Laughing at the use of facemasks oh jeez heinous crime😂 whatever next. 
Anyway this is the post, I believe it may have been someone else that made the original post.
She also got attacked by the trans community for not putting her pronouns in her bio🤔
I also read that Pedro Pascal compared 75 million Americans to being Nazis. Will await his award 😂
 
Eitherway this public lynching for wrong opinions is stupid, the fact people actually go trawling through others lives looking for offence is one of the dumbest things these days. 
 

It’s hard to see this as anything other than another victim of the cancer that is cancel culture.
 
Calling her out as racist and saying she should be fired just because she didn’t make a BLM post.  Or calls for her to be fired because she supported Trump.  By that logic, 74 million other Americans should be getting fired too.
 
I don’t follow her, or anyone really, o social media but from the articles I read she hasn’t actually said or done anything wrong.  Sure I disagree with the things she said but I’ve yet to find anyone I agree with on everything.

It's not like there are any double standards when browsing social media posts these days are there🤔

Context on my POV:
I'm not a Star Wars fan, but I did enjoy The Mandalorian... and probably have a better than basic knowledge of Star Wars lore. I lean liberal. Is what she said offensive? Sure. Do I necessarily care? Ehhhh... not really? There are plenty of actors out there that have viewpoints dissimilar to mine, and for me, unless you are actually actively doing terrible sh*t to the tune of harming people and animals for no good reason (I'm looking at you worthless pieces of garbage a la Jake Paul and Logan Paul), I generally say... whatever.
 
Look, we who are employed by others are endlessly told to keep your POVs to yourself and be mindful of your social media. I have signed something that had that wording in the last 5 places I was employed, especially in the position I hold. I'm pretty sure she had to sign that as well. It's DISNEY. They absolutely care about what their assets put out there.
 
In terms of the corporate world, she did this to herself... getting fired.
 
In terms of her POV, ehhhh. It's terrible, and I wouldn't want to know her as a human. But, I also liked that she was a woman whose body I could actually relate to... who wasn't fat but was considered strong. No one wins with her being gone. Not the story. Not women. Not her. Not Disney.

That's four minutes of my life I won't get back. Didn't really explain anything except bang on about a cult.
 
I suppose Disney are probably uber sensitive since they were founded by a fascist sympathiser😆

I see quite a few people on Cold War MP with store items. Money is still getting spent. But compared to MW and BO4 it's nowhere near the same numbers. They fairly milked BO4 with the lottery type loot boxes and pay to win weapons.
 
Personally myself I don't spend real life money on the store. As James said a yearly cycle. Got better things to spend money on. I buy the game and grind whatever is available for free.

A great evening of racing in my opinion, though the experience will never be the same for some now counter steering assists have been prohibited 😅
 
Thought @techno did great on his first races. 
Love Willow Springs and was doing well personally until the tyres started to wear out. Tits up after that, for me anyway 😁
The reverse grid in race 2 was sort of a good idea. I and @Lurch got some hostile attention at turn 1 and I never recovered. 
But it made @Grebothpull his socks up, going from last to a very deserved second, beaten by birthday boy @JBR-Kiwi
The wet race was actually a nice change and glad we tried it. I'm up for another one.
Most had a decent night I think, @LordBaguette showing he has some race pace, @slamminbones again in the wrong tyres 😅
@tronic44with one eye on the Man U game😆
As for @GazzaGarrattand his driving wheel, well that deserves it's own thread🤔😅
@Shucker showing some speed and a possible future front runner?
@Mikepjbell showing me his usual loving attention, did very well in race 2 despite the assist change, very impressive 👏
@Misneach_ where the fuck were you?
 
12 or 13 in total racing last night, reckon we will have 16 when everyone is able to get on🙂
 
GG guys 

Hopefully I had a go on the correct willow springs

I really don't understand why people are willing to buy cosmetic bullshit for real money, especially when they paid full price for a game. I mean skins in an fps 😂

Been thinking about that but the one thing that sort of goes against that way of thinking is the competitive scene, surely you need a decent 6v6 mp to feed e-sports.

