- Comment on Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes 15 hours ago:
That feeds back into what I was saying, it’s the same thing.
The first couple times you dick someone over for money, you’re gonna feel bad.
But everyone at the company is going to pat you on the back and say you’re a genius cuz numbers went up.
Anyone who says it wasn’t worth the numbers going up, gets fired.
The wealthy live in a bubble where the only people they interact with only care about money
Our whole capitalist society is a giant feedback loop that concentrates wealth and strips the wealthy of their humanity.
It’s not like there’s some problem where something is broken, this is the natural and logical result of how we’ve spent the last couple generations
Unregulated capitalism always ends in an oligarchy with most people penniless

But then again, maybe he is just another CEO asshole and has always been lol.
When you fire everyone that disagrees with you, it doesn’t take long to loose the ability to handle criticism.
Like, there’s a very good chance this guy has had absolutely nothing but praise while “working” on this game. So now that people whose job doesn’t depend on making him feel like a genius are giving feedback, it literally breaks his brain.
He most likely genuinely believes the game is perfect and all the criticism is from “trolls and haters” who are just lying because their jealous of his genius.
There’s a reason this attitude is so pervasive among the wealthy.
- Comment on 'My Advice to Users Is to Accept Reality and Tune, or to Not Play' — Randy Pitchford Is at the 'Get a Refund From Steam' Stage of the Borderlands 4 PC Performance Backlash 1 day ago:
Apparently the graphics are basically the same as 3, but performance is dog shit on even the best hardware and crashes are unavoidable.
When people complained, he said they need to use AI fake frame and upscale from 720. Which still wasn’t good performance.
It might get fixed later in updates. But this guy is handling so badly he might legitimately be mentally unwell. It’s at the point it’s weird he still has a job
- Comment on how do school shooters know how to use guns? 1 day ago:
Americans graduate from 12th at 17/18
So I think I’d have been 12, and it was a public generic school
And if that sounds too early, hunting season started like a week earlier than the class and another 12 year old in my class already had his license (lots did) but that kid climbed a fence with a loaded shotgun while hunting and blew off a couple of his toes.
So like, it’s hard to argue it was “too early” because the kids were already running around unsupervised with guns.
Before Columbine people would go hunting before school and if they didn’t get anything they’d come straight to school with their gun in the back window of their truck. After they just stopped leaving them clearly visible.
- Comment on how do school shooters know how to use guns? 2 days ago:
since kids aren’t usually allowed to train with guns
What?
I went to a rural school, and everyone had a “hunters education” class in like 7th grade. We never touched a gun but we could legally go hunting.
A shit ton of kids hunt, and most ranges are fine with kids if an adult is with them too.
Like, it varies state to state, but in lots of areas it’s weird for someone to graduate highschool before shooting a gun.
But besides all that, guns aren’t difficult.
so can any person with no expirience technically just pick up a gun and start shooting people?
So yeah, pretty much.

He was one of the only MAGA that wasn’t letting Epstein go, and he was all about everyone having guns
trump desperately wants people to stop talking about Epstein. And has always hated regular people being able to have guns.
I don’t think a cop accidentally shot him, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump had him shot.
Especially since Vance just threw the body on AF2 and flew it out of state within 24 hours
That’s not how you handle an investigation…

OP is apparently shocked that something that happens 0.0046% of the time isn’t a huge concern…
And that’s not even getting into how those “adverse reactions” includes such debilitating conditions as coughing.
- Comment on Psychiatrists fear medicinal cannabis adverse events are 'tip of the iceberg' 1 week ago:
600 sounds like a lot…
The ABC can reveal there were 615 reports made to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) involving unregistered medicinal cannabis products between July 1, 2022 and June 1, 2025.
600 over 3 years sounds like not as much…
“If we look at the data, which we have been provided by the Pennington Institute, it’s probably around 13 million units sold in that period.”
Bu 600 out of 13,000,000 is…
Well, that’s a 0.0046% percent chance of something happening.
And that should e placed n why people who know what they’re talking about aren’t freaking out.

