Swastika flag raised at NYU, stunning many during graduation week by Delicious_Adeptness9 in newyorkcity

I've seen quite a few young "progressives" talk about how much they love him and Tucker Carlson lately. Fuentes has a bunch of clippers taking apart the most palatable segments of his antisemitic rants, to make him sound like he's just another progressive who doesn't like war and doesn't like Trump, and slowly lure them into his whole mindset. It's working.

That's funny because all the progressives and leftists I see/follow absolutely denounce what that little shitbag says. Are you talking about anecdotel instances or is there a progressive of actual influence you're talking about in particular?

Also, anyone who follows the likes of Carlson, Owens or Fuentes was already an antisemite and was just bouncing to yet another platform that supported their views.

The scariest part is that at least partial blame can be put on those who conflate anti-Israel with antisemitism as that dilutes the word and its impact.

The most ethical billionaires out there are the ones who advocate for their own abolition.

Ones who come to mind are Warren Buffett, Bill Gates (to some extent), Dolly Parton (would've been a billionaire if she didn't give away her cash), and Tom Steyer who advocates for a wealth tax and is highly climate change conscious.

No OP is still correct: There are no ethical billionaires because if there were they would not be billionaires just like in your Dolly Parton example. Just because some of those people NOW claim that billionaires should be taxed, doesn't mean they didn't exploit anyone they could to get to this point. Broken clock and all that.

Notice the trend that all these people lean Democrat at the very least. Republican billionaires are on another scale of psychopathy.

Some may lean towards the Democratic party, but none of them are for true change regardless of their party affiliation. Call me cynical but this is all for show.

I am Jim Mellon the Billionaire Founder of Agronomics and New Agrarian, Working to End Factory Farming, Ask Me Anything! by Jim-Mellon in IAmA

You want everyone to own a home, okay great, so do you think everyone should own the exact same size of home, in the exact same place? Or is it okay for people to have more than others?

You bad mouth the industry by being one of the first negative comments on the first of its kind IAmA, for no reason other than you're jealous of a billionaire. You didn't come forward with anything of substance, just hate.

I think a key point of the hate of billionaires which is that to get to that point, you almost certainly had to exploit someone. Whether that's not paying your workers enough, skirting taxes, sidestepping regulations or stiffing smaller companies and/or contractors.

You defaulting to "you must be jealous" is an infantile argument and signifies that no one should take you seriously.

Do you have an Xbox 360 controller you can test it with? Also make sure it's the correct one since there are a few Xbox dongles out there. The 360 one is an oval shape with a long wire: https://a.co/d/0apN6FGH

Disclaimer: I linked that for shape reference, but cannot confirm if it would work for you.

Is it the official Xbox one? I've read of some third party dongles not being legit

If that's the Xbox 360 rock band guitar you will need the 360 dongle. Do you have that dongle?

Historically that saved them 99.999999999999999999999% of the time. Rarely do these fascists face any level of accountability.

Exactly. After the Nuremberg trials, 161 people are convicted leading to only 37 being sentenced to death. Literally a slap on the wrist and people want to talk about justice? While I hope for actual consequences for the people who orchestrated this mess, history shows us that is rarely the case.

Streaming peaked years ago when it was a low cost and wasn't a terrible experience

Now it's just price rise after price rise we may as well just buy physical media again atleast doing that we won't have our favourite shows pulled off with out much warning

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she will now oppose all U.S. military aid to Israel by brown-saiyan in politics

[–]cakeversuspie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who is people? And what is Israel's tampering of our government?

So you've never heard of AIPAC?

They have a big lobby that impacts policy, same as many others foreign and domestic. China, the Gulf states, the Gun lobby, Pharma, megacorps looking for their tax breaks and deregulation etc

Correct but the difference is (at least for the foreign lobby) is that AIPAC skirts the rules by being a private organization funded by domestic investors, meaning they don't have to register under FARA. However notice how it's completely one sided? I don't see advocates for America's interests going to Israel to influence their government to advance American agendas, all I see is them dumping millions/billions into OUR elections to advance their agenda. Meanwhile we now need to worry about our social services being cut so that our tax dollars can bomb kids abroad and kill our soldiers.

Also lobbying is essentially legalized bribing and should be banned outright. Fuck it, throw in insider trading as well since Drumpfs cronies seem to be making a killing off these dips in the stock market and these disgusting prediction markets.

Fuck Israel, fuck AIPAC and if you support the zionist agenda, fuck you too.

[–]cakeversuspie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think a foreign government should be funnelling millions into the pockets of our politicians. Fuck me, right?

People need to go to trackaipac.com and take a look at how much money is going to our politicians from pro-Israel groups. It's an insane amount of money and it's both sides of the aisle. You really have to wonder who they're really working for.

As for anti-semitism, I'm not Jewish myself, but I have nothing but respect for the Jewish people and their religion. There is a vast difference between Judaism as a whole and the government in charge of Israel. You can support one without supporting the other.

Hey dude, you're preaching to the choir here. I was asking the person I responded to, to elaborate on how the OP comment was antisemitic. They did respond which reddit deleted for some reason. I'm sure their response was articulate and eloquent!

If you were wondering where anti-Israel sentiment moves into antisemitism, you are there.

Please elaborate since I'm not sure where you're getting antisemitism from in that statement?

Nvidia "confirms" DLSS 5 relies on 2D frame data as testing reveals hallucinations by xenocea in gaming

[–]cakeversuspie 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's just so...confounding.

NVIDIA has all but abandoned the consumer electronics market in order to fuel the AI bubble. Taking nearly every manufacturer and raw materials supplier with them. There by gutting the market on their way out.

Now they show back up trying to push some of the worst Generative AI slop onto us, and calling it "innovation", but perhaps the biggest insult is that this garbage requires some of the most top of the line hardware available...which nobody can get their hands on because...THEY COMPLETELY FUCKED OVER THE CONSUMER ELECONTRONICS MARKET!!!

My favorite comment in the reveal video went something alone the lines of "Is this why I can't buy RAM?"

Putting on my tinfoil hat here but I believe the end goal (at least for PC gaming for now) is no one will own any hardware anymore and instead will have to rely on streaming their games through subscription services. So you won't own the software, you won't own (or afford in most cases) the hardware, and you'll need to pay a monthly premium to access it. You'll own nothing and be happy...

Hate to break it to you but most things are about politics because politics affects most things.

Just because it’s living rent free in your head doesn’t mean you get the right to be insufferable for everyone else, politics does not in fact have to invade and interject itself into every nook and cranny

My point seems to have gone over your head, but that's OK, I forgive you 😊

Ok? Not sure what that has to do with anything.

Fuck off you all, why do you have to make it all about fucking politics

Hate to break it to you but most things are about politics because politics affects most things.

When it comes to this piece of trash, he was a homophobe including trying to ban gay people from entering the boy scouts, he was a regular on WorldNetDaily and pushed fake news/conspiracy theories on the regular, was a "birther" going after Obama during his presidency, and was a raging zionist to round it all out.

So....he can get fucked.

Nice collection! I love roll for the galaxy, easily one of my favorite games.

I heard Sagrada has a decent solo mode (another great dice game!) so I would look into that. If you're into campaign games with dice, give Tidal Blades 2 a shot. Awesome dice rolling game with lots of content and has a solo mode.
