It’s an environment issue for them, their belief system and past experiences shape their decisions. The DNC had opportunities for real change and did not take them, and that feeds into the establishment/ “drain the swamp” rhetoric. Calling people stupid isn’t going to help anything, they are heavily misinformed and tuned out living in a busy world. I don’t give them a full pass here, but if we’re going to change anything we need to figure out how to communicate with this segment and recognize their grievances.

A large chunk of the population gets their info from Fox News and News Max etc. Many of my extended family unfortunately. They think that is reliable information and can’t be convinced otherwise. When I try to bring up facts they give me this look like I’m the crazy one spreading the lies. It’s a really sad state of affairs, they are genuinely good people otherwise. I think there are too many assumptions that people just wanted what we’re about to get.

Exactly why I heavily limit the amount and specifics of what my kids watch on it. Sadly I know too many kids that have been literally raised on YouTube, and they already act weird af.

Not all men are evil… There are many of us out there fighting for women’s rights. Sorry that so many feel they need to resort to this, I guess I get it though.

Even that isn’t enough unless you have a lot of money laying around and some kind of support network in whatever country you plan to escape to.

The Gummy Bear song. I have no proof, but I think it has some kind of brain dissolving frequency.

HEY! LOOK OVER THERE! poof

Some do, they just charge you like $300 for that version now.

They are trying to break through the misinformation being fed to Republicans. And trying to ensure anyone on the fence otherwise doesn’t have any excuses.

Forced ad watching.

Smile! You’re on Gameboy camera! 🎶

First thought I had when I read this was “I don’t remember being asked this question”. This feels like when a game or small business schmoozes a tabloid to give them a “best of” award. They are building echo chambers around their business to justify profitable decisions.

I just happened to pick up Okami for my PS2 last week, and I’ve been so captivated by the game and the amazing art style. Love this rendition of it!

Senior dev material right here.

I wish that were the case out west.

Neither of those are the actual definition of the word. I’ve always interpreted it to acknowledge a person’s abilities/capabilities. The big conflict of respect at my workplace seems to be older people who have worked there for 17 years not being respectful of people writing there for 8 years. They think they are the authority figure and deserve that kind of respect (as mentioned here) and treat people who have been there several years like they don’t deserve the respect to make any decisions. Which is nonsense, and they are just making more work for everyone by disrupting workflow in order to prove some level of superiority.

Unfortunately, the way many companies are set up these days, they require employees to use multiple different web applications to do their job. And if you’re a developer, you need many different tabs for testing scenarios.

A Steamlink app was added to the Meta store recently. It supposedly allows playing streamed desktop VR. I have been meaning to try it with Steam on my Linux desktop, so I can’t really vouch for it yet, it could just not work. And who knows if Proton works for any specific VR games.

After making coffee at home and figuring out exactly the way I like it to be made, I hardly ever consider rolling the dice on one if I can help it. Getting it while out and about is only for when I have no other choice (not being home for a long time). The cost savings are just gravy.

Just keep pushing for a better society that doesn’t need to lean on religion for comfort, and that dream may come true. But not forcing people to abandon things. That just makes resentment.
