Critiquing the visual appearance of architecture sounds like some Woke Leftist Liberal Arts shit to me.
My parents raised me in a hole under a tree stump and it built my character. Now I’m the assistant manager at three different car dealerships. You lefties with your indoor plumbing and central air will never have this much success
Lefty Memes but it’s a day dedicated to Southpaws
The goal of these rules is to minimize the utility of SNAP benefits and discourage application for and usage of these benefits.
Liberty is when the government fears the people.
I think that’s Leninism
Liberty protects but does not bind
Tyranny binds but does not protect
You don’t think they are already using the surveillance state/surveillance capitalism in this process?
A lot of people are being picked up at their immigration hearings, at traffic stops, and at their jobs. This is all information already in the public record. You don’t need surveillance to be marked as a legal immigrant.
You should state your opinions without making aggressive, worst-faith assumptions of others.
“Russians control Reddit! I demand you take my assertion in good faith and be nice to me.”
Okay buddy.
If you said Russians are the reason you’re always missing one sock in your dryer, half of Reddit would agree.
I hear there was a power outage in Zhenjiang and everyone I didn’t like on the Internet disappeared
Two men holding hands? A line of people marching in a pride parade? Anyone with Grindr installed on their phones?
Take your pick.
It’s literally just guys in vans cruising around town snatching people. You don’t need anything particularly high tech for that
People aren’t being “disappeared” for nebulous and secret reasons. They’re being disappeared because they’re brown, they speak a non-English language, or they have some minor criminal citation in the public record.
We’re making up hypotheticals to be afraid of surveillance when the modern state is already snatching people up for very superficial and arbitrary reasons
This is in India, but coming soon to a country near you
It came here first
I would simply be in the top 1%
It’s an increasingly unusably platform precisely because so many keywords return deluges of AI Slop.
I have to assume advertisers are getting rather miffed at spending top dollar for promotion on a premiere platform and getting outranked by some Coco-Mellon tier knock offs that have just gamed the algorithm
Delivering swift and terrible justice to the gaggle of sociopaths and bigots that have channeled our collective wealth into institutionalized misery is cool and good.
But the wealth building doesn’t come from taking a few bourgeois fucks out back to the wood chipper. Real wealth means building real infrastructure and bureaucracy that can sustain and improve the lives of your neighbors. I see a lot of progressive-ish folks who cheer guys like Luigi and whatisface the Charlie Kirk guy, then frown at the state bureaucrats in the AES states of Cuba and Venezuela and Sankara-era Burkino Faso. They lose track of the fact that the folks running the literacy programs and maintaining the train lines and working their way through the medical schools are doing 1000x more for their comrades than some vigilante in a western hellhole who got his lick in.
Why are people not trusting experts?
People are trusting “experts”. That’s how they’re getting the information necessary to distrust other experts.
Dr Oz has “Doctor” right in his name! If he goes on Oprah - the show that brings on a parade of ahem “experts” to explain the world to a population of shut-in housewives - and warns that vaccinations are why your kids aren’t Ivy League Material, people listen.
It’s because they believe their ignorant opinion is just as valid as a researched conclusion.
Their opinions don’t just emerge Ex Nihilo. And they aren’t breaking arbitrarily for or against certain topics. They’re polarized around a set of reactionary beliefs because they’re trained into it by reactionary media, reactionary politicians, and reactionary local institutions.
This is a moronic take.
It’s just a capital gains tax
It’s stupid because the game has already received a stack of awards a mile high. Nobody seriously cares about this. Nobody’s sales will be hurt in any meaningful capacity. It’s a dumb awards show, not the FCC.
I think this “placeholder art” is a silly line to draw. But the high profile of the game makes it a ripe target to make a statement.
If you really don’t want to reward people for “quicker development” over the human touch, might as well pick a game everyone already bought and highlight folks who did their dev work organically
