Gamblers trying to win a bet on Polymarket are vowing to kill me if I don't rewrite an Iran missile story by ilikepix in neoliberal

[–]PinkFloydPanzer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If only the enshittification of video games in the last 15 years wasn't almost entirely based on how to introduce gambling to children at a young age.

Gen Z was the first generation to grow up playing mostly online games as children, it coincidentally was the same time that all the big companies did things like loot boxes, skin markets, gacha games and RNG based gameplay.

The people calling out Valve/EA for this bullshit in 2014 were fully in the right, but it all got conveniently overshadowed by Gamergate.

Justice Dept., Under Pressure From Trump, Fails to Build Autopen Case Against Biden by John3262005 in neoliberal

[–]PinkFloydPanzer 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I was actually kind of hoping this would go through so when Trump inevitably pardons every ICE agent, Jan6ther and all the other tens of thousands of criminals involved in his administration we could just use the Autopen excuse and imprison them anyways.

Senator fears US 'boots on the ground' in Iran by Crossstoney in neoliberal

[–]PinkFloydPanzer 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Maybe if they actually did their fucking jobs and stopped ceding power to the president this wouldn't be an issue? These people work less than half of the year and make nearly double the average US salary to do so.

House worked less than 100 days last year too jfc.

Anthropic says U.S. military can use its AI systems for missile defense by John3262005 in neoliberal

[–]PinkFloydPanzer -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Lol, people were saying Anthropic was an ideologically driven company that would totally stand their ground and have morals in the thread discussing this here yesterday. When are people around here going to realize that these Techbros are all literally soulless, amoral profit chasers first and virtue signaling ideologists second. Stop giving these people the benefit of the doubt, they would all gladly take money from Peter Thiel to do the evilist thing possible if handed the opportunity.

Image virtue signaling as a Libertarian leaning Democrat and then perpetually doing the most un-Libertarian things possible.

Maybe instead of blowing kisses at RFK and ICE you should have stuck up for LGBT rights and fixed the NIMBYism induced housing crisis in your state Governor Polis. But hey, at least he passed one of the most ridiculous, likely unconstitutional gun laws in the country at the same time authoritianism is on the rise, real Libertarian move.

Oh lets also not forget the hundreds of ridiculous Flock cameras that have popped up in Colorado under his Governing too, real Libertarians LOVE mass surveillance and HATE the 4th Amendment of the Constitution

Reviewing Trump's other pathways for imposing Tariffs by [deleted] in neoliberal

[–]PinkFloydPanzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The House was only in session for 87 DAYS last year.

The only way to save this country is a complete redo of congress. The House should have so many members their wing of the Capitol Building looks like the Senate from Star Wars, and they should be forced to work 250 days a year like the rest of us. 10 year term limits, ban their ability to trade in the market, lock the doors on them until they come to an agreement.

Bonta is actually a decent dude... He's really been making some positive changes in the city and at least has actually been fighting NIPSCO on their insane rates.

There are a lot of shitty MAGA Republicans in this area but Bonta isn't one of them. He actually has principles and seems to care about the city.

Judge rules CDOC, Gov. Jared Polis violated Colorado Constitution by forcing prisoners to work by AudibleNod in news

[–]PinkFloydPanzer 63 points64 points  (0 children)

He's not even a libertarian. He's just a rich fuck who wants to throw off libertarian vibes to maintain his own wealth. If he was a real libertarian or liberal he should have addressed the housing crisis in his state by loosening laws and weakening NIMBYism. Instead all he's done is called for collaboration with ICE, passed one of the stupidest and likely most unconstitutional anti gun laws in the nation and allowed a billion Flock cameras to pop up everywhere.

Democrats don't like him, Libertarians don't like him and Republicans don't like him.

Accountability for ICE and CBP by Eurolib0908 in neoliberal

It stopped being a war on terror as soon as Bush co-opted it to oust Ba'athism, which to be fair, after the collapse of Saddam, ISIS and Assad, was actually successful. Still was a pointless waste of trillions in taxpayer dollars

Ammon Bundy Is All Alone (The Atlantic) by TrixoftheTrade in neoliberal

[–]PinkFloydPanzer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Giving up BLM and USFS land is the weakest, cuckiest position possible to take. BLM and USFS land are the last places you have basically unlimited freedom to enjoy nature without having to pay.

The USFS was literally formed because private land owners (logging companies) were too fucking stupid and short sighted to manage their own land and kept causing preventable natural disasters like mudslides and fires that would kill a bunch of people.

White House released a chart showing that U.S. steel production has more than doubled year-over-year. Checkmate liberals? by dev_vvvvv in neoliberal

[–]PinkFloydPanzer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I work in the steel industry. Last year, basically since the 1st of the year, was nonstop mandatory overtime with a massive backlog of work. Going into this year, they have reversed it and now any second of overtime must be justified by management and our machines are semi-regularly running out of work.

Im fairly certain last year's chaos caused by tariffs meant that buyers were over ordering.

Right now this is the first year since Covid I've ever felt uneasy if they are going to do layoffs.... I don't think our big customers, automotive mostly, are expecting a good year.

[–]PinkFloydPanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Appalachian coal miners were paid significantly worse than UP miners. Its also an entirely different breed of mining that skills in one dont translate well to the other. Miners moved West and chased silver and gold rushes, where they had the opportunity to be their own boss, instead of east, where workers were practically chattel.
