Because Microsoft knows if it can sell the product to your manager, that’s all that really matters

Individuals are relentlessly marketed to by targeted ads psychologically designed to get them to purchase disposable, useless slop, but sure let’s just say it’s their fault for falling for it.

I don’t understand how this post isn’t supposed to be political, or at least make reference to it/invite discussions of it. What are we all upset about, forming an army and going out there to “sort out”? Why are things bad to the point where, were this a movie, the superheroes arrive?

Because to me (and several others) the answer is clearly politics, the current political trends and movements.

We’re not angry for no reason, but in fact for a series of very valid political reasons. I won’t get into the specifics since it’s against the rules, but I don’t think it’s very fair to make a post gesturing at the state of the world, in a way that says we should get involved, and then telling people they can’t discuss what we’d actually do because the solutions are political. To insist otherwise feels to me like we’d be protesting just to protest with no actual goals.

I dunno, when did you stop beating your wife?
