Everyone set way too ambitious targets post-covid, they don’t want to admit that because it makes it look like the c-levels are clueless idiots


Jordan Adams is the Development Director at Electronic Arts (EA) working on the Plants vs. Zombies mobile game franchise. According to reports, EA conducted an internal investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against Adams over a 2.5 month period.[1][3][4][5] The investigation found that Adams had video called female co-workers and performed lewd acts on himself, sent them pornographic videos, and made explicit references in EA’s Slack conversations.[1][3][5] Despite the findings, EA reportedly closed the investigation, citing that the events occurred outside of work between consenting adults, and that Adams did not repeat the behavior once the investigation began.[1][3][5] However, the victims still had to work with Adams after the investigation concluded.[1][3][5]

Ubisoft’s bread and butter were never assassin’s creed type hardcore games, but those trashy looking pet sims you could find in the bargain bin. The only reason they’re able to make the hardcore gamerz stuff is because of the financial security the shitty pet games brought in



The other day I saw my grocery store advertising that they were ‘slashing prices on sausages’. You’re telling me that’s not intentional?

Just a coincidence I’m sure 😒



Would you say the same thing to a black person who just opened up about racism they’ve experienced?

You’re attempting to gaslight every circumcised male into believing it’s all in our heads.


There’s constant slurs and jokes being thrown our waynat our expense. It’s a daily aspect of our lives.

“Cut that out”

“are you getting snippy with me?”

“I’m afraid we’ll have to cut our time short”

You probably don’t notice it unless you’ve been circumcised yourself.


I use the JustWatch app on my phone. Has all the info you’re looking for.


I’m playing Coral Island right now and I’m definitely getting the vibes that they wanted it to be a porn game at some point


I think people are going to get very good at identifying fakes. Only is older people will be tricked.




If everyone just surrendered there would be no war!

Information has been evaluated.

This is an article attempting to frame Kurdish settlements in Rojava, whose existence is only possible because US forces in the area stop the Turks and Assad from bombing them, as the US stealing fuel and food. The Kurds are the ones pumping this oil and growing the wheat. The US isn’t robbing Syrians at gunpoint for their wheat. It’s only considered theft because the people eating and using the fuel are ethnically undesirable.


  • Investigations have found that the Assad regime has carried out the majority of the over 336 confirmed chemical weapons attacks in Syria, with 98% of the total attacks attributed to the regime.[1]

  • The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) has documented 222 chemical weapons attacks in Syria as of November 2023, with 217 of these carried out by Syrian regime forces. These attacks have killed 1,514 individuals, including 1,413 civilians.[2]

  • The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has confirmed five separate instances of the Assad regime using chemical weapons, including the April 2018 attack in Douma that killed 43 people.[3]

  • Human Rights Watch has documented the Syrian government’s “widespread and systematic use of chemical weapons” since at least 2013, despite the government’s pledges to cooperate with OPCW and UN inspectors.[4]

  • The 2013 Ghouta chemical attack, which killed hundreds, was the deadliest use of chemical weapons since the Iran-Iraq War.[5]

In summary, the overwhelming evidence from multiple independent investigations and organizations confirms that the Assad regime in Syria has repeatedly and systematically used chemical weapons against civilians during the civil war, in clear violation of international law.

The US encourages international business competition, but not if you do it better than they do.

The biggest threat of World War 3 right now is that climate change will pressure nuclear powers into direct confrontations. India and Pakistan. China and Russia. Those are the ones I’m worried about


Unnecessary, there is nothing Poland can offer that isn’t already guaranteed by an Ohio class submarine



If I go digging, am I going to find out that this is an anti-Kurdish hit piece trying to manufacture consent so Assad can use chemical weapons on Rojava?


Unfathomable how Microsoft and Bethesda could leave so much money on the table not having Fallout 3 remade and ready to launch next to the show


People who don’t stand up for their beliefs are comforted by seeing those that did, punished. It’s best for them personally if they’re quite and obedient, and this is confirmation of that bias.


Okay you’re a nurse. You should get over yourself and just do it the way the other nurse is showing you. Be humble 🫶



Love all the people that see repercussions for protesting and their first thought is ‘boy, those guys sure we’re stupid. Now they’ve lost their jobs’

Maybe the people doing the protests accepted that as a risk they were willing to take? Perhaps even the next steps were mass resignations? Hmmmmmm


I’m sorry I was in the wrong tab, I was looking at an evangelical recruitment site


I only know she’s not my boss and my role is the same as her.

They’ve been in the role longer than you have, that gives them seniority over you.

I don’t understand why you believe you know my role better than me.

You’ve been purposely vague about your role so I am left to make a best guess.

I wouldn’t do this over email. To be effective, the message has to be said next time she feels entitled to ‘correct’ me.

You should do it over email so there is a written record and no miscommunication. You could even CC your supervisor if you wajt to play hardball.

Your currently strategy is to snap at her the next time she annoys you. Not a good look for a new hire.


That one day they will harvest my brain and let it live a vat of dopamine



Is the end result the same? Sometimes the right process gets better end results. Especially if you’re a new hire, it’s worth considering doing it their way just out of humility.

I feel you believe you are my boss. You are not. Stop telling me how to work. It’s tiring. You have your way of doing things, I’ve got mine, both equally good. Should you have a problem with this, contact the charge or manager. I’m gonna go work now.

This is an extremely aggressive way to speak to someone. It’s a little wild that this is what you came up with trying to be neutral and diplomatic. Genuinely makes me question if you’re understanding this person and your role correctly.

If you’re certain that doing it your way is just as good then I recommend the following message:

Hi [person’s name]! I wanted to thank you for your help getting me situated into this new role at [company name]. I really appreciate the difficulties of integrating a new team member, and I want you to know I’m 100% committed to doing good work together.

My personal experience with projects like these involves a work flow that looks more like [x, y, z], and the clients that I’ve worked for using this process were always happy with the results. The process you showed me where it’s [a, b, c] doesn’t make as much sense to me, perhaps we can schedule some time to go over why it’s more effective doing it [a, b, c] rather than [x, y, z]? Otherwise, just for the sake of completing the project ASAP I would prefer using the way I have more experience with.

Happy to discuss this with you further at anytime and excited about the great things we’ll be making together 😁

That’s a bullet proof corporate email any manager would take a look at and know you’re not the problem.



Drugs aren’t illegal because they are addictive. They are illegal because they make humans behave unpredictably and that scares other humans into banning the substances.

The ‘its addictive’ thing is just to frighten people away from trying it.




They only made $1.45 billion last year, just up 56% year-over-year.

They were expecting to make over two billion. Which from the perspective of an American corporation, means they lost half a billion dollars. So the end of year bonuses for the c suites are only half as much as they were anticipating, which from the perspective of American executives is like they lost hundreds of thousands of dollars this year.

So you see, it makes perfect sense why hundreds to thousands of employees must be laid off. The business is in a dire position!


The Shopify president whose worth 3.5 billion is whining like a bitch on twitter about it
