In a world where silence is complicity, businesses and individuals need to deliver concrete steps to show that #BlackLivesMatter. The racism and injustice that has led to civil unrest across the USA right now, has given us all much pause for thought. As we pay attention to what’s happening in the USA it’s become increasingly apparent we must focus even harder on what we do here. It is clear that racism and injustice are not exclusively American issues but global problems.


Many of us are looking at how we ‘show up’, and go beyond a post or tweet to take action, right now, to improve the situation. It's easy to know what to say but harder to know how to do the right thing.

What we do know is that the people in our business care deeply about diversity and inclusion. We know that we want to take an active stance against racism and injustice.


We also know we haven’t shown up in a way that represents how much we care and it’s sad that it’s taken these tragic events for us to reflect on that. We all need and can do more, but for us at Network N, here’s where we will begin:

  • With immediate effect we will be taking steps to increase the visibility of BAME and other minority voices within our editorial output. As a first step we will allocate an additional 25% editorial freelance budget to commission content from minority writers. And we commit to reexamining the mix of our editorial voices every quarter.
  • We will donate $250,000 of advertising space to charities and educational organisations already fighting racism and injustice globally. While we work with our teams to identify the best partners we will, in the first instance extend this offer to two global organisations; Amnesty International and Solidar.
  • We need to be better allies but we don’t yet know how. We will host an open allyship forum for our employees, partners and broader network on a video call. We invite and encourage as many stakeholders as possible to attend. For those that can’t we will post the session online and encourage further feedback.
As an industry and individuals, we are often focused on community mental health and actively speak out in ways to eradicate toxicity in our gaming communities. But these issues dwarf our gaming worlds. We may not take all of the right actions at all of the right moments, but now is absolutely the time for us to start.

Thank you

Tim and James

COO and CEO, Network N.

With following this the last couple of days and seeing all the shitposts, doomers, optimists, those with questions and with my username in mind, I wanted to give my retarded 2 cents:
I honestly don't think these riots are the start of boogaloo, HOWEVER, the worst thing any of us can do once this dies down is to be complacent. If I learned anything in 2020, its that the end of the world isn't enough for the left to stop hating us, so I don't believe it is the slightest bit wise to assume things will get better till after a war. Again, do not get complacent after this dies down, everyone who mentioned getting a gun, go thru with it, just don't listen to the glowies. Shit is gonna get real REAL soon and we need to be ready, the longer the boogaloo waits the worst life will be for us, as we need to start the change, the left are just gonna keep doing what they do.
Sorry for all the gay sperging, my username should have been taken as a warning.
 
Literally what the fuck is happening we got too much shit going on now.

The stunt was organized by fugitive Chinese billionaire businessman Miles Guo and former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon.

In a live stream from a boat in New York Harbor on the anniversary of the 1989 anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, Guo said that "from today the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will no longer be the lawful government of China.”

Bannon, meanwhile, said a renegade organization that calls itself the "Rule of Law Movement" aims to "rid the Chinese Communist Party of its dictatorship over the Chinese people" and replace it Western law such as is in Great Britain and the United States.

"The elimination of the Chinese Community Party is essential...to bring peace to the international community and all mankind," Bannon said while reading a "Declaration of the New Federal State of China."
 
From what I'm seeing on the news there's at least less looting and rioting going on in Los Angeles, so that's better. The only arrests I've seen now are either police chases or protesters staying out past curfew and allowing themselves to get arrested for it.
Protests in other areas in California are going along peacefully because police are getting stricter about it.
 
Fellas genuine question. Do you think the BLM movement will "work" as in reduce racism and police brutality?
Lmfao, hell no. It's going to do the opposite. As someone put it earlier in the thread:
And how can we solve racism? Well, we have done a pretty good job of it, but unfortunately stuff like this sets us back quite a bit. Watching the timeline of people posting in this thread, especially anyone who was around at the first 50 pages to now, you can see a very marked trend of "man, what happened to Floyd was fucked up, we should do something about it" to "fuck niggers, 1488".
 
Is this old?

EXCLUSIVE ON TAPE: We at @nationalfile infiltrated a Democratic Socialists of America training call for Floyd protesters. A leader says "I firmly believe that quote unquote looting and rioting is nonviolent" and stands in "solidarity" with those "actions"


“I firmly believe that quote unquote looting and rioting is nonviolent,” said one of the participants on the DSA call. “That’s my personal belief. I think that we need to change the narrative."

“I still, and a lot of our groups, still actually support and stand in solidarity for people who are taking those actions. So it’s so important to change the language to say uprisings, to say redistributing wealth, and not recreate this narrative of peaceful versus violent, because we know who the true violent people are. They are police. And we are responding to that. So just want to make sure folks are clear on that.”

Black communities are going to be gunning to bash any antifa peeps for sure now, after they hear this.

We barely have law as it is, in fact we are turning into an anarcho-communist hemisphere as we speak.
 
So America is just gonna sail right by the police brutality question, and go right into the "All white people are evil and the system is corrupt and racist" narrative? Again?

Cause that's a damn shame. Police brutality is something we should actually talk about, but even mentioning that seems to get you labeled a racist if you don't immediately say the brutality was racially motivated.
 
When a regular horse hears fireworks in the distance its get distressed,in the centre of a fucking riot :stress:
Never know, they could be gun trained horses. That said, even gun trained horses don't like the hiss of a backpack sprayer. I learned this the hard way.
But...what on earth does all of this have to do with the Bureau of Land Management?
Thank god, I'm not the only one.
It's a .300WIN 700 Rem in an AI chassis as you noted. That picture was posted earlier with context. The guy is USSS. He's a member of the their counter sniper teams.
That doesn't look like an AICS to me, but it's definitely a magnum bolt 700 and AICS pattern mags.
 
Buddy, I have this thing called money that I already used to buy all the consoomer goods I want or need. I get it for working my job.
Yeah but you could sell them on eBay.

When the virus hit, I went around postering stores I thought were going to close, saying I would buy their inventory. Had some takers, that's all I'm doing right now.

Did not expect an abandonment of property rights. My profits could have been much closer to 100%.
