  • Nazism and promotion of terrorism are explicitly illegal in some places, while death threats are not explicitly illegal everywhere. So does your opinion on these flip flop depending on where you live?

    How about grow a spine and get some morals of your own? Ones that are not dependent on whatever is legal where you are currently located.

    If nazism and promotion of terrorism are fine with you, I don't think you are going to find very many friends here.

  • I was going to add, as a user of both Steam and YouTube, I have seen far worse stuff in YouTube comments than I ever have on a Steam forum.

    I think part of this comes down to the fact that disgusting, hateful comments will pop up on almost any YouTube video in the comment section, but you actually have to navigate to Steam forums with this content.

    So, YouTube comments are thrown in your face and hard to not see, as they are right below the video, but Steam forum comments are at least hidden behind a few layers of clicks.

    I agree that singling out Steam as if it's the main problem, isn't going to fix anything, at all.

  • It was. If you go through the OP thread, one of the responses is a picture of the dialog window that this user clicked through saying, "these changes will be IRREVERSIBLE".

    The OP was just playing with a new kind of fire (VSCodes Git/source control panel) that they didn't understand, and they got burned.

    We all gotta get burnt at least once, but it normally turns us into better devs in the end. I would bet money that this person uses source control now, as long as they are still coding.

  • Since everyone else is being mean and just in case you didn't figure out where you went wrong here: You are replying to a comment that is stating that the GOP/modern right wing party in the US had its origins as a movement to protest against mandatory seat belts being made into a law in the US.

  • Now you've got me picturing headphones hooked up to microphones outside of your car. I wonder if that would work well or not.

    I have friends who refuse to play with headsets and then wonder why I'm so good at FPS compared to them. I've told them multiple times that it is solely the fact that I can locate enemies due to the headphones, yet they refuse to believe me, for some reason.

  • I think with the beginning stages of this kind of technology would work better with a removable option, for this reason. We are already getting able to make better human appendages, with super strength and dexterity, etc., but the touch is something that will probably be hard to implement for awhile.

  • This will involve educating people out of their neoliberal positions and ideas but it can be done.

    As I get older and meet more people, I find this goal harder and harder to reach. People are dumb.

    I think it starts with a smart and leftist, populist candidate, who can convince the dumb ones amongst us to follow them blindly. Then they will be educated by seeing how better things are for them under leftist leadership.

    Bernie, like you said, was basically trying to be this for the US.

  • For real. Dudes got 15-20 years left on this Earth, at the maximum. Stopping Trump and actually making sure he is charged for his crimes would be quite the footnote in the history books. I can't imagine being that old and passing an opportunity like that up, but then again I am a simple prole.

  • Putin will probably have him killed if he doesn't follow the plan, but I have a feeling Trump wants to follow the plan regardless.

    Putin/Russia doesn't have this power. I don't get the conspiracy that Russia is controlling the US government, when the shitshow in Ukraine has shown the incompetence of Russia on a grand scale. If anything this power dynamic is the other way around. The US has way more power and resources to make Putin disappear than Russia does to do the opposite.

    I do think you are correct that Trump just want to be allies with Putin and follow his plan. I don't think there is any coercion involved in this except maybe financial and diplomatic benefits to Trump. (for example, election interference/social media psyops)

    Basically, if Trump wasn't on board with this and allowing this conspiracy to happen, then Russia wouldn't even be relevant here.

  • That's a horrible outlook, and I'm sorry you've been driven to that point. I understand, as I have been there before.

    Now that I'm older, I realize that pulling the lever is the right thing to do as much as it hurts. I don't think letting apathy win and watching the government go full Fash was the correct choice, but I don't blame you, or others who decided the same. The system isn't going to collapse, though, it's just going to get a lot shittier for awhile.

  • Hey now, not all of them are racist. Some of them are misogynistic. There are some plain old stupid people in there, too.

    There's also some people who meant well, but their hearts were just bigger than their brains.

  • Orange asshole is definitely going to get more of those court appointments over the next 4 years. And they will all pretty much be there for the rest of our lives. Any sort of sense of democracy that the US had was probably dealt a death blow today.

  • I am close to the same age and something feels different now. The Trump administration is many levels of degenerate beyond the Bush administration. Even Dick fucking Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris FFS. I think Trump is pretty far beyond neocon, unfortunately. Just straight up Fascist.

    The Neocons may have started rolling this snowball back then, but it is an avalanche now.

  • Assault and battery are tools used by terrorists in terroristic ways, though. It can be both.

    This isn't on the same level of terrorism as a whole group doing the terror, but it's still terrorism by definition, because it is politically motivated. This kid assaulted this old lady in order to terrorize her from exercising her political rights.

  • Works for now...

    They have stated they will be slowly removing v2 extensions for users instead of removing them all at once. So, they just haven't gotten to you yet. You will have to switch to use ublock lite, and it's not as good.

    Even if it does work for now, idk why you would want to support the company trying to get rid of necessary extensions and remove any sense of ownership of your own browser, like Google is doing.

    Just switch to FireFox and get it over with already.
