I used to work as a teller at a bank and at one point some higher up sent out an email to the branches talking about how great Chick Fil A’s customer service was and asking branch reps to brainstorm ways we could incorporate chick fil a’s policies into our own to improve the customer experience. I sent a long email explaining why I believed their customer service was insincere, overrated, and culty and why I believed it would be a bad idea to do anything to emulate their experience since people who come to banks don’t want to feel like theyre in a fast food restaurant.

A month later I had a raise and a new position in the customer service team. Sometimes speaking your mind can benefit you.

Though, quick disclaimer: I’m a cisgendered tall white dude. My experience is likely not indicative of someone else’s.

Totally going to be a rebranded MSI Claw mark my words.

I was playing arkham knight last night on geforce now and I could not for the life of me get the fancy fog and debris to work. Every time I’d turn them on the game would tell me I need to restart. Once I did the settings would just revert. Even though I had the option turned on to have Geforce now save my game configs. At the time I thought it was a bug since afaik the 4080 they’re using on their rigs supports these features fine. Now I’m wondering if it was an intentional choice to not allow those features on GeForce Now so as not to make the 50 series cards look bad.

Well no. As others have said the force in the pole will travel at the speed of sound.

Though if you were to wiggle the flashlight back and forth really fast the spotlight on the moon would travel “faster” than the speed of light.

Um. This is just flatly not true. For starters, according to the Chinese government themselves only 23 military personel died. And those casualties only occurred AFTER the peoples liberation army started using live rounds against protesters the evening of June the 3rd 1989. And the 300 number is very conservative. The actual number is likely in the thousands.

You very clearly are either a troll just making things up or you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about

I think the best parallel that could be drawn would be the [Kent State Shootings.] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings) given the similarities between the Kent state students’ goals and the Tiananmen students’ goals.

Though even then there were only four fatalities. No where near Tiananmen. Plus the US government isn’t doing anything to try to hide the murders either.

Are you seriously comparing the Tiananmen square massacre where at least 300 peaceful protesters/students were killed by the Chinese military to the Jan 6 riots where there were only two people killed? (Technically there were 5 deaths but three of them were either overdoses or natural causes). One was a cop killed by the rioters and another was a lady warned several times that she was going to be shot if she continued to break into the capital building.

These are not even remotely similar situations.

It’s hilarious to me to see something actually get a priest kicked out of the Catholic church.

Until it eventually does come to steam. Please don’t listen to these fuckers. They will say whatever they can for profit. It wouldn’t be the first time these people have lied about this exact thing only for the game to come to steam a year later.

So why exactly are we focusing on LGBTQ+ peoples here? Obviously they are equally deserving of protections just like everyone else, but This appears to read like we’re getting rid of DEI hiring practices entirely. Seems like something that would affect all protected groups. And arguably, racial minorities are a much larger group of people that are going to be hurt by this. Focusing on the gender binary thing really feels like distraction from the wider implications this has.

And the companies immediately coming out saying they’re ending their DEI practices before Trump was even in office really shows you how performative their adherance to the law really was. It really perfectly demonstates why we need these laws in the first place when companies are this eager to be openly against anti-discrimination.

Fervently Supporting a thing you wouldn’t support if you just gave a little critical thought to the matter feels uniquely American.