For most men non-toxic men are not available for friendships
You’re openly contradicting yourself over and over and just insisting the majority of men are shit
Have fun with that I guess
- Comment on There is no good reason why there is still homelessness and poverty 1 week ago:
a system that arbitrarily concentrates most of it on a few people
It’s not arbitrary.
And the reason it’s so much worse now is the distribution.
If one family owned a company, they’d value long term brand loyalty over quarterly profits.
With a corporate board, they all own a piece that’s easily sold, and a whole bunch of other people who don’t have “enough” already. There’s no focus on long term company health, just that the percent return increases.
That’s just not sustainable.
So large corps but up companies, run them into the ground, then sell them off. Often replacing with shitty knockoff quality products under the same brand.
A private owner can be satisfied, a board will always demand the numbers go up.
- Comment on More people are joining the military. A shaky US job market could be boosting the numbers. 1 week ago:
No. This is reluctant people who don’t like trump joining the military because there are no other options
This lowers the percent of boots on the ground personal willing to do anything trump says.
Which…
Honestly should be obvious, but people still don’t want to think more than a step ahead for some reason. Which is the whole reason we’re in this mess to begin with; people not planning ahead.

You’re acting like it’s a physical impossibility…
I played sports thru college and then joined the military, me and my friends from that period hug when we see each other.
Nothing weird about it.
There are men who are too insecure to hug other men, which is what you replied to:
Sounds like you need better friends.
Men secure in their own masculinity don’t have any problems hugging other men.
- Comment on Trumps says Venezuelan jets will be 'shot down' if they endanger US ships 1 week ago:
There can be multiple assholes…
Like, Biden literally violated the Leahy law
(a) IN GENERAL. – No assistance shall be furnished under this Act or the Arms Export Control Act to any unit of the security forces of a foreign country if the Secretary of State has credible information that such unit has committed a gross violation of human rights.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leahy_Law
There was credible evidence US weapons were used in Israels’s genocide of Palestinians.
Congress didn’t immediately approve more aid, so Biden unilaterally (and illegally) went around Congress to provide arms that then were used to commit genocide.
Is trump worse?
Fucking obviously.
But Joe Biden is a fucking monster and Kamala repeatedly and proudly told anyone that would listen she’d be exactly the same.

- Comment on 4th dimension doesn't exist because even 1D or 2D themselves are not real. 1 week ago:
I mean, we call 3D as 3D because of 1D and 2D.
No, we call it 3d because there are three physical dimensions we move thru: front/back, side to side, up and.
We experience time linearly, so it’s not included. However time behaving like the three other dimensions isn’t precluded by a single law in physics. Literally everything works backwards just as fine as forwards, except consciousness. We need the cause/effect of linear time to be conscious.
Since they don’t exist in our reality
Think of it like fireworks. There can be multiple in your field of view at once.
Each firework is a universe, with its own unique laws of physics and number of physical dimensions. Multiple are still “real” at the same time, even if they’re incredibly unlikely to interact.
I mean, one of the leading theories on how a universe forms is there’s giant “planes” randomly bumping into each other. On that scale not only are multiple universes “real” we’re all completely inconsequential and incredibly fleeting. Not just as individuals, species or even planets. Entire universes don’t matter.
If you’re interested there’s a lot to learn about with all that stuff, but it honestly doesn’t really matter.
- Comment on 4th dimension doesn't exist because even 1D or 2D themselves are not real. 1 week ago:
1D and 2D are just mathematical abstractions.
Your confusion is you expect 1d and 2d universes to exist within ours, when the reality is they are separate universes.
It’s not like one is built on top of the other, they exist separately and incompatibly.
We currently only see models of it in our universe, just like anyone from a higher order universe would only be able to see models of ours.
It would take insane levels of technology for them to even briefly appear here, and the only reason that would be worth it is if we’re essentially a “warp” zone for them where moving a short distance here would translate to a huge distance back home, at faster to whatever their equivalent of a speed of light is.

, just go into the trades instead.” This view seems increasingly common, and it’s worrying. There’s a trend of glorifying blue-collar work while demeaning white-collar paths, as if pursuing higher education is somehow less valid. Young people should be encouraged to reach for higher education and intellectual growth, not steered toward careers that can wreck their bodies with manual labor.
It sounds like you’re upset that some people are saying you should go to school for something that will have available jobs…
By all means, if you want to be an unemployed coder, go into coding.
- Comment on Therapists are secretly using ChatGPT. Clients are triggered. 2 weeks ago:
They’re not “triggered” they’re pissed their doctor is offloading work to a chatbot and violating HIPAA because the chatbot retains everything you type into it for future training.

That’s a huge liability in multiple legal aspects
