- Comment on China's unemployed young adults who are pretending to have jobs 14 hours ago:
Seems like the job market is a sinkhole everywhere in the world.
I feel for them, but it’s nice to have a communal space to freelance and apply for jobs instead of slogging through it endlessly in isolation.
Would be a nice idea in the US but it would get enshittified and price hiked before I finish typing this sentence.
- Comment on AI Is a Total Grift 1 day ago:
When I think of a scam, I think a one-off, obviously amateur attempt. An email with awful grammar saying the government will fine me a bajillion dollars if I don’t download a file is a scam. A scam will also leave you alone.
A grift is done by career slimeballs. Used car salesmen, big C-suites and corrupt politicians are grifters. It’s more offensive and more aggressive. You can’t escape a grift.
- Comment on How can it be crystal clear your president is a child rapist and every one just carries on? Scary stuff friends. 1 day ago:
Thank you.
Nobody truly interested/invested in “subversive activity” (heavy on the quotes there) is going to go blabbing about it on the frickin clearnet.
Just because you don’t see things posted online doesn’t mean they’re not happening.
Life exists outside the internet and even in Star Wars the rebellion didn’t go screaming and drawing attention to what they’re doing. Neither did the Empire.
Any real change, in any meaningful direction happens in meatspace. And most people who aren’t in the status quo party(ies) are going to keep low in public when not in huge numbers. Hard to do anything impactful when you’re dead or disappeared.

Bold of you to assume the govt won’t just use the same VPNs they’ll ban the proles from having.

Deus Ex (first one)
Cult of the Lamb

Night in the Woods soundtrack got me through recovery after having my appendix out. 10/10

The weird part is apparently Canada got hit by this too.
I’d be curious what those “market conditions” are that screw over our northern neighbors too 🤔

Being a billionaire is not an immutable trait ¯\(ツ)/¯

Stevia, sucralose, aspartame et al say hello
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 2 weeks ago:
Kinda reminds me of when Lizardbyte had a falling out with the Arch base re:Sunshine.
It sucks but I can understand considering how terminally online and entitled a lot of users are, plus there’s an AppImage for this still so hopefully that covers the gap.
- Comment on agony 2 weeks ago:
Oh hey it’s my film history classmates.
Except they mostly wore white adidas instead of the beige clogs. Genuinely cute look on a lot of people to be honest though lol
- Comment on Cheat Codes Activated 2 weeks ago:
That’s how I made about half of my friends, probably wait for a dating scenario though.
Probably start with taking turns infodumping about your favorite topics if you’re on a date with someone similar.
- Comment on It's not just kind, it's kinder 2 weeks ago:
I mean, Grimm’s Fairy Tales are similar levels of absurd violence lol
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 2 weeks ago:
It’s going to come down to anything with even a whisper of LGBTQ+/minority/disability/etc representation, just like with books.
They start with the “egregious” content (not that it’s necessarily right to remove that either), then narrow it down until it shapes up into hegemonic conformity and systemic oppression via media (there’s a term for it, kind of like stochastic violence but not quite that I can’t remember atm).

And baa baa black sheep
- Comment on What's a video game that can run on any sort of device?(besides doom and pong) 3 weeks ago:
Snake would also fall under that category
- Comment on Anyone have one of these? 3 weeks ago:
If it connects the way I think it does, it would allow for the user to hold the “phone” part to their ear and dial on the touchpad like a traditional landline phone while being able to use wireless technology.
The rest of the tablet apps are what make it not ideal, since its main use case seems to be the phone itself.
TL;DR: use like regular phone, other apps useless.
- Comment on Anyone have one of these? 3 weeks ago:
This seems targeted towards elderly people and while the implementation isn’t ideal the concept itself isn’t too bad.
- Comment on Nintendo touts high employee retention rate after loss of Microsoft jobs rocks Xbox Game Studios 3 weeks ago:
TBF, even if they’re a shit company to their consumers it’s kind of funny for them to point out they still make boatloads of money while keeping employees since it makes others look bad.
“Efficiency” is smoke-blowing bull for the sake of putting a few more pennies in shareholder stocks. Stable profits are far more sustainable and better for the real economy (where real people spend real money) than infinite growth since having a regular paycheck allows people to continue buying things.

FFA kids are something else entirely

I’m going to do my sanity a favor and not read those. My imagination can fill in the outline and it already makes me sick.
Let’s just say I wouldn’t cry if these scum fell throat-first onto a harpoon coated in tarantula venom.

- Comment on 25% of young Americans aged 18 to 24 eat every meal alone—'a virtual doubling of what it was two decades ago,' expert says 4 weeks ago:
Probably related to education and being broke, yeh?
Working a shit job and having to tolerate roommates doesn’t exactly equate to having time, money, or ability to eat regular meals with friends and family.
- Comment on Eating would be weird if we didn't enjoy it. 4 weeks ago:
Evolution is about making babies before you die, and those babies grow up and make babies before they die.
“Purpose” is largely irrelevant, unfortunately.

“Drinks are only allowed in [insert room here] in screw-cap bottles, and caps must be used to close said bottles when not being actively drank from to prevent spills”
Would be pretty straightforward I think
