  • Man I love it when people glaze objectively bad companies just because it’s popular opinion to like them.

    Remember steam started the business model of not actually owning your games.

    Gabe has made billions by stealing profit from the workers that actually make games.

    They had to be sued just to offer refunds.

    They host tons of malware and shovelware and outright scam games and even protect them from “”““review bombing””"

    They pushed “early access” into the mainstream.

    And because of people like you that would literally suck Gabes dick for the meme, they get away with it.




  • I’ve really started to hate this narrative around this.

    These are primarily power companies. So it’s not like if we got rid of these CEOs anything will change. It’s not like those companies can just decide to stop generating power. If they did, that would just leave space a for a different company to come along and do the exact same thing.

    The change needs to come from government regulation and investment in green energy. And to a much lesser extent change in individual and smaller corporate behaviours. Reduce amounts of energy we use where we can, stop consuming useless disposable shit we don’t need that uses energy to be manufactured and also needs to be shipped, etc.

    And the government won’t change anything unless people organise and protest and vote for Green parties.

    I’m a woman (a trans one if that matters to you) and have experienced sexual assault and domestic violence from both men and women.

    I know the point that people are trying to make with the whole bear thing.

    But I think the friction comes from women talk about this as a theoretical to make a point, where men are thinking more literally.

    And I do belive that no one in there right mind, if actually given this option in real life, would pick a bear (unless maybe it was definitely one of the more harmless species).

    Each and every one of us, even those of us that have survived SA, have had countless uneventful interactions with men you don’t know. Even when it’s just one on one. And its mostly normal biases that makes us remember the shitty ones more. And something a lot of people forget is that the vast majority of SA victims already know their assailant, so the idea of a rando assaulting you is even less likely. So yes I would much rather be in the woods with a man, than a wild fucking animal. And if you’re a reasonable person, then you would too.
