Yeah, since thr Gabecube is just a PC then a company could just buy the valve subsidized machine, wipe it, and use it for business stuff and never buy a game. Valve can’t risk that.

There is no shortage of real CSAM creators to go after. Shouldn’t we prioritize going after those people ahead of drawings of cartoon characters?

- Comment on Are platforms like reddit just "internet noise" and bots or just genuinely the darkest parts of humanity? 2 weeks ago:
Back in 2014 or so, when reddit was getting bigger but not big enough for the mainstream yet, I noticed a half dozen accounts that would just post on r/toronto, r/chicago, and other popular city subreddits.
All they did was post about crimes committed by visible minorities, and attempt to derail posts about visible minorities being the victims of crimes.
They posted like it was their jobs, but I don’t think they got paid for it. These are people who are so scared of minorities they volunteered a significant amount of their time trying to convince others to be afraid.

When I was reading the manga my takeaway was that the monster association arch was unanimatable due to the complexity of the monster designs. You’d have to go 3D models and those would look and move like ass.
- Comment on A young woman was sexually assaulted while out DoorDashing. Two days after she reported the assault to DoorDash, they deactivated her account and she can't access the money she's owed. 5 weeks ago:
Me inviting my friends over and being ass naked when they showed up would be very upsetting to them. Me claiming “It’s my own home!” doesn’t fly. It smells like I’m crafting a scenario where I can expose myself while claiming innocence.
This guy ordered food, asked for a handoff and then left his door open to lure her in so he could expose himself to her.
The only reason you’re giving this guy so much slack is because, and you actually do have this tagged with your username on my lemmy app, you are a misogynist.

Why’d he leave the door wide open?

Doesn’t take a genius to put two amd teo together

If I go out naked under a trench coat and flash someone that is sexual assault. I’m getting off on the power of being able to expose myself to them without their consent.
This man lured this woman in for the same reason.
- Comment on Just in time 1 month ago:
You make an excellent point, my only rebuttal would be that on average people are have become much kinder and more compassionate as they’ve moved up on the hierarchy of needs. Which I believe demonstrates that an ever increasing amount of people are living in comfort and security in our current world, much more than in the 1500s, though I’m sure you could find them.

The one area where men and women are equally abusive is with children. It really does just come down to physical strength creating a power imbalance.
- Comment on what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace? 2 months ago:
In both Canada and the USA, employers are generally not allowed to arbitrarily restrict employees from speaking their preferred language at work, except where justified by business necessity or legal requirements. However, some differences exist based on region, industry, and recent legislative changes[1][2][3][4][5].
Canada: Official Languages and Provincial Differences
- Canada recognizes English and French as official languages federally, and federal employees in bilingual regions have the right to work, receive services, and be supervised in their choice of English or French[3][6][7].
- In the private sector, language is not explicitly protected under the Canadian Human Rights Act, but discrimination based on language can be challenged if it is linked to protected grounds like ethnicity, ancestry, or place of origin[1][8][9][10].
- In most provinces, employers can require workplace proficiency in English or French if it is necessary for business operations. Prohibiting other languages (including during breaks) may be considered discriminatory unless a clear safety, communication, or business necessity exists[1][8][11].
- Quebec has strict laws requiring the use of French in workplaces, but across the country, arbitrary “English-only” rules must be objectively justified rather than used to exclude or discriminate against employees[1][12].
United States: Civil Rights Protections
- As of 2025, English has been designated the official language by executive order, but federal law does not force employers to adopt “English-only” rules for all circumstances[2][4].
- Blanket policies that ban languages other than English in the workplace are presumed illegal under EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) guidelines and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. These laws protect employees from discrimination based on national origin, which includes language[4][5][13][14][15][16].
- Employers may only require English proficiency or impose English-only policies if there is a clear business necessity (for example, safety, effective business operations, or workplace cohesion). Any such rule must be limited in scope, justified, and consistently enforced[5][13][16].
- Employees can generally speak their native language during breaks and non-work periods unless it interferes with business needs—targeting specific language groups or enforcing policies unequally is unlawful[4][5][14][17].
Practical Implications
- In both countries, requiring employees to speak English (or French in Quebec/federal Canada) must be directly related to the job, such as for customer service or safety.
- Businesses can set reasonable language requirements but must avoid blanket bans or policies that create a hostile work environment or discriminate against employees based on their cultural or national origin[1][4][5][8].
- Employees who face language-related discrimination may have grounds to file complaints under human rights codes or federal civil rights law, especially if language ties to protected grounds like ethnicity[1][8][9][16].
For federal workplaces in Canada and sectors with specific language laws (like Quebec), rights to use an official language are robust[3][6][7]. In most workplaces elsewhere, business needs dictate reasonable language requirements, but arbitrary or discriminatory restrictions are unlawful in both Canada and the USA[4][5][8].
