Arbitration is overwhelmingly resolved in favor of corporations. The company pays the arbitrator, which means they will generally rule in their favor if they want to continue to be hired. Complainants get a fraction of the amount of money they'd get from a court case from arbitration, and it keeps the public from knowing what the company did. That's why so many companies are trying to force arbitration clauses on consumers.

It's speculated that the reason why Steam backed down from their clause in this case is that it was getting too expensive for them. Paying so many individual arbitrators and lawyers was costing them way more than resolving a single class action lawsuit. Hopefully more companies are forced to come to this realization in the future.

Edit: Article about why they may have removed the clause TL;DR Valve doesn't want to deal with 50,000 separate court cases at one time

You have fallen through reality into the Trekrooms.

Pumping room? You mean the closet with the free yummy milk?

Hey, it's me, the annoying kid. Sorry about being right and also breathing near you.

Musk wants the Terran Empire, not the Federation

Everything HR does is for the benefit of the company. They do not do anything to genuinely help employees. You are a replaceable cog and the moment they decide you're not useful, you will be tossed out. Never trust them or the structures they put in place.

Not an incel but someone on the trans-and-women-hating pick me pipeline: Got into a fight with a Reddit mod about autism. I'm autistic and ended up arguing with a sub's mod about how not all autistic people are special snowflake tumblerinas. Left such a bad taste in my mouth that I stopped going to the sub, which was my main source of hate content. Let me get exposed to other viewpoints and ultimately I came out as nonbinary after previously saying nonbinary people weren't real.

Awesome. Do something about the slave labor prisoners have to do in some states next. Then maybe fix commissary account fees and prices. And make sure prisoners can get mail, including books, since some prisons are banning that now. Prisons are currently an insight into exactly how hard corporations would screw us all over if they had more control of our lives.

I'm pretty sure all of those things specifically say "refrigerate after opening" on the bottle.

When I was a teenager, my parents signed a permission slip to change my card from a child's card to an unrestricted adult card because I was there so much and didn't much care if I read "inappropriate" books. The modern persecution of libraries and censoring of content is absolutely ridiculous. It's hard enough to get kids to look away from their phones. Now they're not even allowed to check out a book without their parents.

It goes both ways. I just leaned over and said "mrrow" to my cat, which she immediately responded to with her own "mrrrrow".

Imagine how upset they'd be to see their homes marked out in a "Satanic" app with notes like 'has three young children'.
