Just Stop Oil activists throw soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers after fellow protesters jailed
  • Please don't misunderstand me. I'm absolutely all for bothering people because it's needed for change. But there are more and less effective ways to do that. Trashing art thatcis unrelated really seems less effective. Effective to a point, but less effective overall. You mentioned there have been protests at the appropriate places, and I admit I only know a handful. Do you have examples where people have damaged say, a corrupt politicians car? Or perhaps blocked the street where a lobbyist lives? Or maybe thrown red paint or buckets of organ meat and offal on the steps of the supreme court and picketed about the damages they've caused to womens rights?

    If they have been doing outlandish things to the politicians and places of government, then I'm sorry. I haven't noticed and I will agree it's come time to demonstrate elsewhere. I will add that if that's truly the case, I wish they'd say so when doing these stunts.

  • Bad faith actors are busy these days.
  • The senile filanderer criticized Biden of not sending enough to Israel. He's not blameless. I'm not excusing Biden, but Trump is still worse and any vote that doesn't push him further away is the worst option.

  • It's not a productive discourse though. They draw the ire of everyone doing something so senseless, and that in turn causes damage to the progress of their cause because people don't want to support them.

    An anecdotal example is that I agree with some of their sentiments but I will never support them because they do stupid ineffectual nonsense like this. Take your protests to the places that control these issues. Not a fucking art gallery.

  • Entire HR Team Fired After Manager Uses His Own Resume To Prove Their System Is Auto-Rejecting All Candidates
  • Yeah I imagine so. That's a very different scenario and it wouldn't make sense to ignore a specific group. Getting cold calls from recruiters on LinkedIn is a very different scenario from that and I wouldn't expect my situation to apply there at all.

  • [FFVIIR] Is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Good for People Who Haven't Played the Original?
  • At this point I'd say no, because it's not complete. Once it's complete it may. Some parts are much better done. Some are weirdly changed and don't really make sense imo. I'm working off foggy memory at this point for how much it changed. But in the end, I'd say that you'd be better served by the original if you are ok with classic games.
