seems like the guy just wants to hurt kadokawa and the industry at large because he was caught doing something he shouldn’t have been doing.

it’s not, it’s an ex executive. I surmise he’s no longer there for a very obvious reason.

trauma bonding is a real thing and victims sometimes seek out content to continue traumatization.

your gf is likely seeking comfort through the trauma of current events. since you’re both seeking the same thing (comfort) but through different methods you should take the initiative and invite her over to spend time together. set boundaries on what you will and will not talk about though. if she can’t follow your needs then you might want to reconsider the relationship.

there’s no reason to sacrifice your own mental health for someone who refuses to consider your emotional state.

surely your wife and children do to cover their bruises?

sounds legit.

anyone whose had to deal with vibe coders knows, they can make the ship go but couldn’t tell you how it works or how to fix it.

love it, but it won’t happen.

Dr Horrible was released 17 years ago.

this is what those people want.

I personally have not, but every day my bowels are tested with the onslaught of stupidity from humanity.

it would be hilarious if someone got grok to replace “anto-woke” with “rascist” and “antifa” with “anti-nazi”. maybe then some of those clueless dumb fucks would wake up and see the bullshit around their mouths.

honestly, I think we’re all in for a rude awakening. there’s varying shades of prejudice in the world and we’re about to find out who’s on which side of the “Nazi” line.

some are obvious, others not so much. I also think there’s going to be some more surprises along the way outside of Jewish fascists or self-proclaimed black Nazis.

there was nuance to WW2 that we lost in translation of history because it wasn’t part of the narrative the script writers wanted to tell.

All I can hope for is a bloodless transition back to sanity and back to a constitutional republic with a solidification of rights to all citizens including basic human rights as documented by the UN.

or the folks who still defend their stance on “Democrats support genocide” as an excuse for not voting or voting third party.

like yeah, we get it. they aren’t much better in that regard, but…maybe we wouldn’t have needless tariff wars, or verbal attacks on our closest allies, or ICE kidnapping American citizens, or American citizens being shipped to prisons in other countries, or concentration camps in America, or…had we voted for Harris and let Trump win(don’t even get me started on that bullshit).

same opinion is one thing, but when two different people give verbatim the same bullet points it’s a bit obvious.

couldn’t care less for the downvotes tbh, if anything I’ll wear them as a badge of honor.

my problem is getting 30 downvotes in five minutes in a sub that has maybe five active users at any given hour of the day.

doubt. any community with 1000 active users is prime for manipulation.

been that way since I joined.

it’s crazy how I can call someone out in a low traffic community and end up with 30 downvotes in five minutes.

it’s also funny how when you call different people out on similar topics you get the same word-for-word response back from weeks or months ago.

I’m not saying it’s bots, but…

you must have a lot of trust in your government.

giving examples of what it’s used for doesn’t make it any better that you’re forced to install software on your personal device by your government for simply existing and is an invasion of privacy.

in my country my government wanted to use facial recognition for online transactions that were previously accessible via government IDs. it was found that the facial recognition software was provided by a corporate identity provider that was then selling that same data to local police that then tracked people through local government surveillance.

when it comes to technology, I have zero faith in every government in the world to have my best interests in mind. they are all guilty of either being complicit in eroding civil rights or negligent in upholding the protections built for civil liberties.

you don’t know the half of it.

Shawn Gorman, a lawyer who worked at Axon until 2019, said the company had a high-pressure culture of loyalty, unlike anything he has seen in nearly two decades of practice.

“It was truly toxic,” he said.

this is an employee and her mother getting tased at one of these events.

• disowned his granddaughter because she was interviewed on a documentary about the wealthy
• propublica published and article pointing out the hypocrisies of his trading ethics and what he publicly states are his ethics
• in 2008 he invested $5bln in Goldman Sachs, the company that is considered ground zero for the 2008 recession
• continues to support and invest in fossil fuels despite the clear evidence of the dangers to our planet
• has been accused of multiple cases of insider trading his entire career

he’s no monster, sure. he’s also no saint either. he’s guilty of being complicit with the current class warfare and division of equality in the world. not only that, he has profited directly by the suffering of people.

to me, that makes him a bad person. I’m sure he’ll lose lots of sleep over that.

maybe instead of trying to work with the fascist ideological cult, previously known as the Republican party, her and her fellow democrats should instead be focused on making it as difficult as possible for the current fascist regime to function?

maybe if they had a spine to stand up for what is best for the country we might not be facing the realistic threat of concentration camps in America.

they were elected to serve and protect American interests. tell me, how does working with the “obvious elephant” in the room serve and protect American interests?
