I wholeheartedly agree. It does sound dangerously similar. Ultimately, the main difference would be that I don’t want to hurt people(also to be frank it’s straight up impossible and imaginary to change people like this. lol). I just want them to be compassionate. I think ultimately, they need empathy. Maybe if i phrased it that way, it would sound less messed up. But yeah, they need to have empathy and a guilty conscience. If we could make everyone have that, it would be a much better place to live.

Governments don’t seem to want to do enough about them. They’re willing to let millions of people die because of billionaires. It just seems absurdly cruel and we just have to kind of sit and watch or get trampled on too.

They seem to not understand what made the good games good, and then when a game does do well, they try to milk it. The yearly releases are likely too much as well.

Black ops 3 was cool -> ruined with predatory micro transactions. anyone remember how they would pair you with people who had the items you were viewing in the loot box menu in an attempt to get you to purchase? And then the odds were stupidly low to actually get the items.

The modern warfare reboot was cool. But again they slowly ruined it entry after entry.

Black ops was kinda neat last year. Then they tried to milk it again.

Idk I’m kinda rambling here but if you’ve played most of the titles I think it makes sense as to why people aren’t always getting every one at this point

I wish we could find out what part of these ceo’s brains are physically broken and fix it by force. There’s the whole Grey area of like is this ethical but if we could determine this defect without any error I think it would be a breakthrough similar to curing cancer.

So then it sounds like somebody just needs to provide a font for applications that is a low priced one time payment and they would do pretty well. I wonder how difficult it is

I’ve heard in recent years they’re starting to decline and become more like Walmart in terms of employee treatment. They’re removing employee agency and imposing more strict rules. But YMMV depending on the location as I think the changes are rolling out on a per store basis.

The saddest part about this is that he hurt random people and not the ones at the top making the calls

I don’t have super helpful advice. I just wanted to mention I’m in a very similar situation. Graduated in 2018 got a diploma in web dev, started 2019, ended up WFH during the pandemic but I really want a way out of my current job as they’re underpaying me.

I wish you the best of luck. I know it’s stressful and scary. I try to remind myself that things have to work out because we keep trying. We have to put our best foot forward and at that point we have done everything we can. I try to remind myself that there’s no point in worrying because we have no clue what could happen.

A coworker of mine was laid off twice in recent years but then ended up scoring a job where she barely has to work, is basically given free will to do whatever she wants as long as the work done. She actually complains about being bored during the day and I told her she should be having fun! Her works done and her job doesn’t care what she does so she should be enjoying her life.

Long story short things sometimes work out far better than we could expect or forsee.

Odd move. You already can’t trust ai results. mixing in ads is going to make it even worse. It’s going to try to manipulate people

The one thing I’ll say is the Germans seem to have done far better than the Americans at stopping nazis. Shit they’ve done better than Canada, too. Northern America kinda shrugged and went, “It’s fine probably”

Hmm so I would say go with the switch 2 mainly because you mentioned money isn’t an issue. It’s going to be purely peace of mind as you’re not going to need to do any major troubleshooting later.

Alternatively just go with the steam deck and let her use it normally and (I assume as I’ve never owned a steam deck) it should just be plug and play the same as a switch.

Coming from experience, if it was me and my mom in the same situation, I would go with the switch 2 because I know there would be less stress involved overall. I normally do the tech help requests for my parents’ pc’s and phones, and it always surprises me how they can sometimes manage to break things or get themselves into a pickle.

I wish we could go back to smaller vehicles again. I really dislike not being able to see around the monster trucks on the road. Oh also being blinded at night through my rear view mirror isn’t very fun.

I haven’t heard of this, I really wana see it now though lol

And the money trickles up to those highest on the pyramid. Classic

I didn’t know this, thanks for sharing!

If you’re triggered easily, I’m not sure if the game is a good fit for you as it does delve into some deeper, more serious topics.

The only other thing I could think of to try and resolve this issue would be to purposely spoil the plot of the game for yourself by reading summaries in advance and then make the judgement call on whether or not you believe you can handle the subject matter?

If we can push towards green electricity generation, I would be up for an electric car. Where I live our electricity isn’t green so it feels kind of…counter intuitive in a sense.

My main gripe with any new vehicle is touch screens. If there’s a touch screen in the thing ima flip a table. Give me physical buttons please. Oh I guess my secondary gripe is trying to make cars compact in ways that make it impossible difficult to work on yourself.

I want smaller cars, but I also want something that people can work on easily.

Honestly at this point I assume every damn company has this take unless otherwise stated/shown through their actions.

Maybe I’m bitter,but I personally feel like all we are to the rich and powerful is a resource to be extracted/ used

I was reminded today that they got rid of USAID which has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. I was going to say we need another Luigi, but i think you need a whole army at this point.

Why would that hurt the economy? If you want people to spend money, make things affordable and useful. They make things shittier and more expensive and then wonder why people aren’t buying

I’m going to be a pest and argue semantics.

For point number 2. Musk has never been an American, and i would argue that he has no true country as he only cares about himself. From what I understand, he created his business illegally after losing his visa status in the US for some time.
