Who wants a free final trip to El Salvador?

I wondered because Facebook. Mostly only know old people using it these days. Boomers and people who were young enough to have grown up using it when it first came out.

Consumerism is undefeated.

Are they old people?

One thing you can always count on is NVIDIA, Apple, and Nintendo fans to let you down when it comes to voting with their wallets.

Maybe they got addicted to gacha and burned through a car or houses worth.

Troll bot trying to discourage people.

Its positive in that he is trying to create mutants so the world can feel more like Marvel. Or maybe The Thing.

Yeah I’ve used heroic launcher, but a native launcher is still preferred. I like the GOG launcher on windows.

Yep that’s my point. That they just assumed that it must be the case when that hasn’t been the outcome with innovation not coinciding with improved affordable living. Instead it’s just been further class divide despite advancements.

Innovation is its own separate thing from human outcomes, and advancement of improved human lives needs its own care and guidance. Its not going to improve just because science and tech is improving. Otherwise humans are no different than any other disposable resource from the view of the powers that be, and will be discarded and abused without care.

Which are separate things from people’s ability to financially support themselves.

People can have smartphones and tech the past didn’t have, but be increasingly worse off financially and unable to afford housing.

And you aren’t a space explorer.

I’m not arguing about whether innovation is cool. It is.

I however strongly disagree with your claim that people being replaced is good. That assumes society is being guided with altruism as a cornerstone of motivation to create some Star Trek future to free up people to pursue their interests, but that’s a fantasy. Innovation is simply innovation. It’s not about whether people’s lives will be improved. It doesn’t care.

World can be the most technologically advanced its ever been with space travel for the masses and still be a totalitarian dystopia. People could be poorer than ever and become corpo slaves, but it would fit under the defition of societal progress because of innovation.

Great for people getting fired or finding that now the jobs they used to have that were middle class are now lower class pay or obsolete. They will be so delighted at the progress despite their salaries and employment benefits and opportunities falling.

And it’s so nice that AI is most concentrated in the hands of billionaires who are oh so generous with improving living standards of the commoners. Wonderful.

Has America even given a reason to be given the benefit of the doubt on anything since the asset to Russia came into power?

Cloud saves, achievements, and tracking hours is something I do like. I have over a 100 GOG games, so individually managing exe files isn’t something I really want to do.

I just see excuses being made for grown up who are too old to be given the benefit of the doubt like they are toddlers.

And that’s on them regardless of the reasons, since these are grown ups not children. This constant coddling and excuses for grown ups gets old, since there are people in the same environment who make the choice to not make the same decisions.

Recognizing the larger forces at play is important, but this movement of shifting away personal responsibility is also a detriment.

I’d make them come to me unless it was someone on their deathbed. A literal life or death scenario.

Education is not a good defense when you weren’t given any different education than the rest. And it seems like an ideology that they choose even among those more educated and wealthier. This whole only poor uneducated fall for lies is misleading and passes off personal responsibility.

They are the ones who chose despite others not doing so. And even the worst people are capable of moments of kindness, but it doesn’t change who they are at their core and what they choose to believe when they don’t have to selectively filter themselves.

And feel bad for them all you want. It doesn’t change that people around the world are suffering because of their decisions that empowered the people in charge, since they believed they would be the exception.

Got to be really deranged to vote for a candidate that ran on a platform of revenge and hate, and there’s at the minimum 70 million of those types of Americans which outnumbers many individual countries. Americans suck and don’t seem nice. Too many bad apples.

Don’t visit unless it is a life or death situation. I wouldn’t want to go into country that wants to finger print me, hand over social media, and copy my devices.
