It's def Romanian gov that is meddling. The big business in Romania, wants the cheaper labor of the Moldovans. RO has been outsourced a lot of labor from the west (call centers, auto manufacture, remote quality assurance), so salaries have steadily climbed. The same phenom that is happening in parts of India. All of a sudden you have a group with money that disrupts the surrounding local 'poors'
From that entry, Riri was so smart, they took her from her family and put her in foster care. Is that.. Aspirational?
The STEMboon trope plays out hilarious on that show New Amsterdam. The chief of cardiology (a black dude) has a squad of all black lady cardiologists. They are always done up with weave and nails. It looks like a parody, but the show is serious. They follow him around like a squad with the Joey Tribbiani acting method on their faces.
This is why commies/woke/lefties with their fatal moral relativism need to be purged out of every institution. They are unteachable, unhireable, poisonous to a functioning society. They'd have a totalitarian state that forgave everything but observable truth/God.
Yeah. Activists sucked the fun out of everything, across almost all mediums. At least it put the hurt on FOMO and impulse buying. I do miss having games and shows to look forward to. It's very rare these days.
What about natal women that rape? Do they become men?
Scottish law is fucked up.
This is why you can't let this shit get beyond observable facts. Men are men. Women are women. They can play dress up, but can't compel people to play along with them.

Why would anyone believe anything on a porn forum? The entire system is for fantasy and lying.

Is this the 'uniparty' balancing shit out, that's why nobody is really contesting it? A DC agreement to rearrange pieces on the board.
Whistleblower from ABC revealed that ABC wasn't allowed (per their deal with the Harris campaign) to ask Harris about her California record, or her brother-in-law embezzeling millions. Which would be very relevant as supposedly he's being considered for a position in her administration. They also gave Harris the questions early for her campaign's approval. Oh , also agreed not to fact check her live, only Trump.
Most regulations these days are being used by mega corps to squash competition. Coke can pay a 100k a month nuisance fee for using unregulated x y z. Mom & Pop Soda Co. can't even sell their stuff at a farmer's market without the state coming down on them.
It's why you'll see big business doing PR ads, lobbying for things you would think would harm their bottom line, but it keeps out competition. It's corrupt.
Not that I'm a smoker or a vaper, but that is a great example. Big Tobacco demonized the vaping market with 'Think of the children!" nation-wide ads / regulation, until they caught up with their own product.
I'm in favor of minimal regulation. I want the state bureaucracy as small and less intrusive as possible. Make common sense regulations that give judges/juries wider powers. Just basic shit like, don't put poison in products. Don't clear cut without variety replanting. Don't make lake/river/soil/air toxic. Then don't allow the big corps to hire their own 'scientists'. The FDA has this bizarre system where Big Corps (looking at you pharma and aggriculture) get to submit their own research and they just go, 'ok'. When they are funded ridiculous amounts to be able to discover their own facts.
Amy good gorilla. Fire bad.
8 here. The others are heresy.
“Many people were upset that I spoke publicly and also used the terms ‘race’ and ‘disability’. I spoke publicly, because I’d stayed silent all year, and this was the result. Based on that treatment, I had no confidence anything I said internally would make its way to Mr. Adkison. I used the terms not as a threat, but to convey why this is serious and why I want to talk to him personally.”
I'm leaning towards it being so infested with activists, they started upping the shakedown/extortion. When this Emily chick didn't get what she wanted she pulled out the 'GenCon bosses are -ist -phobe" innuendo. Someone in the convention management musta decided to nip that shit in the bud before they got pilloried on social media.
They wont be changing their ways, just hiring a different crop of activists, is my guess.
I think he's trying to kiss ass to the woke mob so his pandering Netflix special gets more than 100 views.
Hmm... It almost seems like Dirty Haley is personally invested in this...
Totally not lawfare!
You get to do the most horrible shit in the world, and have the most oppressive policies as long as you wear the rainbow. These turds cashing in on bribes and depravity while selling out their countrymen.
Here's my fear for Civ 7. From what I can tell they've split the government into 2 types for your nation. The traditional ruler, and some kind of social progress leader.
Why?
Because there weren't enough history gayPOC and chick leaders in history. Now with the social impact leader, they can pump the game full of that woke jizz, and not have to be accountable for historic accuracy.
I've read the first 3. They are decent-good. Grab them all on sale. The pacing gets a little annoying in places, not that things aren't moving along, but there are some misdirections to create anticipation that I didn't like. I wanted the battle to pop off, not necessarily the backstory of an officer right before the broadsides start. Of course, you DO get the battle. Just, impatience :)
The writers can't fucking help themselves. Holy fuck.
There's no fucking gray area or relativism in Tolkien! It's good versus evil. Post modernist shitlibs can't fucking grasp that. If the protagonists are against something, that something of course must be marginalized and a poor oppressed angel.
The goblins outnumber men! They would wipe every village and town off the face of Middle Earth. There is no 'nuance' here. They don't make treaties. They can't write. They only stop plundering and eating you if you kill enough of them. Hollywood, STOP.
Wind Waker is superior in my opinion. EVEN though I have much more nostalgia for OoT, simply because of the 2D > 3D leap blowing my kid mind. But, in hindsite, now I go back to Wind Waker every time. The cel shading also helps it hold up visually.
I'm assuming we're talking big corporate gaming.
Games are becoming more story heavy, because they are hiring (heavy hehe) non gamers to create games. At bare minimum you're getting devs and team members who are just normies. Most often you're getting communications and business degree grads, of whom most are indoctrinated.
Gone are those gamers who wanted to make games for other gamers. They don't get hired. It used to be a requirement that you were passionate about games, that you could impress that in your interview. Now that's a detriment. Like how they don't hire cops or FBI bros with high IQ. They want compliant drones who can pad their demographics numbers.
Who IS designing the games? The suits and product managers. Are they creative? No. They just copy popular and effective trends. They hire female writers for the most part, because that's another easy in to pad demographics. The code devs are a few white dudes, and 85% H-1B Asians. Sometimes a couple Canadians.
So, we're getting story heavy games. With a feature focus on pain points that can be alleviated by MTX. Game mechanics are difficult to fake and require more QA, so they reuse, copy, and stretch engines past their shelf life.
The smart talent is gone, because they realized that AAA gaming companies would all be making mobile gachas or sports betting if they could, but the C-suite paid big money for these IP's that need milking.
It's probably a sterilization shot. Too many eyes on the 'remodeling' of Gaza. So, they'll put a cork in all of those little baby farmers to complete the genocide later.
I used to think it just had anti-war message. I've seen some episodes lately, that show must have been the pinnacle of 70's-80's woke back then. Despite the onerous progressive causes in it, at least it is based for pointing out the opportunism of trannyhood, and it's anti-government for the most part. That's the part the modern left has shed. They are now very pro state in the US.
RFK Jr. should have just been the kind of dealer the media approves of, like Hunter Biden.
"Those dirty, impure customers. I didn't want them buying my game anyhow."
Stop hiring these people.
Better yet, just go out of business. Games will be fine.
Maybe. I wasn't going in that smart/dumb direction. I was just thinking that introverts would be more likely to have that internal soundboard. Even if the endless rumination was attached more often than not.
They gotta at all costs, make the race look close, so when the [Fortify] slams down, there can be some plausibility to the moderates.
