    Can't tell if the kid is male or female.

    How dare you! Its clearly one of the other 33 genders you insensitive prick!

  4. The problem is that they thought most people actually think at all. All evidence seems to be to the contrary.

    Weird. What horrible politics and dogma are you running into?

    I agree that seeing X-Men episode 27 or Star Wars prequel 12 doesn't do it for me.

    Its not even that the politics and dogmatic crap is there. Its that its there in EVERY SINGLE MOVIE and is so blatant that its laughable. Not really interested in the specifics, it's just a general hatred for overt agendas in movies. Shit I grew up in CA, 90% of my friends are Democrats/Liberals. I have no issue with that, it's the extremism and onesidedness that irks me. The echo chamber is breathtaking.4

  11. Speaking just for me on Hollywood's Bad Summer Movies Are Driving a Decline in Movie Ticket Sales (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I simply can't divorce Hollywood from it's politics. I can't just go and enjoy a movie anymore. They insist on injecting their dogmas on to me. Before the movie I see nothing but politics from the actors, telling me how awful a person I am. During the movie it's an endless barrage of extremism masked as social justice.

    Making things worse, they want me to "enjoy" this in a shitty movie theater surrounded by loud people that can't put their cellphones away. All for the low low price of 15 bucks a person not including the 25 bucks in terrible food.

    Pretty rare these days too that a movie isn't a sequel or prequel or sidequel in some "franchise" that sucked from the start but brought in a lot of teenagers so the stiffs in suits thought it would make sense to throw billions of dollars at it.

    I jokingly said to my wife the other night that there wasn't even anything I wanted to pirate anymore, it's just gotten that bad.

  13. Re:Why are tech industries different? on Blizzard Starts Drive To Recruit More Women and Ethnic Minorities (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Why are tech industries different than other industries? You don't see construction companies falling over themselves to try to hire more women. You don't see the healthcare and education sectors launching initiatives to recruit more men. Why is the tech industry unique in this endeavour?

  14. Can anyone name a benefit to diversity that's anything close to compensation for all the bullshit we've had to endure achieving it?

    The root of the word "diversity" is "divide". The goal of these programs is not to appeal to people or broaden demographics or provide better products. It's to divide what they call the "status quo" in which one group of people is made the villain (white men) and the other group(s) are made the victims.

    All these programs do is pit one group of people against another. They fail in their basic concept and thus, always fail in their execution. In the end, Blizzard loses. I give it maybe 5 years and the layoffs will begin.

    Simply put, in this day and age, the only way to win under these circumstances is to not play the game.

    Wasn't the time to try and negotiate fees and terms BEFORE you Clicked "Accept"?

    This won't survive Summary Judgment (if such a doctrine, or similar, exists in the Chinese Tort-Claims system).

    No. I work with China all the time. They way it works in China is first you sign the contract. Then you negotiate. I am not joking either.

    40 years of liberal hollywierd brainwashing has done it's job. There is literally nothing you can say to these people to wake them up. Its cult like. You hit them with some logic and common sense and they immediately yell out the mansplaining and fascist insults. Literally a cult in every sense of the word. I don't even try anymore, I just mock them like I would any other cult. Fuck'em.
