Hear me out...
  • I'm not entirely sure why changing Lara Croft's looks to have shorter hair would be necessarily a negative thing. It wouldn't affect her character or her character arc.

    I acknowledge that there is some reason to be cautious about character revisions, especially because there have been several recent instances where the designer makes changes without understanding why the character are the way they are, and they ruin the character's personal arc as a result. But to say that all changes are SJW seems reductive and it also, frankly, seems to not describe the actual issue at all

  • Ukrainian climate activism
  • Ukraine set a SMART goal.

    • Specific - they intend to destroy an oil refinery with a missile
    • Measurable - there are a countable number of oil refineries in Russia
    • Actionable - sending a missile can destroy oil refineries
    • Relevant - Russia having oil refineries is bad
    • Time-oriented - Ukraine can launch missiles to destroy oil refineries any time

    Just Stop Oil did not set a SMART goal.

    • Specific - Unclear what they will throw onto which painting, and when they will throw it
    • Measurable - How do they measure a successful tomato juice throw?
    • Actionable - Anybody can throw tomato juice.
    • Relevant - Unclear how throwing tomato juice onto paintings is relevant to climate change
    • Time-oriented - has no plan for when to throw tomato juice

    Make of this information what you will

  • COVER Corporation announces its first overseas branch, COVER USA
  • I wonder if it's partly so that they can have a studio in the US. My understanding is that EN talents have to go to Japan if they want to use the 3D equipment, so it would make sense from a business perspective to have a working studio in the US. Lowers the travel expenses that I'm betting Cover had to reimburse every time an EN talent flies to Japan for a studio trip

  • Stop using Opera Browser and Opera GX
  • Not often, but it does happen enough times that I have Chrome installed as a backup in case something doesn't work. It's usually the in-house websites (for instance, the ones made for tracking timesheets) that break on Firefox. Not all of them break, of course, but if you're required to submit a form via a particular in-house website and it doesn't load on Firefox, then you're kind of forced to have a backup browser at minimum.

    It doesn't happen often enough that I would say that using Firefox is problematic, but if you combine that with people's inherent aversion to change, you can start to see why people are so resistant to even trying Firefox. Unfortunately, it ends up being a self-fulfilling prophecy, since the less people use Firefox, the less the web development teams at these companies would be incentivized to make sure their website works on Firefox
