  • Is he saying owned by the US government or by a US oligarch?

    I don't think he sees an appreciable difference

  • ... You think it's embarrassing that I think that advertising works?? You're hilariously naive to think that it doesn't.

    Like I said, sure, we have a higher standard of living than most countries, but there are plenty of options when it comes to moving somewhere with a higher-value currency. And any other option will probably come with some form of socialized medicine and better protections for workers. Oh and they won't have an incoming administration promising to deport everyone en masse and keep them in camps in the meantime.

  • I generally try to avoid doing the whole "American propaganda" shtick, but in this case... I mean come on. We make some of the most popular, ubiquitous media of any country in the world, and the vast majority of it shows us loving freedom and being cool as hell.

    I won't deny that our standard of living is among the highest in the Americas, but the fact that things are getting worse all the time doesn't seem to matter to most people

  • You know, if this rednote thing really takes off, I don't think I can believe the whole "fediverse is too complicated" thing anymore. People are moving to an app that isn't even fully in English. That's WAY more complicated than picking a random instance out of a list (or more likely, just going to the one big one). I'm getting to where I think the vast majority of people just click on what's advertised no matter how stupid it is, and without ads (not people spreading things by word of mouth, I mean actual "ooh, shiny" ads) mainstream uptake of the fediverse will never happen. Good luck outspending the big corps on that.

    Might be for the best anyway. The type of people who respond to ads probably aren't particularly fun to engage with.

  • Yeah I can't even log in on metapixl

  • I haven't checked it out yet but "loops" is supposed to be that

  • Not in their minds. Making something good would cost more this quarter. Might make more profit when the game comes out, but that probably takes years and requires hiring talented game designers, so instead they choose to make a cheap game now and release it to the same type of people who buy Madden every year.

    I mean, look at Halo Infinite. Guarantee the execs are wishing they'd released some garbage like a year after Halo 5 instead of spending all that time just to make it passably okay. I doubt that quarter's sales numbers would be significantly lower.

  • Being food motivated is exactly why I do this sometimes... Everything tastes better when you're hungry, and you can eat more of it

  • The only reason Facebook doesn't sound dumb is that we've been saying it for like 15 years

  • Took me a while to realize there is no white cat in this pic

  • I wonder if switching up the order more often would be a good way to remind everyone that every letter is a separate group of people

  • Mmm tar flavor

  • Yeah ceramic makes me crazy. I had two old ceramic plates I took from my parent's house more than 5 years ago and have been regularly using them to reheat leftovers ever since.

    Last week, one of them shattered during the reheat. Same temp as always (300F), nothing special about the food I put on it (rice, so that was extra fun to clean up), it just decided 5 years in was the time to give up the ghost. Fuckin peesa shit.

  • I could be wrong but as far as I remember the computer guy in Dredd (2012) was using Linux and had openssh running in the terminal

  • Or use a different frontend like eddrit

  • Less forgotten, more intentionally misinterpreted. They penalize as antisemites anyone critical of the state of Israel, while simultaneously allowing this political party to exist. Assholes.

  • Oh ok unceremoniously drops knives directly into boat
