Hell yeah. More games I've never heard of and will never play. That's my jam.

I'm sure it's someone's jam though so I'm happy for them.

That looks like a picture of a dad, his daughter, and his grandson.

"And not only are we not going to do anything about it, but we are actively seeking new and exciting ways to make the problem worse for the sake of profit."

Their researchers say this just days after people were talking about them secretly updating their privacy policy to allow them to steal your shit for AI. I honestly wanna start pirating everything, even the stuff I don't need to, just because if they can steal my shit without my consent I should be able to steal theirs. At the end of the day they're the ones making money off of stealing but I'm the bad guy?

If they can download and use our content without consent and for free, then we have every right to download and use their content without consent and for free. Corporations are just as much people as we are so I don't see any problem with this.

Well, I mean at this rate I'll be able to afford a house by using my retirement money. As long as I keep a part time job until I die.

You mean they don't want to.

When it comes to protesting like this I don't really give a shit if someone paints over parts of a building. But the books themselves? That's just fucked up. I understand they are trying to get people pissed over this but this is entirely the wrong way to do it. All this will do is make everyone pissed off at you instead. I'd say a good rule of thumb for protest graffiti is whether or not it can still be used after it's been covered in paint. Graffiti on a wall doesn't make the wall unusable. But if someone put graffiti on the windshield of my car I'd be so pissed off I wouldn't give two shits about the message.

If you read that whole section in that whole "project 2025" disaster they actually say that they want to outlaw porn entirely and imprison anyone that makes porn because it's "infected with transgender propaganda" or whatever. My new go to response for people saying they are gonna vote for Trump is asking if they watch porn. I quickly realized the majority of people that are voting for Trump that are my age don't even know the contents of Project 2025.

We're all kids. We just have responsibility now so we have to pretend we don't want to sit around and play with Legos all day. None of us have "figured it out" and the only reason it seemed like adults knew what they were doing when we were kids was because adults were old enough to have fucked everything up at least once.

The best part about late stage capitalism is that all the worst people have all the money to do whatever the hell they want.

You're goddamn right I do.

It's crazy how fatal falls can be for ANYONE. Seriously. I've seen people fall off a 4 foot ladder and have it be fatal. Or slip on ice. Or just trip on something. I'm also a kinda tall clumsy person so I think about this a lot too. Plus I've taken OSHA classes on fall protection which only made it worse. :)

This is a very common thing outside the bubble that is the US. In fact, before COVID it was totally normal to see people wearing masks when they were sick in public places. A little strange to see, but still normal and nobody really cared. People didn't give two shits back then versus now where they stick out like a sore thumb. Before you'd see someone wearing a mask and think "oh, they might be sick" and move on with your life before you even had a chance to put it into your long term memory. It's not that it's weird to wear a mask. It's that everyone forgot that it used to not be weird at all. The fact that they are getting judged in the first place would seem completely ridiculous 5 years ago.

The fact that there is a stigma in the first place is incredibly silly. Masks are a great tool to prevent getting others sick. It's like if someone made fun of you for using a screwdriver instead of doing it by hand.

I wear one when I'm sick. Outside of places like the United States it's actually very common to wear masks when you are sick. There used to not be a stigma about masks even in the US before COVID. This is because masks were never meant to be used as a way to prevent getting sick but as a way to not get others sick, therefore slowing the spread of disease. Somewhere over the past few years the lines got crossed and everyone started calling masks bullshit because they misinterpreted the actual use for them. Doctors don't wear masks because they don't want to get sick. They wear them so they don't get their patients sick.

I'm just a dude cruising around here browsing "everything" while at work instead of doing my job, so I know I don't really have a say here. But I just wanted to say something...

First off, I 100% support everyone that is in this community. I'm bisexual myself and I will always support everyone involved. But I just gotta say... This acronym is getting a little long these days. I understand that everyone wants to be represented and I have nothing against that. I'm just saying we only got 19 letters left.

Anyway, this is just the opinion of a bored dude procrastinating at work.

Watched the first season before Amazon added ads to their streaming. It was pretty decent. Not decent enough to watch ads or pay more.

"hey christians! do you sin? now you can buy your way out of hell!"

What's the fucking point of court if the worst corporations don't even have to show up? That's just fucking stupid.

I understand completely. My main concern however is not startup companies. I'm all for supporting smaller companies. It's more like huge corporations where the CEO takes the majority of the money and probably spends more time on vacation than actually doing anything. Even though I'm sure they do more than I am letting on, I don't think it justifies millions or even billions of dollars in pay and bonuses. If they started the company that's one thing. However most CEO's of large corporations are so far removed from the initial founding of the company they basically have less to do with what the company does than the average employee. The amount of money these companies could make if they actually put that money back into it is potentially higher than current profits. It's really a win-win situation for everyone except for the CEO instead of just a win for the CEO and nobody else.
