Fuck traitor flag sympathizer feelings

I barely pay attention to the media I watch to begin with.

Asking me to forcibly watch a full ad to watch content I'm not going even going to pay that much attention to is enough to get me to just never consume media.

I'd think the site will be dead long in 50 years.

If you asked in 2002 if gamefaqs would still be around in 2022, most would probably say no and that they'd have moved on

They restrict larger dogs because larger dogs are more likely to destroy the apartment. The complex doesn't give a fuck about how much noise the animals make.

Little demon spawn dogs can fuck up as much or more shit than a big, chill mother fucker.

Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit logic

Never smoked, cigs or vape, despite how prevalent it is in my profession

And marijuana is still illegal at a federal level so I don't smoke that either

https://www.fastcompany.com/90720653/after-20-years-the-u-s-army-is-shutting-down-its-recruitment-video-game-americas-army

Twenty years ago, the U.S. Army tried something that was revolutionary at the time.

In the early 2000s, video games were a political hot potato. Some elected officials were pointing to them as corruptive forces on the youth of America and an industry that was in dire need of regulation. Then, a few years later, the Hot Coffee mod for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (which let two characters in the game have animated sexual intercourse) found its way out into the wild and all hell truly broke loose. The cries for regulation eventually led to a Supreme Court case, which confirmed the video game industry was covered by the First Amendment, just like books and movies.
Amid all of this, the U.S. Army released Americas Army, a video game meant as a recruitment tool. The free-to-play tactical shooter was wildly successful, reaching 20 million players. But come May 5, the servers will be shut downand Americas Army will surrender to the forces of time.
While it might be facing a very honorable discharge, Americas Army was an idea that was ahead of its time in a lot of ways. And it blazed a trail for a new type of recruiting thats still being used today.
Video games have become a prime tool for a variety of industries to find workers. Game developers often cherry-pick talented players who have created mods or especially popular mini games on Roblox or other user-generated content-heavy titles. But even fields as complex as air traffic control are leaning into the gaming world.
Last year, the Federal Aviation Administration launched a hiring campaign with the goal of finding 4,300 air traffic controllers over the next five years, with a specific focus on gamers.
Games like Call of Duty, youve got to be aware of your surroundings, the agency said in a promotional video. Were looking at our radar screens, so we need to see out of the corner of our eye when another planes coming or just the minor little details.
(The pays a good bit better for a controller versus a soldier, too. A private in the U.S. Army makes between $22,000 and $26,000 per year. The median salary for an air traffic controller in 2021 was $138,556.)
With the pandemic greatly diminishing the number of outbound recruiting drives, more companies are eyeing games as a way to screen candidates. Banking and asset-management companies are leaning more heavily into things like stock-picking contests and other games that act as tests in disguise.
To date, no industry has embraced games as warmly as the military, though. Americas Army, for example, started with an initial budget of $7 million of your tax dollars at playand quickly grew from there. Recognizing that players know a quality title when they see one (and ignore and ridicule poor-quality efforts), it assembled a team of proven developers and bought a license for the Unreal Engine, which was (and remains) one of the premier game engines on the market.
Americas Army was only supposed to be a seven-year project, but its success encouraged the Defense Department to stay with the game, with the Pentagon spending more than $3 million a year to evolve and promote ita drop in the bucket compared to the overall $8 billion recruiting budget.
How well did it work? A 2008 study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that 30% of all Americans ages 16 to 24 had a more positive impression of the Army because of the game and, even more amazingly, the game had more impact on recruits than all other forms of Army advertising combined.
The end of Americas Army is hardly the end of the militarys use of games as recruiting tools. The Army has its own Twitch channel (with more than 23,000 followers) and has an e-sports team that competes at tournamentswith recruiters in tow.

I actually played this for all of, like, an hour once.

It had no effect on my decision to join though lol

Wait, being against the Iraq war a minority opinion at some point? Seemed like everyone hated it back in the day.

Media opinions vs populace opinions.

Media loved the war, got them ratings hand over foot.

Stewart isn't exactly wrong here but he didn't deliver his point in the best/most poignant way either.

You should be skeptical of people who want to dictate (exactly) what you can and cannot say about a(ny) subject. If the MSM had been sufficiently motivated enough, they probably could have turned Stewart into persona non grata over his opposition to the Iraq War.

Stewart is just saying we should exercise caution here.

Having had a bit of experience with the township of Mountain Brook, I am not at all surprised their primary concern would be not looking bad.

Fuck and you, wsj

Not writing the measurement for a bolt on top of the bolt so you're not guesstimating bolt sizes and stripping bolt tops

First off if they're going to be your daily walkers, then you want shoes that have good tread but more importantly good arch support. Some stores you go to (usually those focused on athletics or running) can actually measure your feet and tell you what kind of shoe/arch is good for you.

You don't want to cheap out on shoes, your body will hate you later. Proper shoes can literally change your life and do wonders for leg/hip issues.

Never learned.

If the difference between legitimate political discourse and non is the location, then it's a fair enough inference because cops were being attacked outside the building

You're done for the day and have gone home.

Then a coworker who has your number hits you up asking if X got done, in relation to something regarding them.

Would you be annoyed/bothered/mad?

They say their children are more at risk at school than in the cold because they're forced to wear masks that obstruct their breathing and will no longer take it anymore and that this was more important than their education

If a mask obstructs your breathing in any meaningful way when you're sedentary in a building, you have more goddamned problems than a simple fucking mask

I know somebody who slipped on ice in a building's parking lot. She got a concussion and missed 2 weeks of work. The building's insurance company refused to pay for anything saying it's an "act of God." Lawyers pretty much told her she had no case. So good luck to that guy.

I mean, if they paid it'd set a weird precedent.

Because how would you weed out a legitimate greviance where management was being lazy and not taking proper measures to remove ice (in a fair but timely manner) vs someone intentionally seeing ice and purposefully carelessly walking across (back and forth) to fall?

What's the difference between solo account and main account?

Solo account would be you think the user only has the one account, no alts

A main account would be you think the user has alts but is currently on their main

Solo account for post 15
