Wife was hired in 2014 for a position that was designed to be remote. They changed things in 2017 and tried to make her come into an office 2.5 hours away, 5 days a week. She’s legally blind and doesn’t drive, a fact they were fully aware of and had no issues with when they hired her. She tried to argue multiple times, and it just ended up going in circles with several managers getting pretty insulting to her. So, she quit, and eventually decided to contact a disability lawyer to inform the ex-employer she would be suing for discrimination, and ADA violations. Because they said some pretty stupid things in emails and voicemails. They ended up offering a nice sized settlement. She found another WFH job that paid 3x what she was making at the old place, with a higher level position and more closely fits her education. She’s much happier with how things turned out for her. The position has been on various job sites for over 3 years and doesn’t look like it’s been filled since she quit, though I can’t say that for sure.

I’m a big Qentin Tarantino fan, but I never felt he was right for Star Trek. Not his type of movie IMO. But what the fuck do I know.

Seth hates Disney, so doubt a 4 will ever happen. What I do hope will happen is he comes up with another Orville like show on another platform.

Yeah, they tried that here too. Luckily the state stepped in and made it hard for the cable company to monopolize the system like that.

Wow, Canada must charge a lot more for cable than the US then. When I cut the cord in 2012 I was paying about $60 USD per month. I just got an offer for $70/mo for 2 years. You are paying more then that at least.

People forget that some can not get vaccinated even if they want to, like myself. But I also do my best to avoid people in general so… But do what you can to avoid the public as much as possible when you are sick, regardless of COVID or just a cold.

- Comment on Unity Silently Deletes GitHub Repo that Tracks Terms of Service Changes and Updated Its License 9 months ago:
I’m inclined to agree with you on this. I have made it a point to remove wishlisted games that were Unity based, at least for now anyway. But yes, I think this is going to more be with the devs to move away from Unity before anything will actually change.

So I have Tabletop Simulator and Planet Crafter, the first of which is way more important to me as I use it to run my weekly D&D game. With hundreds of custom assets, and hours upon hours of scripting to make it work how I want. Since I’ve already purchased these games and have them installed, is it fair to keep using them?
