So I worked for a rather large well known IT company for 5 years... Got laid off past Monday. Based on my contract If I quit the company had to pay 5 days salary for each year I worked there. If I was laid off the company had to pay me 1 month salary after taxes for each year I worked there.

However They wanted for me to quit voluntarily for my severance to be 5,000 instead of 30,000. after negotiating with my lawyer they offered me 22,500 or 75% if I drop the lawsuit. If I decide to pursue the lawsuit it may take up to 18 months to 2 years for them to pay me based on previous similar cases AND there is a chance they may win the lawsuit and I will get nothing.....should I accept the 22,500 dollars or go for the 30,000?

I do not have any debts at the moment but not that many savings either, my wife earns enough for us to live 'just ok'....

This is not the kind of stuff I usually port here but advice will be appreciated....being unemployed is really depressing specially if you lost your dream job

I graduated from college in 2008. Forked in programing from mid 2007 to early late 2008. then I lost my job due to the economy and got a stable job on networking in 2010. However the company is merging and there may me some job cuts early next year.

There are a lot more programing jobs in my area. but I have not worked in programing since 2008....is it too late to ever go back to it? or would going to a bootcamp and getting some certifications help?

What happened since then? I see a lot more of criticism to games and gamers coming from the left since then.

Who and what sites are you talking about? Not that I ever had a huge pool of websites I drew gaming news/editorial from but I used to go to Destructoid and then Polygon and I've always liked GiantBomb (mostly for Jeff and the GiantBombcast specifically). People constantly rail on Polygon and Kotaku for being SJW, Anthony Burch and Jim Sterling (they were the big names when I was following Destructoid) are both extremely leftist and always have been and GiantBomb is largely apolitical but mostly in line with liberal positions when politics comes up directly. I consider Waypoint to be a GiantBomb offshoot and now that they've fully found their political voice I can barely tolerate listening to their podcast and am not sure why I still do other than from habit and desire for content.

Ian Miles Chong is the only right-wing games personality I can name and I've never read anything he's done other than some screengrabbed tweets. Milo doesn't count since he just goes wherever he can cause a ruckus. He would honestly write about knitting if he thought he could cause a huge shitstorm doing it.

Edit: Did you mean "mainstream criticism of games" and not "games critics"? Seems like I might've misunderstood what you were talking about exactly.

I meant mainstream news outlets like fox news, NBC etc....up to 4 years ago almost all attacks were coming from right leaning sites...you know because games were a new medium and conservatives hate new stuff...but all of a suden attacks from the right went down and left leaning sites began to attack gamers.

On the right of what?

almost all criticism to videogames 3 or 4 years ago and before was from the right...blaming videogames for mass shootings, for 'wasting time' for being sex simulators ...a few years ago all criticism to games was from conservatives, from the right such as this
Also remember jack Thomson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Thompson_(activist)

Then around 3 to 4 years ago criticism began to come from the left rather than the right... what happened?

I don't mind a black April because she was never really defined by her race. Hell, the source material comics are black and white, and her hair in them was black (not red), so I could definitely see her being black.

But making Ralph the leader? That is just stupid. The whole point of making Leo the leader is he is the rational one who can focus the team on that task at hand (I.E., a good leader). Ralph was a hothead who was impulsive and constantly did things on his own (I.E., a horrible leader). That is like the one thing that has carried into every iteration of TMNT (even the really bad movies).

Exactly.... making the strongest guy the leader is just too cliche at this point and it wa something the TMNT did great by having the most rational one be the leader instead of the hothead who trans more than the rest

WTF are thing thinking!...as a fan of the TMNT since the 80s this pissed me off....it feels they just want to change things for the same of changing them...

What made the relationship of Leo and Raph great was that Raph was always the strongest turtle. But Leo was the Leader while being the second stronger because he was a better leader, he was more wise, calm and could control his emotions much better than Raphael did...By making the strongest turtle the elader it will fall into the same cliche of most tv shows where the stronger guy is the leader..it will lose it's uniqueness

I think nationalism is fantastic because it keeps people focused on co-operation and competition at the same time. More important issues like trade remain at the forefront of the discussion, rather than "correct pronoun" bullshit, etc., because homogeny makes everyone soft and complacent.

nationalism is what caused world war 1 and 2. a progresive globalism is a much better alternative. slowli walking trough a one world government. aiming for a borderless world in between 2300 and 2400 once almost all third world countries have become developed nationsa

Yeah, and it will be much easier for a tyrant to assume control over all of humanity that way.

Don't confuse videogames with reality.

I don't. People can get greedy. It's a human nature.

you dont know how modern government works right...

president
senate
congress
supreme court

its pretty much the same in all modern democracies. not its basically impossible for an all powerful tyrant to raise in a modern democracy

I don't think the explosion of min wage labor jobs and death of household sustaining jobs is really an equal trade.

that is because of infration of food and housing...

even on jobs that cannotr be outsourced people were able to pay for a house back then, yet if you notice thre has been a trade off

back then buying a house was easy, but very few people had more than one care or more than one tv now its the other way around

Because in my experience Chinese made stuff is usually cheap crap while the American made stuff lasts forever.

