Is this the new Hasbara talking point being pushed by Israel PR? First that Obama speechwriter says it and now Hillary

What are these comments? This is a comm for people who like movies? It's a Safdie movie that by all accounts is at least decent, even if it flirts with "Oscar bait". Weird to almost revel in its box office failure.

Kinda surprised how long it took to scroll before seeing Ico and SOTC mentioned, tbh.

Crown jewels of PS2, imo. Pushed the medium forward artistically.

Gamepass only ever made sense to people who had time to play or dabble in a sufficiently large amount of games per year and felt the need to play some new titles soon or immediately instead of waiting. Otherwise, eventually your total subscription costs would outpace the total cost to purchase what you played, especially if purchased on sale at a later date. And the value gets worse if you ever replayed a game (s).

I'll never really understand the excitement about this service. It was always a Trojan horse.

Why would that stop them? This fascist machine didn't just turn on.

Trump was literally shot last year. Surely that was a more fitting moment

There's a difference between voters and the party establishment

That's why it's a called a "reaction"

What's your point? Are you banning the entire Internet?

All this stuff is still accessible once the bell rings and before they get to school, just like it was when I was a kid. Kids were still going on YouTube/MySpace/ Facebook and more to share things. This argument doesn't make sense.

You're attributing the issue of algorithms to the medium itself.

Yep. There's a reason I moved over even before the v4/2011 fiasco

I like that there is a large contingent of actual socialists whether soc dems, anarchists or the dreaded tankies.

I like that there is a greater anti corporate mindset and I'm less likely to see someone justify something because "well what do you expect, businesses exist to make money".

I like that there are so many Linux and open source enthusiasts. And privacy enthusiasts. Used to be big on Reddit but became more and more niche over time.

I like that there aren't pun threads. Maybe that's not really true culture but more contrast with Reddit.

Then stop running defense for them. They're another party of millionaires and capitalists

Our vote are public, anyone can see them.

Yeah, but those that go and look to confront users are absolute losers. And I'd love mbin to fail for that "feature"

It's not conspiracy.

This is what happens when you make your website amenable to conservatives. That sub has grown more popular through the years and it's thanks to its satellites like KiA and others that organized and spread conservative messaging.

And right now they're taking victory laps so of course it's got a lot of activity

When the topic is "people are overwhelmingly misinformed on this specific issue", then yeah basically that's how it goes.

If I made a meme about how too many people associate vaccines with autism or whatever, and I got a bunch of comments from anti-vaxxers saying just that, then yeah I think the comments would provide additional evidence, yeah.

This thread is exactly why leftist unity communities need to make it clear to liberals that they aren't leftist.

Because otherwise you end up with what you see in these comments: a bunch of people in your "movement" who are completely willing to acquiesce to Capital

Please read literally any socialist theory. Or at least any criticism of the Nordic model from the left.

And understand that "middle ground" arguments are fallacious and something being the middle ground does not make it the better or correct option.

Edit: Why Social Democracy Isn't Good Enough - Second Thought

Your party didn't support gay marriage rights until what 2012 (at the behest of actual leftists and when it finally became politically expedient) and its major health care success was a Heritage Foundation plan full of means testing. It also actively supports an ongoing genocide.

Liberalism can never inherently provide a useful answer to the problems of capitalism, inequality, and climate change because it must protect private property rights and capital. Your party answers to corporate interests and that is a known fact.

Trump literally ran on anti-NAFTA and uses immigration as a scapegoat for peoples' economic woes.
