It is definitely leading us directly to a type of feudalism though. Where power is held by billionaires and corporations instead of local warlords.

Fuck yeah, let's do it. We are a country of immigrants, it's time us white folks take a backseat

It's a tradition as old as fonts itself.

Look at the fucking Nazis. Say what you will, those motherfuckers had style. It's too bad they completely ruined the swastika for the rest of time because it's kind of dope looking when you strip away any context. And those uniforms, goddamn.

These fucking morons think $2 million is even a drop in the bucket of a state's budget...

Our planet is literally dying, and humankind is going to be decimated (at least) directly due to the actions of corporations.

But misrepresenting its utility as a modern living room PC doesn't help anyone and is just going to leave people disappointed.

Did I do this?

Hours later she was still at it, hairs scattered, baffled looking... saying how could someone live with so many choices lol.

Oh man I relate to this so hard hahaha...

Do everything you can to try to preserve those settings, because you will need to do a clean install at some point (well maybe not, I'm sure it depends on your distro), and you're gonna lose all of it.

You could just send it to me instead of letting it fall... Just a thought.

It's almost as if they're two completely different markets

Yup. As someone who hasn't had a dedicated gaming PC in about a decade, I've been really happy with the PS5 + Steam Deck combo (well, plus Switch, but that thing collects dust until Nintendo releases a Mario platformer).

I recently got a laptop that's not made for gaming specifically, but can handle them pretty well (with Proton), and that has scratched any itch I've had for PC games that don't lend themselves to Deck or console (your RTS games and such).

At risk of giving away the game... I think people would be very surprised to see how cheap physical copies of PS4 and PS5 games go for when you catch them on sale.

Wow. You make an excellent point.

It's honestly a real shame. STEM careers are obviously extremely important, but we are doing students a major disservice by limiting the scope of their education so much. Maybe these degrees should be five year programs...

So instead of possibly doing something to directly help Palestinians that might be misunderstood after his death, he sets himself on fire? Because optics? No way anyone could ever misunderstand that 🙄

It accomplishes nothing at all. Makes no sense to do it over actual direct action if you plan to die anyway.

Do you think there is only one election in November?

Also, Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground is a very simple descending chord progression that basically just steps down according to the minor scale (if I recall correctly. Don't have a guitar in front of me and haven't played the song in years).

Stuff like that is much easier to figure out by ear than more intricate melodies and chord progressions.

That shit would be hilarious if there weren't 50 million+ people like this that vote.

Or at the very least wanted to and got rebuffed.

And as we all know, middle management does so much work and therefore deserve that right over everyone else.

(sorry I vomited in my mouth a little bit)

Well, turns out I do have PTSD from a decade of working retail and food service. So thanks for that lol

Corporations make that decision. And our country allows (if not encourages) it.

Yes, seriously. Same goes with drinking water behind the counter.
