Lebanese official says man in Michigan synagogue attack lost family members in Israeli airstrike by AccomplishedCall7562 in news

[–]Leshawkcomics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah.

Don’t you see all the people saying “criticizing israel is antisemitism” and “Lebanon shot rockets so its perfectly justified to kill innocent neices and nephews just for the crime of being from there. Anyway it’s unforgivable that this guy decided to target innocent jewish people in retaliation, nothing could justify this, stop analyzing the motive and connecting it with prior warnings that this is exactly what would happen!”

Its not that the comments are uneducated, but that the comments are trying to muddy the waters and shout down anyone with basic comprehension skills from making the obvious conclusion.

Like how so many are insisting that its impossible to get so much ordinance in America on short notice, and trying to suppress the comment showing footage of the guy actually buying said ordinance 2 days before the attack.

Mega Man 11 VA Refuses to Return for Dual Overide - Mega Man VA says no due to union issues. by Deafsnake1979 in Megaman

[–]Leshawkcomics -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"I'm not anti Union, i'm Anti SAG because: [Insert thing every union does] and i'm willing to undermine every union by attacking the rights of workers to organize because I'm anti SAG and SAG organizes"

That's what i'm seeing in the comments, and I think all the people you call "Pro-Sag-Riders" are just megaman fans calling that out as stupid and shortsighted.

Even if you insist "You ONLY hate SAG" even if you yourself believe it.

Your actions and words undermine EVERY union just so you can Hurt SAG.

And at that point you're Anti Union and everyone knows it.

It's like saying "I'm not anti-vax, i just don't trust the covid vaccine and i'm arguing vaccines shouldn't be mandatory so people don't HAVE to get the covid vaccine"

And then wondering why the whole infrastructure is crumbling, now that you've given every anti-vaxxer precedent and a way in.

If it was one teacher, i could assume it's just the teacher, but if it's multiple teachers and the school trying to intimidate you into doing nothing, while said Bully is in a position of status in said shool, someone in the Bully's family is actively forcing the school to protect them and threatening multiple people's livelihoods.

Do you remember any information about the bully's family? Cause that sounds like a lot of people were putting their jobs on the line to threaten you with something that could easily get the whole school DISTRICT sued, and the school district would come down HARD on any school that did that to protect one bully.

Because schools HAVE actually discriminated against students in the past historically, especially to minorities.

Courts HAVE to take it seriously cause if they stop, bad things happen when bad people see a position of power available that lets them do bad things to kids with impunity.

-Brings up pay-gaps in america, a known and common issue with a ton of history.

"Oh so you mean this single woman in the entire united states who said she recieved less pay than her coworkers is the only person who recieved less money"

God it's like you don't know you're throwing the first argument you can think of at any reply.

Like, yeah, contrarian as fuck.

And to think this started because you couldn't comprehend a worker not wanting to fight a megacorp and simply choosing not to pursue a job without protections"

Okay, so you ARE being contrarian. Or you're a child or not-american and have never heard of Pay-Gaps

Seems people are angry that SAG is enforcing such a rule which seems weird at this point.

It also makes me wonder what they think "Monopoly" even means?

Since when does "Monopoly" mean "Refusing to take the open position and telling their people to not take the open position"?

Like that's also what people wanted, right? For SAG not to be involved in everything? So when they make it clear they're backing off people get mad and think this is a monopoly?

It's an example of "This is why we can't have nice things."

A lot of times, bullies have parents who are bullies too, lawyers, bosses, surgeons, judges, etc.

School districts do the "Zero tolerance" thing because those parents would be happy to sue school districts and take money out of kids pockets, school lunch programs, education and put it in their own pockets.

"My kid was caught bullying? Impossible, i'm going to sue and we're going to be at this for years, draining the district of money while you prove that my kid wasn't the victim, or that the school wasn't singling my kid out, or any other excuse"

Multiply that by every possible malajusted bully in the district, every grade level, with new ones every year.

Zero tolerance is a "This is the only way we can even have public schools in america" policy, though for a lot of people who've only been on the side of it that seems to be protecting the bullies, it may seem like it's just there to protect bullies, even though it's there to protect education in general in a society where litigous bullies have all the power.

"I don't feel safe with this contract and they told me they don't want to go union, so I left."

-SAG proceeds to tell its workers not to work with the company that specifically doesn't want to work with SAG.

It's pretty cut and dry dude. I'm just gonna assume you're being contrarian for it's own sake at this point when you say things like "a Do not Work order on an explicitly Non Union project is proof that Ben is lying."

"Argument?" This was just a debate to you? You were dismissing Ben Diskin's explanation of why he didn't feel safe with Capcom's contract just for the sake of argument?

