argv_minus_one,

Good. China has enough slaves. It doesn’t need more.

Why would people ever choose to use chess.c*m over Lichess

Imagine for a moment that you could access any book in the world and read it on your device, and this was a service offered by the public library. The why would you give your time and money to Jeffrey Bezos and use audible for the exact same service? Is this even a choice? Can someone explain to me why anyone would use chess.c*m...

argv_minus_one,

For some reason, the position of that asterisk made me think you’re talking about a chess-themed porn site.

argv_minus_one,

If you can’t afford Starfield, how can you afford a computer capable of running it?

argv_minus_one,

That’s not how you spell “imprison the C-suite of”. Last time I read the Constitution, giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies was treason.

argv_minus_one,

Who needs a wireless mouse when you’re sitting right in front of the computer it’s plugged into?

argv_minus_one,

With a console controller? Being barely able to aim isn’t my idea of easy. Mouse and keyboard, please.

argv_minus_one,

You might pay for a subscription-based future, but I will stay on PC where this sort of nonsense is not tolerated.

For the Love of Everything, Please Keep 3-6 Months Worth of Money for an Emergency Fund (If You Can)

I left my job about two months ago, and I applied for unemployment immediately. I got a new job today, but I STILL haven’t gotten my unemployment decision. Additionally, my food stamp application was delayed due to personal circumstances. In short, had I not had money saved for an emergency, I would have been mega-screwed....

argv_minus_one,

most people hate the poor, and especially hate the unhoused and just want them to disappear.

Yeah, that’s true. Everyone seems to hate the homeless. And they’ll probably continue to hate the homeless even as millions of working middle-class people lose their homes as a result of the housing and job crisis. Hell, the newly homeless will probably hate themselves, too.

But I don’t understand why. These homeless people didn’t choose to jack up their rent and slash their wages; their landlords and employers did. They’re victims, not perpetrators. Why would people hate them? Is everybody’s brain malfunctioning from microplastic poisoning or something?

the recently unhoused quickly learn to follow suit if they want to stay alive and have any hope of improving their lives

So, they remain docile because they cling to a false hope? As far as I can tell, once you’re homeless, you’re going to stay that way for the rest of your life, no matter what you do, precisely because everyone hates you for being homeless.

argv_minus_one,

That’s not a union. That’s an auxiliary HR department.

argv_minus_one,

Why would you want to play a Bethesda game 5 days early? The best time is several months after release, when the community has had time to fix the bugs.

Who the hell are they expecting is going to play this game? Only trust fund kids?

argv_minus_one,

Steam system requirements say RX5700 minimum. Recommended is RX6800XT, which was ludicrously expensive last I checked. Also I need a much newer CPU.

In this economy, that’s gonna be a no from me.

argv_minus_one,

Now imagine how fast they’d be without Denuvo.

argv_minus_one,

Not sure where that leaves the young people today

On the street.

argv_minus_one,

Since when could young people afford to buy a house?

There’s also that desktop web browsers generally request that their title bar not be shown.

Those have the excuse that they’re basically several windows in one, and the tabs are the title bar-equivalents. Very few apps have that excuse, though.

Side note: KDE’s tabbed windows feature was pretty neat. Too bad it’s gone.
