#Concessions

I suppose they didn't have indoor concessions at Ebbets Field in those days. At any rate, these fans were buying their hot dogs and other snacks at stands outside the ballpark, October 6, 1920.

To president Trump and Vice president Kamala

To President Trump and his running mate JD Vance, I congratulate you on your victory. As a future vote, I am glad that people took action when I was unable to. I look forward to 4 more years of peace, prosperity and goodness for all. I believe you will continue to honor your commitments to life, liberty and the constitution. I thank you for your wonderful campaign. It was a joy to watch and see your policy unfold.

To vice President Kamala and former running mate Tim Walz. I thank you for your graceful concession. It takes a lot of strength, and I expect and applaud that for a former candidate of the commander in chief of the United States.

You put in a lot of work on your campaign, and I appreciate the time and effort. Though we may disagree on things, I am glad to have watched the show. So for now and the next four years. I welcome our returning president Donald J. Trump. I hope for a bright future for everyone. And to those grieving, I only have compassion. Thank you.

I need to get this out there.

Speaking as a fan of the series.

The wider and vocal part of the Halo fandom on the internet will NEVER be satisfied or pleased no matter what 343 Industries or any of the other developers do.

They will never, ever be grateful for any concessions you make, no matter how necessary or trivial they may be.

And they will nitpick any and all new stuff into oblivion under the guise of critique CONSTANTLY!

Often only because they were told to do so by YouTube rage-bait videos and clickbait bullshit. Or some mediocrities with a shitty podcast!

(To say NOTHING of how Marty O’Donnell has become an insane armchair developer with an ego the size of a fucking PLANET!)

They just want 343 Industries to make a Halo 3 reskin, how DARE they try ANYTHING new! If they try ANYTHING else it’s immediately derided as a soulless cashgrab. Automatically.

Every time.

Without fail.

And they’ll bitch about it for AGES!

“How dare 343 Industries do this! Unsubscribe! Unbravo Vince!”

I saw it with Halo 4, I saw it again with the Master Chief Collection, I saw it AGAIN with Halo 5, not so much with Halo Wars 2 thankfully but still, and I saw it AGAIN with Halo Infinite! (In spite of their very real issues, these complaints were constant)

To say nothing of their extremely short memories and nostalgia induced revisionism (a term I use loosely)

Every single time.

It’s exhausting.

They’re UNPLEASABLE!

It’s beyond pathetic!

*be me*

*tag you in ask games*

*see your wip titles post*

*feel torn between asking about something new and requesting a concessions snippet*

I'm gonna say dealer's choice! What are you most excited to share?

Since you asked for the "most excited" option, I went with one of my favorite upcoming parts of Concessions:

Thanks for the ask!

BECAUSE THE WORLD SHOULD KNOW

CONCESSIONS BY COLLEGES TO ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTERS

Harvard interim president Alan Garber reached an agreement with the student protest group Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine (HOOP). In exchange for an end to the encampment, Garber agreed to:

Facilitate a meeting with the chair of the Corporation Committee on Shareholder Responsibility and other university officials to address questions about the endowment

Meet, along with the dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, to hear students’s perspectives on academic matters related to the Middle East

Retract suspensions of students participating in the encampment and expedite reinstatement proceedings once the encampment was removed (note: the protest encampment was expanded to the graduation commencement lawn, with Garber warning that repercussions would become more consequential as graduation approached. In the end, Harvard prevented 15 students from graduating.)

Meet with members of the Harvard management company regarding disclosure about investments with Israeli companies and divestment from them

Discuss the establishment of a Center for Palestine Studies at Harvard

Demonstrators reached a deal with President Michael Schill, Provost Kathleen Hagerty and Vice President of Student Affairs Susan Davis to end the encampment after five days of demonstrations. The university agreed to: 

Permit protests and gatherings at Deering Meadow (Northwestern’s traditional gathering place) through June 1, the final day of classes for the spring quarter. However, only Northwestern students, faculty and staff will be allowed in the demonstration area, unless otherwise authorized by the university

Allow the Northwestern Divestment Coalition (i.e. the encampment organizers) to leave one “aid tent” on Deering Meadow

Allow students to use (approved) devices to project or amplify sound

Advise employers not to rescind job offers for students “engaging in speech protected by the First Amendment”

Support two visiting Palestinian faculty per year for two years

Pay the cost of attendance for five Palestinian undergraduates to attend Northwestern

Fundraise for the above two concessions “beyond this current agreement”  

Provide immediate temporary space for Middle East and North African (MENA) and Muslim students to gather

Provide and renovate a house for MENA and Muslim students as soon as possible, with the expectation that it will be completed by 2026

Engage students in a process to ensure “additional support” for Jewish and Muslim students

Include “broad input” from students on university dining services, including residential and retail vendors on campus, regarding Israeli-made products 

Provide a conduit for students to engage with the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees

Re-establish an Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility in the fall, which will include students, faculty and staff

Commit to answering questions from any “internal stakeholder” about specific university holdings held currently or within the last quarter to “the best of its knowledge or to the extent legally possible” within 30 days.

Read the whole list. It's sickening.
