I have only noticed the UK getting colder and wetter… however i hear ice caps are melting rapidly (i haven’t seen it myself though) i hear there’s only around 350 Orangutangs left in the world too how true this is idk. Lets talk about Orangutangs next please.
Since i can’t even afford a car i can’t really help as much as i would love to. There i started the next topic.
Hate to say it, homie, but you played a part in kick off the thread’s tangential whataboutism.
Which I certainly wasn’t going to let slide with the broad fallacies attributed therin, but call me baited, I suppose.
UK, and Scandinavia are some of the places potentially getting colder due to climate change. Due to the gulf stream potentially weakening, or even disappearing.
Now, in the short timeframe and effect we are looking here (without knowing your age :P) it seems unlikely that we should be able to notice a large trend in that regard. More of a decades long effect.
But other than the gulf stream effect, higher temperature automatically also means more rain, in average. Since the atmosphere can hold more water at higher temperatures.
Seems hard to notice a meaningful change in UK rainfall over the last decades

As with the temperatures, the effects are probably more likely to be bigger tops (and even bottoms), while the averages only move slowly.
Only economic factor I see here is the inequal pay, people getting paid poorly and allowing this drama to happen at the first place by not getting rid of problematic figures. I fail to imagine how State of California’s views, climactic changes or global warming related to Blizzard Entertainment’s workplace ethics.
Either people spent on their words and pulling this to politics, or they enjoy this ride where they can show a piece of melting ice to fascinate us.
I think it’s time for me to start the season already.
I assume that this has been discussed. If the Red Hat Security conference story in 2015 is true, then…
The people that a company chooses to represent them at job booths tend to be HR or at least HR-savvy. If the allegations prove true which appears to be the case since similar events occurred at that booth for multiple women, then this is discriminatory in equal opportunity in hiring practices, is blatant sexual harassment, and demonstrates a lack of a moral compass in a personal responsibility sense for those employees.
Saying things happened and proof of things happening are different. Either way it’s none of our business.
That story is disgusting.
And it sounds like they have evidence that it isnt something they have made up for the current occasion, which strengthens their story a lot. Probably hard to prove the original incident happened. But it is very easy to believe that it did, sadly.
I wish someone recorded some of their behavior, to remove all the denial we see.
(who am I kidding, in the current world where shooting massacre victims are called crisis actors, no amount of evidence would matter)
Surely the thread is not that bad.
It sounds like other women experienced something similar when they visited that booth. If there are multiple accusers alleging the same thing, the likelihood that they are all lying goes down.
Yup. This was conveyed to Blizzard back in 2017.
There’s a hilarious science fiction story where a scientist predicts the exact moment an earthquake will cause California to break away from the United States and fall into the sea. He gets the vector wrong and the rest of the United States falls into the sea instead. It’s a bit dark maybe.
Most men do not like to discuss men abusing women. It makes them angry in a way that prompts a primal desire to commit immediate physical violence. Since the “alleged” perpetrators are beyond reach it creates an emotional conflict they don’t want to share with others. At least that’s how I feel about it.
I must have missed that bit of madness. Don’t explain I’ll go look it up.
Oh, those loons.
The earlier poster pointed out that there were similarities between the anti-J rhetoric in the 1930 and some of the present day rhetoric. - please explain where in that post there was shaming, insulting of quilting. All I see in your writing is deflection, another common tool that should be called out and exposed.
You say that it is not a good time to be a minority in the US. Would you please elaborate, without using the SIGN language? Don’t try to shame me for asking the question, just answer.
It brings Chester Bennington to my head poor guy. Like i said before (and won’t say it again incase i get silenced again) about his lyrics. DEEP SHIZ!
Unfortunately the start of abuse is the start of the demons. I guess he had many demons at him.
Btw… all of this thread has nothing to do with the Diablo team right just WoW?
Minorities getting suppressed, assaulted, basic rights taken away (some of the time “merely” attempts at taking it away).
I’d also say there’s a marked difference for being “discriminated against” when you’ve been a trash human vs. how you rolled in the birth lottery. Actions having consequences 'n all. The common trap the anti-woke love to fall into is the assumption that them merely existing is a crime, and thus an easy correlation, though easily horrid takes, to the bad of WW1/2. When it’s more likely behaviors and ideals they’ve partaken in are being called into question.
I recall the stink that came up when Schick dared to play an ad that “boys will be boys” is not a justification for harmful childhood behaviors, even though it could certainly be correlated into misbehavior in adult life. If a boy doesn’t like roughhousing and asks for it to stop, they certainly shouldn’t be brushed off because enduring it would “make a man out of him” as is commonly dismissed. The bullied becoming bullies isn’t an unheard of outcome. Moreover, that there was more to being a man than toxic masculinity. That went about as well as one would expect, though.
Activision-Blizzard (ATVI) the stock holding company, Blizzard Entertainment, and Activision Publishing - two of the sub units under the stockholding company.
While WoW seems right now to be one of the main teams with issues, it is broader than that - esp at the management, HR, and senior corporate level.
Yes, it did impact the Diablo team too - remember this is not all just about the sexual harassment, but poor workplace treatment as well.
You can read what former CS and Diablo CM Nevalistis had to say here.
And yes, I did ask her before posting the link on the forums.
As expected. A slogan that the reader must take on faith. A common mistake here is for the reader to try to disprove the slogan, making things worse, because it is near impossible to prove the negative. This is a common trap and it takes some practice to notice it and point it out to the public.
Please, elaborate by providing actual support for the claims presented.
Thanks for that deeply concerning information now i’m searching xD…
They working on our precious D4 still though right?
You have no idea how far you have gone. May this serve as Exhibit A for what the Left is like.
Also, men are not your enemy. The sooner you understand this, the better. May Kevin Samuels illuminate your path.
Nobody said they are.
There is a huge difference for hating someone for how they are born and people having to deal with the consequences of their personal actions.
Don’t equate some men getting held accountable for their poor behavior with “people punishing all men”.
If the reaction from someone is to scream “but men are hated/oppressed” when certain men are being sued or fired for sexual assault - yikes.
Also of note, men were sexually harassed too, and some of the perpetrators at Blizzard were women.
Stop acting like the world is out to get men.
Wait this guy who has a youtube on “high value men”?
Who says things like
To add fuel to the fire, Kevin Samuels often ranks his guests using his coined term, their “sexual marketplace value,” and bases their attractiveness on height, weight, dress size, and physical features. If he believes a woman is “below average” or an eight or less on a 10-point scale, he suggests they lower their expectations of attracting a high-value man. Those he sees as particularly unfit, he advises these women to settle for average men, or worse, less than average, to meet their personal and relational needs.
That is reddit MRA/pickupartist/MGTOW/Incel vibes right there
Uhh incels will take almost any woman and/or man there are many types. MGTOW aren’t looking for women at all. Pickup artists are looking for raw numbers and only consider attractiveness as an enhancement to their own reputation. MRA has nothing to do with dating at all. Initially everyone objectifies everyone else because it’s the only thing you know about the other person. Whether you want to meet them in any capacity depends on it. For instance I won’t talk to anyone wearing a hockey mask, and carrying a chainsaw dripping with blood. What you’re talking about is shallowness and it knows no limitation by any criteria. Kevin Samuels is a narcissist who lacks a conscience.
The dictionary definition of incel would take almost any woman, but MissCheetah is referring to the Urban Dictionary version of incel, which is what the quoted type of person is. “Modern” incel equates to abusive behaviour and/or physical actions. It sucks that the term incel has been usurped, but sadly that’s what it is.
