Mr_Karate_II 06/27/23 3:36:33 AM #16:	Anyway, I hope the acquisition gets blocked because fuck Microsoft. I say this as someone who owns an Xbox One and Xbox 360. Their support is generally fucking useless especially when it comes to the Microsoft rewards program or trying to refund a game that doesn't work as intended. Only ever asked for a refund two times in 10 years and they wanted to try and deny the 2nd refund request despite only playing the game for an hour total. I don't want to see them fuck up Call of Duty or anything else. --- Michigan Wolverines 45 to Ohio state 23: 11/26/22 I Acknowledge The Usos <cite>Mr_Karate_II posted [p:974451659] in A bunch of...

Longbottom 06/27/23 9:26:16 AM #25:	When I used to work with Google as an outsourced vendor I had to go through training that all Google employees (including outsourced non-employees like me) had to undertake about avoiding any behaviour/language that could be used to accuse Google of trying to form a monopoly in any market. It stressed in particular that even in internal emails, documents and presentations we must avoid using any phrases that referred to harming the competition in case they were ever subpoenaed and used in a lawsuit. Instead of saying stuff like "make Google #1 in the ___ market" we were instructed to say stuff like "help Google grow and provide leading value in the ____ market". idk fam seeing these documents that were supposed to be for internal use only and how they use a lot of the same 'anti-monopoly' language that Google employees are trained to use reminded me of that training and I wanted to share. --- "Your topic got deleted and your on an alt account because your on warned.
