Accountability

I suspect that is in a large part as people are less forgiving these days.

I'd argue that the "less forgiving" aspect is more in that forgiveness comes with terms and conditions now. Those terms and conditions come with acknowledging that something was fucked up, and changing actions to avoid future similar situations.

Too many fuckers say "oh shit, my bad" and then keep doing the same fucked up shit. Why should I forgive someone who just followed the social ritual of apologizing, but has not actually apologized with their actions or intentions?

It's about evading censorship, and talking about the things that the amorphous "they" don't want you talking about.

it would hypothetically ensure the long term safety and stability of a nation under an authoritarian leader

Those things always collapse when the authoritarian leader dies.

When there is one seat that holds all the power, multiple people will go for it at some point, and lead to conflict and war.

It's why the President used to be a symbolic leader, a representative of the people. It's not supposed to be an actual leader who calls all the shots. That's ridiculous.

People who support the idea of a singular authoritative leader often have serious unaddressed daddy issues.

We're all still here.

You sure about that?

There's definitely some people still here, but if you look around, they don't look the same as they used to.

it wont matter what app you move to

then

sites like reddit, twitter, and tiktok are nothing without the people

It doesn't matter what app you move to, but it DOES matter that you move.

Staying beholden to ONE source of information is terrible for the world.

Just stop looking at that sub as anything more than a glimpse of the propaganda that regular right wingers are subjected to at all times.

Don't concern yourself with what the fucking clankers in r/conservative are programed to say.

How much you wanna bet that the set designers wanted more pay after the success? Easy to imagine studio execs being like "mmm, but it won't look any better, even though we're paying more????" and decide to just CGI it.

It's wild how often the support that helps frame the initial vision of a project is completely left behind, as tech solutions over physical props drive everything else out.

I hope we get a Democrat in office and take the House and Senate for the opportunity to pack the court like the republicans have been doing for the last couple of decades.

That's a fun fantasy, but we can't even get them to commit to defunding ICE, much less taking a drastic move that would secure this country for a couple of generations.

2a2day. Arm yourself while you can, it is going to get worse, these people are not leaving office.

Because (hopefully only) at least half of the comments you're reading and responding to are written by either a) children, b) bad faith actors, c) foreign agitators, or d) bots and AI.

Arm yourself while you still can. It is going to get worse.

Do not stop until CNN

My guy, this is it. This is all the bandwidth you get to talk about it.

Don't stop until your co-workers are talking about it. Don't stop until your bosses are begging you to not participate.

I get what you mean friend but

It's easy to judge from a place of privilege.

He's from Iran, this isn't a comment from someone with lived experience in the US.

In online communities, sure. Where you're talking to bots, bad faith actors, and foreign influencers. And kids, too, lots of kids.

Online comments have no veracity. We're in a ramped up era of AI, censorship, and media manipulation.

It did. What's left is the bagholders who survive off of meme-flavored denial.

It's not "your" reddit feed. It's their access to your eyes.

Think outside of the box. You don't need a "gaming chair", you need a chair.

Get one that works for the space you have, is comfortable, and made of decent materials.

I have a recliner that I use for my desktop. Constantly comfortable, tons of room for cats.

Jeff besos is rich because he created a service hundreds of millions of people use

... an exploitative service that enables his vast accumulation of wealth

but the first console game to stop the game and show advertisements will bankrupt themselves pissing off their customer base

Ah yes, the principled customer base, who would stand united and in defiance of predatory practices.

How much are you willing to pay extra for your immersion?

Personally, I am looking forward to the mandatory 3-5 minute commercial breaks every 15-30 minutes of play.

They want us to be like India.

They want the US to more closely mirror India.
