  Fair enough. A lot of people who claim to be liberal or moderate who are decided left is pretty high actually. Even amongst the right I bet a lot would be left but they’ve been led to believe it’s bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨silly costume dance⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  So many now believe the propaganda that liberalism, especially neo-liberalism, is “left.”

  Agreed, he was an anger management issue on two legs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shart of The Deal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You are correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shart of The Deal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A Zionist twat. Hope terrible things happen to him.

  They’re a temporary bump in the metrics which are measured by shareholders. They’ve also become short sighted morons who only care quarter to quarter and not long term sustainability. Why? Because the average age of most of the larger ones are other companies ran by people well over 60 who will die before it happens.

  Satire in text form isn’t as simple to pull off as in visual media. Body language and tone matter a lot. As well Poe’s Law is in full effect anymore and someone having this view is actually not rare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is worried about AAA sales⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  GOOD. The AAA gaming industry deserves to be destroyed, the main thing is they’re happy to be considered art but don’t treat it that way at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's a matter of motivation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So did I, but I’m more referring to the Wall Street and CEO as well Billionaire types who wouldn’t do anything if they didn’t get more out of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's a matter of motivation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m convinced people who believe that are some of the biggest shit stains on the planet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holy moley⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I vaguely remember seeing that before, I know that studies of people’s brains shows an actual, physical difference. With the centers for emotional response, especially fear, larger in typically Republican voters while those left of them don’t have as large portions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holy moley⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Between work, here, and other things pulling at me, got confused what it was about. My apologies.

  For the actual topic, though, I still don’t see Dems are more than the control opposition party. You throw enough at most of them and they’ll let you do something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holy moley⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The only difference is that the Democrats wouldn’t be threatening to end the civilization. AIPAC and thus Israel has our country by the proverbial testicles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holy moley⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll say it, sometimes the FO of FA for right wingers is to lose someone. They only understand when it personally affects them in some capacity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holy moley⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re at the last one because they’ve removed all the others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holy moley⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a difference between 2A folk really. You have the right wing which view it as a tool of power and wield it with little to no responsibility. Then the left as a tool against oppression that one should take care with. There’s far fewer left leaning attacks like this than there is right leaning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holy moley⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They straight up executed Alex Pretti. He wasn’t resisting, they were beating the shit out of him, then the guy just draws his gun, walks up to him, and puts rounds into him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's wrong with Ellen DeGeneres?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Alleged though likely cases of just being a real shitty person to workers on stage. People off set have remarked she’s an asshole as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fake News⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t one of the reasons was realization hygiene was important so helped cut down on spread of it after a while?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people with college degrees and an education, still act so fucking stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Education in one field doesn’t mean so in all. I still do some things that may be considered stupid, it’s just habitual at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welp we had a good run fam RIP⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ligma.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welp we had a good run fam RIP⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re fucked, the Earth is still going to be here for billions more years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have a plan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The people we wouldn’t like would scurry away from there the second things look bad, so no need to bomb it. Just have to hunt them down with boots on the ground really.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Purposely making code and behind the door deals to exclude any browser development or success for years does, yes.

  Steam didn’t destroy ownership of games, scuzzy business practices in the entire industry did. It also affects non-gaming software, movies, most media actually. It wasn’t Valve going “Let’s remove ownership!” In fact it has crept into the physical realm with right to repair and subscription services in cars.

  So is Netflix a monopoly then because it wiped out video rental stores? It wasn’t Valve alone again, it was a collusion in the video game industry to go all digital to maximize profit and not have to make concessions to retailers. That’s why they also tried their own platforms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope on Microsoft. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…/_Microsoft_Corp. It was restricting the web browser market.

  Point two, it’s if they also hamper competition or capabilities to compete. Steam, as shown in this thread and how it operates, hasn’t done that. Now you can give a good thumb of the nose at Epic for their paid exclusives, but that didn’t get them anywhere toward dominating a market. Also, competition exists in various forms as well. It’s not monopolized.

  I hate monopolies and no friend of big companies, but come at them with the right cudgel, not made up dross.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Gabe Newell is still a billionaire and thusly a piece of shit. Just that one the list of billionaires he’s on the lower end of ones needing rectifying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars and Jurassic Park music composer John Williams, aged 94⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, fair enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars and Jurassic Park music composer John Williams, aged 94⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t fucking scare me like that!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When I think of monopolies, I think more of telecomms, of Wal-Mart and their selling at a lose to kill off competition, Microsoft purposely hindering the ability for competing software, and other examples. Unless I’m missing something, Steam didn’t do that, they were just first in the game and built a better product than the others did. Offering a better service that attracted customers. Now do I think it’s too large and would welcome competition, absolutely. But monopolies typically aren’t though just having larger market share with a better product.

  If Steam did something like oh, pay developers/publishers to be exclusive to their platform, then yeah you’d have a good argument there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have a sibling that's hogging all the wifi bandwidth, what do you do about it without leading ot a confrontation?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s your problem! Those things are made by the lowest bidder and offer poor reception. As well try putting his devices on a different wifi channel, too many devices on one channel clogs the channel and slows it down.
