  Much as I’m sure it’s a quality entertaining game, with games as popular as Minecraft… the only thing that can kill it is collapsing under its own weight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your TV Is Spying On You⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it adding to discussions or just posturing? Much like heavy’s comment was about their issues, Lost_My_Mind’s was also about their own situation. Why is the latter acceptable and the former not?

  My assumption is not because it promotes discussion, but because it’s something that’s more people emotionally agree with.

  Haven’t judges been knocking down a bunch of his proclamations? It’s not bulletproof, and it hasn’t been everything, but clearly some things are a bridge too far. At least for now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have caused unlawful government.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Guns are naught but tools. They have no moral nor political ambition. All they can do is provide an amplifier of force, no matter your ideology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a prison break if the prisoners have been unjustly detained? Who decides when it is a hostage rescuse situation?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Guns can provide opportunity, but (in spite of Mao claiming to be communist) it truly comes from the joining of people for common cause. A gun can help even the playing field, but it can easily be abused by those with ulterior motives.

  So as long as you completely disregard the majority of what each do… they’re basically the same thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems a little overboard for some kind of friendly conversation, especially when it had nothing to do with my general point. I was just stating that I wasn’t comfortable with marketing in general. The implication being from large corporations.

  As I’ve never taken an intro to business course, as I’m not interested in that aspect of hyper-capitalism that entails, I just go on the general context of the thread and general sentiment. Not a super-literal definition given in your community college.

  The hyperbole seems to be all yours, you’ve taken a statement I used to lead into the general topic of my comment and somehow built an entire personality out of to assign to me.

  I’m not comfortable with marketing. That is my personal opinion. I know lots of other people have other opinions. Some people are neutral, they don’t give a shit. Others seem to think of it as completely and utterly necessary in every degree of society. They’re allowed that, I have no power nor will to take that from them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m perfectly fine without those, yeah. Though you seem to be taking my meaning to a more extreme degree than was inferred.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, if you only take it at it’s most extreme and dont use a little bit of critical thinking. I specifically referenced companies in a thread about large corporations manipulating social issues for their own gain. I also gave wiggle room with the 99 out of a 100 reference.

  I think you also cast far too wide a net with your definitions of marketing, especially in the context of the conversation happening.

  I’d check your own sky to be absolutely sure it’s falling before throwing aspersions like that around. You may have a hysterical over-exaggeration of your own there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The people own it, at least for now. They just have to start showing up. The capital class certainly want us to think it’s a lost cause, because there’s still enough to stop them before it’s too late.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Universal basic income is a stopgap at best. A bandaid to keep capitalism running just a little bit longer before it all collapses in on itself. More robust social programs and government backed competition for basic needs like housing, food, and internet are a minimum if we want to make any kind of progress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not comfortable with companies using any kind of marketing tactics. Because 99 times out of a 100 it’s speedy and underhanded.

  But since they’re going to be doing it anyways, doing it with pride, or disenfranchised demographics, at least normalizes their humanity. Which, at the end of the day, is the point of pride month et al.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stellar Blade removes its region lock on Steam, now available in most of the world⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But a game doesn’t have to be on GOG to not have DRM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stellar Blade removes its region lock on Steam, now available in most of the world⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t DRM often get removed after a game wanes in popularity as it’s no longer worth the price to keep up the Denuvo license?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s Time To Go Back to Web 1.0⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You dont have to call yourself capitalist to be capitalist. The main difference between modern western capitalism and classic monarchy is the collective perception of divine right. Now that perception is completely personal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So in the mean time we should just abandon students to the people fucking up the system?

  One can’t just snap their fingers and make everything better, reality does not work that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So they should go into private education do only the rich or lucky can get a good education?

  Or do you think that teachers are the ones directing public education policy?

  Or are you saying that somehow not participating in a flawed system will somehow fix it?

  The entire purpose behind policies that hinder quality education is to drive skilled educators away. To choose not to participate is the best way to expedite the goals of those who benefit from poor quality education.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You will, they’re just overworked and undersupported.
