Monster Hunter Wilds fans are discovering what FFXIV fans have known for a while. No Lifers will blow through the content after 100 hrs in a single week, and then claim there's nothing to do.

*shrug*

also? If a game kept you entertained for 100hrs? It's done it's job. You just ate too fast.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out.

Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal.

Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home.

That.

Do that.

Hegsethโ€™s rough start: Pentagon chief faces protest at U.S. base abroad The question isnโ€™t why the defense secretary faced pushback at U.S. European Command headquarters; the question is whether heโ€™ll see more protests soon.

๐Ÿ“ŒI was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base.

๐Ÿ“ŒThis is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?

DON'T DO IT.

If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.

Document, document, document.

Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

Do not comply in advance. 

Do not comply swiftly, do not comply easily. 

Do not comply without delay, without mistakes, without unfortunate errors. 

Do not comply because you have to speak to your boss. Your manager. Another team. The legal department. Do not comply because you need to consult documentation and obtain authorization from additional parties.

Itโ€™s not your fault if you cannot comply. There are cross-dependencies. Unforeseen complications. Expired credentials. Youโ€™re doing your best to comply, really, but thereโ€™s a software issue and itโ€™s going to take an additional 48 hours (again and again).

Un-comply. What do you mean, the prior version is back? It must have been a scripting error, a problem at the data center, a version control conflict. Itโ€™ll get done properly this time. (It wonโ€™t.)

You see incompetence and points of failure every day, from airlines and health insurance and labyrinthine phone trees. Weaponize itโ€”softly, apologetically, innocently. 

Armor yourself in procedure and regulations. Defend your coworkers. Itโ€™s not their fault that error happened, itโ€™s because there was insufficient training. A broken plug-in. A risk of a data leak.

Fighting back doesnโ€™t have to look like a fight. Comply if you must, but do so poorly. This is resistance. This matters.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Proud Boys Lose Control of Their Name to a Black Church They Vandalized (Gift Article) A judge awarded the trademarked name and symbols to a Washington church to help satisfy a $2.8 million judgment against the far-right group.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark โ€œProud Boys.โ€ The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:
