I’m not all that shocked. All the Loblaws corp and Galen has is empty platitudes with the hope of making more money.

The vacuum is on and if they’re not maxing out their returns from farmers and the general public their board is calling for someone’s head. They have no mercy.

They are a cancer on this society and I wish the boycott went on forever and actually put them out of business to show we don’t fuck around but the public at large are lazy and passive.

Unfortunately that’s a very subjective and naive point of view

And it’s a million times better for people trying to troubleshoot.

1 forum post can solve many problems, rather than having to have each person ask in a support chat that’s not searchable.

The best part was not feeling like I should be doing something else.

I felt like sitting my lazy ass on the couch watching movies and eating popcorn was exactly where I was supposed to be for once.

These people just can’t handle anything, just anything, not being exactly as they like it, and if it isn’t, it has to be some sort of conspiracy.

How? Human error.

Why? Microsoft is just that kind of company and always has been. Their t’s aren’t crossed and i’s aren’t dotted, and people buy their shit because they’re used to it.

The only thing these companies care about is money. These fines need to have teeth to actually make them change.

Not to mention that we’ve been living in a business and economic environment where Fortune 500 companies have been getting it easy both ways. They’re able to work with impunity AND they lobby the hell out of governments to leave them alone.

This money could actually start to swing stuff towards the consumer again, rather than this new world where regular people seem to be fighting against the rich, corporations, and governments all at the same time. Although it could be said that those three entities are one and the same.

“Disney had more or less trained audiences to expect big, hot Pixar content at home,” explained Brandon Katz, an entertainment industry strategist at Parrot Analytics.

I agree with the point but not necessarily the reason why.

Pixar movies used to be “can’t miss”. They were a cut above everything else, and incredibly unique. Now they’re just.. Disney Pixar. They’ve watered down so much of what made them great before.

And of course Disney is cutting staff due to lack of box office success without taking an inward look that their imprinting on the company might have something to do with its downfall.

Microsoft is a wonderful success story that being one of the first, and being parasitic, anti-competitive and anti-consumer, all while failing upwards by having some of the buggiest production releases out there on increasingly bloated software, is all that really counts to Wall Street.

And most of the world is too afraid to split off from it because it’s what they know.

The original Kratos was basically one big long revenge story. Almost all of it justified and satisfying, but basically wiping out the Greek Pantheon was his ultimate goal.

His actions were reckless and fury driven, but often went over the top, both in violence and in actions.

My favourite example is from GoW: Ragnarok, when certain characters are reflecting on Kratos’ past, and how the one story of him killing the Sisters of Fate must truly be myth, then he corrects them saying it was true and how they deserved it. The third character then shines a present light on the fact that he did that in the past and says, “that’s the most dangerous and irresponsible thing I’ve ever heard.”

I think that sums up Greek Kratos in a nutshell.
