I don’t think they named the room the Cosby suite because they planned to rape people in it. But saying there was zero public knowledge that Cosby was potentially a rapist until 2015 just isn’t true. Maybe that’s when a lot of you found out, but it’d been in news articles and other discussion...

I never knew Furor and don't think Furor/Führer was a thing. That being said last name Afrasiabi = Iranian = 100% guaranteed Antisemite, which is true of all Muslims and 75-90% of Europeans as well.

EQ's overall pop is roughly stable / slightly growing as per the financial disclosures EG7 made when they acquired Daybreak.

Nice. I'm assuming you can sell a card w/money still on it for crack or meth?

I'm curious because I've never been on it, but does welfare come as a check or just a direct deposit?

It was just for one day. Note that for white collar workers a one day "walk out" has almost no corporate impact at all. When factory workers would do it in the old days, that cost the owner x amount of lost production and money he wasn't ever getting back. In a white collar job most likely you...

It's a real shame when people just make shit up on the internet and you can find easily researched government sources that show union members make more money: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/union2.pdf

The fact that the best they could get out of it was OW suggest the MMO version of it was really bad.

One of my random jobs in my early 20s I interacted with FedEx/UPS/USPS drivers a lot who came on site to deliver shit. There was also a big UPS hub nearby that a lot of people I went to college with would work at over Christmas break and shit. I never really knew anyone associated with UPS who...

WilmerHale isn't really a "union busting" law firm, that's Kotaku bad journalism nonsense. WilmerHale is a storied white-shoe firm, they represent any big clients with money. Union busting is no more their "specialty" than anything else in corporate litigation. Big commercial litigation firms...

EQ also had some core design issues + a lot of its team got cannibalized over to work on SWG and executives decided to launch GoD completely unfinished which were major blunders worse than anything Blizz has done. Blizzard's biggest sin is it's just made the game tedious and boring, 2004-2007...

For a long time the perception was Activision was undermining what made Blizzard "special." I think one thing that has come out of all this is maybe the realization Blizzard itself has internal problems that really can't be pinned on Activision, if anything it's like a company that just did too...

WoW probably has enough passive subs from people that long ago forgot to cancel that it would remain the #2 MMO or so on the market for years just on that momentum alone. I do think the poor quality of 9.1 (much more than any of the nonsense being discussed here) which was kind of a final straw...

I post here exclusively for the MMO threads, unfortunately it looks like we had some anal leakage from the rest of the forum into the WoW thread and it got filled up with the Q / 8 chan / welfare recipient crowd that populates the other parts of the forum.

We could also talk about all the Big Brain comments from the low IQs in this thread saying Activision is "Doomed" and going under. The company grew revenue 25% in 2020, has doubled its net income in 4 years. It's 2.2b in revenue Q1 2021 is up from prior year Q1 (1.78b), and its net income is up...

I do. Typical low information / low IQ post from FOH poster drone-048. This forum is literally the approximate quality of a local Facebook news thread filled with 60 year old Karens and angry trailer park trash with wrap around sunglasses for days.

It's funny in that story your beef is with the Union instead of with Ford. Do you think that things would have been any better if Ford didn't have to work with a Union? You can look to autoworkers in the U.S. South who make like 1/3rd the wage of the unionized Detroit autoworkers and get your...

That's like when you see someone post a screenshot from Light Mode Discord, it's a direct view into how the mentally injured live.

State government jobs are not union jobs necessarily, many states don't allow public sector unions. But civil servants are protected by state level "Civil Service Acts" which were developed in the early 20th century to replace the old system of government jobs where you got hired based on what...

MT Pop = 1m US Pop = 330m US Pop - MT Pop = 329m 329m / 330m = 99.6%

A union has a similar role to an employee as a defense attorney does in a criminal case. They are an advocate/agent who acts on your behalf. Lots of defense attorneys go into court and try to get rapists and murderers acquitted, that doesn't mean defense attorneys are a bad thing. Your buddy...

Is that like when you got mad that your nonsense point about at will employment was pointed out as exposing you have literally no fucking clue about anything you're talking about? If you want an actual response from me substantiate your nonsensical claim that unionized employees can't be...

Hey man are you crying?

So you're taking the edgelord position on a forum that's like 98% white nerds age 30 to 45 that woke culture sucks? I think you may be preaching to the already converted friend, you probably need to head down to the cultural equivalent of Africa or something to find some fresh converts. I don't...

I'm not gonna go tit for tat with a retard. You said something dumb, likely something you sucked out of Tucker Carlson's asshole one night while jerking off to pics of AOC or some shit, and I'm not gonna delve into that with you. You showed based on your posts you had little to no knowledge...

Okay grandpa Joe.

Like I said the structure of U.S. unions is garbage because of the shop system, literally no other country has ever used a union system like that, and it's a system that was designed to make unions less effective, and it worked. If we actually had a functioning labor system in the United States...

I mean I see like 5 dudes who are posting at least 4-5 times a day in this thread who seem to basically be obsessed with defending companies and simping out against employees at every turn. I literally don't ever open the politics subforums on this forum due to the class of people who post here...

I mean I don't know you're the one who brought up at will employment. Would you care to attempt a coherent thought? I love all the literal corporate simps in this thread. What is it you think you're getting out of deep throating any random corporation you can find that will let you hold onto its...

So it's funny because anyone who says things like "states where employment is At Will" know almost nothing about employment law. Employment at Will is the standard in the United States. I can go into much more depth if you want, but the only state that isn't At Will is Montana, and it's a common...

I mean box sales are revenue, stock price declines don't have a direct impact on the company's revenue or profitability. They have an impact on the short term stakes of the investors, which is why the CEO will be sensitive to it. Except you get the same shit at every non-union company I've ever...

Unions don't really make lazy workers. I've never been unionized and have worked in white collar jobs my whole career. Most large organizations carry some % of people who do minimal or no work, because it's difficult to manage a large organization so tightly that you can entirely prevent it...

The big issue with unions in America is our labor laws create "shop" unions, where a single specific union has to win an election at a specific work site, once they do, everyone at that work site is represented by that union (in a closed shop which I think may not even be legal anymore, but if...

I like all the people acting like the world is ending because a bunch of manbabies is being held to the same standards most of us who aren't in the games industry have been held to at work our entire adult lives. If you want to play grab ass at work go work in a bar or strip club or some shit...

It's also because they're stupid as fuck dude. I'm a literal nobody and I knew better than to put this shit on the internet 20 fucking years ago. Afrasiabi was basically a gaming celebrity and a higher up at Blizzard, Ghostcrawler was a very public face of the biggest game in the world back...

The lawsuit is civil, it won't turn into criminal action that isn't really how it works. A prosecutor would have to be investigating specific crimes and find probable cause a crime was committed. Pre-indictment criminal investigations are also usually more or less secret (grand jury proceedings...

Yeah I mean the military isn't a great prepper for corporate life, or any real employment at all to be frank. Some of the worst employees I've ever had in software development are retired military. There's a few diamonds in the rough, but a lot of the programming in the military is just so...

Yeah I've never been big on social media at all. Facebook came out in like 2005? I think when I was in college and me and most of my friends spun up accounts, I had a profile pic and that was it. Around the time I graduated I noticed a bunch of people had tagged me in photos from parties and...

Nah, Cosby being a rapist was fairly well known in the 2000s, but it never got legs. I definitely was aware of it, but the context was like "a few women have accused Cosby of raping them", and then no follow up. The difference in the MeToo era is the media doesn't let these stories die, which...
