I was raised entirely non-religiously, but I still still celebrate "cultural Christmas" since that's what we do in the UK. I don't go to midnight mass or watch Songs of Praise, but putting up the tree and having a big roast dinner is good times.

This seem to work on an assumption that people have a religion before becoming athiest/agnostic. I never did. My birth certificate says Church of England as that's the default here unless your parents ask for something else. However they never took me to church or raised me in a religious manner, I had an entirely secular upbringing so there's no elements of Religon to hang onto.

The BLM/KKK thing is a false equivilance, but his right to say that companies have the right to decide if employees can display political iconography on their uniform and most of them won't want it due to the hassle it will bring and also that it may indicate a corporate connection that isn't there.

Great, and each company is entitled to its own rules on those things. Whole foods have decided on theirs and their employees can lump it or go and get a job with the more progressive companies that do allow it.

They're not doing anything if the sort, that's hyperbolic nonsense. When you're paid to represent a company, you shouldn't be displaying items that link them to a course they're not corporately linked to. Once you leave at the end of the shift you can put all the political regalia you like back on.

Yeah, it just seems like common sense to me that you don't wear political regalia to work, and that's coming from the UK where our workers rights are a big stronger.

Like it or not, while you're on the clock, you're on the companies time and the only political stuff you should be promoting, if any, if causes they've aligned themselves too corporately.

She also had an awesome cameo in The Orville.

Ok, so why do so many of them fall over themselves to make excuses for Russia's current invasion of Ukraine?

Well yeah, and they're usually the ones getting called out for anti-Semitism, eg, Corbyns supporters in Momentum.

Because based on the amount of sales they've made and the combined player numbers between those and gamepass players, lots of people don't care.

I started gaming on an Amstrad in the late 80s, I've lived though multiple groundbreaking leaps in graphical quality since then and now and frankly, it doesn't impress me anymore, especially with how incremental it's become. I'm more impressed by the scale and world building of Starfield and how all its systems come together than how it's character models look.

One Dev have already pointed out that they have a Unity based game due next year they've already contracted to game pass, so that's 20 million odd subs who'll have access to try the game, where as they didn't negotiate with MS on the price knowing this clause was coming.

 

Farewell to a legend.
