This article could’ve been written any decade since the 1990s. It’s nothing new: The big game companies haven’t changed a bit and continue to exploit workers.

The only way to change things is via stronger worker protections/regulations.

As expected, nobody cares about “reader mode”. Only once in my life has it ever come in handy… It was a website that was so badly designed I swore never to go back to it ever again.

I forget what it was but apparently I wasn’t the only one and thus, it must’ve died a fast death as I haven’t seen it ever again (otherwise I’d remember).

Basically, any website that gets users so frustrated that they resort to reader/simplified mode isn’t going to last very long. If I had my way I would change the messages:

“This website appears to be total shit. Do you want Firefox to try to fix it so your eyes don’t bleed trying to get through it?”

I want an extension that does this, actually! It doesn’t need to actually modify the page. Just give me a virtual assistant to comiserate with…

“The people who made this website should have their browser’s back button removed entirely as punishment for erecting this horror!”

Don’t ever change, Catholic Church. More and more people are starting to catch on. In 100 years there might not be a Catholic Church anymore and the world will be better for it.

This headline could’ve appeared every month for the past 2000 years. It’s just that only in modern times are priests and pastors facing actual consequences.

Nonsense! Calum is doing what Calum does at home. If the company doesn’t want to see it they shouldn’t be watching him like that when he’s at home.

Remember: Calum isn’t feeling well. Any doctor would say Calum is doing his part to get better and stay healthy!

Clearly the company wants the employees to bring their sick children into the office. Bring the sniffling, sneezing, coughing, wipe-their-snot-on-everything child right into the boss’s office and proudly proclaim your support of the sick leave policy!

“Give my boss a hug, sweetheart!”

I’m glad you left out, “thoughts” because we all know that was never a factor in this.

Lying liar lies about his stock liquidation plans.

Everyone that still holds stock after Trump is allowed to sell is a sucker. A sucker that absolutely will deserve those losses. It’d be like investing in Bernie Madoff at this point… After he’s proven to the world that he’s a fraud a thousand times over, people are still throwing money at Trump’s bullshit.

Future news: “I invested almost all my savings into this!”

Who could’ve known he was lying about selling it all as fast as he could‽

Everyone with half a brain, that’s who.

Now maybe Republicans can understand how it feels to be misgendered? Nah, that would require empathy!

You’d think everyone would’ve caught on by now with so many of them being misidentified as real men.
