I don’t think they suck at forecasting…I think they are probably exceptional at forecasting but willfully lie about project costs when submitting bids for projects in order to come under the competition and win the contract. There doesn’t seem to be any penalties for this, so why would they stop?
Like any kind of contest, finding rules violations is hard and not foolproof. It’s like sports that forbid using steroids - competitors do regularly take those substances while training, then quit taking them for competition and go uncaught. Competitors who are discovered later to have been violating rules are stripped of titles.
That said, I don’t think it’s a very controversial concept that a beauty pageant shouldn’t be a contest about who could afford the best surgeons. Well - as I said earlier I think beauty pageants are absurd to begin with, but if they have to exist I don’t think it should be a contest between surgeons.
I think it would have been fair to have a rule saying “no surgical modifications”… because doing things like facelift, nose-job, breast/buttox implants, cheek lifts, wrinkle removal, etc, are obviously unfair advantages (in a beauty contest) for those who have the money pay for it; and having a generic blanket rule like that would have accomplished the same thing they were trying to accomplish without being so blatantly transphobic… so a rule like what they have only proves that they are both despicable AND dumb. The entire notion of beauty pageants is outdated and stupid if you ask me.
For me it was the AMA that was the last straw. It was so disingenuous - all the responses had been pre-written and were copied and pasted from other previously written stock, the only answered questions were cherry-picked from reddit shills, and the several dozen most upvoted questions were completely ignored and never responded to. The very concept of “AMA” is an idea that was birthed on reddit, for reddit, and the foundational core tenets of AMA were ignored and disregarded. Ignored and disregarded…is also exactly what they think of their users, subreddit moderators, and 3rd party developers.
What users are voluntarily pro-spez (and by voluntarily, I mean their paychecks aren’t jeopardized by dissention)?
I have met plenty of anti-spez users, and I have met plenty of users who just DNGAF, but I have yet to meet a single actual bona fide user who is ‘pro-spez’.
