Good. Windows is all of bad, expensive, and untrustworthy

If americans could learn we wouldn’t have a 2nd trump presidency. We’re on average stupider than bart with the cupcakes.

I just saw a play that has a plot point about how someone gets robbed by some racist, well connected shits, and the police won’t do anything to help. The closest he gets to justice is vigilantism, where he hunts down and shoots 3 of his assailants dead. Only then does anyone start to listen to him, but when he agrees to talk peacefully they shoot him dead.

I’m not sure “the only way you’ll get justice is with your own bloody hands” was the author’s intent, but that seems to be the message.

Some people are very fragile and have poor emotional regulation. When they see other people doing good, it makes them feel bad, so they lash out.

Environmentalism, biking, veganism, all commonly evoke this behavior.

Why would you expect them to be immune to stupidity?

No. Voting in big elections is not the only action you take. This is a conflict with multiple fronts. You need to organize, talk to people, use every option.

Just abandoning the electoral front in this conflict is stupid

The car is already skidding on the ice. Saying “we should have taken the subway” is not useful at that point in time.

Every jury I’ve been on has been full of really disappointing people. But I’ve only been on two, so it’s a small sample size.

I switched to Linux a year or two ago. Pretty much every game I’ve played has worked fine. (Elden ring, guild wars 2, nioh2, pillars of eternity…)

Even non-steam stuff was basically click and go with Heroic launcher

Many things are completely arbitrary and yet have weight. Laws. Language. Being arbitrary is not sufficient reason to discard the idea on its own.

It has basis in reality in that it reflects the experience and judgement of many people. It’s a common expression. Given this post seeks the judgment of people, that basis is insufficient to discard it.

Your reasoning is bad.

(46/2)+7 = 30. 30 is the floor. 25 is too young.

Probably because all the horrible shit trump does takes up all the space.

The soul of the USA is rotten. We don’t believe in collective things like mass transit.

Seriously, folks, how hard is it to just walk away?

I read recently that “will power” doesn’t meaningfully exist, but it’s rather the result of many other factors. That said, many people seem to be bankrupt of what one would call willpower. I don’t know why.

Maybe it’s the capitalist hell scape. Maybe it’s the plastic in our bodies. Maybe people are just largely social followers, and with a large enough contingent of idiots many people who would behave better follow down into the slop.

My hot take has always been that Xbox was a stupid project. They had windows. People play video games on windows. They should have made steam and something like steam machines 25 years ago.

Maybe they could focus on delivering quality products that customers want, instead of investing all their time and effort into expensive AI widgets people don’t.

Conservatives are generally a combination of stupid, ignorant, and cruel.

Talk to them about it like adults? But I gather these are children, so I don’t know.

I thought about getting one but then I got laid off from my good paying job. Then they made it expensive with expensive games. So, no.

If capital wants us to spend money they need to pay us more first.
