I like bickering about useless nonsense with people who most definitely will not be changing their minds. Yes, I know it's a waste of time. No, I don't plan on stopping.

  • The problem Stop Killing Games is targeting is the DRM for these games that require a server ran by the publisher to always be accessible when you play the game. Pirated or not, all you’ll be greeted with after said servers are shut off is at best a large majority of the game being inaccessible, and at worst a perpetual error screen.

  • I find it very strange that we hate cops so much only to immediately turn around and revere people who’ve served in the military.

    They both serve the state, the only difference (and a relatively arbitrary one at that) is the police suppresses internally whereas the military suppresses externally. They’re both geared toward the exact same end of controlling the opposition.

    You can say that “they’re just following orders” but I don’t think I should have to go into detail about the pitfalls of that argument.

  • Palantir Humanity is a global threat to humanity

    FIFY

  • Again, that’s only from your (biased) viewpoint. I’m sure you or I can say that with relatively little consideration from our cushy positions in wealthy countries, but try and get, say, the average Sudanese citizen to agree with that. It’s really not gonna work.

    Plus to agree with your sentiment is to say that capitalism is worth the suffering it causes. I’m gonna have to disagree with that on principle.

  • Only if you’re basing your assertion on inherently biased criteria. For many in the west it’s better sure, but what about the majority of people in impoverished countries, or less fortunate people in general? How about non-human species that have been losing their natural habitats to pollution and global warming inch by inch, or just human interference in general? Or even species that have been outright driven to extinction by human activity?

    I’m not so sure any of that is worth it for a new smart phone every year with only marginally better features. And I hear the new hyped-up technology is pretty much the epitome of an infinite amount of monkeys on typewriters desperate to type up Shakespeare.

  • It’s closer to the opposite tbh. The Boys more often than not outright mimicked reality to make its commentary obvious as opposed to actually practicing good writing hygiene. It didn’t really have anything further or more unique to say than: “look, US politics and culture but… superhumans!!!”

  • If we’re going by how good each perp was at covering their tracks, Luigi’s still on top considering he’s still on trial. Abe’s assassin was basically immediately arrested and confessed right off the bat.

  • He’s got chode energy for sure

  • This but for social media in general

  • I wish there was a way to filter out tankie-slop posts like this

  • Yo 👊

  • Saturn devouring his son but nonchalantly

  • Explain this then pal… bet you can’t

  • One time on Bluesky I made unfortunate contact with a psycho that genuinely believed bigotry could be a good thing “if applied correctly.” It’s basically liberal MAGA over there

  • Nobody needs to eat shit for nutrition, common sense says in ruling against shit peddlers

  • This stupid new slang meaning for the word can fuck off.

    This is how languages evolve regardless. It doesn’t really matter if you still use ‘gay’ to describe how happy you are, you’re still going to needlessly confuse people by using it like that nowadays.

  • The amount of control they exercise over their congregants and money they require to stay in good standing is astronomical compared to lost other christian denominations.

    Wait til you hear about how greedy the Catholic Church was before & during the Reformation. New denomination, same religion. This is just how faiths inevitably evolve.

    Also Mormonism—though I hate using this aphorism because it’s not even true—is as American as apple pie, there’s really no threat to be spoken of here in the usual sense of the word. It’s existed for more or less 200 years now, subsisting along with every other facet of its surrounding culture. Mormonism is American society, it wouldn’t have become so widespread without it.

  • Tragedy of the commons.
