From 2020:

It goes without saying that the pandemic has upended work life in 2020. But rather than seeing this period of compulsory remote work as a one-off byproduct of COVID-19, it can be understood as an inflection point in a long-coming technology-driven reckoning on the nature of office work.

Will employees be looking for more ways to connect in person after the pandemic? How about in a decade or 20 years, for that matter? It might seem an odd moment to celebrate the opening of Microsoft’s new state-of-the-art 46,000 square meter campus in Herzliya, Israel, except for that fact that questions around different and creative ways of working were already deliberated when the campus was designed – four years ago.



“This was a once-in-a-lifetime project,” said Tel Aviv-based Lead Architect Vered Gindi of Vered Gindi Architects, who designed the campus as a joint venture with the Israeli and French firm, GSArch.

Don't worry hasanabi Bros, I'm sure it's just used for heckin wholesome Halo technology.

I was expecting far worse. Honestly thought we'd be in a major war already where millions of us citizens were already drafted. Also thought a civil war with at least one state would've happened. I mean it's still early but really hope it doesn't come to that

Major and civil war within 100 days. Absolute clown.

Tell me you've lived in the most peaceful and prosperous times known to humanity without telling me you've lived in the most peaceful and prosperous times known to humanity.

An article critical of daddy Soyny didn't get a thread on Resetera?

The Microsoft-BDS shit, the staff promoting buying Microsoft products aside, shows how they don't actually believe their own rhetoric.

Because from their point of view if somebody says you to Microsoft does business in Israel so we need to not use any of their products, the proper response would be "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism."

Every company does business with Israel just like every company does business with China. That's the entire point of global capitalism. Sorry, if your ethics are absolute perfection in every spot of the supply chain for every single product on Earth, then no, you cannot use anything. You can't even read this post because fossil fuels are the main source of electricity for the entire planet. Solar power? Only operates with fossil fuel backups to maintain a constant load in the system. Unless you're literally off the grid, you're complicit.

Which means, just like with all other instances where they chant that for no clear reason, you're absolved from guilt. You can't pick or choose because I can do this for literally any "ethical" company you bring me. Any business that relies on any form of manufacturing? Oops, sorry, not ethical. Relies on financing? Oops, global finance is definitely not ethical under your system. Owns property? Wow, really not ethical.

You're the one who has adopted an uncompromising rigid ethical nihilism, it's not on me to adhere to standards that are literally impossible to meet you fucking morons. Abandon the impossible ethics, not keep trying to make up excuses for why you're allowed to not follow them this time.

Unlike some Era moderation and "leftist" members, I did NOT buy the Halo bundle.

PSA. It's really easy to boycott when, you know, it's good to NOT give profits to genocide. 

Show a little backbone and restraint!

I exclusively buy products to support genocide. 

I didn't pre-order a switch 2 because game consoles are a product of genocide. 

I buy my consoles not to play anything on them, but to fund genocide.

With our combined purchasing power, millions will perish.

I didn't read closely just scrolled a bit and enjoyed how many posts were complaining about a story component "emboldening the chuds" and so shouldn't have been done solely for that reason.

This is exactly why we can't have wlw relationships in the MCU and Black people in Star Wars.

“The Supreme Court’s ruling that, under the Equality Act, ‘woman’ is defined by biological sex, states that ‘the concept of sex is binary, a person is either a woman or a man’. We believe the ruling undermines the lived reality and threatens the safety of trans, non-binary and intersex people living in the UK.”

As opposed to undermining the lived reality of you know, biological women? Trans people, enbys should STFU and listen to women on this issue, you don’t get to talk over them and impose your will on women.

The cruelty is the point.

They're always like "fucking chuds have no media literacy" and then they want media to actually self censor because it might be a vague win for the chuds in a terminally online argument the creators probably weren't even aware of

My parents were going to, but then they made a decision not to, to ensure I didn't have an unfair advantage over my sister (as they could only afford one of us to go).

Guess who is actually earning a higher salary and gets more holidays lol.

I prefer being a "normal" person as private school might have turned me into a dickhead potentially. But on the other hand I have always had some intellectual, academic inclinations, but I didn't do well through the state school system (I was good at GCSE, then average at 6th form) nor did I end up going to the best uni etc. (or even graduate at all).

I think if my parents had put me through private school, I would have reached my potential, gone to a top tier uni, got a prestige high salary paying job etc.

But I'm not bitter about it or anything, I'm apathetic, don't really care. But just knowing how geeky/nerdy I am, I think it would have helped nurture that side of me moreso than state school did.

Mr. Dickhead thinks he'd be a CEO by now if only he'd gone too private school. Luckily he's not bitter about it.
