| BlAcK TuRtLe 06/13/22 3:47:59 PM #26 | The block feature is bad because it just promotes additional "echo chamberification" of the internet. People who use the feature can't handle their ideas or viewpoints being challenged, and would much rather make a "safe space" where they can sit unchallenged and ignorant of the world around them. If you look at any group on the internet with nonsensical beliefs, they all share this in common. --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade. Wear this title with pride! |

Companies are seeing the writing on the wall and bailing.There's a subset of the "progressive" left that absolutely hates hydroelectricity and nuclear power, despite them being the cheapest, easiest and most reliable solution to eliminating fossil fuels, so this absolutely tracks. What I personally can't wait for is in 5-7 years when people realize that electric vehicles may be great at reducing carbon emissions, we're going to have a massive issue with safe disposal of spent EV batteries that's likely to cause serious harm in a lot of areas. Now any sane person would understand that carbon emissions are the more pressing issue, but inevitably there will be people with no critical thinking skills that will be up in arms about it. It's a major problem with politics, where bad faith actors will always "let perfect be the enemy of good enough". Gun control being another fantastic example of this --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade. Wear this title with pride! |

The funny thing is not only have the changes been enormously well received and numbers have gone up (also while Jeff had higher stream numbers more people have watched the GB archive and that doesnt even include site views), they are going back to games now and it seems that is part of Jeff leaving as well. Also it is clearly against Jeffs wishes to have ill will against the current Giant Bomb folks. He has a lot of disdain for toxic people like you and has voiced it many times.Apparently it's "toxic" to dislike a soulless media company that is more interested in bringing in "influencers" to talk about pretty much everything but video games, while at the same time completely disrespecting their staff and the original core audience. Blows my mind that anyone would stick up for Red Vultures and their crew of corporate shills trying to make a quick buck before they inevitably shutter the site and sell off any remaining assets. --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade.

| BlAcK TuRtLe 06/10/22 1:44:53 PM #5 | I still can't believe Red Vultures railroaded Jeff like that. I can understand creative differences as they clearly want to run a website that has nothing to do with video games, but at least give the man who founded the site and ran it for 14 years a proper send off. I haven't listened to the Bombcast in at least 4 months (basically around the time Danny stopped appearing), but I checked out this week's episode to see how bad it has gotten, and I don't think there has been a bigger fall from grace than what we saw over the last year. On the plus side, Jeff's solo podcast was a banger, and it was great to be able to listen to Jeff talk without voidburger cutting him off constantly. It also tickled me that during the Keigh-3 stream yesterday, Waypoint was sitting around 800 viewers, Nextlander and Giant Bomb around 3000, and Jeff's solo stream was around 6200. Jeff was the heart and soul of Giant Bomb, and I give the shambling husk that is that website maybe another year before it gets shuttered. Hopefully someone manages to archive all the old VODs before that happens. --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade. Wear this title with pride! |

| BlAcK TuRtLe 05/27/22 4:18:35 PM #53 | Well, I think that the issue is less about doctors aborting a 9 month old fetus and more someone taking it upon themselves. Most abortion restrictions have provisions for those deemed medically necessary already, so it makes absolute sense to codify that into law, and making it a law takes ambiguity and "personal beliefs" out of the equation. You still see the occasional sicko out there saying abortion should be legal right up until the moment the baby comes out, which is just as monstrous as saying abortion should be completely banned. --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade.

The Canadian Supreme Court finds life without parole to be cruel and unconstitutional. Excellent! Yet another in a long line of Trudeau neutering our criminal justice system. Their Bill C-75 caused a massive spike in theft/assault/robbery etc because they basically replaced the bail process with "promise to appear" for their court date for pretty much everything except murder. So now when some crackhead breaks into your shed and gets caught, they are back in the streets within hours as long as they pinky swear to show up for their court date. It's made it impossible for police to keep shitheads off the street. Getting rid of life without parole closes the loop and basically makes it so that none of our laws have any real consequences. I don't know what the Liberals are thinking, or how they can be confronted with the hard facts and statistics yet still continue down this path, but here we are. It's crazy how your choices on where to live is either a shithole where meth addicted criminals can act freely without fear of repercussion, or theocratic hellhole where everyone has assault rifles and schools are regularly shot at. It's crazy how one "side" of politics spends all of their energy making criminals/drug addicts/homeless people feel better at the expense of everyone else, while the other "side" is focussed on lining the pockets of the rich at the expense of everyone else. Is it too much to ask for taxation on the rich, and using those funds to clean up the streets and throw all these career criminals that add nothing to society in jail to rot? --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade.

