cost the company money, problem

Well, that's not the problem I saw

She was discussing game development issues on twitter.

Someone gave insight from the perspective of a player

She snapped at him for commenting on the problem, as he's just a player.

Or a man. Or generally not on staff

yeah, she obviously has issues

or whatever the reasoning was

and shouldn't have been in the position she was in

i.e. able to respond to players in an official capacity

Firing might've been a little overkill

maybe

It's also entirely possible, though

but she soured the the name of the company now

that this, as Tim would say, was the grain of sand that made a heap

Right now, absolutely.

But I don't believe we know anything about her interactions with coworkers

I think we know enough about her interactions with customers to merit an opinion, don't you think?

It's worth noting that the Media has a trend towards isolating incidents to preserve a narrative.

oh for sure

This is valid for the games media as well

gotta keep control of the narraive

Glenn Greenwald: MSNBC Does Not Merely Permit Fabrications Against Democratic Party Critics. It Encourages and Rewards Them.

Russian bots are back: #WalkAway attack on Democrats is a likely Kremlin operation

Yeah, assuming that these were the only incidents and she hadn't been talked to before about problems and didn't create internal problems or react poorly internally I'd rather she been forced to apologize and told not to act like that in public, but oh well. I think most people would be fired if they did that IN the workplace

People need to realize that if they want to act like an idiot you don't do it while wearing your employee uniform, and that is what they do on Twitter

@Yuukas seems like all you'd need to do to discredit an entire grassroots movement would be to make a few bots to support it.

Even if there are some bots in there I'm sure discounting all those who are legitimate as propagandists won't do much to change their mind

I love how people ignore the fact that Russian bots and propaganda were posted on both sides of issues too

Why is it that these bots are so easily traced to Russia anyway?

There were paid FB posts for both pro and anti 2a, Dem and Repub etc

They aren't, but I don't really care where they're from

It's moot when they're hitting both sides

Do that want people to know to spread division and appear strong, or are they really from elsewhere?

i imagine the bots are intentionally easy to find because they exist so that they can be used to invalidate things

"quick, people are starting to use this twitter hashtag, put the bots on it so we can say it's all just bots"

Because I doubt they'd be so incompetent at hiding their trail if it were them and that didn't want people to know

It sucks because it's really hard to know and both scenarios are plausible

honestly the first country everyone goes to for falsifying their location when doing shady shit is russia

or ukraine

if someone is using a russian IP address when performing an attack I would be equally likely to assume they're from somewhere else

true

honestly if they're doing anything shady that requires half a brain, wherever their IP says they are is basically the only place you can immediately write off as not being where they are

Aren't many VPNs located in Russia or am I mistaken?

many VPN providers will offer russian or ukrainian servers

regardless of where the company itself is located

oh, apparently putin banned VPN providers from operating last year

Yeah

venisuwalia did

along with tor

Just watched Tim’s video on that Spanish guy getting beat with a brick. Savage. Well anyway.....
TYT blamed it on White supremacy and Trump. It’s a short video, but it’s high on fake news.
https://youtu.be/7MlGDFDvk_8

and he's 92... even the smallest injury can be a serious matter.

@scaryred24 did you seriously just say ```venisuwalia```

/\ Still in Anarchy

Ancaps paradise

yea yet they never go live there hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm

Just like leftists don't go live in Russia, China, cuba or Venezuela.

yep

"that's not real anarchy"

lol

its almost as if theyre all HYPOCRITES

No really, an ancap told me that

sigh

like "that wasnt real communism"

"it's just a bunch of warlords. That's not anarchy"

Thats literally what would happen

Just like bitch, we made society out of anarchy and warlord was on that path, tf you think would happen

but like what if we all got along and agreed to be nice? Surely that will work right?

Seriously, they wouldn't accept that they we're basically arguing for tribalism again.

pffft implying humans arent all cunts sometimes

Literally a step backwards in time

i know some people who want tribalism

although its hard to tell if they are shitposting

one is a NAZBOL

that much i can confirm

The thing that gets me about anarchy is that they'll talk about having a town guard, and the people working together and having their own sets of rules that they enforce because everyone agrees on them...

the other i think is just trying to be edgy

Like how is that an anarchy?

"you know, I think the native Americans had it right. The middle East and Italy too before we forced them to be countries"

Your town guard is just a police force with another name

The ancapistan argument I heard re: Somalia was always that it was good relative to other countries around the same "level"

Middle East already made themselves countries before European involvement

They mean black countries? JK jk

I'm sure they mean development level

so thaat's why the flag is black

Other surrounding African countries really

they want fuedalism
