Interviewer: why are you a good fit for valve?
Hoopo: we sold ror before we could make a third
interviewer: welcome aboard!
Man i look at that picture and think: douche bag.
Executives, focus on executives.
As a parent, this is a parenting/personal issue, fuck off and please spend my money doing useful things (like supporting health care, or housing) not attempting to protect my children.
Giving someone a bad review is stating ng your opinion, telling others to do the same is more of the same, just like you've done here.
The reason for crunch is oversupply of employees who want to work in the industry or product. This doesn't happen where employees value their time, or there is a undersupply of talent.
Games are not cheap when compared to other entertainment, and they involve the same magnitude of costs, these are businesses and crunch is exploiting talent.
There is a bad actor here, but it's not the customer.
review bombing them and calling for boycotts because they raised their prices is fucking bullshit.
Just like you've stated your opinion here, they also can and should do that.
I wish every gamer had to work through crunch on at least one game
This is silly, developers shouldn't put up with crunch, but the blame for this doesn't lie with the customers, but instead with the corporation exploiting them.
You seem to be attacking the customer, and commiserating with the employees, but completely ignoring that somewhere all the value of the enterprise is being extracted. All in favour of status quo, this is terrible for everyone who actually works on the game, or pays for the game.
no please no
Seems like that would hurt Canadian journalism rather than kill the internet?
I read one of his books before i knew who he was, and found although the advice was mostly common sense (if a bit context free) advice, followed by long rants about traditional family's, and backed up by bible. I found myself thinking "what about behaviourism research?", you know there has been progress in the last 100 years. I'm ashamed that the traditional family shit didn't tip me off.
I've found him come up in my google feeds often too, It's insidious.
In terms of convincing your brother about how off this guy is, generally there are how to approach things on line (i.e. you can't always take a logical approach). I've also encountered this kind of thing in my extended family, I've got distant aunts that likely voted for trump, and they are otherwise decent people (i.e. not racist, and supportive).
The whole "article"
Canada Post reported a before-tax loss of $254 million for its second quarter. Revenue dropped by $78 million, or six per cent, year-over-year. Canada Post announced a transformation plan in June that targeted the e-commerce market for parcel delivery but ruled out staffing cuts.
Canada post costs money to run, it doesn't lose money, just like our hospitals and schools cost money, they aren't lost we are paying for these things so we have a nice place to live.
It's a small thing, but it's a huge difference of meaning.
If there was anything else at all in the article explaining the increase being unnecessary then maybe...
Working lunch...
Never again
I don't know who this guy is, but his response seems ultra shitty.
Wondering if everyone else thinks this would have been a reasonable response: "it was a different time, black face wasn't seen as raciest in the circles i kept, i apologize for any offence i caused, it won't happen again"
