I cannot confirm your theory of what is going on within game companies. You would likely need an insider or a leak for that.

However, I can confirm that business are run (almost into the ground) in a way similar to what you describe. In my specific scenario, the unscrupulous person in charge sought out ways to "cut costs" in order to increase his personal bonus as it was based on budget savings with minimal customer complaints/contract extensions. This included, but was not limited to: not hiring replacements when workers quit, not advertising open positions, asking short staffed departments to cover/do the work of other short staffed departments in addition to their own work instead of hiring more staff, taking on additional projects without hiring additional staff, not buying new equipment even when it was planned in the budget, not approving raises, pressuring supervisors to give middling evaluations regardless of how good or bad an employee was so the head office would not offer raises or seek to replace bad workers, restricting bathroom breaks when understaffed because it could cause lapses in coverage leading to customer complaints, pressuring staff to take lunch at their desks so they can "eat and work", putting off building maintenance unless it was a critcal issue that would lead to customer complaints... you get the idea.

TLDR: You might be right. I have seen it for myself.

The point of therapy is to achieve results where the patient no longer needs a therapist. It should be professional guidance with measured advice towards that goal, but it seems that therapy is now an end not a means, a badge of victimhood with affirmations and headpats from your paid friend.

I understand that the process can take a long time, but the modern therapist seems more than wiiling to be a mercenary shoulder to cry on rather than fulfilling their actual purpose.

So yes, I agree that therapy has shamefully become part of the woke religion.

Sounds like a blaxploitation funk band. Negrolator and the Octaroons

More to your point, when will that outcome change?

I browsed a few articles and read that she continued touring under her birth name, so that muddles the water a bit. Still, very strange that such an "outspoken, powerful woman who was no stranger to controversy" is called what she was instead of what she changed herself to be.

They should rebrand to the Toronto Rainbow Jays at this point and ban all classic merch as "bigoted and hateful", forcing the true fans to rebuy everything if they want to watch in person.

We do live in a very strange timeline. I could see secret backyard "protein conversion operations" becoming a thing if there is no "legal" choice but bugs.

The song did not exist 3 years ago, and it captures the current feeling of discontent felt by many towards certain types of Americans. If the Arbery case were tried again today, would it have the same outcome?

Instead of pushing the bugs on me, would they be willing to feed the bugs to something I would eat instead? Chickens are a good contender, and I doubt pigs would care much either.

No? This is a humiliation ritual designed to keep you in steaks and filets while I get cricket flour and grub paste? Sorry, I will have to pass.

Send us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free... so we can bribe someone else to take them because we do not want them either.

It was pretty small of him to pull up the step ladder after he achieved success.

She has extra padding, so it might not be very fair.

They can be both! Dumb, evil people enabled by lax standards and a permissive society to be both dumb and evil.

I was under the impression that legacy admissions also have certain "generous financial obligations" that are "strongly encouraged" to help support the college in question. If tossing money at Harvard no longer guarantees this, how long before big donors move towards an institution that does allow this exchange?

That sounds like an honest question, citizen. You got a license for that?

Camwhore? She already has the ruthless attention seeking and lack of moral compass.

Not that I would wish divorce upon anyone, I just want to say that there is a better life after if you do not wallow in what was lost and are willing to work for it. His faith could even be the basis for the revival.

How inclusive of them to swap a woman born woman for a trans one! I am sure Troonya will be a huge hit.

Heh. It sounds like the company was beta testing in production environment with a captive audience.

A better strategy would have been to offer an incentive to use the app, but allow other forms of payment, so when the app goes tits up, the entire event does not grind to a halt which screws not only attendees, but the businesses there as well.

Oh no! How dare they censor my views and oppress me using the methods I utilized and the systems I created!

The artist should do a black couple in the same vein. I cannot wait for the result.
