  • I also enjoyed the quote from a man saying “you don’t see little girls playing with model planes” as proof that women genetically aren’t meant to be pilots in an article denying the industry has an inclusion problem that needs to be addressed.

    “We’ve noticed a lack of women becoming pilots so we created a DEI department to see if there might be some things we’re doing that is discouraging women from seeking this as a career”

    “Hiring women pilots!? How are women going to fly a plane!? They can’t even drive a car! We’re going to get more plane crashes if we hire women as pilots! They should just be a stewardess! And what happened to those short skirts they used to wear?”

    “…well good news is we figured out the problem in record time!”


  • Why on this overwhelmingly zealous communist site are people upvoting this bullheaded victim blaming free hand of the market put down of consumers?

    If you complain about Windows having ads, telemetry, and security concerns on this site, you will be told to install Linux. They’re not using a bullheaded victim blaming free hand of the market put down of consumers. They’re telling you there is an alternative that has what you want. You don’t need the government to regulate operating systems. You can just install any one of the many Linux distros.

    This is the exact same thing. Stop buying video games with anti-consumer DRM. Video games without these features already exist and are actually the norm. It really isn’t complicated.

    You’ve definitely been burnt by these practices at least once and learned better right? So why should we not lobby for change?

    Yes. I loved the Hitman series. It now has always online DRM. I haven’t bought a Hitman game since 2012. My life hasn’t been affected negatively in any way. I still have a huge library and backlog of other games without DRM. What would I lobby the government for? Remove DRM from Hitman? What a terribly insignificant thing to concern myself with. I have a backlog of other games to catch up on.
