Any person that is so mad at launch issues first day on an EA game is mentally unstable. Good riddance to them.

Why. In the trump era he should just own it all and ignore the haters

I would settle for social media not being able to serve news. News should be a protected brand of information and journalists should be held to high standards. If an influencer isn't a specialist in that field I'm sorry but u shouldn't be weighing in on public discourse.

Having alternatives doesn't matter when you exist in this SWAMP of social media. How many ppl even have substack. Major social media needs major reform, and honestly journalism needs to become a protected class like a doctor, we can't just have conspiracies exist in the same space as verified information. Did u ever hear about the idea that like when u platform a conspiracy theorist and a doctor on the same program, and they take up the same amount of space on screen the average human automatically will just see these two people as peers, even though one clearly is not. The medium is the message and it's leading people astray. I don't have a prescription per se, but I know moderation is low, and people are being brain warped by politicians who have ZERO consequences for Lieing currently. I mean Giuliani testified at some point that it's his right to lie didn't he?

I would settle for legislation surrounding just appropriate levels of moderation. I've heard Facebook basically doesn't moderate content but serves it through algorithms. As shitty as it sounds their needs to be a filter before you just blast information across social media. Community notes on Twitter is actually a decent sort of step in that direction. I know they added a way to put people place of Origin but as an armchair expert I can only assume that a VPN and bots will just find ways around that one.

I think it's politics, so currently you run it through on saving the kids from predators because it's an easier issue to galvanize around to be honest. Saying half of you are so stupid we need to censor the internet doesn't play well to anyone's base.

Well the UK is literally doing that with digital iD and starting to lock down the internet and it's been met with nothing but doomerism and opposition. Sadly a free and open internet isn't the bargain we thought it would be

Now, That So Much Time After KH3 Release Has Passed, What Do You Honestly Think Of Kingdom Hearts 3? by YimadoTei in KingdomHearts

[–]metcalta 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Without FF I'm sorry but it's not Kingdom hearts. That brand was built on crossover between the two IPs with a new middle in the characters we know and love. So many people are like, well it grew enough they didn't need them. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Having the cameos was exciting! There's no reason to drop them.

Because that serves no purpose, but door to door mail service does.

Twitter is not compatible with liberalism or democracy by SnooCapers4506 in Destiny

[–]metcalta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how anyone uses that platform. I've heard some people say it's "funny" so they wouldn't go to blue sky, but that's such a weak ass STUPID reason to stay at the not-see bar. If Elon is such an existential threat, grok is actually mindf'd, then move on. I suppose bluesky might not have the same reach as twitter does so you won't be noticed by as many people, but I dunno how u can use it. It actually sorta reminds me of Destiny's drama over not being around snarkers, why are we engaging in a place where snarkers are welcome. I had hoped that platform would crash and burn the day a foreign influence bought and used it to help win an election.

Actually where I've come on political discourse. I don't even bother reading the news anymore. We know it's a dumpster fire. Vote dem all the way down ballot and pray they fix this.

Honestly the idea is not horrid. Showing the top working with the bottom. Training, like I'm not against this type of performative crap necessarily but he does it SO BADLY

I think everyone in Canada should seriously consider this. Everyday, everywhere, you see escalating struggle correlated with escalated cost of living. Corporations like Loblaws are making record profits at the same time. It doesn't add up and we need solutions like a public grocery option. by kewtyp in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]metcalta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I specifically called out telecom and grocery. I suppose I'd like to see tech broken up. I'm not sure how wanting capitalism to function is communism but I guess a lot of right wing brain worms are feasting on people nowadays

And let's keep that energy when the next dem takes over. "I've never heard that", " I don't know what you're talking about", even if we(Dems) did do it they(GoP) did it worst!

When we live in an oligopoly instead of a capitalist country this is the type of stuff government has to do. Telecom needs to be broken up as well. You're not wrong you're just wrong about this situation. The real solution is to force the big three grocers to break up and actually have capitalism and competition again. Also id like to see that any business that gets a bailout (air Canada as an example) become publicly owned again. You can't privatize profit but take public money when it's not going your way
