If this doesn't get brought up during Question Time I'll be very disappointed
Meanwhile,
` the company has fought a sustained battle against increases to the minimum wage, an issue that affects women disproportionately`
*W O M E N M O S T A F F E C T E D*
So
Make sure your shift is covered
that's not the law here at least
number of times fucking cunts at our company have chucked sickies *the day of*
leaving everyone else scrambling to cover
One guy was asked to provide a doctor's certificate for the days he took off
and he quit on the spot
once again leaving everyone else scrambling to cover his shifts
A doctors note here is like a MOAB
Managers cannot do shit if you have a Doctors note
also EU Law makes people very difficult to fire
that is a lie, I've fired lots of people - people think it's "hard" because they can't just fire people on the spot, but that's nonsense
it's a persons life you're talking about
the only thing you need to do is provide 3 written, signed letters where you point to a specific thing you've required them to do within a time period, that they haven't done, for example
of course I've never had a firing challenged, but lawyer said I'm fine
depends where you work. If you got HR up your ass some people are just impossible to fire
๐
lol, yup
like I said elsewhere, comments section is the fucking apocalypse
legit surprised we're still discussing this in current year
It's such a losing issue, too
I legit believe that part of the reason Rs were able to make such a comeback was because of the generational changeover since the 1990s, where so many young people who grew up to be R voters/conservatives played video games just like any other teenager
having older conservatives rail against video games all over again just makes them look as out of touch as the people who did it in the 90s over games like Night Trap
And the Dems did the same thing against metal music in the 80s
I mean, I'm sure there were Rs who went right along with the the campaign against metal music, but Tipper Gore was leading the fuckin' charge against it
I think Bannon used to help Trump with these types of issues, make sure he didn;t look "out of touch" as you say
mmm
much as I find Bannon to be pretty fucking greasy
you might still be right on that point
Now everyone who advises him are the same old republicans who used to do this shit in the past lol
I have seen that people claim data reflects what they claim though; that video games do have an effect on people becoming a little more violent. But I ask myself (without having looking at the data they refer to yet) is it the fact that video games have made people a little more violent, or the fact that violent people might be attracted to killing things in video games (among many other types of people)?
So far, every study has shown no correlation between exposure of violent video games (or violent media in general) and violent behavior.
So even claiming "we don't know the answer to that yet" is a big fat lie.
I see
Glaciers are SEXIST
It's just so silly; I've seen this time and time again with SJWs and feminists trying to argue the 77 cent or 1-in-5 arguments, citing 'studies' that have been widely discredited. Then suddenly it's "studies can't prove anything! listen to these anecdotal examples instead!" and so on. Walsh himself states " I don't care what your studies say" and I just slumped in my chair and groaned upon reading it. There are people calling for gun control saying the exact same things and arguing on nothing but emotive sophistry.
He also says things like "A person needs sunlight, human interaction, human experience, fresh air. It is depressing to live a life deprived of those things" which I reckon everyone here can agree to, but then tries to jury-rig such an agreeable statement into meaning "games are bad for you because you don't get these things if you are a gamer". Which is dumb. It is entirely possible for a person to deprive one's self of the above qualities without the ebil videogayme vortex sucking them all away from you.
Why not try to argue that training in boxing, MMA, gridiron or any contact sport is also bad for you? Oh, right, the human interaction, got it. Nevermind that you're bashing into someone else on purpose. For enjoyment. For other people's enjoyment. And no, I'm not arguing against these things, considering I train some of them myself. I'm highlighting how asinine such a line of argumentation actually is.
I'm surprised he didn't refer to video games as 'murder simulators', but I guess he found other ways to emotively describe that which he is condemning.
The irony, of course, is that if it was all about 'murdering people' then the layers upon layers of architecture that go into a *good* game that people *want to play* wouldn't matter. Most games give your human opponents just as much opportunity to 'get' you - and those few games that don't (eg Dead by Daylight) involve many players trying to escape from one in a completely fictionalised fantasy setting. Also consider that nearly all of these games are team-based, and that's usually the foundation upon which the rest of the game is created
This is before mentioning the number of 'survival' games that exist out there, extending all the way to 'horror survival' where you, as the player, have no alternative but to sneak, avoid and escape that which is trying to attack you
And then you have all the games that either A) have you completely seperate from the violence taking place, in a commander's role (be it a WWII-based game like Hearts of Iron or an RTS like Command & Conquer), or B) have no violence in them at all (a huge market, not just limited to "The Sims" but includes various farming/construction/trucking/train simulators, role-playing games, sports games, city builders/'god games', and so on. Consider how popular games like 'Rocket League' are, as but one of many possible examples.
But nah. Silly pimply-faced gamurz jus' enjoy simulatin' killing peeple! Bad for you! stahp it! It might indirectly kinda-sorta turn you into a school shooter! Or at least make you sad!
Geez.

70% of the youth unfit for immediate recruitment
I remember posting about this a while ago; good to see it's finally getting some traction
I know Ben had heard about it almost immediately. Guess he was waiting for sufficient 3rd party confirmation
yup.
I found out about from a place called
"The Conservative Treehouse"
which isn't the most legit-sounding name
But they had all the links to the claims they were making
Like, actual sworn affidavits from police officers and everything
lemmesee if I can go find it..
`In 2012 and 2013 while doing research into the Trayvon Martin shooting we discovered an alarming set of school policies being enacted in Miami-Dade and Broward County Florida. The policies were called โdiversionary programsโ and were essentially about stopping High School students from being arrested. Law enforcement was instructed to avoid arrests and defer criminal conduct to school administrators.
Students who engaged in violence, drug sales, robberies, burglaries, theft and other various crimes were intentionally kept out of the criminal justice system. County administrators and School Superintendents told local and county law enforcement officers to stop arresting students.
In 2012 Trayvon Martin was one of those students.
It is all well documented. None of this is supposition. Our research discovered sworn affidavits from the police department HERE. No-one was ever been held to account โ it was just too politically dangerous an issue.`
there's at least two good reasons for an institution to embrace such a framework, and neither are related to students welfare
legit winced at that
vegans get the bullet
People got fined or something for that in the past, right? Animal cruelty or something.
fuck basic animal biology
let's impose my beliefs on animals
She can go to Prison for that in the UK
It would take me one hour
in court
wouldn't send her to jail though
just ban her from ever owning an animal ever again
Wasn't the 'international women's day' tied up in socialist/communist history too, just to top it off?
or was that more of tangential thing
tangential
Women's day here was good
We talked about my Grandmother's my Mom my Wife
This is what I don't understand
They can call me sexist but I surround myself with women
It's 8 vs 1 sometimes
Was he a Sexist
I seem to recall feminists publishing articles on the days following his death, declaring him a horrible sexist.
Does that mean he was a sexist? Probably not. <:LUL:372856126007410689>
Probably not
If I were him, I'd have written on my will, "wait a week, split my fortune among the whores that didn't badmouth me during that week."
SPICEY
I've always wanted to know how Meghan can be so chill
I couldn't give any less fucks
