macabrett,

The proper term is social democratic. Socialism has a simple and specific definition. Those Nordic countries have changed nothing about who owns the means of production and therefore have no relation to socialism.

The only political power you have within America’s political system electoralism is a game of chicken wherein you withhold your vote unless change occurs. If you’re mad at people saying they won’t vote for Biden, I urge you to direct your energy at Biden and the DNC.

There are other avenues to change, but they get your head bashed in by cops, so I’m confident the people tut-tutting about voting will never get involved at that level. Must feel great to ignore the devastating impact of American foreign policy just because it doesn’t happen near you!

I think democracy’s already dead

Only Cable News Viewers Think Israel isn't Committing a Genocide, Survey Finds (theintercept.com)

Americans who get their news primarily from cable are the only people who believe that Israel is not committing a genocide in Gaza, according to a new survey that examined the relationship between attitudes toward the war and news consumption habits....

macabrett,

I don’t think you understand just how aligned all of the networks are on this issue.

you can say “you’re welcome”, its no problem

you can also say “no problem”

hope this helps, you’re welcome

macabrett,

Kind of a moot point these days, but I always wished OGG pushed MP3s out of the way. It generally has better audio quality, lower file size, and is an open source format. MP3s had their patent die (I think) and file storage has become less of an issue, but damnit OGG was perfect for the 00s. My plex server is still full of OGGs (I can’t hear the difference with uncompressed, but my hearing is bad).

macabrett,

As a programmer, I’d just tell them “I configure contraptions to perform tasks for people”

macabrett,

Weird, I was sold almost the exact same line in 2020.

macabrett,

Pointless? Yeah, it’s a luxury.

Inconvenient? I’m not sure I understand that part. You just queue something up as you’re getting ready to shower.

Showering long enough to benefit from it? I mean, yeah? For the 10 or so minutes I’m in the shower, I hear some music and that’s nice.

I think you might be getting some really bad bluetooth speakers if they sound so bad and are so hard to operate that you find the process frustrating.

macabrett,

Today, celebrate that you survived Henry Kissinger’s century of terror.

Then tomorrow continue to weep that the people who still have power loved him and agreed with him.

macabrett,

They’re both good instances. People have been heavily propagandized to hate communists. You could make the kindest most welcoming space on the internet and if you put the label “communist” on it, it will be hated.

macabrett,

That’s not true. You’re thinking of social programs. Socialism is when workers own the means of production.

If this was socialism, America would have already done a military coup in Denver.

macabrett,

Be fair to Fallout 4 mods, there’s probably several with more interesting writing than Starfield.

macabrett,

Morrowind erasure.

macabrett,

Yeah, it’s pretty underhwelming. There’s a lot of people who claim Starfield is a “great Bethesda game” but “people hyped it up too much.” In my opinion, it’s a terrible Bethesda game. The best thing those games do right is you can set off in a direction and along the way, find a world full of little things. Landmarks, unique little stories, side quests, and even just interesting items to grab. Starfield dropped all of this in favor of incredibly generic proc gen planets that have the same couple of outposts you’ll see on every planet. Like THE SAME. The interiors are THE SAME. Every safe, dead body, message log is THE SAME.

It lacks the one thing that brought me back to Bethesda games despite all their flaws.
