The trend of “let’s make a woke cast of characters that are all from different cultural backgrounds!!111” and then completely abandoning good storytelling and worldbuilding is maddening.

I get there have always been garbage stories but most of the failures have all been from replacing a good story with ideology. You can’t just abandon good story with established world logic and expect fans to not be up in arms. For some reason people forget that the only reason why characters become idols is because of the great stories they are in, not because the character looks like xyz (though cool character design does score some points too.)

I don’t really have many videogame examples of this stuff, just movies and tv shows. Games can usually get away with a bad story and good gameplay or perhaps vice versa. Movies and TV have no gameplay (depth) to fall back on.

Don’t get me started on the DNC and the fact that the voters really don’t have any real choice when it comes to who is elected.

I’ll never forgive them for screwing Bernie and handing the election to Trump by picking Hillary.

When less than 50% of the population wants to vote for you, it’s obvious you’re a garbage candidate.

Let’s get rid of the garbage candidates. Maybe there’s some adults under the age of 60 who aren’t total shitbags we can nominate.

“Way down” based on what poll exactly? Both of the candidates are within 2%, certainly within margin of error.

Biden isn’t really any different % wise than a month ago. Trump is up 1% from a month ago. It’s not like it’s 60/40, it’s 42/39.8

Only ever did it for mold reasons. I don’t like refrigerated bread because refrigeration sucks the moisture out. If i’m going away for the weekend though and i’ve got a loaf and it’s gonna be a hot weekend i’m certainly going to store the bread in the fridge.

The guy can say anything he wants. It’s not like if he does something illegal that the supreme court is going to convict him. He doesn’t need to ever win an election, he’s there for life.

This will just upset the people who already know the guy is a problem and are already upset with him.

I wish justices had term limits.

Being a worker is degrading.

Being an owner is empowering.

I honestly think ATS are a pain in the ass simply to filter out the people who won’t deal with bullshit. They want people who will live with bullshit working for them because the org is (always) dysfunctional.

Alternatively… their HR technology team is just trash because it’s run by HR and not someone who knows technology. Seen it plenty of times where shadow IT is being run by people who don’t know what they’re doing beyond “we need this thing.”

Thousands of applications and only dozens of jobs.

Imagine a world where there are countless open job reqs and only one applicant per job. That might be the case if the world population was not 8 billion.
