  • As a man in the trades, absolutely. I do my best to encourage women of any age to learn a skilled trade. There’s still a bit of a “boys club” sentiment, thankfully it’s starting to die out. There’s not enough people interested in doing the hard work involved in the trades to keep the skills going, even the sexists can’t afford to keep women out.
    I have absolutely no issues working next to anyone, regardless of where they are on the gender/sexuality spectrums, all I ask is that they do their share and not be a douche-cannoe.
    Maybe unsurprisingly the only 2 asks I have are too much for a lot of people.





  • Yeah, piracy is shown to actually boost sales for the most part. Not everyone who pirates refuses to spend money on games/media at all. And with game demos not really being a thing in the AA/AAA/AAAAAAAAAAAAAA game space, often it makes more sense to pirate it, see if you actually like it, and buy it if you enjoy it enough to actually pay.
    And it’s the same argument as when the Harry Potter game was free on Epic, I refused to add it to my library at all. Even with people saying “Epic payed them a flat rate, so they get the same amount if no one gets it or everyone does!”… adding it to your library still ticks up their “sales” figures, and I’ll be fucked if I support that heinous waste of air JKR in any way shape or form.
