  • Valve engineer says Steam Machine performance beats 70% of PCs, and can play all games

    Jump

  • I'm one of them, my Cpu and motherboard are both almost 10 years old. I updated most other parts but don't want to mess around with those core parts in fear of damaging something.

    At the moment I'm either considering finally making the jump to a new case, motherboard and Cpu with the parts I replaced over the years or I will buy a steam machine.

  • Trump's Team Is Scrambling to Scare GOP to Defect on Epstein Files Release

    Jump

  • It's starting to sound like some republican senators are actually standing up to him at times. You can question their motivations but it's something I guess. I hope the vote for the Epstein files makes it all the way to his desk and then he has no choice. Release them and have everyone read about how guilty he is, or not release them and have everyone know that he's guilty and hiding his crimes.

  • Sanders calls deal to end government shutdown a "disaster"

    Jump

  • Perhaps. Or he could rally a whole bunch of the republican voters to vote for him as well. At this point you're basically choosing between 2 evils every election, the borderline nazi evil and the complacent evil. Either one is not getting things done the way they should and maybe a solid 3rd candidate could change that.

    Jump

  • I really wish Bernie would enter the presidential as an independent. Not necessarily as the presidential pick but maybe as VP, given his age. Although if you see how the annoying orange has been doing recently I think Bernie could take over even in 4 years from now and be better.

  • Denmark to ban social media for children under 15

    Jump

  • Regardless of the practicality of enforcing this I think it's a good idea. Most social media is very predatory and do not contribute in any positive way to a child that's growing up. I've seen what especially TikTok does to a young kids brain, it's almost like it's reprogrammed to not have any focus and the addictive part of it makes them always want more TikTok.

  • The FAA's order to cut flights due to the government shutdown is set to take effect

    Jump

  • Maybe this will finally get those privileged boomers that voted the annoying orange in off their asses. Although I also think a lot of them probably don't get many visitors anymore since they're so extremely Maga...

  • Trump's bright view of the economy doesn't match what voters are seeing

    Jump

  • It's also interesting when they say "I don't watch the news or keep up with politics, it all doesn't matter anyway" only to then complain when it does start to matter for them. I haven't heard them about the whole healthcare price increases shenanigans yet but I'm sure it'll hit them sometime soon. I agree that the news can be depressing at times but overall it's better to be occassionally depressed on up-to-date on things then to be ignorant. I saw a video that perfectly illustrated this the other day, this one about Bernie Sanders visiting Virginia. So many people there were saying "Now that I'm actually listening to him he's a really nice and sensible guy". Drives me insane.

  • Trump's bright view of the economy doesn't match what voters are seeing

    Jump

  • Most of the people I talked to about it when I visited my in-laws in Michigan a week ago were saying that they thought people on SNAP were people that couldn't be bothered to work... So not everyone has gotten the message yet. Tbf their county is definitely a very red one but it still amazed me how sheltered they were from things. I somehow know more about US politics as a Dutchie then they do. They had no idea that most SNAP recipients are people working minimum wage jobs that can't get by otherwise due to minimum wage being so little.

    Hell, they didn't even know what the no kings protest was about...

  • How couples meet in the US

    Jump

  • I fully agree with you. There's a reason why people that are terminally online often have pretty extreme ideas.

    It really feels like it's getting more and more difficult to have a good discussion where you can disagree on something but still talk to each other about it. People are in their echo chambers and the dissonance of that to the opinion of someone else is so large that they can't do anything but call it fake or wrong.

  • YouTube will let users booted for 'repeated violations' of COVID, elections policies 'rejoin'

    Jump

  • I guess it might be about time to finally cancel my YouTube premium over this. I already was a bit on the fence after they bumped up the price, this might be the final straw. There's already plenty of misinformation on the platform as is, no need to let even more proven spreaders on there.

  • The Netherlands will withdraw from 2026 Eurovision if Israel is allowed to compete

    Jump

  • As a Dutch person, I'm very glad we've made this decision. After reading about Ireland doing the same I didn't think we would but I'm glad that we did and also that we've decided on this somewhat early instead of waiting to see what the "bigger" countries are doing like we usually do with these things.

  • RFK Jr accused of ‘reckless disregard for science and the truth’ in Senate hearing

    Jump

  • I'm glad they're giving him all the "words of strong disapproval" before doing nothing about it and letting him do whatever he wants. Good stuff...

  • Ambulance carrying a crash victim crashes in L.A., drawing a crash investigator — who also crashes

    Jump

  • Or, get this: make it so people don't take the car. Most of the accidents that involve serious injury or death involve cars or some other fast, motorized vehicle. Why not make more bike and pedestrian infrastructure? I also live in the Netherlands and even here I'd say there are very different approaches based on which city/town you're in. I really wish they'd make my city more accessible with public transport, there are certain routes where taking public transport to another part of town takes almost 2-3 times as long as taking a car. Why is that? Why not fund public transport and non-motorized traffic infrastructure even more?

  • Mamdani, AOC and other DSA members should leave party: Dem Rep. Tom Suozzi insists

    Jump

  • They could become the traditional republicans with what their views are these days.

  • Meta to stop its AI chatbots from talking to teens about suicide

    Jump

  • Oh good, I'm sure that will make things a lot better... I honestly feel most of the world would be better off without AI...

  • Call your rep today

    Jump

  • Nah not if you're right wing. Then it's one of the first places to start cutting budgets, together with Healthcare and elderly care. You want people to have less education, makes them easier to manipulate and keep under control.

  • Replace PBS with indoctrination

    Jump

  • I'd say that it's not the media's job to inform us anymore, it's more to influence us and keep us docile. There are some small publications who still stick to informing people and telling the truth as objectively as they can but those are becoming fewer and fewer.

    It sucks that it is this way but in a society where aunt Jo on Facebook can have a bigger audience spouting her nonsense then the local newspaper it is the way it is.

  • Suspect in Austin Target shooting that killed 3 people was found naked and holding Bible

    Jump

  • People would freak the fuck out if he was holding a Koran instead but because it's a Bible it's socially acceptable... Silly stuff.

  • Replace PBS with indoctrination

    Jump

  • And somehow it still works. Let that sink in...
