You mean to tell me liberals sided with fascists over conceding literally anything to the left? Well I never!

I’m sure the likely CTE doesn’t help
Got an invite to the playtest from a friend recently.
I should not have accepted it. This game is going to consume my soul
Some people really don’t think before they speak do they
Don’t forget the Armenians
That’s not too insane for a company of their size. It’s higher than many, but far from out of the norm.
The worst part is Intel honestly could’ve have spun this into something of a win if they actually handled it properly. They’ve got over $25B in cash reserves, they could easily afford to do a recall and a big PR campaign about how good they are at accepting responsibility and fixing mistakes.
Frankly? Most people.
Most people are really dumb about this type of thing.
I didn’t tell anyone to do shit. I was simply pointing out that suggesting if people don’t like something they should vote against is in no way fascist or authoritarian or any of those things. What the fuck do you think campaigning and canvassing is?
The sheer level of mental gymnastics you’d have to do to think it is is frankly impressive.
You may want to check who replied when bud
“Hey, the other guys are fascist, so if you don’t like fascism, you probably should vote against them”
REEEE YOU’RE A FASCIST FOR EVEN MENTIONING THAT MAYBE PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE A CERTAIN WAY
Maybe it’s just because I’m older and more jaded, but that really feels like the last truly good era for GPUs.
Those 10 series cards had a ton of staying power, and the 480/580 were such damn good value cards.
Plus at least part of the walls will be exposed to the ground, not the air, and since past the first layer the ground stays consistently relatively cool, that helps a lot.
To be entirely fair, John Wayne was a nazi
Azeris might do a similar thing to them now
Now? You mean like they’ve been trying on and off for a long ass time now?
and for them it’s easier than ever to live the life off an artist.
I am not an artist,
Very obviously
Can not recommend Squad enough.
There’s a lot of jank, but the charm and community make up for it. Just be aware that there’s a fairly decent sized learning curve, and it’s pretty badly unoptimized.
It’s my most played game by a good bit. Nothing quite scratches the same itch
This is so much less cool than the Pepsi navy
True… However it does appear to be slowing a bit for both the US and Canada
And until the relationship between cost of living and wages reverses, not just slows down, we’re simply talking about things getting worse less quickly, not getting better
There is far less poverty in the world today than in the past.
Generally true, and this is largely from developing nations starting to have a growing middle class. Unfortunately, all signs point towards that middle class inevitably being consumed by the owner class, as we have watched and are watching the tail end of in the west.
Not sure what that has to do with the famines being caused by climate change though, especially as they are rapidly getting worse. Look at what’s happening currently in Madagascar. This is at a global temperature increase well below where we thought these things would start happening. That’s not even considering that all this is happening while Europe’s biggest breadbasket is currently the home of the 2nd worst war since WW2.
Probably true, but we also appear to be on the edge of a massive move away from fossil fuels to renewables with the cost of solar dropping, grid level battery systems replacing old coal / natural gas peaker plants etc and the move is no longer just about the “environment” these technologies are in some ways superior or cheaper as well which will accelerate adoption
While true, we are still accelerating our carbon production. Like the CoL/Wage thing, unless we see an outright drastic reversal, we are simply talking about things getting worse less quickly, not getting better. This isn’t an issue we can simply continue saying “oh science will just figure it out” on. We’ve been saying that since at least the 60s. Unless we get sweeping, drastic action from multiple large governments, and we get it very soon, nothing is going to change.
That’s also assuming we are actually “on the edge of a massive move away from fossil fuels to renewables”. We’ve been “on the edge” of that for seemingly forever now.
None of this even touches on the overt slide towards far right authoritarianism half the world seems to have taken.
Look, I legitimately try my best to stay optimistic about the future, but it is ridiculously naive to say the future looks brighter today than at the turn of the millennium.
I don’t think that’s the most likely outcome, but I could definitely see it happening and actively am hoping for it.
