Do they track the number of times a specific title was checked out?
I’m sure that info is pretty valuable to track reading trends.

As things stand now yeah I agree with you. However I think if more people were to start leaving the US to escape things here they would clamp down.
- Comment on Insulin 5 days ago:
You should probably care a bit more because literally everyone who meets you is probably going to think you’re a self-indulgent ass
- Comment on Insulin 5 days ago:
Don’t worry when you grow out of being a tankie people will start taking you seriously
- Comment on Insulin 5 days ago:
I suspect you’re not anywhere near as smart as you believe yourself to be.
- Comment on Insulin 5 days ago:
Yeah I stand by my statement, you can regurgitate things I agree with but you’re absolutely insufferable.
When the people who agree with you think you’re an asshole you’re fucking up badly.
Go learn some social skills and try again.

Man you really need to work on your communication if you want anyone to listen to you.
This is very much so a you problem because you’re not going to get far acting like this to people who agree with you.

Lol ok tankie

That guy is a fucking idiot apparently. I hope they get the mental help they obviously need

Wow such maturity

You lost me with thebrepeated “amerikkkan” thing.
A: It completely undercuts the seriousness of your comment and makes the whole thing come off as a tirade by an edgy teenager.
B: Jokes don’t get funnier every time you repeat them, it was mid the first time and eye roll worthy by the 3rd.
I agree with your points, just sucks that you chose to present it in such a juvenile way.

Why would that strike you as unlikely? It’s extremely likely because most countries that people would want to flee to already have extradition agreements with the US.
All the US has to do is declare you a fugitive and those countries will pick you up and ship you back.
Especially with how petty this administration has been.
- Comment on Insulin 5 days ago:
It’s already happening, there’s been a deluge of affluent people leaving the US.
We’re still at the stage where it takes considerable privilege to just leave everything behind and pay the exit extortion (40% of all your shit).
Once things get worse and people have nothing to leave behind you’ll start seeing the engineers/doctors escaping.
- Comment on Lemmy Politics 6 days ago:
I agree except I save my open mindedness for people who aren’t usually bad actors.
It’s not worth the time or erosion of sanity to give them the benefit of the doubt.

When I see a tankie I assume they’re a high schooler who just learned what leftist politics are or a mentally ill adult who never grew out of that stage.

Tankies call people 1 angstrom to the right liberal as a slur and 2 angstrom is nazi

I’m such a degenerate, I saw evangelicalism and thought it was a religion for neon genesis evangelion.

I’m probably 1 but I can tune stuff out.
Stuff like “you are now manually breathing” doesn’t really bother me.
I’ve also got a lot of intrusive thoughts so maybe I’m just practiced at shutting it down.

Literally everyone does this tho. It only feels like everyone else because you can’t be aware of when you’re not thinking.

Demsoc = democratic socialist. They’re the more progressive wing of the American left that’s beginning to take power from the neoliberals.
They basically just want a system like what Europe has instead of our current system of crony capitalism.
Afaik it’s the biggest American political movement that Europe would consider to actually be on the left part of the spectrum.

JK pushed a tweet out explaining that she always envisioned Hermione as a black girl.
It was at the beginning of her descent into madness.
- Comment on Clicks, Eyeballs, Engagement 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been feeling more and more that I want to quit the internet almost entirely.
Like you can’t get away from it completely and gaming is still fun but all of the social aspects have either become slop or incredibly toxic.

“Not the only black character in harry potter btw”
Yeah everyone forgets about Hermione

- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 2 weeks ago:
They may be trying to muscle in on traditional console territory.
Steam has a well tenured reputation for having inexpensive games. They may be leveraging this to appeal to the console players turned off by the all recent price hikes.
I suspect the gabecube may be close to if not, at cost. I don’t think it’ll be at a loss.
Gabe has previously claimed that they developed the index because they didn’t want VR to die and even gave grants the game developers who made VR titles.
So it’s established that Steam is big enough and secure enough to risk cultivating new or disrupting old markets.
Operationally steam has low overhead and insane profit margin. Unless they fuck up the steam store they’re guaranteed massive profit.
If the new hardware flops and they lose a bit of money; Gabe just buys one less yacht and steam ticks on as normal.