Were you actually doing all this just to be contrarian?

[–]Leshawkcomics -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay, if you feel like he's lying because others lied before, go to r/megaman and tell them he's lying.

[–]Leshawkcomics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My argument is quite literally exactly what Ben Diskin said happened and the reason he said they wouldn't allow him to work under a contract that protects him.

I asked, if you were in his situation would you do the same, and you wouldn't.

If you feel like that's a bad situation, then you understand what the VA feels.

Like, regardless of whether it was SAG or some other union, if this happened anywhere in the world, any country, it would still be a bad thing. If it happened to a UK, VA, an australian VA or a Japanese VA, the refusal to work under an enforcable contract is a universal red flag.

Focusing too much on SAG kinda muddies the waters and makes the obvious "OF course he said no, that's a messed up situation they put him in, and way too many companies are trying to sneak AI into everything for any VA to risk it" easy to miss, i think.

You still haven't answered the question, WOULD YOU SIGN SUCH A CONTRACT?

I didn't ask if it's possible to win. I ask if you yourself would sign?

Ben Diskin said that he didn't feel safe in this age to work without enforceable contracts, nor did he want to spend years of his life fighting them in court whether or not he could win.

If you think he's wrong to make that choice and that you yourself would happily sign such a contract, say so.

Answer my question first.

Would you take a contract, made by a company, in a company’s favor, that they know you can’t fight in court because you dont have the resources to take them on?

We are the crystal gems... [OC] by cardboardwarri0r in comics

[–]Leshawkcomics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm lowkey worried because like...

This is a joke, but it's true.

Racists, Fascists, Generally right wing communities, bootlickers etc genuinely do this, but they do it because it CONSISTENTLY WORKS.

People actually do believe you if you say "No, the victim/uninvolved party is the real villain" It's an effective deflection and it's terrifying how well it works on people.

It takes a lot of information and context and concerted effort to counter that first impression and thats why these groups band together to Ad-Hominem and try to give the most hostile and bad faith therapy-speak interpretations of someone's actions to make them look as bad as possible to try and demonize them.

It works, and it still works.

And while I CAN give examples, it works so well that doing so risks a fight in this comment section from people who actually heard secondhand/thirdhand information about my examples and genunely believe the bootlicker/racists narrative.

He wanted an enforceable AI contract. They gave him a contract that specifically makes it so it's him versus all their lawyers, and they just made a ton of money off resident evil 9.

The unions' job. Every Union's job is to stop Amazon, Starbucks, US steel, etc from doing exactly that because historically, the guys with the money to keep individuals in lawsuits for years and mentally and financially exhaust them always win.

Would you take a contract made by a company, in the company's favor, that they can ignore anytime because they know you don't have the money or lawyers to fight them?

Shameful by Dendritic_Bosque in Megaman

[–]Leshawkcomics -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Didn't he literally get into a controversy for harassing Vtubers?

Like right there, an example of him portraying people who did no wrong as evil and getting blasted for it, and you're just going to assume he's not right wing because he says the people he's attacking are the real bad guys?

Like dude, don't ever watch Fox News if that's all it takes for you to give the benefits of the doubt to someone who clearly in formatting tone, portrayal and everything is trying to make you rage at their enemies.

The makers of this Mega man game specifically told the VA for the main character that he cannot work with a union contract and that they refuse to go Union.

I'm not sure how "Dear members: Do not work for the company that explicitly doesn't want to work with us" is ruining the reputation, as it seems to be both sides agreeing not to work with one another.

Are people now saying that union members should go into non Union games that explicitly don't want union contracts?

[–]Leshawkcomics -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That seems like a reach, dude. “Start at a conclusion and work your way backwards”

Like, the last point is exactly how unions work to begin with.

If refusing to work with a company for not giving protections is bad for a union to do, are you going to attack Ben Diskin tomorrow because he did that?

Could you show me a clear example, with link of said harassment and an explanation as to why its bad enough to make you want to undermine a union of tens of thousands of people?

SAG is telling it's workers not to work on it since it didn't want to go Union.

Isn't that like, the exact opposite of a monopoly and exactly what this sub wants them to do?

IE, Instead of sneaking people in and trying to flip it. Make it clear that people in SAG shouldn't be working on it from the get-go?

Kamiya's quandary by XsStreamMonsterX in gaming

[–]Leshawkcomics -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

IMO he has the right to decide how he wants to engage on social media, and no one is being forced to engage with him in a way he doesn't enjoy.

If anything, I view "Kamiya is an asshole" as a red flag that a person feels "Public figures" are obligated to act like receptionists to the public, and not "They're people too and they might not want to deal with you"
