Yes, lets ignore real problems in favour of turning them into partisan shouting matches.
It’s worked so well until now.
- Comment on Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games” 4 days ago:
You’re not wrong. I still remember the day I picked up a newspaper and saw the headline “video games earn more than movies for the first time ever,” and I immediately knew where the industry was headed. In retrospect, I was 100% correct.

Weird people were forced out of the industry over the past decade or more.

Clearly they would rather be consumed by other things instead.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
Well we’re going to suffer until enough people do figure it out.
The sad part is that this is a very well known phenomena, yet people become too consumed by everything else to even care about learning of such warnings left behind by long dead civilizations.

Huh, that kind of gets the juices going, and I’m wondering how much we’ve been trying to make our problems fit the technologies we’ve built, rather than the other way around.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
Civilization exists because enough people know that we’re better off working together than against each other.

- Comment on Majority of Australians think China will be world’s most powerful country by 2035, poll finds 1 week ago:
Now Trump has poisoned the American brand for at least a generation.
Bitch please. Trump is far from the only reason people hate the USA. Especially after they used the Internet as a trojan horse to launch mass surveillance upon the entire globe.

- Comment on The creative thinking, storytelling and people skills you practice from playing DnD with friends will serve you far better in the apocalypse than a stocked bunker irrespective of how long you survive 1 week ago:
We must play with different crowds.
- Comment on One major issue with social media is that it operates on a first come, first served basis. This essentially rules out the possibility of well-considered, well-researched content being successful. 1 week ago:
That same problem still exists even when sorting by upvotes, because the earlier a comment is posted the more people will see and be able to vote on it, pushing it higher.
- Comment on How the US is turning into a mass techno-surveillance state 2 weeks ago:
Laws aren’t enough for something of this magnitude. The general population needs to grow to match the much greater challenges presented by modern technology, or we’re going to descend into another dark age until we do learn how to behave.
- Comment on Jacques Ellul's The Technological Society: How Efficiency Becomes the Master 3 weeks ago:
I’ve had arguments with people in simple little games, where the points barely matter at all, because some people get upset if others don’t play for pure efficiency.

Perhaps all the above could be summed up by “Capitalist Greed”…??? 🤡 🖕
No. It’s can’t. And you’re actively hurting your efforts by attaching high school edgelord bullshit to it.
Corruption has been a seriously problem everywhere, forever, and does not care one bit what words the ruling party uses to express themselves.

They’ve been known to literally lock people in their factories, and even put up suicide nets to prevent workers from killing themselves.

I feel a certain amount of schadenfreude every time I see someone finding out that propaganda doesn’t actually produce real convictions.

I hope you can understand how extenuating circumstances such as yours aren’t the norm.

An indoor cat wouldn’t stand a chance. The lack of experience is an absolutely enormous barrier to overcome, and indoor cats really struggle a lot if they ever get lost outside.
- Comment on Being called a loser for liking animation while the entire world is falling for AI slop is beyond. 5 weeks ago:
Most other people who you interact with aren’t actually seeing you individually. Instead they are confronting images they’ve previously developed regarding one or two characteristics they noticed. Don’t take what they say too personally.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 5 weeks ago:
Dude. Power seekers have been doing this shit since ancient times, and you’re getting your panties in a twist about people who fight back against them?

- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 5 weeks ago:
Why do we keep paying people like this to enshittify everything?
Because if you refuse to destroy yourself, your family, and the rest of the world, they’ll import 3rd worlders who will do it because they’re being threatened.
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 5 weeks ago:
It’s quite something how they’re trying to force the Internet to work as an artificial version of things we already have, instead of using it for the unique purposes which it can actually fulfill.

Yea man. How dare they celebrate their 205th anniversary!
- Comment on Historians alarmed as Trump seeks to rewrite US story for 250th anniversary 1 month ago:
Under an executive order issued in January, the president has started to churn out his own approved version of US history that professional historians fear will resort to the tried and tested authoritarian playbook of airbrushing out inconvenient and inglorious chapters that do not align with his vision of American greatness.
The executive order is literally just planning for celebrating the 250th anniversary, and this is the whole of the reasoning behind the alarmist headline. But it’s all okay, since getting people to hate Trump more is the goal, so if you have to bend the truth a bit over your knee to achieve that, who can blame you right?
“Journalism”
