I would prefer basic, subtle, black. I don’t want rainbows and lights. I’m very function over form.
I’d also rather play a game on medium settings where it runs flawlessly and doesn’t make the fans go hard, than at high settings with worse performance.
Fine needs to be much bigger. All the decision makers that approved it need to be removed and barred from working in the industry
Technically correct, the best kind of correct
Sometimes I wonder about if the US had stayed a colony longer. Slavery probably would have ended sooner. Probably have a better government structure.
So many places seem to be run by idiots, if your metrics are other than “personal enrichment”.
Like, one of my old jobs, the CEO laid off almost everyone and is now banging hard on the “return to office” drum. Like, my guy, how is making people do a 2 hour commute going to help? It’s a small company, he knows most of the people live that far away. And then they go into the office, and they end up doing these like hour+ long lunches. Or they leave early for drinks.
It’s fucking stupid. It’s the CEO driving with his emotions. He wants to feel like a big business man with an office, and he wants to have fun socializing. Idiot. Fun guy to hang out with, but he’s making pants on head stupid business decisions. And there’s nothing any of us can do about it.
You have to remember it’s not about facts, it’s about feelings. As I always say, we’re all susceptible to that to some extent, but the republicans have it bad.
I think they’re making a joke (what with the /s), but some people will say that since “Nazi” is derived from “national socialist” it’s a form of socialism. Usually people making that claim are arguing in bad faith and/or are grossly misinformed.
Even republicans don’t want fascism.
They don’t? How can you tell?
What we need is an actual movement united in a common goal and working in lock step
Well at least we agree on this.
I often feel like the protests are performative, and never move onto the next steps of “we’re withholding our labor until things improve” or what have you.
“technically correct, the best kind of correct” is a joke and not an aspiration.
What do you suggest? Staying home and doing nothing?
You could admit you weren’t entirely correct. It’s okay.
And you’re doing the work of billionaires here by discouraging people from protesting.
Is this an age thing? I’m about 40 and I never had instagram, barely used facebook, and didn’t use any others really. I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem where someone backed out because I didn’t have instagram. But I also don’t have a big group of casual friends, and maybe that would be harder.
Discord sucks, but I’ve noticed a lot of social groups use it. A couple meetups I go to all use it for communication. Maybe that’s more bearable than instagram?
You said “Walton family”, which is technically correct but misleading because it’s only one person. The statement made by walmart is more representative of the family majority.
That’s irrelevant to the point that “The walton family sponsored” is misleading when it looks like it was just one person who’s only a member of the family by marriage, with no current involvement in the business, and when walmart itself explicitly distanced itself from her on this topic.
I don’t accept the premise that working a job to make someone else rich is axiomatically good.
Many jobs make the world worse. I’d rather someone sit at home and play Tetris than build murder-drones, or work on some sort of AI powered stalking-ad company.
Many of the jobs are just bullshit. Another “AI” company? Another product manager with no real decision making power? A few billion dollars poured into “the metaverse”? Waste of time and resources.
That aside, most jobs make the owners rich while labor gets a few crumbs. You work all day making widgets. The boss pays you $10. They sell your widgets for $1000. That’s a bum deal. But there’s a thousand desperate people waiting to take your spot, plus union busters eager to betray labor and beat you up. Pay people the real value of their labor, and treat them with respect, and you’d likely get more people working.
Johnson is a heretical, hypocritical, piece of shit. No one should take him seriously. His church should – wait, he’s southern baptist? The “we’re going to split off because we want slavery” sect? Not surprising. Those assholes suck.
That’s a somewhat misleading summary

While Walton inherited a 1.9% stake in Walmart following her husband’s 2005 death, according to Forbes, a spokesperson for Walmart told Snopes via email that Walton has no involvement in the business.
I think that’s related to conservatives having really poor critical analysis skills. Some of them probably unironicly think Sauron was the hero
I played the shit out of bubble bobble as a 3 year old. It has passwords for saves, which was tricky because none of me and the other neighborhood kids could read. It’s a great game, though.
There’s one level like a third of the way through that baffled us for weeks. Still hard, as an adult. Good fun, though. Lots of “go go go go get it go go go oooh no dang.” moments.
Plenty of stuff, turns out. But I’m sticking to my guns. I have a big backlog anyway.
I’ve read that windows 11 uses react (a JavaScript view framework) for parts of the UI, and that seems insane to me. JavaScript isn’t a great language. It’s popular because it runs in the browser. The windows desktop is not a browser.