| BlAcK TuRtLe 05/26/22 2:15:48 PM #498 | Re: the door Given the brain rot in the US resulting in all these school shootings, it makes sense that the door is difficult to breach, as it was likely that way by design (to prevent an active shooter from breaking into a room). And in a way it still served it's function since he was barricaded in a single room and the death toll may have been higher without it (sad as it is to say). As for the cops, I can kinda see the logic in waiting for tactical teams to show up, but I don't think if I was in that position I could live with myself if I didn't do everything in my power to stop the shooter. Then again, 95% of the gun fetish enjoying American public are prefectly fine with the status quo as long as it doesn't "infringe on their rights", so I guess we should just get used to seeing stories like this as they somehow become even more common than they already were. --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade.

They might even aid the right-wing in their efforts, because the police are very much on their side.

On top of that, you don't usually just "get into" those roles off the start. Typically you would start as a general sysadmin before specializing into cloud, and you would need either an admin or networking background before getting into infosec.

| BlAcK TuRtLe 05/24/22 8:46:47 PM #402 | The gun problem in the USA runs far deeper than any lobbying group. It's a cultural issue. As long as large parts of the country (and this includes both "red" and "blue" states) base their cultural identity on owning as many guns as they can just because they can, this issue will never go away. To fight the gun problem, you need to take it head on, similar to how Australia handled their gun culture after the Port Arthur massacre. Forcibly take guns out of everyone's hands and destroy them en masse.

| BlAcK TuRtLe 05/23/22 10:36:52 PM #97 | azuarc posted... TLJ was awful mostly because it takes everything that was in TFA, curls it up in a ball and throws it away. Then it proceeds to make a Star Wars movie out of a slow-moving car chase, while our Mary Sue-ish protagonist is off on her own doing things that neither help nor hurt her case, but are definitely not progressing her story. It takes the entirety of the rebellion and reduces it to "these people on three ships," which seems statistically implausible and makes us wonder just what the hell happened between the OT and ep 7 to wind up here. It was unsatisfying in almost every meaningful way, took existing characters in unexpected directions simply for the sake of being unexpected and reductive (Hux, Phasma, OT characters), and contains Adam Driver.I would say that TFA set TLJ up for failure, and there's very little they could have done to save the sequels at that point. In terms of watchability, TFA > TLJ >>>>> ROS, but TFA is the movie that started the downward trajectory of Star Wars as a whole, and I cannot forgive it for that. Remember, TFA was the first real entry into the "new canon", which threw away decades of fleshed out story lines and characters for the absolute shit fest we received in return.

And 95% of them are employed.I'd like to see a source for that that also includes the number of people that sign up for a Philosophy program and drop out after the first year --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade.

I don't have anything against philosophy as a subject, just the people that thought it was a sound financial decision to take out loans to get a Philosphy degree that are now asking everyone else to pay it off for them. You could substitute any number of other degrees that have zero job prospect. --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade. Wear this title with pride! |

Anyone who thinks this is a good idea clearly has NO concept how how society, economics or the job market work. People who went and got a loan they couldn't pay back, for a degree that doesn't translate into any real world use deserve a bailout just as much as the minimum wage worker that took out a high interest loan to buy a "sick truck bruh". This isn't society's problem, this is an individual's problem resulting directly from their poor decisions. --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade. Wear this title with pride! |

Also "getting into IT" is such a broad statement, do you want to get into programming, , help desk, network administration, systems admin, cloud administration, project management, etc. --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade.
