Why would yhere always need to be hunger? Its been proven over and over that this is a solvable problem and we have more than enough resources to solve it. They even put a monetary amount on it and it could easily be solved by a single billionaire. And then we know that once people arent starving or desperate for shelter and constantly concerned about their basic needs and survival, crime goes way down. And why does there need to be war? Because the oil companies or mercenaries and military industrial complex demands it? Let them die and we could easily have a much better society that takes care of all peoples basic needs. Its really not that complicated.

Could you elaborate on that? My account on another instance seems to see the posts fine and i rarely ever use that one. Why would this account be disallowed but not that one? Do you mean that i might have been blocked? I can still see communities from there if i search for them, they just dont seem to come up in the feed at all.

- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 5 weeks ago:
Its literally a false review, designed to counter the multiple negative real reviews that have been left recently. Its a false narrative designed to induce the reader into doubting the ture narrative of the other genuine reviews, or possibly even influence a potential reviewer by coloring their actual experience with the app. Definitely fits the definition you posted, even if its inconsistent with the example they gave.

Can play gamecube/wii games and most ps2. Ps3 you’re gonna have problems with even with a steamdeck sometimes.

You can buy handhelds for like $100 that have basically every console game up to and including ps2/ds preloaded. What else would you need?

- Comment on The fact that even 3D games are old now blows my mind on a regular basis. 1 month ago:
I wouldnt call it significantly more complex, the gameplay is basically the same except with an added jetpack mechanic. I recently played through sunshine for the first time since the gamecube came out on my steamdeck and it was fantastic.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
You can either run the installer on a windows partition/computer and copy over the entire installed game folder, or if you’d rather not involve windows at all then you can just add the installer as a non steam shortcut through steam or add it to lutris and run it, and then once its installed, change the shortcut to point at the newly installed exe instead of the installer. Super easy.
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 2 months ago:
What is? How does a checkmark help distinguish between two people that have the same name? The checkmark just shows that the person is who they say they are.
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 2 months ago:
People use usernames like they always have, and rely on reputation to distinguish themselves from the fakes? Senator ted ceuz makes an account called ‘senatortedcruz’ or if thats taken ‘therealsenatortedcruz’, and the mechanic makes one called ‘tedcruzcars’ or whatever. I dont see how your example is even relevant, because under a checkmark verification system both the mechanic ted cruz, and the senator ted cruz would be valid and deserving of a check mark, so there has to be some other way of distinguishing them anyway.

Imagine how fun it would be to rig up a luge sled with little rings to go over the railings. The hardest part would be designing brakes that would work effectively, but assumjng you could figure that out, (or i guess even if you couldnt) that first 6 seconds would be fun as hell.

I mean have you seen the slop the music industry is already putting out? Top 40 pop stars have been overproduced manufactured garbage for literal decades, what difference does it make if its one producer writing all the shitty samples and lyrics for 100 pop stars or if its AI. Real music will still exist and the true art will be confined to the fringes, as it already mostly is. Soulless music is soulless regardles of if its being made by a machine or a hack.

I mean if i was just chilling in the woods having a good time and a group of people came along and were like ‘theres a dude missing in the woods, we’re super worried about him, help us look’ id probably join them too. Seems like more of a failure by whoever called the search party. Of course that would never happen to me because I’d never tell anyone where im going and nobody would miss me.

- Comment on What are the odds of a person getting poisoned by food delivery driver? How would the odds change if the person is a public figure (such as Twitch Streamers)? 2 months ago:
When is the last time you heard of someone getting intentionally poisoned by a delivery driver? Id be surprised if its happened. Let alone happened in a targeted attack because the person is ‘famous’. Also most streamers are orders of magnitude away from being as famous as their fans seem to think they are. Normal people dont care about your favorite streamer.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 2 months ago:
They probably were upset, but not upset enough to do anything about it because they still wanted to play it. I personally would have refunded it right away, and lots of people probably also did that.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 2 months ago:
Which was a deception in the first place, because it clearly distinguishes between ‘1 player’ where it doesn’t say anything about needing a network connection, and 2-8 player where it says network and playstation plus required. It also says network features can be removed at any time, but nowhere does it say 1 player is a network feature. It specifically does not say that.
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 2 months ago:
The steam deck has way more potential, but CAN be just as simplr as only ever launching and downloading games through gaming mode. The parent downloads 5stean deck verified games and then all the kid has to do is use the joystick to switch between them. But then it also has the potential to be a learning experience or teaching tool as the kid grows. But the steamos gaming mode is dead simple to navigate and a child could definitely use it.
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 2 months ago:
Idiots who have never used a steam deck and are obviously scared by the word linux in this thread. You can easily use the steamdeck without ever leaving gaming mode and with absolutely no troubleshooting needed. Its as simple as browsing steam, pressing download, and pressing play. I would absolutely give it to a child with a few games preloaded, and they would be perfectly fine to use it. The UI is way more friendly than the switch one also. Everytime ive tried to play a game on switch with friends theres been some update that takes ages, the Ui is slow and clunky, and connecting joycons is an absolute pain. What troubleshooting do you think is necessary to run a game from steam lmao?
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 2 months ago:
Steam deck is definitely just as easy to use as the switch for playing and downloading basic games from the storefront. A 5 year old could absolutely use it easily with some games preloaded.
- Comment on Tariffs on Canadian goods having a 'devastating effect,' U.S. farmers say 2 months ago:
I mean lots of reasons, but primarily I’d say its because the concept of a general measurable intelligence is an illusion. People can be skilled at something, and can be quick to learn new skills, without any correlating ability for problem solving or reasoning. And because its generally an inherited position, most farmers may see learning their trade as more important than any other kind of formal or informal education. Why pay attention in school when you’re just goibg to work on the farm, or when you already are expected to work on the farm before and after school. Also what are you basing the idea that farmers are ‘very intelligent’ anyway? Even by most of the illusory mechanics we use to measure intelligence, why would farmers be any more intelligent than any other subset of the population? They just need to be capable. And capability in any skill is a poor measure of intelligence. There are plenty of doctors or researchers who are great at memorization or excel in a certain field but have no critical thinking skills.
