The only reason for a man to be so concerned about another man’s sexuality, is they want to be a part of it.
- Comment on Amazon cutting thousands of corporate roles [including video games] 20 hours ago:
Apology accepted. But you should be aware context is what comes before and after the video, not during it. This is probably the source of your misunderstanding.
- Comment on Amazon cutting thousands of corporate roles [including video games] 21 hours ago:
My history teacher showed “The Birth of a Nation” in class in high school one week and they weren’t attempting to indoctrinate us into white supremacy.
There was context to the videos that you’re ignoring. This has been a common theme amongst the fascists in America lately. Don’t let yourself be taken advantage of.
- Comment on Amazon cutting thousands of corporate roles [including video games] 21 hours ago:
They JUST released an expansion so they weren’t expecting this. As a result they just made it free so people can play it before shutdown.

Its the language set for your client UI I wager.
- Comment on Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed? 2 months ago:
It makes me laugh when Europeans makes these comments. If you want to see more European centric content… post it. Its free to do.
People write as though Americans need to stop interacting with the platform, when the solution is really to increase European engagement, which falls on them to do.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 2 months ago:
I call and complain for crap like this all the time now. I make sure to let them know I bitch to all my friends and coworkers about it too.
My latest crusade is restaurants that put 4% service fees to help pay for people’s health insurance. Just raise the price on the individual items on the menu. Making me math out what you are actually charging like that is bullshit.
- Comment on Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me? 2 months ago:
Yes, he is her senior by quite a bit. He would be compelled to pay under these circumstances.
I’m American and we dont have such strict cultural roles, but at 37, I would have absolutely treated my much younger friends or coworkers in any 1 on 1 situation that I initiated.

Who’s allowing it because of the time waiting? Are they in the room with us? >.>
- Comment on I'm very Jesus-like 3 months ago:
Wether it’s acceptable or not is irrelevant to scrolling through social media or the existence of memes, moth or otherwise. Seeing some memes after years of people endlessly posting about the various conflicts, (because you are tripping hard of you think ko one has been talking about the genocide on this website…) doesn’t imply anyone thinks its “acceptable” to allow it (or is allowing it?).
- Comment on Too many non-working holidays in America. 4 months ago:
I didn’t even get to take off yesterday. Fuck this guy.
- Comment on I'm gonna mute this one 4 months ago:
In this case, at least lately, it less a brush stroke and more of a high resolution camera.
Once you support extremists, the argument of nuance becomes almost irrelevant to the rest of their victims.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer (Available Today!) 6 months ago:
I was getting a stable 30fps on mid settings. Having played at home at much higher resolution, I see you lose a lot, but its still very playable.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer (Available Today!) 6 months ago:
It plays well on the steam deck day 1 as well, if that matters to anyone here. I played the first 2 hours on my deck from work with no issues.
Shaders took like 10 minutes but the rest of the load times were all fine.
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 6 months ago:
1 point for me as well, but I had never recorded radio to a cassette. Same age.
- Comment on 'Doctor Who' Star Varada Sethu Fires Back at 'Woke' Critics: 'It Means We’re Doing the Right Thing' 6 months ago:
What do we call it when the show has politics you agree with but you still think its too heavy handed and the messaging constantly feels like you’re being talked down to?
- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 8 months ago:
It’s always this. History has borne it out.
- Comment on "Captain America: Brave New World" has received a B- on CinemaScore, the lowest score for an MCU film. 8 months ago:
He’s an ensemble character actor. He would be terrible on his own, and I think he’s gotten worse with each appearance.

- Comment on I met someone who had this tattooed 9 months ago:
I think anywhere we still use butter is still great. It’s where we replaced it with the “various hydrogenated oils of mysterious origin” that we lost our way. Once we could no longer believe it wasn’t butter, we lost the plot.
- Comment on I met someone who had this tattooed 9 months ago:
How someone thinks of America and not France when thinking of butter is beyond me. I just assume they’re unfamiliar with their respective culinary achievments.
- Comment on UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting latest: Suspect left New York City by bus, police say 10 months ago:
They are in this instance, since I didn’t aid them.
- Comment on UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting latest: Suspect left New York City by bus, police say 10 months ago:
We are just going to disagree on the little details here. It seems you are capable of seeing circumstances where people can have sympathy with the killer if their victim is atrocious enough. We’re just quibbling over details now.
- Comment on UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting latest: Suspect left New York City by bus, police say 10 months ago:
Of course I do. You know it’s possible to justify murder without having a personal dislike of the person?
I’m against institutionalized violence, but I can get behind a victim seeking retribution. The rule of law is not applied evenly, as you can plainly see with the manhunt for this shooting victim vs countless others. Because of that, I don’t pretend to be a believer in letting the justice system handle the dispensation of justice solely.
Maybe you should stop viewing it as a murder and start seeing it as mob justice. That wouldn’t have to happen if our institutionalized justice system functioned correctly.
- Comment on UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting latest: Suspect left New York City by bus, police say 10 months ago:
OR they actually dislike the CEO and don’t feel bad about seeing the cumuppance of someone who’s decisions while performing their role has caused an increase in suffering and death.
You don’t need a gun in your hands to bring death and suffering to those around you. Sometimes all it takes is a pen, callous disregard for others and a desire for self enrichment.

Dreamland.
- Comment on Scalper economy 10 months ago:
There are as many houses as people want but not all the the quality or location they want. Manufactured homes can be dropped on lots for a fraction of the price. People live in the central valley and commute so they can have a home for much less. The world will never have everything everyone wants the way they want it. Thats not this world.
- Comment on Scalper economy 10 months ago:
If them buying it denied other legitimate buyers with the same purchasing power from doing so, then yes. A home is too unique a purchase to be scalped though. It’s like art in that the house is the only 1 one available exactly like it. The same exact house built on a corner or further in on the block have different values.
2 pairs of the exact same sneaker treated the same from the same production run are practically identical. Market manipulation through scalping is the only method to raise it’s price at the time of market sale.
Tickets have a limited duration they hold ANY value so their prices can be manipulated through scalping too.
Houses just shouldn’t be in the same conversation.
- Comment on Scalper economy 10 months ago:
A home is 1 form a shelter. The luxury form. Much in the way a Ferrari is a form of transport vs a bike. The meme doesn’t show shelter in the context of a basic right. It’s showing a luxury good among other luxury goods.
- Comment on Scalper economy 10 months ago:
What the hell does that have to do with luxury goods? The house is the only thing you Might not consider a luxury good because you need housing but, owning your own property and not sharing walls with a neighbor is in fact, a luxury.
