"In the last two years, Israel has bombed Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and now Iran. They have been occupying Palestine for 75+ years. They are luring starving Palestinian children to their concentration camp food aid depots so they can snipe them dead," Grzejszczak posted on Facebook on June 19.

"Any union or other organization that doesn't fight this is choosing to stay silent during genocide."

Speaking truth to power? Not on their watch. Also interesting they choose to attack a woman over this.

Getting fired over this is has to be illegal. If it isn't than we got some phone calls to make

Homefront businesses are a huge economic boon. Zoning them out of existence was a direct attack on the working class.

100% They'll recognize the regional boundary of Palestine and do fuck all for the Palestinian people.

I can't decide if I admire, resent, or relate to your pessimism right now.

Yay? Now can we stop selling those pieces of shit weapons to commit war crimes with?

some have interpreted that to mean cats see us as really strange kittens,

Not just the meowing. Bringing dead animals is also thought to be related to maternal instinct or some other social behaviour.

I do agree though that people are running with this stuff further than the science has verified.

That's my biggest gripe. Games being released in an unfinished state. I'd rather them be honest, call it an early release and charge accordingly.

My second biggest gripe rides off the back of the first... how the people who make and play games are exploited.

  • Devs getting worked to death and thrown under the bus for executive decisions.

  • Gamers' loyalty being taken advantage of including the declining value of Pre-orders.

Totally. As I said, I don't disparage well made games and enjoyed literally every title you listed except Persona (never played).

But like lets be real. AAA game industries have generally become bloated, increasingly prioritizing profit over product quality. Lots of exploitation of developers and gamers alike.

I'm not saying AAA can't produce good games.

Nothing against Glen, Dead Space, or any genuinely well made game... but the AAA industry needs to die.

Edit: The number of you misinterpreting this as "AAA games bad" is too damn high.

The GOP chair was caught off guard and scrambled—first delaying the vote, then trying to sabotage it by adding amendments to include Biden administration communications. Democrats called their bluff and agreed.

Then the GOP chair, Rep. Higgins, lied, claiming the motion FAILED until Rep. Robert Garcia forced a full roll call vote.

Ultimately, the vote passed 8-2 after 3 Republicans DEFIED their leadership and joined all 5 Democrats to pass the motion.
