Let’s ignore the fact that these protestors’ entire credo is: “The shitty thing you’re watching me physically do right now? it’s not my fault! Blame the corporations / capitalism / etc!”
Yes, you have our attention. But like when the dog finally catches the car it’s chasing… now what? Or did they never think past the step of doing destructive / self-destructive shit to piss people off?
The only footage is of the aftermath. But if you want to disregard the eyewitness reports, then I guess you can be you.
Here’s a CNN report (you have to watch the video) where two eyewitnesses say the protestor tried to punch out the glass. I mean… I’m not accusing the person of being smart, trying to break bulletproof glass with their fists.
And I guess there’s always a chance this guy is from that other climate activist group that goes around vandalizing high-profile art, and then raving about how we’re killing the planet.
Oh, and the fun part. I 100% think we should reduce fossil fuel emissions.
Unfortunately, the Just Stop Oil geniuses are so hellbent on being attention-seeking tools that they destroy all of the credibility behind their cause.
a visitor to the Louvre Museum in Paris tried to smash the glass protecting the famous painting, and then smeared what looked like cake frosting across the surface.
“We hate oil! Let’s block traffic and force thousands of people to idle, burning more oil than they would’ve if we hadn’t blocked them!”
Absolute brainless bellends.
And yes, the actual art is fine. But they still do actual damage to other parts of the museums – spray-painting walls and destroying frames & display cases. And when they threw crap at the Mona Lisa, they tried breaking through the glass protecting the painting first, so they could destroy the actual painting.
Excellent deduction. I was totally saying they were the same thing. /s
Blocking emergency vehicles on roadways and damaging pieces of art aren’t “interrupting computer toy showcases” either (“God, people who play videogames… what a bunch of fucking losers! Right, /c/games?”). But “yay” for that, too.
I suppose I could’ve been less of a butthole about it…
But I just look at the letter grade on games like Devil May Cry or Final Fantasy 13 and think “why is that even here?”.
Then I just pay no attention to it at all. It’s not like a bad grade means you beat the level any less.
And if they base trophies off it, then I don’t try getting all the trophies. More often than not, getting a Platinum Trophy on a game sucks all of the fun out of it anyways. Hard pass.
Probably for the best. The Deck certification process on games would probably be annoying if they had a whole bunch of revisions with only like 10% difference in performance.
Wait a few years and make the next one a meaningful jump.
