It doesn’t matter if it’s actually very safe to do, it’s the fact that many women have been and are attacked that way so women will always have that fear in the back of their mind. Trying to deny this is going against basic human psychology and behaviour.

You only need to look at the current “man or bear” discussion to see how wrong you are.

They already host their own, XBL and PSN. They don’t want any hassle outside of that. I doubt anyone shared anything to Twitter from consoles anyway.

Women don’t generally like riding bikes home after dark through dimly lit streets and parks etc. Pretty universal thing.

Is it illegal if the creator is saying they’re ok with you getting it for free?

Why doesn't he just put the game up for free as an option then?

So many reasons. Not everyone lives close enough to the city. Not everyone wants to ride a bike. Not everyone has showers available at their work. Not everyone would feel safe riding a bike, especially women. Then there's the big one - the weather.

More comfortable.

Cheaper.

Higher resolution.

No idiots hooting and hollering and shooting up the screen.

Pause.

Subtitles.

Gee, I wonder why.

at no extra wholesale cost to retailers.

And at no extra cost to customers, right? Right?

Private Internet Access. Been using it for probably 10 years at this point, never had a single issue. Their "no logging" claim has been tested successfully in court.

CEO doesn’t make decisions about what product lines to discontinue. He didn’t create the Australia day thing.

The CEO is ultimately responsible for every decision they make. He absolutely had a say in it and he clearly thought it was a good idea, and he thought his messaging was good.

Of course you fire the CEO before the enquiry, so you can divert blame during the enquiry. “Oh yeah maybe we did some bad stuff but it’s all fixed now”.

Nope, you wait until after the enquiry so you can blame them at the end and say "we'll take action by firing the ceo". What if the enquiry comes up with nothing bad and you've already fired your CEO? lol

Woolworths is not “finding out”.

Again - CEO gone. Enormous public backlash. This whole thing has even further pushed for calls for inquiries and change.

Just as it was a month ago, any assertion that Woolworth has made a mistake in discontinuing Australia day merch is just absurd.

Bet the CEO doesn't think that. Bet the people that pushed him to retirement don't think that. They are a supermarket, not a politician. Keep your shitty politics out of it and sell stuff that people want to buy. Note they never said it didn't sell, they just said there had been a "gradual decline in sales". The best selling product on earth can have a gradual decline in sales but still sell well.

Frankly, I’m genuinely surprised you’re still fretting about it.

Same with you.
