Yeah, I know what you mean. Sadly, our fascism is a really, really stupid form based around a teenager’s fantasy of a dictatorship. Trump doesn’t care about the potential of large private corporations usurping the throne so he let’s then run free as long as they kiss the ring.
If this managed to extend to decades instead of years (and somehow Trump lived that long), it’d be such a predictable ending for him.
Itch is right there down the street. GoG is generally decent too (but has the same cut).
But these kinds of things are never about litetal options, it’s about market capture.
I know he means “without the use of LLMs.”. That’s the big thing being forced down People’s throats that they don’t like.
I doubt people are rebelling against reinforcement learning for physically based animations, or prediction engines to forecast the weather
Man, I’m a laid off dev too. You really should know by now how scrutinous people are about AI anything.
You’re not even getting the 100 dollar monthly payments off steam. Forget “just use google translate like pre-AI”, why not just focus on one language and look into localization later if this game catches on? Now instead all languages will be scanning your game with a fine-toothed comb.
The issue is the low information voter isn’t hearing the reasonable thing at all. The media will spin Mamdami’s point (“mamdami hates jews!”), then top it off with this quote. So Tubeville sounds “strong” and “defending America”. They won’t ever mention Netanyahu at all, nor the genocide.
Low information voters won’t ever look farther than the spin anyway.
Fascism is heavily contradictory. Maybe Joe’ shop is watched carefully for making gay cakes, but WalMart will do whatever they want as long as they donate a ballroom every few years
They really will do or say anything but their job, huh?
If we’re being real, Mamdami hasn’t even gotten his big plans rolling yet. He passed an easy tax (for people owning houses that don’t even live in NYC) and fixed some potholes. His biggest win was bartering with the state government to get more support (instead of the dreaded “tax the rich”). The rest was normal stuff with good PR aimed at the 21st century. That’s it.
But these relics spent decades minmaxing for cable news and can’t look human on social media at all. They are used to saying words then doing nothing. The bar is that low and they are scared at a dude bending his knees (he hasn’t even jumped yet).
At least they are finally breaking their fake decorum and sayong the quiet parts out loud. Makes it so much easier to tear down in the long term.
6 dollars a minute to talk about politics on the phone. And then complain why no one wants to cuck them politically (and maybe literally in bed) while being a meek submissive woman in public. Truly a mystery.
Definitely a new lens. I’ll admit even then I was surprised reading about someone treating leftism as a kink, as if Tue idea of agreeing that the gig economy is unsustainable in a public setting is an absolute taboo.
On men’s porn sites—including gay porn sites—there is a complete absence of any kind of explicit politics. The only exception is the rare importation to support free speech." Though there are far fewer female-targeted sites, the authors say the ones that exist contain an abundance of messaging around issues like inclusivity and feminism.
I guess that’s not surprising. Unless the site itself is in danger, it’s not very “sexy” to care about politics. And sexuality should (but definitely doesn’t) run on a different axis to political philosophy. Everyone wants love in some form.
But alas, that was 2012. So much changed so quickly.
really hard to say. We first need to stop breaking our government and get adults back in the room. Then we need chains of actions that rebuilds trust amongst all of us, or enough of the apathetic to rule out the inevtiable MAGA propoganda. It’s not impossible because term limits are generally a positive topic (very few people like the idea of career politicians to begin with), but still an uphill battle
Alternatively, we could somehow garner massive support that even Trump can’t ignore. But that’s a harder order than the above.
ahh. I might have mixed up threads.
Yeah, the age thing doesn’t matter as much. You can technically be 30 and still be seriously hospitalized like this. You can be 80 and genuinely have the best interst for the country. it’s just more likely at 80 that you end up this way, on tubes and bitter at the world. T
he issues here is that represenatives have no incentive to actually do their job, or at least have minimum accountability from not doing their job as long as they are “the right people”. I beleive other countries have either recall processes for situations like this, or require X days per quarter in session before special elections can be triggered.
Most the pieces of shit usually don’t also insult their customer base on a regular basis on top of being pieces of shi
These day? Yeah they do. Sony is in the fuck around stage as we speak. Microsoft was long into the Find Out stage.
Valve’s credit is that they are pretty good at not saying the quiet parts out loud. But that should have been the bare minimum.
NoJ is great and you’re basically set for life if you get in.
NoA is mostly contractors, if you’re not high management or extremely specialized consulting, it’s no better than any other American AAA gaming studio. Really shows how culture and regulations keep companies honest.
Seriously. Sony went mask off and is killing goodwill, Microsoft wasn’t ever serious outside of the early 360 era. Steam has its own legal battles in court over how it abuses it monopoly.
Maybe Sonic was right. There truly is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Its a stupid legal argument too. Why can’t we just say “Nintendo chose to pay the tarriff cost, they don’t deserve a refund”?
Its both to some extent. Removing trump won’t fix the core issues but will stop the bleeding. Just look at how he’s still trying to get tarriffs in. That’s not a popular decision, even among MAGA these days. But it’s a cult.
Put it another way; cigarettes aren’t your core issue, but it sure does help a lot to stop smoking.
I’d personally say the problem isn’t term-limits; it’s the ignorance of the electorate
I’d say that it’s disenfranchisement and the fact that elections arent mandatory. That makes it more advantageous for the non-working class to spend time at townhalls and at voting booths.
A man working 2 jobs 12 hours a day to support his family simply isn’t going to have the same kind of presence as a business owner who makes his own hohrs or retirees who no longee work full time. And that applies even to voting. So guess how the voter skews?
But mandatory voting isn’t even in the conversion right now. Term limits are and has precedent. We gotta try something.
These ghouls do their dardnest to make sure remove voter choice as is.
Besides, term limits don’t need to be 8 years. Make it 3-4 terms for Senate and 10 for House. The main idea isn’t a revolving door, but to make sure fossils older than my dead grandpa aren’t still in Congress controlling my (theoretical) kids future.
for reasons I choose not to understand
If they fought half as hard to protect existing children as they do the unborn ones, we’d have the full Epstien files by now.
