It’s generally useful to think of these things in more nuanced terms than right or wrong. If/when they are unified, if will be a refinement.

You know there’s a Canadian sports exec named Dick Pound?
Mr and Mrs Pound had a baby, looked at it, and said “were going to name him Richard, and he will be known as Dick. With a hard D”.
Really makes you wonder.
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 1 week ago:
Those shares are also generally for sale for a high enough price. Given the immense current value of the brand, when Gabe dies vultures of every variety will start circling. If they offer employees 2x their share price to sell, enough of them will do it to lose control to investors that just want to enshittify everything and milk it’s brand for every last penny as they drive it into the ground.
- Comment on WTF Just Happened? | The Corrupt Memory Industry & Micron [GN] 2 weeks ago:
More and more products that were previously targeted at what was the middle class are now targeting solely the top 10% of income earners. It’s pretty tragic, and corrosive to the long term health of society.

I think that the reality of the situation is breaking through the Trump Delusion Syndrome a lot of these die-hards had and they are starting to see what really is going on and they’re pissed and silently fuming about it now.
The fundamental problem with this logic is that anyone dumb enough to have fallen for this in the first place (and to vote for Trump again in 2024) is more than dumb enough to fall victim to all the nonsense of the next election. There’s no way this momentary glimmer of rationality will survive an election campaign, and the utterly broken epistemology of these people is no closer to being fixed.

If anything they specifically avoided the payment issue most of the time. Having a team of 5 specialists just working on a diagnosis for one patient at a time is extremely expensive and most people (even those with some kind of insurance) wouldn’t be able to afford this. If anything they glossed over this entirely on the show.
- Comment on Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad? 2 months ago:
It’s more than that dude. Antifa is the perfect boogeyman for the right because it’s left wing, but also not and organization. Who is the leader of antifa? Where are they based? Who do you have to kill to eliminate antifa leadership? How does someone become a member of antifa? These questions have no answers because antifa is not an organization.
Those are also questions that the right wing media machine works hard to get their audience to never ask. That way, by demonizing antifa, they can use force against anyone because anyone they don’t like can be declared antifa, because no one can disprove their membership, because “antifa membership” literally isn’t a thing.
It’s carte blanche to do whatever they want.
It’s honestly just another symptom of Fox News brain rot. Their audience is trained not to ask any relevant questions. It was always going to end badly.

I would wager you have more of an idea of what a state of matter is than biologists do of what a species is. Humans like to put things into nest boxes but nature is under no deal obligation to cooperate.

- Comment on There's still no sign of Star Citizen 1.0, but it did just get a revamped referral program so the die-hards can tempt in even more saps 5 months ago:
The project is real, but it’s a mismanaged catastrophe.
It’s basically what happens when you have a project with overly understanding financiers, an overly ambitious creative head, and absolutely no concern whatsoever for avoiding scope creep.
Kind of amazing really. I can imagine in centuries past an architect becoming the personal favourite of a king so he just keeps making the palace he’s tasked to build more and more extravagant since the king keeps giving him more money endlessly.

I have a really old account from man years ago (probably payed $50ish for it). I want the same experience - just mostly giving around in a ship.
Sometime during covid I had time on my hands so I installed it, logged back in. Tried to get into my ship and a glitched basically got me stuck in the door of the ship. Also couldn’t die. Just stuck there . Restarted the game and tried again. Got stuck in the same spot.
Closed the game and uninstalled. I’ll check back in a few more years lol.
- Comment on Anon remembers moot 5 months ago:
I do think that Trump is the final metastisization of something that was already festering. I do think if not him, then someone.
This is absolutely true because Trump is fundamentally not a fluke, but rather the inevitable culmination of festering rot at the core of American culture. If not him, it would have been someone.

It’s not like it’s banned across Canada. They will still be available elsewhere on the island even.
This is just as dumb as local city and state gun laws in the US. Gun nuts point at them and point out how they don’t work. Like no shit they don’t work when you can just drive for 20 mins and get one.
