Some of those kids look 15; they'd be 78 today. Old, but many either recently left powerful positions or are still in them.

Exactly dude, exactly! This was stuff isn't ancient history, it's VERY recent and I find it really infuriating that there people of great power and influence today who were likely exactly like the katz in that picture. This sort of American history isn't that old and I wish people didn't try to create a narrative that segregation is some relic of the civil war era or something.
Yeah, The Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater both occur in 1964. 📦🐍
(For the record the only reason I have that knowledge off the top of my dome is because I have a print out of the MGS timeline on my nerd bookshelf. I used that print out for TTRPG writing sessions as well. Also I find the 60's cold war era to be a uniquely fascinating time as it's a confluence of so many interesting social and political movements. Most importantly of course, The Civil Rights era specifically due its influence on my life)
I think it's utterly maddening that shit was in 1960. It wasn't "the olden days" or "the before times" it was 1960. That's fours years before the events of Metal Gear Solid 3. This shit isn't that old.
(For the record, I think the black and white photography capturing racism is thematically and aesthetically on point)
This sort of thing should only be heard of in some sort of survival horror game lore item describing some fictional super experiment. It’s sickening that real life actual people have their humanity removed when they enter the thresher of the us criminal (in)justice system
“On the job” training these days is like a fuckin’ poorly designed game. It’s mostly fail at something they don’t explain to you properly and assuming you don’t die you kind of extrapolate from there. Yes, trial and error is a way to learn, but with any sort of technical skill or task (or even social behavior), it’s a lot easier and better when you are instructed or better yet paired with a teacher of some kind.
In my experience, having an experienced colleague is often the fast way a new hire can get up to speed, but that requires a job to prioritize workers in some meaningful way.
They are treat us all as individual node utterly unconnected to other nodes. they want you to learn on your time not theirs. Also I hate “upskill-ing” being totally outsourced but also is kinda mandatory these days. They all wonder why we all hate work, and never take a second to look at how work is done and more importantly HOW THEY made it worse
I never thought language being used as a weapon would be so literal. This is a grim injustice.
I still think it’s wild that republicans and democrats alike were bugging out how not paying student loans would ruin the economy. The Katz with least amount of spending power and influence are somehow responsible for fiscal ruination.
Nooooooo 😭! I meant experimented with.
The thing I find particularly vile about fines is that they are also totally used to justify cutting back employee spending. Benefits, perks, often it leads to straight-up termination. It’s really messed up these MEGACORPS not only can float through a fine and be made whole rather quickly, but always gives them that extra incentive to squeeze employees just a little bit more.
I know we live in an age of hyper rapid consumption, but I genuinely don’t know how Katz just blast through games. Especially games with any sort of depth or complexity. Maybe I’m just playing game slowly but I have never understood how people just rampage through games they have.
BG3 seems like one of those games that should just be savored and explored, exterminated with, and experienced in a deliberate fashion. It should stay on playlists and play time for a long time
Play the demo y'all.
