Ever since stock buybacks became the bog standard default, and P/E ratios are between ‘significantly elevated’ and ‘completely fucking delusional’…

At what point do we start to consider that capitalist economies aren’t broken, but that they never worked in the first place?

Alex Karp’s behavior is much better explained by cocaine. He may be neurodivergent, but he was still high as giraffe pussy.

Why is Linux different than Microsoft? Most of the games I play aren’t “Linux” games, but the identical Windows software running through a compatibility layer on Linux.

The Steam client on Linux has the same “workshop” tab for adding mods. It’s not in every game, but that’s true on Windows too.

you need to be able to communicate

Not necessarily. Piloting the weapon into position with internal navigation, then having the thing recognize and engage targets autonomously is becoming common with drones.

Also, you can just trail a very long wire behind the thing to communicate with home base. This is how torpedoes have worked going back to the Cold War.

That keyboard looks really nice, but the placement of the R CTRL would cause me fits.

WAT

I thought you meant that the right wing was covering up the religion of the attacker, not the hero, sorry.

I think graduation ceremonies should include a speech from the lowest ranked graduate. Let’s hear from both sides.

You know how you right click something and can choose “save” or “copy”? That used to be two hole jobs.

Competition in the games industry causing the slop to fall to the bottom!

Do you really believe that markets and competition creates better products and services? How do you square that with basic observations about how the world is? If success was linked to quality, then Subway would be the worlds best food; Clash of Clans the best video game; and Tesla the best car.

The markets of the world say that Nvidia is worth more than the Pharmaceutical Industry.

Every-time the owners try to pass off their revenue streams as a human right we need to remind them that “public squares” are publicly owned.

Nationalize Facebook!

If we don’t make sacrifices to the Dragon, it’ll eat the village!

That’s what you sound like. AI doesn’t exist, but it’s going to take your job anyway. And it doesn’t matter if you support it or not. Your devotion and support will not be rewarded.

LOL, You mean the letters C and P can stand for lots of stuff. At first I thought you meant the term “child porn” was ambiguous.

PBS Space Time is routinely over my head and I love it.

It’s time we stopped pretending that Israel was a little pocket of Europe and recognize that it’s a brutal theocratic regime. The biggest difference between Israel and States like Saudi Arabia and Iran is the branding.

I hate graphic depictions of sexual violence. Moves like “A Clockwork Orange”, “The Accused”, and “Requiem for a Dream” all have scenes that I wish I didn’t remember.

Content warnings are information that allow media watchers to make informed decisions. People who are annoyed by them are just contrarian assholes with the teenage mentality that gore and cusswords are cool.

Seeing something objectionable in media is not a “growth through suffering”. It is also not censorship. Nobody ever became a Nazi simply by reading Mien Kampf. (It’s usually complaining about made up shit like cancel-culture that pushes the dim-whited into the far-right).

There should have been a content warning on this thread: graphic depictions of boomer philosophy.

I’ve dropped a couple of channels because I suspected the presenter was a choad. I once unsubed from a movie-review channel because the presenter made a joke about “games journalism”.

Another popular channel had (has) amazing content about historical guns. I first got a bad taste in my mouth because he covered some shit from Rhodesia. But I decided to give the benefit of the doubt. I know that collecting Nazi artifacts doesn’t imply politics. Then the channel decided to cover “anti-riot” “crowd control” type weapons during the George Floyd Summer protests. Nah, I’m out.

Beast by Benchley. I’m still mad at the time I wasted.

If you use it correctly, it’s just about as private as you can get.

There are limits to keep in mind. The internet itself is an American military technology (as is TOR). So if you’re hiding something more delicate than porn history I would get educated.

Do digital store fronts play-through all the games, expansions, and DLC they list on their stores? This doesn’t seem practical.
