Is that guys name actually Pony Ma?

Now, my mandarin is very bad, but Ma means horse, among other things. So is this guys name horse small horse?

Edit: his Chinese name is 马化腾. Mǎ Huàténg. So his family name is indeed horse, but Pony isn’t his name, just a nickname.

China is a communist country, they purposefully repressed religion for quite some time, though that has eased up a lot these days. If that was why, it would have happened decades ago when people stopped being religious.

Except they don’t support USB OR Bluetooth audio.

Action movie bad guys are always the topical enemy of the state. Even satirical takes on the genre end up recuperated and reinforce the very tropes they were criticizing(Robocop is my favorite example).

Agreed, there’s limited resources, that’s exactly why we can’t afford to waste any more on another CEO mega yacht or private plane. We’re capable of a post-scarcity society with just the setup we have today, were we to distribute resources on need rather than greed.

One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

You realize westerners regularly go to Gaza and don’t end up thrown off buildings, right?

When I played counter strike I expected no such thing. If I wanted skins, I could go get them for free on csbanana. I expected nothing more than a game and a dedicated server client. The rest was provided by the community.

You might look into repairing the joystick you have. I recently had a similar issue with my 360 controller after it sitting in storage for many years and a good contact cleaning got it working again.

If that doesn’t work, depending on your level of confidence, you could measure the pin pitch and note termination style and see if you can find a replacement joystick module to solder in somewhere. Maybe it used the same footprint as another controller, and you can drop it in and have it work.

Either way, good luck. I hope you succeed!

It’s an objectively fascist belief to hold, there’s no need to tie it to the rest of Musks bullshit, because it’s disgusting enough on its own.

Do you think titles like that are a result of a severely myopic mind, unable to even comprehend why a corporation would willingly do something that their users dislike, or just clickbait?

All your enemies are judeo-bolsheviks. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be your enemies, right?

I got it very late in its lifespan, just a few years ago, and I feel that a lot. I remember the proprietary memory cards being the major issue I had that prevented me from buying one originally, and they’re even more of an issue now that they’re out of production and the ones available are aging.

Thankfully, the homebrew scene provided workarounds to use microSD, but you lose the ability to play cartridges easily, so I haven’t done so myself.

It’s really a great console though. Basically a pocket PS2.5 I’d say. Sometimes closer to a pocket PS3. Plus the ability to play cross platform PS3 games, certain PS2 remasters, and Sonys (then) whole offering of PS1 ports really opens up the library on top of the smattering of quality Native Vita titles it had.

That’s the Steam Deck. It’s actually running the recently released PC port.

The spin off games are fun and popular with the kids around my 8 year old brother, which is who they’re intended for.

It’s irrelevant whether or not they were hamas. They could sit outside the doors and arrest them when they leave, but going into a hospital to kill people is literally the behavior of nazis.

He’s on the wrong side. The Empire is the United States as a whole. Specifically, the US empire during Vietnam era.

It’s hard to say, my old cons has been drifting for so long I’d just resorted to only playing docked with my pro controller. They definitely feel more responsive in the little testing I did though. Even just the calibration on the switch felt snappy and responsive.

That’s a solid collection there. Your deck skin looks really nice also. What are all the various vertical handhelds?

I have the 2ds XL, and I love it. I’ve always wanted to try the 3D on the New 3ds, but never had a chance. Link Between Worlds is one of my favorite Zelda games.

I tried to respond to most of you, but I’m getting a strange error in my wefwef app whenever I try to reply.

Not so far. It does have a different feel, but it’s not really anything huge.

I’m playing through the PSP exclusive God of War games right now, but typically I use it as my JRPG machine. I have many final fantasy games on it, as well as games like Persona 3+4.

This Black Myths Pod episode in turn does a great job of deconstructing that documentary, acknowledging its strengths, and pointing out where it misleads or leaves out information.

It depends what you’re playing on it, for sure. I Can get a couple hours of GameCube or PS2, and a few hours of older games. I mostly use it for the former, though I’ll occasionally use it for platformers that need more precision than the Analogue Pocket’s dpad Can provide. It’s still a mushy dpad, but much less prone to false diagonals than Analogues.

Would it have ever made it through the ideological state apparatus without the cop out ending, though? I could see as the artist reaching that point, so close to your vision being public, and being told to change the end or risk losing control of the direction entirely when they bring in a new person. Might have felt like damage control, in the wrong hands, that movie could have been even more copagandistic than it was already.

I’m from the U.S. most of the services I actually Can use are funded by state taxes. My federal taxes go partially to good things, but when looking at the discretionary budget, which excludes entitlements to which people have directly paid and which the government is obligated to pay out, the vast majority of my federal tax dollars go to oppressing people in foreign countries, and then those weapons are given to police departments to oppress people locally.

The videos on the ps store are really high quality, I would definitely call them gorgeous. I have no interest in this game, but I’ll probably pick it up on sale to let my little brothers play in a year or two.

