Everyone that I've convinced to eat ribs with a fork and knife actually likes it better that way.

You don't accidentally eat gristle, the bones don't slip out of your hands, and if you have a mustache you don't end up with BBQ sauce all over it (This is a serious problem.

Careful with your response guys, let's not hurt the big bad business owner's feelings.

Question for you mang.
If you were president of the USA or some other powerful person, monarch, etc, would you "force" your constituents to eat ribs with a fork and knife since that's the "correct" way?

Oh, no. Go right ahead an say what you're going to say. You're definitely not going to hurt my feelings.

The only place on Earth where my status is not miles above yours is here and if you think for one single second that I actually care about you or anything that you have to say to me, then you are very sadly mistaken.

That's a really tough one.

In that hypothetical scenario, my initial instinct tells me that I would probably have some of them publicly executed to put some fear into the masses so they stop doing it.

Does that answer your question?

My worldview is that the world is a pretty messed up place and I don't have enough money to make a real impact, so I try my best to get a handful of people to improve their lives.

My business, at it's peak before the pandemic, only had 12 employees and me, and unfortunately it's scaled down quite a bit right now.

Everyone that I've convinced to eat ribs with a fork and knife actually likes it better that way.

You don't accidentally eat gristle, the bones don't slip out of your hands, and if you have a mustache you don't end up with BBQ sauce all over it (This is a serious problem.)

Also, to be clear: It's a publication, we come up with new stuff every day.



Honestly, I actually would prefer to boycott Blizzard over things like how they ruined WOW.

They did a great job of creating a really fun game and then completely trashed it multiple times.

If the employees are getting mistreated they should just quit. I posted this here just because it's relevant to the forum and I interpreted it as more of "Oh so, they're about to bring the pain to their employees. That will teach them for showing up and working hard."

Some people (especially gamers) misinterpret AB as being a great company to work for and no, it's the typical corporate culture grind.

After working there for years, their employees will sooner or later start to see people go.

Some people will realize the reason that some of them are gone is because they died and it's sad because they never really did anything with their life.

It's like they traded their life away to have a few lines of code in a game or a virtual art asset.

Also: You really need to stop eating with your fingers, it really is super gross. Especially something like ribs. It's definitely broadcasts the message to others that "You are a peon with no self respect."

If I was in a situation where I was surrounded by a group of people eating that way, I would think "Wow these people are low class" and I would get up and abruptly leave.
