I think each woman has her own reasons (some people actually like traditions) but I have the impression that, globally, women are not the same as what we see online. I think today the taking of a surname does not indicate ownership or property, at least to most modern women (and men).
I don’t think any woman thinks like that anymore, or perhaps not many, so the motivations would then also be obviously different.
And the executives and management… who did this to Boeing, what will happen them while the rest are having their lives thrown into turmoil?
Nothing, because after all, they were simply executing the mission of the shareholders (who are blameless in all of this). Maximize profit, minimize cost.
This is simply more of that same mission. They hurt the company, we pay with our livelihood.
Yes definitely. Anything that spreads knowledge should be hugely supported.
Be very suspicious of anyone advocating for less support of knowledge sharing.
I’m really enjoying Bluesky strangely enough, not normally my thing.
Get offline, and simplify. Start doing things that are good for you. There is yet joy to come.
Do it. Promises from super powers are worthless. Only power itself matters. And all the other countries are aware of it too now.
Yeah. Most people are probably experiencing the shock of what they thought the American people were vs what they are. It’s hard to understand and accept.
As foreigners, our views are heavily affected by things like Hollywood, celebrity and visibility to the “best of America”. But the bulk of America is not that, at all. So the veneer is torn away and it’s jarring to most people.
The only positive I see in all this is that we get to watch the US get what they voted for. Pain can be a teacher, but I doubt they can learn from it. Any and all agony from this will just be the other parties fault, always. Too much venom and malice in the politics and too little earnest substance.
Most Americans like and support Trump. That IS America.
Huge respect to them, well done
It seems that happiness is something in one’s mind, an internal state. I’ve seen people happy who have very little, and the opposite. Happiness is therefore a perception. The mind is the lens through which we perceive everything, so focusing the lens at the right things and ensuring it’s a clean lens are the right starting point to “finding” happiness.
Cleaning the lens: Eat well, sleep well, exercise.
These three fundamentals lay the foundation of a clean lens. If you do the above, you have created the best physical conditions for your mind. You are unfortunately a chemical creature, so the physical state of your brain is critical to all pursuits, including perception of reality.
The next step is pointing the lens at the right things, stay tuned for our next episode!
Always amazed people still support this platform with traffic and attention. We deserve whatever we get.
We’re not going to hit those targets anyway… SO LET’S MAKE IT WAY FUCKING WORSE
I wonder if we’ll ever get to the place where people like this unexpectedly meet violent ends. They’ll sacrifice any number of lives for their shareholders interests.
Let me try.
By creating a culture that singularly valued money and production over all other concerns, including the well-being of staff, Kotick created and cultivated the conditions needed for abuse to set in.
And Kotick is the kind of sociopath that leads to this when other things are swept under the rug.
Maybe it wasn’t a line item on his payslip though.
Yeah, but Kotick was not really the real issue. He’s a straw man of sorts, a target dummy, designed to draw fire for unpopular decisions.
It is the board and shareholders who massively incentivized him into that behaviour. CEOs are brought in to act in the interests of shareholders, while also abstracting them away from blame and direct culpability.
The goal of blizzard (and any other publically listed company) is wealth creation for shareholders via share price growth, not making games per se.
The CEO and his management team created this, they did not take care of the workforce, and they cultivated the most recent reputational damage.
I believe the answer is “A lot of Americans”.
If this game releases with good quality my friends and I are day 2 customers for sure. Seems fun as hell from the videos.
This guy was brought on the team as a distraction, and his axing is already planned for a moment where they want to steal the news cycle
Yeah, I like them but I’m firmly in the camp of waiting for player reviews. We’ll see.
That’s up to Trump, because your vaunted checks and balances are gone.
Think he’s going to show restraint? Insight? Empathy?