And somehow restricting the right to vote even further towards those with a material interest towards maintaining the system as is, while disenfranchising those most negatively effected by the system, will lead to better outcomes for those disenfranchised and disaffected groups?

I felt like I was riding in an on rails open top vehicle through a like, society made up out of pulsating fractals. I remember going under an arch, and on top of the arch were beings also made of light and pulsating fractals, and they looked at me and spoke and fractals spilled out of their mouths.

After I got through the arch, I heard this sound like… a torn speaker driver crackling as it plays, and the sound got louder until it was like a stampede of Buffalo engulfing everything that is. I felt my eyes open as if they were always closed, and around me I saw sand in all directions. I became scared. I remember thinking, what if I can’t come back from here? And suddenly it was like I was sucked backwards through reality and deposited back into my body.

My friend who was with me and also under the influence said he saw arrows embossed on my skin pointing up towards my head, and then I became invisible for a moment, completely unseen. As quickly as I left, I returned. And we had an interesting conversation after.

There’s fools all over Reddit and lemmy saying the same thing. I had a guy argue that because in 2011 60% we’re overweight in Gaza, that means today no one is starving.

Found the guy with the superiority complex mad that the union didn’t fall for their sucking up to the bosses.

I probably play the Pocket, the RG353V, and the Pocket Flip the most, but I really love the steam deck as a pc replacement for accessing my massive steam library without using my giant power guzzling pc.

I can’t get physical copies new of just about any game made before the late 00s.

In through the nose, out through the mouth. Expand your diaphragm on exhales, meaning your belly should extend, and compress it on inhales, meaning your belly should contract. Deep, long breaths, with each one, return your focus to your form. When you drift, and find your breathing is automatic again, and your mind has wandered, acknowledge the thought, and return your awareness to your breathing. In through then nose, belly contracting and chest expanding, hold, out through the mouth, belly expanding and chest contracting.

All that to say, manual breathing is something I think everyone should practice regularly.

That’s a big part of it too, but i think an even bigger part is the use of TikTok in counter culture. It is definitively the largest gathering of counter culture on the web. They fear losing control of the narrative. The intelligence agencies already control Meta and google. They have members on TikTok’s board. Social media is an avenue for consent manufacturing for our government, and any deviation from their manufactured line is unacceptable.

There’s hundreds of years of experimentation with different democratic formations. We have pretty solid data on what does and doesn’t work. Put simply, the entire system we have works exactly as intended. Minority rule by private property holders and owners of capital is expressly the intended outcome of our system. If you want better outcomes, you need a system predicated on creating those outcomes, not one predicated on ensuring elite rule in perpetuity. We’ve reformed the system hundreds of times, we‘be got to accept at some point that you can’t reform a system away from the very thing it was built to ensure.

I could get into a discussion about alternative and significantly more equitable and representative forms of organization, but that’s not what Musk is doing here. He’s doing, as he always does, the work of the far right while masking his intentions behind bullshit transparent “I’m just asking questions” shtick that I don’t understand how anyone ever fell for in the first place, much less how people buy it now.

I am of the opinion that nothing short of a completely new constitution and reconstruction of our systems of governance will be sufficient. Complete dismantling of the Prison Industrial Complex, the Military Industrial Complex, and the school to prison pipeline are entirely necessary. Justice should be predicated on restoring and rehabilitation, not imprisonment and punishment.

If we continue with a representative system, representatives must be tied to the will of their constituents, with removal and possibly criminal charges for going against said will.

I think that any system which enshrines the right to private property will inevitably suffer corruption as those with capital are able to leverage it into more capital, which can be used to inevitably buy politicians. So I think that while personal property is acceptable, private property should be abolished entirely, and all workplaces turned over to the employees. We live in a system that promotes itself as ostensibly democratic, but 99% of the institutions we interact with on a daily basis are oligarchies at best, feudal dictatorships more often. You cannot have a democratic society when the decisions of how to utilize resources are made privately.

Ahh it’s actually a rather common conception, dating back to at least the 1700s, and espoused by individuals such as Adam Smith.

Essentially, the things you use in your life. Your home, your car, your toothbrush. If you’re an artisan, the tools you use to create your goods. Essentially everything you own falls under personal property.

Private property, on the other hand can be defined as follows: Modern private property is the power possessed by private individuals in the means of production which allows them to dispose as they will of the workers' labor-power (that is, the ability of the worker to labor for certain periods).

One cannot utilize private property fully oneself, and must rely upon the labor of workers to transform the productive capacities of the factory and materials and machines into real, tangible products. No one man creates private property. Factory owners don’t create factories, laborers do. No man creates all the machines that run in a factory, other laborers do. But private property allows one to profit purely off of ownership. It is rent seeking at its height.

Or, maybe people recognize that literally the majority of radioactive mining leaves irradiated lands that disproportionately effect minorities and oppressed communities. The Navajo are still suffering due to the mining of radioactives in their area. The same story is true for nearly every community near such facilities.
