It should be national election week, not election day

Mmmm nobody, because I don’t respect or care for anyone who is considered to be a celebrity. I just don’t get it.

Tune in on Monday to find out new tarriffs make this announcement no longer valid

I found humankind to be very difficult to go the domination path, but I haven’t played since close to release.

It was very prohibitive to take direct control of conquered cities as the cost seemed exponential, and you had to constantly declare peace and then go right back to war or something if I remember correctly. It seemed like a silly system

We have little work laptops for staff and even with just like 3-4 programs and a 5gb limit on cloud files stored locally, 64gb is hardly even anoigh to update Windows. Need to get them with at least 128gb.

The problem I mostly have is even when those costs are recouped most companies fight tooth and nail to keep the prices high and unaffordable in order to line the pockets of investors.

I don’t even mind microtransactions, but microtransactions DO NOT EXIST

$10 for a skin is not a MICRO transactions, that’s just a transaction.

The entire game costs $60 but ONE skin out of the thirty that already available or whatever is somehow $10? Why do people pay that? Why would they ever bother making a new game when they can design 6 new skins instead?

Why is that a problem? It gets rid of bias and would actually help minorities defeat bias in the court and get a more fair judgement.

Yeah honestly I don’t see a problem with this. If it’s his own words why does it matter if it’s AI speaking or himself? Even if it’s not his own words, he could just as easily say the same shit on camera, why does the person in the video needs to be him?

It’s too bad there isn’t a way to just have one location for everyone to create an account, like a lemmy.com, and then the last step during account creationg is to select your preferred instance for the account, maybe from like a drop down list that has a small blurb about the rules and expectations for that instance and a list of top 10 hosted communities, and maybe even a random choice option, and then you can go back to that main area to switch your instance later if need be.

When you’ve got to put on a mask to do your job, maybe you don’t work in a very good job…

Why?

So the Twitter boss gets to order around the Reddit boss? Typical Stevie… No spine

I think it has to do with some law where banks are required to cut all financial ties to any company that aids in the production, purchase or selling of CSAM and Sexual Trafficking content etc. so many businesses are wary of any website that provides adult content unless there is the strictest of moderation and verification procedures.

Which is one of the reasons many websites (tumbler, Reddit) are limiting NSFW content because they want to be able to have users buy things on their website but don’t want to moderate the content to the standards of the banks.

I hate Reddit, and I hate discord.

I am using discord for a discussion thread of one thing which follows a serial webnovel and it’s infuriating because when something new happens there’s always a constant influx of people asking the same questions because there is no way to pin or highlight pertinent information and no one is going to go scrolling through a million messages searching for the first time the question was asked and answered.

Discussion threads! Not chat messages!

Public services don’t need to be profitable to be sustainable. You just need to tax base to be okay with it.

Because I’ve seen the quality of a lot of household items that manage to make it to market no problem? Much of it is absolute crap.

I would imagine more safety standards would go into energy grid storage. A lot more liability for a company if their product burns down a power substation than a random house or two.

Yeah does Elon not know who his main economic base is? Environmental and techy liberals that love to cancel people, he got into the wrong business for his political leanings I think

It’s called paying for the content
