It’s nice to have a place that feels like early Reddit, but I can’t help but wonder if a large percentage of the people who got banned and came here were banned for valid non-political reasons.
Maybe I was getting too used to Redditors telling me I’m absolutely right.

This is an old screenshot from the George Floyd murder. I just got their potato tacos last week too.

IIRC Thiel was outed against his will. He might be bi, or like tomboys too.

I’m not boycotting them because they’re shitty. I’m boycotting in solidarity with their union.

Why not?
- Comment on 4 days ago:
A company with a union that has been tested is better than one with no union. I have no faith that other companies would be better unless forced.

This is literally the only way I’ll ever buy another Rockstar game.

I’m sure you and your partner can think of a more fun form of exercise. 😉

To be 100% honest, I like Bitcoin and LLMs too. Could use some pigouvian taxes though.

Stories like Ftumch’s reply, and the fact that it’s owned by Meta 🤮 have deterred me from wanting to try that one.

He’s protesting the full body scans by opting out, and the pat down is the lesser evil.

Then try fucking a variety of people

I’ve been an Xbox user for the longest time and have been dreading them losing the latest console war. I’ve never been a huge Nintendo fan, and fuck Sony. This sounds like it’ll be my next big gaming platform.

It feels like just yesterday that VR was the big hype tech.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 5 days ago:
I’ve wanted to get into VR for the longest time but they all seemed like extremely walled gardens. This sounds awesome to me.

- Comment on 'I think we're in the fight of our lives': Fired Rockstar employees and IWGB are confident the GTA 6 developer will be held accountable for its alleged union busting 6 days ago:
I’ll at least hold them accountable, by being that jerk on the internet who reminds people of union busting every time someone mentions Rockstar or one of their games.
Why yes I am still boycotting Sony over that time they booby trapped their CDs. Businesses might not go under when they do amazingly evil stuff, but they’re dead to me.

It’s a good way to show us that they’re hardened criminals.
- Comment on I've heard New Yorkers are devastated 6 days ago:
Living in LA, I sometimes wonder who exactly is voting for all these right wing politicians. Everybody I actually meet in real life ranges from far left to moderate. Are they all hiding in the hills?
If you saw me in person you’d think I look like a cop. In other states, other white men casually say all sorts of fucked up stuff to me, assuming I’m on their side. None of that here.

- Comment on Wikipedia urges AI companies to use its paid API, and stop scraping 1 week ago:
Can confirm, I’ve been a Wikipedia zealot the entire time and people really do seem to have accepted it. If you ignore what else makes them cheer, it’s a huge victory.

Since when do they pass the Turing test? They’re infuriatingly bad.

Shall we keep memes on Beehaw or .ml?

The simpler explanation seems to be that the guard was eating the fish, and blamed the octopus when people noticed.

It’s extremely difficult for me to pay $80 for a game already!
- Comment on Rockstar Games Employee Calls Out Studio For Spreading “Disinformation and Lies”, Union Busting 1 week ago:
I’m not sure I could even enjoy it anymore - the satire on the radio will hit different after this. And my non-gamer friends would just see a scab.
- Comment on Rockstar Games Employee Calls Out Studio For Spreading “Disinformation and Lies”, Union Busting 1 week ago:
Same thing as return to office. It’s not even about the money, it’s about power and control.

Well then they should post more because it doesn’t look like prices are dropping.
