Disney CEO Bob Iger Announces 7,000 Jobs Will Be Cut

During the Walt Disney Company Q1 Earnings Call. Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that the company would be making $5.5 billion in cost cuts as

Crap like this is why I laugh when people say we don't need unions anymore. You know who doesn't get their jobs cut when the consequences of the money men's attempt at upping their ESG score catch up to them? People who are in unions. The unions fight to protect the workers from losing their jobs, while without them you can be canned when the quarterly report comes in a few million below expectations.

Who is the one that created Dolly Dusk?

The IDEA for Dolly Dusk was me. We knew Sonata had a sugar-daddy (who I knew was going to be Neighsay) and we discussed what it would look like if Sonata had a secret kid with him.

Originally, Dolly was going to be a straight up villain kid, kind of like Cozy but less world domination and more menace to society. She was going to be an annoying, aggravating brat down to her very design where just LOOKING at her would make people upsetti. As a result, she looked like this:

The funny part was that BECAUSE she was going to be an evil, nefarious little brat, there was gonna be an arc where her and Sonata actually got along really well and Sonata was going to start to understand this whole 'parenthood' thing, even if it was about raising a menace to society!

But of course, @carouselunique HATED the pink streaks in her hair (an absolutely INTENTIONAL design effect mind you!) and she ended up drawing this variation of Dolly instead

And, well, now that she had a design that WASN'T intended to draw ire and hatred upon just looking at her, her image immediately began to soften and she basically became canonical Sonata in her little triplet group, the Dinklings.

So really you have a group effort to thank for the current iteration of Dolly that everyone knows and loves. Without some intervention she would've been a lot more menacing lol

[caldera599]

Nope, sorry Dolly, evil isn't adorable.

all cop shows are propaganda so the only valid one is criminal minds because they do the lords work of demonizing white men in almost every episode

“This show is OK because it demonizes people I hate based on skin color.”

Spot the left-wing racist.

Have you ever played ‘Vampire the Masquerade- Bloodlines’? If so, how did you deal with the fact that the lore is kind of blasphemous from a Christian perspective? Are there games that you have really wanted to play but because of things in the story or lore, as a Christian you felt you couldn’t? I guess I ask because I’m a person who really gets into the story and the roleplay of characters I play in video games. I try to change things for ‘my story’ but maybe that is not good enough.

I haven't played Vampire the Masquerade.

But blasphemous? Bro, I can't tell you how many things that have portrayed God as evil, promoted hatred of God, and I just roll my eyes and enjoy the rest of it.

It's only real blasphemy if you make it real.

[caldera599]

My friend, Christians should have nothing to do with anything that is blasphemous.  I don’t know about Vampire:  The Masquerade, but if it blasphemes God, no, get rid of it.

throughout history, non-catholics who have opposed catholics have always been so uncomfortable with nuns and sought to eliminate the idea. lutheranism...french revolution...english reformation...only catholics can comprehend that women can be something other than wives and mothers and this isn’t unnatural and is in fact holy and understandable.

[catholic-shieldmaiden-deactivat]

Satan in particular hates contemplative nuns because of how important they are to The Church, even today all over the world women are being discouraged from entering religious life and their orders are persecuted from both within and without, because satan has learned over the centuries that you can't seriously wound The Church without taking out the contemplative nuns first -they're that important- but of course you can't just kill them, martyrs are too powerful, and that definitely didn't work during the reign of terror, so what would he do instead? Destroy their orders, attack their means of living, vilify and degrade religious life, and dissuade women from ever joining in the first place.

[thelastoneconfusion]

i’m a celibate woman, and call myself a nun regularly so i gotta say-  fuck you?  only catholics are like ‘’oh this woman won’t marry so lets chain her with vows in a bulding for life under the rule of a man knows to sexually abuse em’’  that said i’ve never met a protestant that wanted to elimate nuns, or had anything against the institution itself, you’re delusional 

[cato-uticensis]

Well then you haven’t met me.

The concept of monasticism is unbiblical and like everything else that masquerades as a part of Christianity it must be destroyed.

You shouldn’t call yourself a nun, it is non synonymous with being celibate and it requires an oath to be a bride of Christ, an absurd thing.

[thelastoneconfusion]

there's a big diffrence between not being a biblical thing and being against the bible tho. i see no wrong in the institution themselves however they sure ain't this hole thing OP suggests. and i will call myself a nun as it's the closest word avaliable

[countess-of-edessa]

u are not a nun ur a protestant woman who doesn’t have sex lol

[a-beautiful-crow]

Nuns have to be like literal soldiers to be where they are. I will not take Nun slander here. The monastic life is a hard vocation and not easy at all. It's not a second option. It's not Plan B if my life goes wrong. If it's Plan B you will not last long. Those hard working women have to deal with so much already.

They leave the whole world behind. It's an actual marriage with God. They all have to be worthy of that. That's why it's so hard. When they're novices they don't even go to their own family's funerals. They choose that path. They do the worst things imaginable with a smile and they love it. They work for hours on end, not sleeping for days, and they are unnaturally happy all the time.

Life as a normal person is so easy compared to that. It's an insult to even compare the two.

*monasticism being thousands of years old integral to Christianity from day 1 and literally being directly responsible for western Christian tradition surviving the test of time*

Prots who’s traditions go back at best 500 years: “No actually that’s unchristian”

[broken-academia]

imagine the absolute madness that comes with calling yourself a nun when you’re just like. a woman. nuns pray the Divine Office, nuns take solemn vows. nuns wear habits, dedicate their entire life before God. nuns are brides of Christ and the Church. they are cloistered, active. they are nurses, doctors, teachers, adorers. they serve the poor, the ostracized, raise orphans and tend wounds.

but yes, the defining image of a woman should always be her sexual relationship with men. let’s reduce our religious vocations down to celibacy. worst take i have ever seen in my life

Gaslighting is active manipulation to make someone question their sanity, memory, or perception of reality. It’s not lying, remembering something differently, or disagreeing with someone.
