I enjoy pvp games that I’m talented at. If I’m not good at something I tend to get down when I keep losing. Pvp is just really hard and bottles that feeling of helplessness.

Production can be cut, without lowering pay for most workers

Companies have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders, so unless you’re running a co-op or we transition to a socialist economic structure then this will likely never happen sadly. That huge gap between production and wages is what fuels our current economic paradigm. The system just needs to be rewritten.

Well evidently you can, somehow! Either by not knowing or by some other means lol.

Must not have known they were epileptic. I dated an epileptic person and she said they weren’t even allowed to drive.

Hi-Rez try to make a correct management decision challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

What is this Facebook-tier jpegged nonsense

Commercial flights will all be fully booked for months at least. The only realistic way for most Americans in Lebanon will likely be evacuation.

If you look at the comments under any YouTube video about Gaza or Lebanon, it’s mostly people cheering it on, especially on videos from major media outlets.

It seems like people understand the immense human toll and just don’t care because they want to see Israel continue to take out alleged military targets regardless of civilian deaths. It’s truly evil and reminiscent of any other genocide in history, the victims just aren’t respected as humans.

I’m tired of seeing this over and over, even in the information age. I’m starting to be convinced that humanity is just not viable as a species and is destined to destroy itself ad infinitum over shit like this.

Smart TVs are designed to surveil you, a media center PC can be used however you want. Flash Linux and run Jellyfin and torrent everything through a VPN, then nothing can track you.

Yep, it was my personal, password-protected network. Either someone reconnected it (unlikely, I live with my gf who doesn’t use the TV) or it just cached the password until it decided to spy on my again 🙃

I have definitely had to forget networks, then have them connect to that network weeks later at random, then having to forget the network again. Don’t know how that’s legal.

I mean… it’s probably good to talk about these things before getting married, since it will inevitably lead to unresolved feelings later on. I wouldn’t mind if, for instance, my partner was a slut while I was a sexless virgin before we got together, but I would at least want to know that about them. In my mind you’re supposed to talk about your life experiences with your partner, and sex is falls under that umbrella. Idk, maybe I’m weird for thinking that.

Do not connect your Smart TVs to network people, seriously. Just a bad idea. Use a media center PC or some other device that allows you to stream content, and make sure the TV itself is just a big monitor, nothing more.

I would be fine with it if it were a privacy-respecting platform that was subscription-based first and foremost, then had an ad-supported tier as well, but unfortunately it’s owned by Google so they’re collecting untold troves of data even from paid subscribers and that’s the actual product for them.

And when you point that out to the AI, those code snippets get replaced with even more spaghetti that is maybe 1% closer to actually working, at best. Been there!

Stochastic terrorism needs to have more severe criminal penalties for career politicians specifically. Right-wing figureheads have been getting away with this shit for too long.

We’re now penalizing the parents of school shooters, so if we find out that someone who threatens to bomb a school is a super fan of X person, then X person should face some sort of penalty if they continually put out deliberate lies about said school. We did a version of this with Alex Jones already, just follow through with that logic honestly.

Everything should have physical buttons because touchscreens don’t have haptic feedback and therefore demand more attention, which should be focused on the road. Physical buttons can be controlled via muscle memory much more quickly.

For HVAC, not all automatic systems are created equal and some people just prefer to adjust temps and fans manually.

I really hope this is true because I have met soooo many people in my personal life who seriously believe the position of the stars affects every little facet of your life.

No, nuance exists and this is ridiculous absolutism lmao.

I feel like this is deliberately obtuse lol
