This is the literal stereotype of everyone who refers to themselves as a ‘free thinker’. The average joe Rogan ‘NPC’, as you put it.
The kind of guy you are a repellant towards.
Which nail did I hit too square to tilt you, bro? Chest-beating gymcel? Can’t cook or clean for yourself? Insecurity is my favorite trait of ‘real men’, lol.

You wanted my attention, now you go it. Have enough?
No, you favor the trained to not speak beta types.
Joe Rogan is literally a media personality. An ACTOR. He makes a living talking. The definition of soft. Identical to a news anchor. Is that ‘real man’ work?
Unions are great tools to ensure fair worker treatment, but they are not without flaws as well. Gatekeeping in trade unions as to who gets in, corruption, inability to fire poor performers, etc. Overall though, I support unions where needed. Gaming is an industry that could certainly use that kind of organization.
I also want to address the concept of promotion based on time in job. Not getting fired yet does not make someone the best qualified for a promotion - esp in a Union where you have to basically kill someone to get fired. Time != talent and capability. It can certainly be correlated but is not a stand alone promotional metric that has much value. That is one of the flaws of some union systems.
K. That’s why you hate him so much.
As someone who has belonged to a union for 15 years, let’s just say that the lowest common denominator sets the pay scale as well. They are all pretty much rife with nepotism.
There is no situation in any industry where workers shouldn’t have a union, and the ‘problems’ you mention are fairly easy to fix, where they actually exist at all. George Meany doesn’t run the AFL-CIO anymore. It’s not 1971. Demographics most interested and active in union organizing are those historically underrepresented in political and social contexts. And firing ‘poor performers’ is just a smokescreen argument corporations use.
Don’t repeat anti-union dreck you’re fed by companies afraid of giving people who work for them fair treatment.
See, this is why I have been so supportive our OUR interaction in this thread. You are able to see things many times without bias (I mean that as a true compliment, not derogatory in any way)
I too can see both sides of what is good in Unions and I could very easily argue all the negative you mentioned because I agree.
Again, with the topic at hand (specifically Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer) there are positives and negatives as well, just like unions. All I am arguing is the negatives that everyone on here either overlooks, ignores or actively champions are there and it seems to set off a hornets nest saying it is not the second coming or something
Fun fact, I met Richard Trumka twice. Now he is dead, but still.
Sorry, he won’t admit it but he was just embarrassed by his intellectual inadequacy just before you started posting and now he’s lashing out to make himself feel better.
It’s really sad childish behavior.

My foot was crushed by a 1200lb heater…severe permanent nerve damage.
I wasn’t at a base…I was seperated and moved back to my home state…
I wasn’t getting money from it yet. Reread what I said dude.
Funny, I think the fact that I am doing it is rather heroic…
I quit my full time job to work part time in a job way beneath what I used to do to take care of my son (and I have some my own issues). I still cut my hours as much as I could when I was a single dad because well I figured my kids were the future and much more important than anything I could do at a job.
Silly me.
ok, as bad as the is, that will in no way stop you from ever working again. Most people are also smart enough to know the payday is coming. Even if you lost the foot you would be no worse than a diabetic who lost their leg. Sorry not sorry. If you see enough trauma in your life, sometimes you just gotta go well yeah that’s bad but on a scale of 1-10 it’s maybe a 5. I wish it never happened to you, but it did.
And now how much did you get for your settlement and how much disability do you get now - from the service or SS? Again many people are smart like that knowing what you will get and put in the work ahead of time.
…not looking for your input, I am pointing out how wrong you were. These women got nothing but time with me and they were fine with it.
That isn’t really any of your business champ. You are going into wanting details that aren’t really any of your business whatsoever. I gave you what happened, that’s all you need to know. Also…you don’t sue the military for a settlement…just a FYI. You get evaluated then you get a rating.
Not all women care about how much money a guy makes dude. Especially if you aren’t just going to the bar to pick women up. Maybe that is a you problem and who you are going for? Also, dude thinking ALL women just want a husband that makes money is some straight female hating incel bs man. Do better. Even if you got hurt by your ex wife, or others, do better because that isn’t all women. Not even close. Generalizing just makes you look bad.

I mean it seems pretty clear at that Blizzard has a not-so-great culture that they really need to work on.
Nope.
I was part of the big Pacific Bell - Southwestern Bell merger back in the day. The corporate suits told us to get together and find ‘best practices’ going forward. Within days it devolved into turf wars and job assassinations. I literally told my wife that if I had to go to San Francisco one more time she was going to have to follow me and bail me out of jail. After a couple of years of daily warfare, the suits decided to can the best practices stuff and told everyone how to function going forward. If they had done that at the beginning it would have saved lots of anger and frustration, not to mention quite a few jobs.
