Yeah, they should shut down both. Honestly, X should be on the chopping block even faster that Meta, but Zuck seems committed to racing Musk to the bottom.

Hey, don’t fucking lump me in with those assholes. I’ve been calling out the Blue MAGA bullshit from the second .world started pushing it.
Remember, the Democrats aren’t allowed to call the Republicans fascists. It might hurt their feelings, and the Dem’s corporate masters don’t want any Republicans to have their feelings hurt. That’s why “weird” got tossed to the wayside despite being effective, that’s why Biden was chastised for calling Trump garbage, and that’s why even though Trump was “an enormous threat to our democracy,” the Dems refused to call a spade a spade. Meanwhile, Republicans are allowed to scrape the shit from their ass and sling it wherever they want.
What did you really expect the controlled opposition to do? Give a rousing speech about the tough times ahead? Inspire worker solidarity? The DNC is the poster child for corrupt old boomers, they do not give a fuck. They made millions of dollars off this election and will see zero consequence.
Absolutely false. People are fucking morons that do not know what they need. People are good at identifying the problems that face them, experts are good at finding solutions. Good leadership in a democracy is finding experts and supporting them to find solutions for the problems constituents face.
I have! It is very laid-back, but I also found it to be a bit lacking in content. That was like a year ago though, and it’s my understanding that they’ve added a lot more to the game since I played.
I will say, you’re complaining about community while only playing 1v1 versus games. I don’t think anyone would call WWE 2k14 or the Tekken games really “community focused,” and certainly not to the same level as games like World of Warcraft or Warframe. I’d even argue other PvP focused titles would offer better communities, as team-focused titles like Deadlock and Marvel Rivals incentivize players to seek out other players they enjoy playing with. Solo 1v1s just don’t incentivize community in the same way.
You’re watching the collapse of an empire. The citizens are getting desperate and scared, those of them that don’t realize or understand the situation they’re in even moreso. What you’re seeing isn’t driven by malice, it’s just too difficult to care for others now. A lotta my friends struggle to pay rent every month and keep food in their mouths. We walk around with the knowledge a stranger could freak out and gun us down at any moment. Is it any wonder that they are numb to violence, numb to threats, even numb to the fear of death?
Once you get that numb and hollow, you cut what’s extraneous away and focus on your own survival. Americans are, broadly speaking, panicked animals. The worse things get, the more panicked and desperate they’ll become, and the less they’ll care about standards and morals in the pursuit of survival.
If I was very desperate and my current job no longer sufficed, sure I’d hop on OnlyFans or FeetFinder and give it a go. The problem I have is more one of laziness. I like showing off my body, and spend a good amount of time cultivating parts like my ass and thighs to look attractive. The limiting factor is that I don’t have anyone to hold a camera. It’s a lot of fun to model, it’s a lot less fun to setup a camera/mic, create a scene, and actually take 30-40 pictures/30 sec vid clips. If I had to do it for survival, I could, but I prefer just sending simple thirst traps to fwb.
The issue is that a lot of companies are being performative in that representation. They’ll make a commercial positively representing trans people, and then quietly destroy their DEI initiative and lay-off their trans employees. They’ll make a big show of supporting the LGBT community…until it cuts into their profit margins, and then they’ll gladly make a show of pandering to fascists. We can’t really reward these companies or call them allies when clearly the only thing they actually care about is money. To them, any representation they give is a happy accident on the path to shaking us down.
The fact that they feel handcuffed at all is the issue I have with the entire Disney Star Wars run. If these were being made out of a sense of love and passion for the Star Wars universe, the lore would serve as a rich well of inspiration to draw from. It’s only a problem because these are all soulless cashgrabs designed to make money first and be Star Wars second.
The meat is basically slow cooked in a vat of fat, meat drippings, and broth. A wet Italian Beef is when you dip the bread of the sandwich fully into that vat, then pile the meat on top.
100% believable and 100% pointless. So much of that money is basically being wasted on their digital art team making technically distinct assets for each game. They all have to be exceptionally high quality, because Call of Duty is a AAA franchise, but do any players actually care if their sniper rifle looks slightly different if the numbers and mechanics are identical?
Feel like all of CoD’s successful competitors have figured out that FPS players don’t really give a shit and will happily play the same client on the same maps with minimal updates year after year, but Acti-Blizz is addicted to reinventing the wheel each time even though they’re reusing the good maps.
At least in recent memory, it was Dragon’s Dogma 2 teaching me that I could pick up and carry downed party members by having one of my party members pick up another one and bring them over to me. There’s so much that’s possible in DD2 that just isn’t in a typical videogame, that throughout the entire experience I was mostly learning niche interactions from my other party members instead of my own experimentation. It was a really cool experience, and felt way more impactful then a text prompt just lecturing me about all the mechanics the game has.
It’s kinda wild to think that Carter was shunned as being too moderate with the state of the current Democratic party. Now, he’d be considered one of the most leftist members of the party.
I’d be interested to hear about these countries subject to the exact same universal structural forces resisting fascism, because I don’t think many other countries had millions of dollars flowing in from their foreign rivals propping up fascism over decades to make sure that it grows and takes root.
because the goal isn’t for more transparency in their service, CTA is mismanaged trash rn. It’s to have less transparency, so less people realize that the delays between trains still have not returned to pre-pandemic levels, and likely never will.
Why are you saying this in jest? Late-stage capitalism is a civilization ending event, like an aggressive cancer upon our collective reality. It will consume everything we have to give it and demand more in the pursuit of infinite growth.
I dunno, seems pretty good for queer spaces and shitposting, but I guess .world doesn’t know much about either.
I’d add another difference: way more idiots. Back in the day, that idea that everything on the internet needed to be taken with a grain of salt was incredibly widespread. It was one of the bedrocks of internet culture, and it’d get memed to death.
Now, the number of people who view everything on the internet as gospel truth has surpassed the number of healthy skeptics.
Good! Hopefully one of those other apps is federated and free from any hostile interests.
