Rockstar should, to begin with, not be in the position to be able to head off unionisation drives by strategically firing a handful of vulnerable people in dribs and drabs, but they are because apparently even getting 10% of their employees to sign on the dotted line is a Herculean task

now I don't know what's chicken and what's egg here but a different but related problem is that it is a tech industry so ~85% of the labor force seems to think they are above organizing

to some extent the gaming industry is such a miserable place to work in because the audience simply does not care about 99.9% of individual developers and is openly contemptuous about 100% of the support staff

wo man auch hinguckt sehen andere den rassisch unterlegenen und seine fünften Kollonnen

Eil: Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen investiert 3 Millionen Euro in neues Becken mit Fünfmeterbrett

im Zweifelsfalle? Lieber München als Bornhagen

Vielleicht sollte Söder jetzt damit anfangen, die Grundlagen für eine bundesweite Ausdehnung der CSU zu legen. Damit´s für die Konservativen Erneuerer™️ noch was diesseits der AfD zu wählen gibt

also how the European far right talks about "fighting age males" from all sorts of nearby conflict sites

everything with tracks is a Tank and everything with jet engines is a Fighter

case in point, Germany has been talking about immigration nonstop for at least 25 years and in those 25 years made the welfare to workfare switch and recently rejected an attempt to backtrack on that even just a little by the last government

If the conspiracies are true, there's nothing left to do but lay down and wait for death.

I demand dictators with better aesthetics.

like my admittedly pretty surface level understanding is that the PSUV has spent the last 20 years integrating every aspect of society right down to like the neighbourhood corner shop into itself so if someone were to destroy it ...

regardless of what exactly they decide to do in Venezuela, it's difficult to imagine an outcome other than "Somalia on the Caribbean"

I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

these risks meanwhile are essentially fake because both of them pivot on the assumption that Trump merely wants to *be President* for a third term instead of *winning a third election* - for these to pan out he'd have to be VP on a Vance-led ticket or not be on the ticket at all

as per the anti-imperialist standard (cf. Bolivia / Morales 2019) it is actually extremely democratic to seek more terms than you are constitutionally entitled to and any efforts to the contrary, American, imaginary or otherwise amount to a coup d'etat

ahem

going by the streamers and content creators *I* know, not a single guideline has ever actually been useful to anybody in trying to make things so you might as well just not provide guidance at all

YouTube Is Changing Its Guidelines For "Graphic Violence" In Gaming Starting in November, YouTube will age-restrict more content showing "graphic violence" in video games.

yeah, like that

I see those gigantic Dutch ballots and I wonder how turnout is above 20% there

I understand the temptation to believe that they could brute force this through sheer size, but surely EA Origin/App, Uplay/Ubisoft Connect and the Epic Games Store should have been very instructive about how impossible it is to replicate and surpass Steam even as a gaming-first company?

+50%

ich wollte uns Fischstäbchen machen

you can put a friendly, leftish spin on this — the Balt lacks essential human qualities, the Irish have unique insight into oppression*, sitting around a wok deep frying things makes the Han uniquely cultured and I envy them for their communal rites — but it does remain the worst kind of pub talk

in some sense regardless of future policy outcome the Right has already won because laudatory or otherwise a lot of people once again speak of things in terms of IQ, physiognomy, unchangeable ethnic characteristics, the ensoulment of cultures or lack thereof and so on

Ich bezweifle, dass das passieren wird? Die Konservativen in Großbritannien haben 2010 damit anfangen, sich und der Gesellschaft ein "Nettozuwanderung"s-Ziel zu geben - 15 Jahre später ist der innerparteiliche Konsens, dass das damals Volksverräter waren und nun Millionen entfernt werden müssen.

but where would the fun in that be

I've excluded people from my life or at least segments of my life on the assumption of a broadly shared epistemological and corresponding moral understanding that I am noticing now never existed and I am a little bit bummed out about it.

can tell you this much - it ain't 0
