- Comment on Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell 3 days ago:
They don’t sell enough. These companies want endless growth and endless sales so they can milk the whales for endless revenue. Narrative rich, story driven games don’t sell as much as pay to win or gacha trash.

These charges are being brought up in a state controlled by Democrats.

- Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? 1 month ago:
… Unless you’re going to tell me her campaign was somehow unaware of this fairly widely published IMEU poll.
They were in a bubble of other blue-no-matter-who media and were assured by the consultants from Clinton’s campaign and the Labour Party that they could ignore those polls.
So really, it would have taken a big enough push from the public that MSNBC became anti-genocide. Hypothetically it could have happened, but the Democratic base is too disorganized to pull that kind of bottom-up messaging coup off.
- Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? 1 month ago:
If Democrats knew they’d lose for supporting genocide,.they wouldn’t have done it. It’s precisely because blue-no-matter-who voters convinced them that they were invincible that they ended up losing. They thought they could bully the base into voting for them because enough of the base was willing to be bullied and proud of it.
On the other side, Trump is more likely to lose the war on Palestine.

Technically you can grow them with corn, but the US doesn’t do companion planting so 🤷♀️
- Comment on Stop Wasting Pumpkins! 1 month ago:
Pumpkins are pretty low on my priority list, but entertainment isn’t really a good reason to throw useful stuff away. It’s a waste of water, waste of growing space, waste of fuel for harvest and transportation, and obviously a waste of food.
- Comment on Stop Wasting Pumpkins! 1 month ago:
It’s still waste even if the primary purpose is wasteful.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 1 month ago:
For corporations, yes. Profits are always the money left after expenses that are taken as surplus. I suppose there’s also cooperatives, which redistribute the profits to the member-owners.
But profits are for the owners. That’s how private property works?

And rarely peaceful.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 1 month ago:
Profits by definition only go to the owners and investors. Once they’re seized by the government they’re no longer profits, they’re company expenses.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 1 month ago:
As long as they’re generating profits then that wealth will not go to the people who lose their jobs. They’ll just be a surplus population.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 1 month ago:
The ideal corporation has no labor and only profits. Somehow.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 1 month ago:
Because of the devastating year for layoffs.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
