You talk about cognitive impairment of others yet fail to understand the only thing you’re doing is imparting your world view and how you navigate it as how everyone else does/should. You have an extremely narrow perception of how the world works because you can only view it through your own lens.
The only one here impaired in their judgement is you.
Not everyone participates in reading the deeper meaning of media.
Some people just turn off their brains and watch the magic smiles box and come away liking the characters and movie without thinking any further than what was portrayed on screen.
Half the characters on this list are just really awesome visual/character portrayals.
They didn’t misunderstand the message, you misunderstood their intent going into the media.
You watch movies to dissect their meanings, others watch movies to escape reality for a bit.
I’m going to retire at 40, I think I’ll keep going instead of listening to you.
I love my job, even when I have to deal with nonsense like that and I’m compensated very well to be on call 24/7.
It can but I’m not looking to make things even more complicated. We have enough unexplained non-sense in the project as is, having to link it correctly is just endless pain that I don’t want to deal with.
I’ve completely banned any code that can’t be explained. I’ve had my CTO send me code at 3 AM to implement and when I ask him what I’m looking at he just says it doesn’t need review, just push it.
Uhh, no sir, I’m not doing shit because you’ve handed me GCC and we’re MSVC.
After I bitched endlessly to the CEO about that he said I have final say on what goes into the project.
Me whenever I see pizzacake posted.
Tech companies cozying up with the government?
Oh boy it must be a day ending in y.
Seriously, this has been happening forever. Hell, when Snowden leaked Bush/Obama’s prism program, the response was a collective yawn.
Yea I really hate it when my shapeshifting demi-god narrative gets interrupted by anatomical errors of deities.
“The only way it ever ends is when it finally eats itself.”
Ah yes, the American special, do literally nothing, hope and pray someone else does something instead. Nothing ever happens and more kids get raped.
You yanks are utterly brainwashed useless dogs and are a threat to the entire planet because of your inaction.
And who is the arbiter of unreasonable? Sony.
It’s their policy, they get to determine what is unreasonable, not some independent neutral third party.
“I only work at evil corporation, I pull the levers doing the day to day evil stuff, but you gotta understand, I’m a good guy, being evil is just my paycheck.”
This is so easily gamed. Make social media accounts of people you don’t like, be extremely toxic towards Sony on them.
Watch that person get their accounts nuked from orbit.
Do that until someone sues Sony.
This is the sort of bullshit that companies intentionally put out to get back good PR. “It wasn’t us, it was the shadowy execs!”
It’s PR 101, blame nameless people that may or may not exist and you get the good will back on your side as the hatred is focused on people that either don’t care or don’t exist.
I mean, actively silencing people because they can’t afford a lawyer to defend themselves is pretty much all you need to be a piece of shit. Parody has repeatedly been upheld as fair use, however you still have to appear and defend yourself and that takes time and money, more than most people have. So in effect C&D letters become one sided sledgehammers when used against average people.
To be fair, she’s heavily protected, to the point where criticism will get you banned and she throws around cease and desist letters to anyone parodying her work.
She has more than earned the scorn she gets, she just also happens to be a woman on the internet and that comes with sexism by default.
We actually can turn lead into gold and fairly easily now, it’s just that it would cost you billions of dollars to make pennies worth of gold.
Just because it’s super important.
DO NOT TALK ABOUT CRIMES YOU COMMIT OR POST THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
There are two types of criminals, those that keep their mouth shut and those getting arrested.
If you somehow get approached by police, DO NOT SPEAK TO THEM AT ALL. Explicitly state that you want a lawyer to represent you and that you will not be speaking or answering any questions. The only questions you have to legally answer (in most jurisdictions) is to identify yourself. Once you have done that, ask for a lawyer and SHUT THE FUCK UP.
There’s a time and place to talk and it’s with your lawyer present.
It’s a rumor from a guy who heard a thing from a dude who knows someone that overheard this other guy while walking past a hallway where two people happened to be speaking about something they read online.
If you want to believe it, you’re free to do so, god have mercy on you though, you probably believe a lot of very stupid things.
