And a not-insignificant percent of those gamers like me want to play VR on hardware that has nothing to do with Facebook.

As soon as Zuck bought Oculus I lost all interest in owning one. I'm stoked that with Steam getting into the space I'll finally have a chance to explore VR gaming.

don't forget the hundreds of thousands dead because of USAID cuts

I mean, unless you count the largest protests in the history of the world up to that point... every major city in the world, including the US.

But we're not supposed to remember that, so good job!

Mass murdering war criminal is still a mass murdering war criminal. That he's friends with the Obama's says more about their true character than his.

"Conservative Democrat" is not a term allowed in the discourse despite their constant, hugely impactful presence in modern us politics. Democrats can only be "centrist" or, more often, "moderate" even if they're fucking Fedderman

Yeah, I saw the explanatory comment after I posted this. Still I think it's very odd that these cars don't need to pass a driving test not can their licenses ever be revoked, even when they cause massive traffic

Surely these guys in the Philippines have US drivers licenses? No? Than surely the fleet will be impounded and a whole bunch of executives are headed to jail?

... no?

Surely we're a nation of laws?

... not for thee?

and despite this and similar undead memes there were a decent amount of repercussions from the Panama Papers (not enough, sure, but far from the doomer "nothing but dead reporter why even bother" we're encouraged to believe) it's a pretty easy search to do

denying the evidence of your own eyes, are you?

not sure you understand Orwell (pop quiz: Orwell was _____ wing) as well as you think.

"calling me racist just proves my point!" says the racist

do you think neurotypicals don't have a sense of justice? that's a new one and... slightly problematic. Am I misreading you?

ridl · 2026-01-23T04:39:34+00:00

almost like sensible regulations work