I loved Treyarch up to Black Ops 2 - BO3 was decent but the lack of a campaign in 4 along with pathetic post-launch Support really annoyed me. The relationship they have with the community is also in a really bad state now and it will never likely recover.  They should've never reformed Sledgehammer - instead merged IW and Treyarch and then built a single game that could be supported for 3 years rather than a new one every year.
 
That boat has sailed now though and a good time to have done that would have been after WW2 - MW2019 could've been the foundation. Cold War was a step backwards in a few regards such as the animations and engine so it's a bit of a mess really. This year we'll probably get Advanced Warfare 2 and SHG will be taking over Warzone which will lead to another dead MP after xmas and calamitous Warzone changeover. 
 
Consoles really needed a universal game like COD Mobile or COD Online. Huge missed opportunity.

Yeah for sure, also going the beer and burgers route this year👍
I usually start at least half hour behind so I can skip half time show.
 

Actually over time I've personally preferred treyarch games, this one snacks of sledgehammer which treyarch had to finish.
I also prefer cold war to mw19. Maybe the way forward would be to take the best parts of all.

This has been on the cards for a long time sadly.  By having a new COD every year, it's saturated the traditional deathmatch-type games and these just don't make the money Activision desire even with massive unit sales. The series has failed pathetically as an eSport but Warzone is raking in the money - literally well over $1bn a quarter on just cosmetic shite alone. Insane money really. COD mobile can also generate way more than its console version counterparts even being FREE which just shows what the gaming landscape has become from a business standpoint. Why bother selling 25m copies of a game when you can sell coloured guns and make even more money without spending a penny in the process?
 
For me, COD has been dead since Black Ops 2 anyway so it's no big loss. I don't like the brand anymore and its filled with cancerous business practices and dickhead community members. It's barely recognisable to what it used to be. Things have actually gotten worse since supply drops which is crazy to think about. Warzone is laden with cheaters - some even notable streamers/content creators and Activision hasn't bothered about eradicating that problem until this week and even then it was a lame effort.  Post launch support for these games now is shockingly bad especially with no season passes. Even zombies players have been well and truly fucked over. Even Treyarch don't give a fuck about the community now. 
 
Call of Duty is well and truly dead in its traditional sense. They'll milk the battle royale until 2025 and then I'm sure that will become unbearably saturated and something else will come to fruition.  What's killed MP for me is SBMM along with fabricated factors impacting gameplay - it doesn't feel like a fair and genuine game. Old COD's had connection-based matchmaking and then lobby balancing and everything felt good. Now you can't trust anything and the sweaty mechanics just further kill the fun. There's just so many elements that have killed it for me and many veterans of the franchise. 
 
DICE have a big opportunity with Battlefield 6 so they'd better not fuck it up. 

I'll bear it in mind. Not you being a dick, that goes without saying. This Tuesday while the second race is only 3 laps, its 3 long laps, so if you manage to do ok in race 1 I think you'll have a nice challenge in race 2 🙂

Thanks I'll have a look tomorrow the info on setting up the lobby is what I was after. I'll be on (Sun) so will have a look. 
As for coming last 😂 I'm definitely interested in seeing where I can get/ come against others.

Don't be too hasty, you've not seen how these go to think you're guaranteed last!
 
Its all about getting some laps on those tracks that Phil has put up on the event for Tuesday. I might be practicing tonight and maybe tomorrow so we can share a lobby where we can have the same settings as what it will be on Tuesday. If you're on your own when your online, then its about going to 'Lobby' and creating your own private lobby and selecting the relevant settings and the track in question. Any detail on it you're not too sure of @phil bottle or @Greboth can answer what exactly should the answer be on the lobby settings.

As I've finally got an opportunity to come last in your Tuesday races this week what do I need to try before then? 
I've pretty much only done arcade at this point I tried a couple of daily races but I've no real clue where you get some of the races and settings from. Hopefully I'll at least get this sorted on Tues.
