"It isn’t very hard to see

Stop and think it over, pal

The guy sure looks like plant food to me."

Their cause is constantly in the news every time they do this, I’d say they’re doing a hell of a good job.

They aren’t ‘bringing awareness to climate change’ they’re saying ‘stop dissociating and pay attention to this’ and it’s working.

Have you considered you aren’t the target of the actions they’re taking?

Why’d you leave the keys upon the table?

It’s been called out multiple times by even left leaning sources like NPR and motherjones its so bad.

Ok, here’s Motherjones guide to mass shootings

Weapons: Of the 143 guns possessed by the killers, more than three quarters were obtained legally. They included dozens of assault weapons and semi-automatic handguns with high-capacity magazines. (See charts below.) Just as a perpetrator used a .40-caliber Glock to slaughter students in Red Lake, Minnesota, in 2005, so too did the one in Aurora, along with an AR-15 assault rifle, when blasting away at his victims in a darkened movie theater. In Newtown, Connecticut, the attacker wielded a .223 Bushmaster semi-automatic assault rifle as he massacred 20 school children and six adults.

Or here’s Pew Research:

About eight-in-ten U.S. murders in 2021 – 20,958 out of 26,031, or 81% – involved a firearm.

The overall increase in U.S. gun deaths since the beginning of the pandemic includes an especially stark rise in such fatalities among children and teens under the age of 18. Gun deaths among children and teens rose 50% in just two years, from 1,732 in 2019 to 2,590 in 2021.

The rate of children dying to firearms in the US is 6.01 per 100,000

The rate of children dying to firearms in Canada is 0.21 per 100,000

In 2023, 754 people died in mass shootings in the USA.

In Canada, there have been 171 deaths to mass shootings for all of the 21st century so far.

We would have had to lose 83 people per year to shootings to keep up with you for 2023. We lost 11.

You have a higher chance of getting killed by bees or lightning than dying from a “mass shooting”

(Lightning is at the bottom right there.)

The chance of dying from gun violence overall is about 50% greater than the lifetime risk of dying while riding inside a car, truck, or van (a category that excludes pedestrian, cyclist, and other deaths outside of a motor vehicle). It’s also more than 10 times as high as dying from any force of nature, such as a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, flood, or lightning strike.

“Old lamps for new! Old lamps for new!”

Sacrifice. I am so sad it didn’t have a bigger impact than it did. What an amazing game.

Till they stop making money off skin/etc sales.

I started working in games around 2006, and up until the mid 2010’s it was a regular occurrence for designers to use NWN modules as their resumes.

I think bg3 would do even better for people, very excited.

Anyone else remember when “flatscreen” was the cool marketing hype for monitors/TVs?

We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these colour TV’s.

I’m not for tipping culture, but realistically they’re usually doing better than people making minimum wage without tips.

Here in Canada they get minimum wage plus tips. So… yeah, wow.

I guess Americans are ok with subsidizing employee wages on behalf of companies.

Wow, that’s…

The minimum wage in my province (British Columbia) is $CDN 17.40 (that would be 12.65 in USD)

It really is a dystopia down there.

(I’m not American so I have no idea what their prices are, but understood).

Does that say the new total is 3/hr?

I just want to quickly add it isn’t just “young people”, it’s young men. Women are still heavily left but 20-something men want to give the 1930s a try again.

I was in the industry for just shy of 20 years, and it hit me seeing that list just how many studios are missing from it.

It was nice though to see New Blood do this, and I honestly don’t expect them to run one with all of the studios because frankly that would take hours to show.

I don’t think I’ll ever go back to games, but know that the people who make games: QA, design, art, etc, are leaving in droves, which is for the best. Microsoft is struggling to hire people in Vancouver. Why? They’ve lowered pay for many positions, fired almost anyone with over 2 years of experience there, and hire part time. A friend of mine was offered a Lead position… For 14 months.

If they don’t believe in the games they’re making, neither should you.

Wow, imagine where we’d be if Oil and Gas hadn’t convinced almost everyone that solar was never going to work well.

Tough natives is redundant.
