I could remember from top of head)

When I did my ATC training there was 1 single female in the training group of 20 and she failed the mid-term examination. Out of the 20 of us only 5 of us actually passed the course. That was when they took Air Safety seriously

Air Traffic Control in Australia still does but from what I hear that's not the case for ATC in America. I wouldn't fly in America knowing what I know

I find myself directly imploring God to strike down people every day now. All these cops need to be removed from the face of the planet. The time is coming for us all to stand up together at once.

I'm actually writing one now - It will be as anti-woke as possible. Will obviously have to self publish because of that

I enjoyed it way more back in the early 90's when you could barely even get anything (at least in Australia) and everytime you managed to unearth a gem you really felt satisfaction. The worst thing the popularity has down IMHO has been the proliferation of average shows and films. There's still lots of great stuff but yo have to wade through so much more to find it. But at least I don't have to pay $160 like I did when I imported the Akira laserdisc.
