Do you notice how, the higher the evidence stacks up that our ruling class is basically just a gaggle of coercive arse-grabbers covering up for each other, the more extreme their terror of foreign sex criminals and transgenders lurking in toilet cubicles grows

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.
Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

Larian's horrible hirring process is an open secret in the industry – insane amounts of unpaid work in "writing tests", excessive numbers of interviews, months and months of back and forth, etc. Everyone in games narrative circles has heard the stories at this point, probably from multiple people.
I know this because they tried to recruit me and I strongly considered it but they’re also a “do an unpaid writing test where you have to also make it playable” company so that’s not something I vibe with

The easiest way to emigrate to Canada after WWII was to claim you were an anti-communist and the easiest way to prove you were anti-communist was to present your literal Nazi service records. Canada was basically Argentina with moose and maple syrup.

Doing redundancies right before the holidays is cruel. Hardly anyone is hiring this time of year and if you're on a visa, you might not be able to go home without invalidating it.
The people in power at those companies made a choice to do it now and wow was that a choice.
