Can’t forget to mention that those Walmart employees usually turn around and use those food stamps and government assistance at Walmart due to whatever meager employee discount they get.

So now Walmart not only gets to pay their workers far below a living wage, they also get reimbursed by the government for all those food stamps their own employees spend at their stores. These corporations are the biggest “welfare queens” the world has ever seen.

Reminiscent of owing one’s soul to the company store, eh?

prole,

It’s become clear that the show was almost entirely Larry David. Seinfeld was just lucky enough to be his buddy at the time and ride along.

prole,

They probably spent a couple hundred bucks on tickets, so sunk cost maybe

prole, (edited )

Yeah if only they had their own secular, democratically elected leaders. And maybe those leaders could even decide to nationalize their oil.

What could possibly go wrong for them?

prole,

I bet watching them in English with Portuguese subtitles would prob be a great way for a kid to learn English on the sly

prole,

Depending on her age of course… But you can find SRT (subtitle) files for literally almost everything, often in dozens of languages. They’re super tiny too since it’s basically just a txt file

prole,

Rotten Tomatoes will usually say where it’s streaming. Or a quick Google search of “(TV show) where streaming” will get you there. At least it used to, Google is shit these days so who knows.

prole,

It seems very common among millennials and Gen Z.

prole,

US District Judge Mark T. Pittman, an appointee of former President Donald Trump

This is where we share reaping what we sowed with the long term secondary and tertiary damage from electing Donald Trump (and by extension, giving the Federalist Society carte blanche to re-form the judiciary in their hateful, spiteful image). They will continue to happen for decades to come (and will often be blamed on the liberals/progressive currently in power because they’ll be the only ones trying to do anything to fix it).

The future’s looking bright, guys

prole,

Careful, they might try to steal your home while they’re there.

prole,

Israeli “settlers” have been stealing land from Palestinian families that have lived there for generations. For decades.

I agree that Jewish people as a whole aren’t guilty, but the type that go into other people’s homes, on other people’s land in other people’s countries are the same type that carry AR-15s when marching into a village in the West Bank to say, “this is mine now.” Fuck those people.

It’s ok to call the Proud Boys shit without damning the entire US population.

prole,

Only about ~30% actually voted for Hitler if memory serves.

Not that it makes it ok, but…

prole,

Try living under violent, oppressive, ethno-nationalist, colonialist, apartheid for 80+ years and see what options you and your family might be willing to consider.

Also add in the direct monetary support from Likud and Netanyahu to prop them up as the only viable option.

prole,

Yeah the god old the old testament is brutal, and honestly a real piece of shit.

Why would I want to worship a god who openly admits to being controlled by such petty human emotions as jealousy? Fuck that, I’ve been in shitty relationships before.

prole,

It also teaches you how to treat your slaves.

Could have very easily had said, “slavery is evil, stop doing it,” but nope.

Makes you wonder how many fewer people would be Christian nowadays if it was outspokenly anti -slavery. Interesting thought.

prole,

I initially made the same mistake… “Surely it was too lovey-dovey to not be Jesus. No way it’s that racist, jealous, petty Yahweh…”

But nope, Leviticus

prole,

Where did I judge these people by their nation state? I’m judging them based on their actions.

This behavior is very reminiscent of the behavior of Israeli “settlers” in the West Bank, and I was pointing out that comparison.

I judge the nation of Israel, which is democratic with mandatory conscription (i.e. brainwashing every Israeli adult into believing Palestinians are literally subhuman) for creating these people. But in a democratic system, the people aren’t entirely blameless.

And no it’s not the same as Hitler, he was (barely) elected and then seized power and did away with the democracy, so it’s not like the German people could have just voted him out (not that they would have).

We (humans) have already settled this anyway. Read The Banality of Evil to understand why the German people are absolutely not blameless, and it’s perfectly acceptable to criticize them as individuals.

Meh, this is just the free market in action. Now after decades of “collateral damage,” the market can correct itself. People will stop using the offending brand(s) because everyone needs to be an expert on literally everything or else they too can become collateral damage while the market “corrects.” It’s their own fault really.

And in this case, customers will stop using companies and services that use RoundUp, because again, they need to know everything including what chemicals that the contractor their town hired uses in the public park. And then lobby them to switch to a (likely more expensive) alternative.

Come on, that’s just capitalism, guys smh

Tumbleweed update killed my gaming

Has anyone else had this problem? I updated my openSuse Tumbleweed today (restart required), and now none of my games work. Most are through Steam, so at first I thought it was that. But I have Cyberpunk through GOG launched with Heroic. And even more, Alien Arena has the same problem, so it’s not even a proton issue (I did...

prole,

Any reason to use it over Timeshift? Or same basic concept?

prole,

Why would it being a maintenance problem make it any better at all?

“Don’t worry guys, the planes aren’t inherently defective, we’re just not maintaining them correctly!”

Super comforting.

prole,

Meanwhile, a potential game of the year, Animal Well, was made by one dude and put out by a publishing company started by a goofy YouTuber.

prole,

They’re fascists, so unironically yes.

prole,

but little actual war experience.

Do you think this is the first time they’ve gone to war against Palestine? You might have some history to catch up on.

I'm finally getting the hang of Sekiro

I’ve been playing this game off and on, starting over since it came out. I was a hardcore Bloodborne player, but also played a lot of elden ring and ds3. Sekiro never clicked, I thought it was slick and the action felt incredible but I just couldn’t get past the beginning. Finally I’ve broken through and am having a blast,...

prole,

but for a boss, it’s faster to just learn the fight than spend time farming tokens to try to grind it out with prosthetics.

Eh not always… Not going to spoil anything but there are bosses that were designed for specific tools to be helpful. As in there are unique animations and effects when you use them on them.

I say let them play like they want to play.

prole,

For sure. The game can be beat without prosthetics at all if that’s your bag. I personally found it fun to mix it up with some of the mini boss fights and some of the harder “regular fights”. I don’t think it takes anything away from the satisfaction, because they really aren’t that effective even when you max them out.
