I quit working in a factory setting a couple years ago. It was definitely unsettling seeing dozens of pipes running all through the facility, and a few are labeled "Asbestos-Free".

That's "literally" not true. Some may be getting off easy, some are definitely doing years in prison.

What the fuck does he have to talk about? He's just an idiot with a gun.

Just read that in the x-post in another community. That all makes sense, and was missed opportunity.

I watched this again recently after finally reading the short-story it's based on. Even with the author writing the screenplay, it doesn't stand up to the original. It's a smaller story, but that brings the focus on these great characters, especially Molly (aka Jane from the movie). The movie really doesn't do her character justice. Her climactic fight scene at the end really stands out.

I'd encourage anybody to track down William Gibson's "Neuromancer" or "Burning Chrome" (the collection of stories Johnny Mnemonic comes from) if you haven't read them already.

Is this game any good? It looks janky as hell, but always catches my eye when I see it on sale.

"Let's financially cripple our country and build a giant virtue signal in the process!"

Not every game has to be made for everyone. If it's too hard, or you don't want to make the adjustments to learn the game, just skip it.

I've always been sympathetic toward Trans people, but cases like this really illustrate how shitty it can be to just exist while Trans in America.

With most "minorities" there are still so many of them in any given community that it's hard or pointless to single any one out for hate. But with a Trans person you can call them out by name because they rarely have anonymity within a local collective.

Like, this person was working a cool job, probably proud of themselves, helping kids and enjoying life. Now they're being called out by elected State officials and online random. Being called a pedo and a freak... I can't imagine what that does to a person.

Now let's find all the quotes from these people railing about "Cancel Culture".

They say the opposite (about systemic injustice) when arguing against corporate DEI, affirmative action, police and voting reforms etc...

It's crazy they try to make the point that white, middle-class America is the most persecuted segment of the poulation.

Out of state donations help out a lot of Democrats in red area too. The difference tends to be Republican candidates get mega-donors and corps from out of state, while Dems get lots of small donation from private citizens throughout the country.

The 2020 Senate races in Georgia, Kentucky and Texas come to mind. They had popular Dem candidates that were getting donations from all over because of the attention their races were getting.
