It's a big problem in my company. The number of people in my department that can successfully troubleshoot an issue to resolution, understand the root cause, and prevent it from happening again is shrinking. They do have skills, but not true understanding of how/why things work or don't work. It's tremendously frustrating, and it's a trend that's not going away. I don't believe it's just an issue with the education system though. I can't remember the last time I was in a meeting or review where upper management tries some kind of "outside-the-box" techniques.

Thank you for sharing. My day has truly been enriched.

Is it really "stolen" when you store them in an unsecured manner?

I don't know why you were modded down. I thought it was funny.

PETA needs to focus on real issues. It's not like those cameras were tremendous burdens, or that the camels were abused.

Have you been to Texas?

I don't know why you were modded down. You hit the nail on the head.Our government is comprised of blue pill, beta bitches.

I know! It's actually a reasonable comment from him, and that kind of freaks me out.

Too damn hard? I don't even know how to begin to reply to that.

Well, she did kind of cherry-pick the most violent examples. I also doubt she'll really explore the side of gaming that is positive towards women, because she has a specific agenda...and it's not the betterment of the gaming community. That being said, she doesn't deserve threats and harassment; no one does. It's sad that her critics can't have a rational debate, and resort to violent threats. I'm hoping there's a full investigation. I think it's become easier and more acceptable to be a troll. Personally, I think more forums need to push for a cleaner community. If you can't discuss a game's merits and failures in an adult manner, you should be banned permanently with your IP blocked. There were portions of her latest video that I did agree with. Sadly, she followed the typical failure of modern journalism. Instead of showing both sides of the issue, highlighting her stance, and allowing the reader/viewer to choose their own, she opted to only show one side. I could describe a cup of coffee as being brown, staining your teeth, and having sediment floating in it. While that description is correct, it only shows one half of the issue. She’s transferring the burden to the viewer, and I feel that is wrong. By repetitively showing the most extreme examples of violence towards women, she’s able to whip her audience into a frenzy and polarize the situation. Talking about the “violence in games” as a general concept, she’s pushing the assumption that all games are violent and that the industry is ruled by misogyny and patriarchy. Granted, there is misogyny in the industry, so she does have valid points. I just have problems with how she’s presenting it.

I would like to see a full investigation. If it's true, the person needs to be outed and prosecuted. If it's publicity...well, then she needs to be outed. I don't support her work, and personally feel she's a con-artist. Still, no one deserves to be harassed.

ATI's just declared war.

That must have been torture for them. I'm praying for their safe recovery.

Yes, because sticking your nails into a drink is totally discreet. I still think the best method is to just not leave a drink unattended when you're out.

Sadly, you're correct.
