Is China tailoring the content to politics or are political influencers just better at pandering to people with blatant lies. Either way tiktok and other social networks should have more controls in place to filter misinformation but I’m curious if the affect is intentional or incidental.
It sucks we have to vote on people instead of policies.
Tbf, this is basically him being presidential. Good on him for showing the people what he’s really about. Nothing.
Blame the publishers then. They set the price and they dictate the bonuses of the devs based on sales. Choosing to believe more money from the game store is actually making its way to devs instead of shareholders is naive at best.
This argument about cost of development would hold more weight if the game store savings were passed onto the users rather than just eaten up by the publishers. Borderlands 3 base game has the exact same price on steam vs EGS atm, £49.99. Clearly those 20% savings are just extra money the publisher wants to pocket rather than actual necessary costs to the game. If their happy to pass it off to steam when sold on the steam platform rather than raise the price to recoup the platform tax.
It’s false equivalence to claim steam has a monopoly when you’re literally giving epic a monopoly on your games for financial kickbacks between yourselves that in the best case doesn’t impact the user and worst case actively compells them to a much worse platform. What epic and gearbox did is monopolistic, what steam did is just make a good enough product that no one gives a sh*t about EGS. If you want an actual competitive store front, make something your users want, not your business partners. Gog is struggling but it’s still my first goto for games because even if it’s missing all of steams functionality, it gives me ownership of games that can’t just be revoked or broken by publishers. That’s a value add I’m willing to pay for. Paying more so publishers can make more money and sell a worse experience through EGS ain’t moving me.
Omg. No. He did not pull a russ hannaman. Tell me it ain’t true XD.
Doubt it. Foreign countries having leverage over you is basically the hallmark of trumps presidential position.
Tbf all the other candidates are also republicans. I’d pay just to find out how big the dossier of the alternatives would get.
ISTG if trump loses, incites another insurrection and we still don’t put him jail I don’t know what the point of it is anymore.
just bacon
You sir/madam have just earned my vote. Where do I register?
Like… Trump. The guy with no political experience or cohesive message who seemed to do it just cause he could. We kept thinking the next big scandal was what would end his campaign but then he won and somehow had even more scandals in office. No ones arguing unconventional people can’t win. But do you want a leader you want to support or one you don’t. Cause right now the dividing line is we don’t want trump, not we want Biden and that makes him a liability.
In a race to the bottom I never bet against trump. Literally if Biden stops talking today I bet he’d have a better chance of winning by the end of it.
I’m sure one who isn’t a senior citizen wouldn’t struggle to justify their cognitive ability for the role.
Well hey, the roman empire had a pretty good run for a bit. Let’s roll the dice and see /s
In all seriousness I don’t know how America as a country can survive giving presidential authority to a insurrectionist figure head and open political pawn. There’s a point where you realise the political institutions do not and have not ever served your best interests and that sh*t always ends badly.
I wish our political leaders were rational enough to listen when everyone tells them their wrong and that their putting ego before their responsibilities.
If the left leaning voters choices are the centrist Democrats or the rightest republicans it’s not too strange for them to not vote when no one really seems to represent their values. Although I think they definitely should cause the scales are tipping in the wrong direction, but it isn’t their fault it’s the Democrats who prefer a shaky status quo to actual leftist policy. If either party wants to drum up votes and actually pretend to be democratic they should put proportional representation as a goal for their next term. That way at least the oligarchachal tyranny of the minority could be repressed. Of course neither does cause republicans will lose and Democrats don’t want to risk and actual leftist party overtaking them when Americans aren’t forced into the 2 party system.
I wish we lived in a world where our political leaders were transparent enough to do that. There’s so much fronting and pandering I just don’t believe anything anyone claims to say anymore because more often than not their just after some reaction from me. The only reason anyone should have to give for quitting their job is “I don’t feel well enough to continue”.
This is neat, but I’m still waiting for pkpass support. It’s so annoying apple has a standard format for passes and google doesn’t and also doesn’t bother to support them even though their more widely used.
Wasn’t the gas chambers planned because German soldiers kept going crazy executing people directly. Even if you’re trained and brainwashed shooting a child in the back of the head is gonna mess you up (especially more than once). Dehumanising the victims, putting them into work camps, moving them to a room where the overseer can flip a switch. It was all to make you see them as less than human and make it easier to not connect the act of killing them to taking a life. Of course there were a whole lot of absolutely f*cked up monsters but I feel really bad for all the nazis who got sucked into a brainwashed cult and by the time they realised what they were doing they had no out left.
