  • MAGA Spirals After Pro-Israel Politics Loses Big-Time in NY Election

    Jump

  • Everything from the right is a confession. A projection. They are stupid selfish people that struggle to understand other people.

  • Military services again requiring recruits to get flu shots as Air Force outbreak grows

    Jump

  • "Our new policy is simple: If you, an American warrior entrusted to defend this nation, believe that the flu vaccine is in your best interest, then you are free to take it; you should. But we will not force you," Hegseth said in April.

    Hegseth is a profoundly stupid person who should not be entrusted to make any decisions. He should be removed from power to spend the rest of his obscured life cleaning up litter or something similarly useful.

  • I try to prioritize the rare thing. Friends meeting up to play Frisbee in the park? Hades2 will be here when I get back. Let's go.

    But I'm also kind of a cheapskate, so if they were like "let's go to this fancy dinner and then a cocktail bar" I'd probably skip. Luckily most of my friends don't really have expensive tastes. $6 beer at the local bar, maybe a hangout where we bring $10-20 of snacks and drinks.

  • “Gaming is becoming unaffordable” — Xbox CEO says the industry has an accessibility crisis

    Jump

  • That's also a problem, yes. DRM free is best. I'm extremely reluctant to pay for a game I can't play offline as much as I want. (Barring MMOs and the like, I guess. Don't play a lot of those, myself)

  • All the wealth is being concentrated in the hands of too few people. I'm not going to buy a $120 game when my salary is down, or I'm just laid off.

  • Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says new multiplayer games are failing because players have no reason to leave their friend groups, touts Unreal Engine 6’s cross-game features as a solution

    Jump

  • It's a demand pointed out the entire capitalist hellscape, of which epic is a part, not them specifically.

    Sweeney's a billionaire. He could be pushing for labor to have a bigger slice of the pie. But he won't, because he's a soulless husk.

  • I don't have the personal budget to buy a lot of games. Pay me more and I'll spend more. Otherwise, fuck all the way off

  • Is this a joke?

  • Warrior, rogue or mage, why?

    Jump

  • Really depends on the details. If I can be an Awakened Mage then definitely that. With just the starting stats of mind/space or fate/time I would fix the world.

  • You go outside. You see this. What's your reaction?

    Jump

  • Have some dark fantasies, but probably not do anything about it. If I did see someone damaging the car or the owner, I don't know what you're talking about.

  • The author they're criticizing, McGinnis, sounds like a real asshole.

  • File under "some problems have easy solutions but would upset a handful of rich people", or maybe "...but would upset unqualified idiots"

  • Gen-Z socialism, from Zohran to Zack and beyond. The world’s leftists are embracing a new set of economic ideas

  • Whoever wrote that quoted bit is an asshole and fool.

  • Some people will do anything to continue to fit in with their group. I don't think it's always even a conscious choice.

  • Why Students Are Rejecting Silicon Valley's Vision Of The Future

    Jump

  • Has no one been pointing out to management that even firms like Microsoft are backpedaling on using AI?

    Management doesn't listen to low level people who actually do work. I think this is part of Ed zitron's "Business Idiot" thesis. Upper management is so far removed from how things actually get done, they are in all measureable ways idiots

    Sometimes they also have selfish or stupid side goals, too. Like, the rumor is the company gets a tax break for people going into the office. So now they make people go into the office, even when most of their team is remote. Climate criminals all, but they're removed from the consequences.

    Upper management are fools. Middle management just wants their paycheck, and maybe to rise high enough to become a business idiot themselves.

  • That's kind of like "no one goes there anymore - it's too crowded"

    I mean, the one I'm at is mostly doing a hiring freeze. Management is frothing at the mouth over using AI. But there are currently a lot of people working here, some full time and some under dubious "contractor" arrangements.
