The cruelty is the point, as with nearly all conservative policies

Starfield design lead says players are "disconnected" from how games are actually made: "Don't fool yourself into thinking you know why it is the way it is" (www.gamesradar.com)

apparently this is in response to a few threads on Reddit flaming Starfield—in general, it’s been rather interesting to see Bethesda take what i can only describe as a “try to debate Starfield to popularity” approach with the game’s skeptics in the past month or two. not entirely sure it’s a winning strategy,...

The thing is that Fallout: New Vegas used the same engine, and it proved that you can do a much more interesting and engaging story and quests with Creation Engine compared to what Bethesda is capable of. Sure, Creation is still a bit of a piece of shit when it comes to engines, but it can be used for creating complex storylines etc. and not just “go there and push a button” or “go there and kill a person”

any attempt to implement libertarianism will only bring mass amounts of misery and destroyed lives to anyone beneath the Parasite Class.

This is a feature, not a bug

Congress approves bill barring any president from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO (thehill.com)

Congress has approved legislation that would prevent any president from withdrawing the United States from NATO without approval from the Senate or an Act of Congress. The measure, spearheaded by Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), was included in the annual National Defense Authorization Act, which passed out of...

all alliances and other undue foreign influence on our legislature

Alliances are “undue foreign influence”?

show that Descartes was wrong, because they exist but they don’t think.

“A therefore B” doesn’t imply “B therefore A”

at 7 my bones were made of rubber

I was just thinking about this. I’m in my 40’s and it feels like I now break a rib if I sneeze hard, and I was wondering whether I’m actually “less durable” nowadays than I was when I was younger

so you can keep your phone away from your bed to improve sleep quality

Wait how does this work

Ohhh duh right, of course. I was thinking like notification sounds or even the signal itself somehow interfering with sleep quality

Moderate conservatives pretty much don’t exist anymore. I had a “fiscally conservative” and “moderate” acquaintance tell me that the world would be better if there were no sexual or gender minorities

He’s the sort of person who probably wouldn’t at least say out loud that they want to murder minorities, but I can tell you completely without any doubt that were some political party here to actually start doing it, he would be more than happy to see it happen – he’s convinced that white hetero men are the most repressed “minority” right now, and he’s literally said that the mere existence of sexual minorities is “polarizing” and “adversarial”.

This is pretty much how it is with all “moderate” conservatives. They might not outright say they want to murder minorities, but they would absolutely approve of others doing it.

Oh no no, you see he’s the default and everybody else is a minority

Conservative LGBT+ folks always just puzzle the fuck out of me. How stupid does someone have to be to support a cause that would have them eliminated if they got their way?

Gives some really big Association of German National Jews vibes; a pro-Hitler Jewish organization, the founder of which eventually got sent to a concentration camp

We see a need to adjust up to 1,500 personnel capacities

“Adjust personnel capacities” is a new one. Loving the corporate newspeak

We’re going to see more and more openly fascist policies in the EU as more member states elect fascist leaders. A previous example is the end-to-end encryption ban and mass content scannning ostensibly to combat “child porn”, and which many politicians have already suggested could be expanded to cover other cases as well.

I think your problem is that you took the Kremlin at its word.

This policy isn’t meant to do anything but further subjugate women, because right-wing authoritarians generally despise feeeeeeeeemales

Well it collects data from you, and one use case for your data is allowing a nice 💰 exit for the venture capital -backed company building it.

Other than that, not a whole lot that’s worth yet another “powered by open web standards” Electron piece of shit

Well, they elected a literal neofascist government so I guess anybody left of the Strasserites is a leftist now

It’s not like an average person would be unable to use their laptop and some media player, regardless of which OS they use; the fact that I use a weird-ass player doesn’t mean it’s the only option available on a laptop. It just seems pointless to get another gadget to do the same thing you can do on a gadget you own (assuming you have a laptop, of course.)

I may be an anomalous IT professional, but despite being a coder and generally a ginormous nerd, I’ve never really understood why people buy “smart” devices. This isn’t a criticism; I honestly just don’t understand why they’re popular. The amount of convenience they provide really doesn’t seem like it’s worth it at all, to me

It’s one of my favorite shitty movies. Figured there’s got to be like dozens of people (DOZENS!) who would get this meme on Lemmy
