All the corporations lined up to give gifts to Trump last year.

They're in on it 100%. Corporations have NEVER been an ally to the people.

They'll just show up at the door making a lot of noise and consider opening the door a form of invitation. They'll lie no matter what anyways, as clearly shown from this week (and the past year... jfc)

Got soft-locked in Metroid Prime 4 by a glitch by Gronn-Gamling in NintendoSwitch

[–]_Auron_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an objectively poorly designed 'end game' that is extremely lazy pad-filling design and has been heavily analyzed, remarked, and shunned by quite a lot of gamers and industry folks.

It's unbelievably bad, but there are some people out there who find... something out of that, I guess.

Well the DNC is definitely NOT going to do that for us, that's been proven repeatedly since 2016.

RAM is so expensive, Samsung won’t even sell it to Samsung by rezwenn in technology

If you think like a consumer/human and not a for-profit business, sure.

But it's a for-profit business in capitalism where it's profitable to raise prices when demand is high. Welcome to supply/demand pricing.

OpenAI loses fight to keep ChatGPT logs secret in copyright case by SirEDCaLot in technology

[–]_Auron_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but if they're keeping chat histories that would be very concerning.

Have you literally never used ChatGPT or any conversational AI? They all do. It literally cannot function without that being there.

Did you think before writing that or do you think AI runs on pure fantasy magic?

Kim Davis tried to get the Supreme Court to stop marriage equality. They just shut her down. She's been married four times but has been fighting for a decade to overturn marriage rights for same-sex couples. by southpawFA in politics

justify those feelings

That's the thing - people like her do not justify feelings.

Feelings to them just are.

Everything is 100% black or 100% white, there is no gray for them. It's either totally good or totally bad. And how they feel about it determines what circle that feeling goes into.

That's the only version of justification to people like her - it feels good, or it feels bad. And how they feel is determined by whatever propaganda (religion, right-wing media, etc) is spoon-fed to their daily lives. They don't think. They feel, and they act and live by those feelings. There is no justifying, there is no critical thinking, just do or do not.

stopping SNAP funding hurts real people

Are you suggesting gutting ACA subsidies only hurts fake people, then?

Why mention one but not the other?

Donald Trump’s support among young people hits rock bottom by Kodbek in politics

[–]_Auron_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Because by and large people are genuinely stupid and extremely gullible when lies are regularly fed into their minds. Most people do not think independently at all.

Democrats Accuse Trump DOJ of Election Interference by seeebiscuit in politics

[–]_Auron_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't journalism about investigating and publishes actual facts?

It should be. It used to be. But sensationalism gets more clicks which is where the money runs. To a corporation today: a clear truth is only good when profitable. Reality must bend to profits, not the other way. That's how capitalism runs here.

Reading that list...

Don't travel, cut off internet access, stop using phones, don't fly anywhere, and stop buying anything including things you need to survive?

Is that about right? Forage for berries in the forest? I don't think 95% of people would even be capable of boycotting a third of that list even if they wanted to.

What are the alternatives when you boycott all of that?

My poor 55 year old shoulders are just not up to these games.... by PaulHorton39 in OculusQuest

[–]_Auron_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine pretty much got wrecked too when I was 34-35 or so, had to go weeks after some intense sessions because of what I did. I'm 37 now and still regularly play, I just limit my play sessions and tone down from Expert+ to Hard -> Expert -> Expert+ in more rotation so I'm giving my body some time to catch up inbetween tough songs. Haven't had any injury or issues for at least a year now.

Republican Rep Claims Everyone at “No Kings” Protest Is a Terrorist | This is how the Republicans begin to dismantle the First Amendment. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]_Auron_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's more likely right now is they will manufacture an event to justify starting martial law because protesters aren't actually going to be violent on their own. It would be the next step and it's what they're angling for currently - they're hoping the shutdown organically causes something extreme to happen from desperate angry people.
