You call yourselves communists yet you sell things? For money? Curious.

People in their twenties or younger didn’t have that experrience, they’re not experiencing nostalgia, per se, but more of an adventure in an unfamiliar place.

I can only confirm for myself but yeah, I’m in my 20s and nostalgia is not at all what I felt playing through the Cyberpunkerinos

The romance parts of the game feel really tacked on in general.

Biden has also been dead for years but they haven’t even bothered to find a body double, the US just has a literal rotting corpse as its head of state

I hope humanity exists long enough for historians find this

Reminds me of my friend who’s getting a business degree showing me some of her lectures. Dunno the English terminology for it but it was something along the lines of “Customers will spend a certain percentage of their income on different needs/desires (food, rent, leisure etc) that scales linearly with their income”, down to assigning percentages to individual food items.

It took me like 30 seconds before I realized how completely insane and obvious nonsense that statement was. Someone who makes 500k a year obviously doesn’t spend 10x as much on eggs as someone who makes 50k. The sheer ideology in these presentation slides was genuinely shocking. Complete lunacy.

tl;dr business majors aren’t people.

They’re doing their best

I have a good PC now that can run AAA games, but unfortunately my internet still sucks and all AAA games are like 150 GB now so they take the entire day to download

I know Cenk Uygur is a lib and he’s posted a lot of cringe but I find his rants about Israel’s genocide cathartic to watch. He’s clearly very passionate about this despite his libposting about slogans on twitter.

I still remember when during the COVID pandemic I went to a testing station and the girl doing the testing told me I had “very nice nostrils”.

Had it not been a pretty girl around my age who said it, that would’ve probably creeped me out. Still the weirdest compliment I’ve ever gotten but we take those, fellas.

German newspaper Rheinische Post only had one article on its frontpage about the Gaza conflict

The headline said, and I kid you not, “Further missile attacks hit Israel from Gaza”

It was an article about how the missile alarms went off in Tel Aviv for a few minutes. I literally yelled out “You fucking dogs” when I saw it. This is so unbelievable

Either way, even shitty science should be freely accessible so your point doesn’t make any sense.

It really shouldn’t. We saw through the COVID vaccine hysteria just how harmful shitty science can be. A lot of people died completely preventable deaths because we live under the illusion that reason prevails under the free marketplace of ideas or some nonsense like that.

The male ego is annoying

My best friend is moving and she asked me and some others to help. We were 8 people, 4 girls and 4 dudes.

I myself am a very nerdy guy, I’m not in shape and have pretty skinny arms, and the other 3 guys were all much more pragmatic, I think all 3 work in trades and had more experience with manual labor. Now because I wanted to be a big man and not pussy out, I also helped carry the big furniture down the stairs and, uhh… I overexerted myself and had to leave after about 4 hours.

The other guys were all really nice and quite considerate, they could tell I was struggling and said “hey man, just say if you need a break, it’s a marathon, not a sprint” etc, but ofc I didn’t want to be the only guy who has to take breaks while carrying the couch down the stairs, especially not in front of the girls. Dumb masculinity shit.

Anyway, yeah, after I helped carry a big desk I could tell that I had overdone it, my right arm was hurting and I couldn’t imagine myself carrying anything else today. I had to excuse myself and go home. I genuinely think I did what I could, I helped a lot with cleaning and tidying up as well, but I still feel bad that I had to quit early.

all i could think was “you do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to elizabeth bathory”

The new Boy Boy vid is insanely jokerfying

Imagine being at some ghoul convention about immortality, and the guy on stage starts talking about Elizabeth Bathory.

If I point a gun to your head and tell you to send me all your bitcoin, you will probably do so, and then you will call the police to tell them that I robbed you at gunpoint. The police will then arrest me and make me return the bitcoin to you that I stole. When you call the police after I stole your Bitcoin, are you trusting a centralized authority to decide whether or not the transaction was legitimate? After all, if I check the blockchain, the transaction seems perfectly fine.

Blur and OpenSea, the leading NFT marketplaces, both have measures in place to attempt to stop the sale of stolen NFTs. Should we trust these centralized platforms to decide whether or not a token should be tradable? Should we demand they abolish these theft protections in the name of decentralization?

As long as there exists a state with an authority on violence, Bitcoin being decentralized is a mere technicality. All power comes from the barrel of a gun. If the state wants to take your Bitcoin to pay for another war, they can do so regardless of what the code says by simply having the police knock on your door.

Do you want to abolish the state altogether? If you think all centralized authority is bad, what are your thoughts on the crypto space getting increasingly centralized? What do you think about Yuga Labs buying up other top NFT collections? Should they be allowed to do this and if no, who should stop them? How does Bitcoin solve any of the problems you outlined and do you really think that if the government hadn’t been able to print money, they wouldn’t have found another way to bail the banks out?

Wtf this is literally George Foreman 1989

I thought you were gonna link to a source but instead you’re linking slam poetry you absolute bozo

Yeah, I said this sth related to this recently in a different thread. The protests have not brought material or legislative change, but they’ve shifted public opinion.

Uvalde also did a lot for this, I think. Cops are viewed more negatively and not trusted. Everyone saw basically an entire police department sit on their asses while children were massacred within hearing distance.

I would argue that, rather than people thinking “I don’t want to be a cop because I realized cops are evil”, for a lot of people who would’ve otherwise become one it’s more like “I don’t want to be a cop because people don’t like cops”.

Edit: Uvalde really was a catastrophe for the cops. It was a horrific atrocity, the worst thing imaginable, and completely stoppable. Everyone heard about it, everyone saw it, even the chuds had to condemn the police because of how indefensible it was. And it wasn’t just one cop, it was basically an entire battalion. It will be brought up every single time some bootlicker calls cops “brave”.