I have a set of American made wrenches that my grandfather bought when he started working in construction in the 60's that still work great to this day, while the Chinese adjustable wrench I bought less then a year ago broke when I was trying to disconnect my sink from the wall. I am willing to spend extra if I know I won't have to make the purchase again in the near future.

then you buy american, japanese or german stuff if you want quality that is how it works

Because unemployment means that the unemployed workers will need food stamps and housing subsidies which increases the debt or means more taxes. Also the unemployed workers will spend less meaning small business's or local business's will sell less.

Read number 5

5) Actually ..... Unemployment is even lower today than in the 80s and 70s in 2016 was 4.9% while it was 7.0% in 1986 and 7.7 %in 1976 before we got the largest trade deals and china began to send more stuff......so in the end free trade actually created more employment and whoever denies it is just a coocko tinfoil hat believer of the globalist elite conspiracy theory . https://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet

I recommend you to rotate your meds every 3 mods to diminish tolerance make user to use meds that use different mechanisms of action. I developed tolerance to Ritalin and my old doctor just keep increasing the dossage untill he told me to take 1 month med vacation cold turkey....my current doctor prescribed modafinil to me in the off months:

This is how my creatment works:

3 months of Ritalin on week days
3 months of Modafinil in week days
Coffee on weekends

Coffee is actually pretty good but the problem is that tolerance is developed too quickly all people who consume cofee daily have built a high level of tolerance, so discontinue cofee when you take your meds so you can use it in your off days

1) specially since I can get stuff much cheaper if made by chinese factory workers?

2) Thanks to them, clothing, simple tools and electronics have basically stayed the same price since the mid 90s while food and housing have gone trough the roof!

3) Also why would I want chinese workers to loose their jobs so people from my country get hired instead?...that is if companies don't decide to just use robots instead..... why would I care for people I do not know in my country more than people that I do not know in another country?

4) Specially since protectionism is like Communism it always fails it has never been implemented successfully anywhere Look at brazil or ...look at Argentina it was the 7th richest country in the world early to mid 20th century and protectionism ruined their economy..argentinians fly here to buy stuff since it's to expensive down there due to tarifs...if we get tarifs then it will be americans flying to argentina itself.

5) Actually ..... Unemployment is even lower today than in the 80s and 70s in 2016 was 4.9% while it was 7.0% in 1986 and 7.7 %in 1976 before we got the largest trade deals and china began to send more stuff......so in the end free trade actually created more employment and whoever denies it is just a coocko tinfoil hat believer of the globalist elite conspiracy theory . https://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet

As someone evenly invested in all of them.

PC fanboys are the most elitist and cult-like.

Sony ponies come in second, and have an almost Apple-like sense of self-supremacy

Nintendo peoples are chill until you get to the FE, Earthbound and Smash fanbase

Microsoft's camp is by far the most cool and mentally stable.

You're definitely onto something with the notion PC gamers want to convert others over. I'm not even gonna act like I've been above that. For every person talking about high initial cost, I'm getting steamdb.info/sales in their bookmarks and preaching the word about just how much they save, just how more control they have, and how there's not the constant battle of "[x] architecture is different, so [y] game from your history isn't supported" ...I can still play all my Dark Forces: Jedi Knight from 20 years ago. I will say that 30-year old me isn't as dismissive of console gaming as 18-year old me. I'm kinda tired of the constant war between chat clients and all these different storefronts... no longer a fan of dedicating the first 5-15 minutes of a new game being tweaking the settings to my liking... and sorta feeling the simplicity and ease of use of consoles now. I've batted around the thought of selling my gaming PC when the Xbox One X drops.

100% agree with you

He is a white jewish man who married his black husband in hawaii...yet he just told Australians to vote no on gay marriage....

I think that he don't really beleives or support half the stuff he says but he is already making good money out of it so he doesn't want to stop doing what he does because he actually thinks gay marriage will never be actually removed.

A person who is against gay rights will not marry another man... a racist white person will not marry a black person...

I think he is just getting paid a lot even though he doens't really beleivs half of what he says

Fanboys of the 3 console platforms basically just say the other ones suck...yet PC fanboys act like a cult...they go out of their way trying to convince people to move to pc gaming..even of gaming site threads that are not about PC they all go to post about PC gaming, they also create lots of Youtube channels and websites for the propose of trying to convert people from other platforms.

Youtubers are one example if we have a Nintendo Youtuber like Arlo or a Sony youtuber there are all about discusing games for their platform and rarely mention the other 3 yet PC youtubers videos are 80% about attacking consoles...

The first of them was a guy in middle school he was large and bullied the nerds who looked like typical nerd stereotypes. Since they were very chill I defended them from the guy and beat him up. we were suspended and their parents wanted to press charges, the cops were unconvinced and even laughed at him since I was considerably shorter than him. He acused me of using steroids since I was very strong for my size and very ripped for that age....

2 years latter an even larger bully came out so I defended the original bully from him... this guy almost beat me up since he was huge but I was able to get him crying by chocke holding him...by the second time I beat him up he gave up and started ignoring me. Half a year latter we became friends because both liked Dragonball Z

I went to middle school and high school in the 90s, back then geek and nerd kids were bullied, have always loved geek stuff, but since my dad and paternal grandfather and grandmother were bodybuilders and my mom and my maternal grandfather competed in Taekwond when younger I have always been very fit and very strong for my age since basically being a toodler I have been in sports.

For that reason I defended the other weaker week kids from the bullies, for some reason however I keep becoming friends whit the kids I beat up. 3 of my closest friends today are guys who I beat up as a kid while I defended they kids they bullied, in the end they also became friends whit the kids they used to bully
