Greed is the fundamental flaw that makes humanity awful.

Learning that it was so rich white people in the south could substitute the votes of newly freed black slaves with theirs is what got me.

All this shit is because they were too fucking nice to the slavers.

All your arguments against it are the reason I want it. Isn't that fascinating.

It all starts with the stupid

Cheaper this way. Clearly you don't business. /s

"some" == 5 children on a college campus

If they started auctioning off and selling his properties to make money, it would turn over a lot of really dark stones full of other people's criminal activities.

He's being protected by the club he's in, not because they like him but because they would be in trouble if they didn't.

It could also really mean "Non-white for racist audiences"

That's a nice way of calling people helping you cowards for doing it half hearted cuz they're also afraid of your opponent. I think the message was sent.

He MUST know how much influence Russia has in the halls of power and media of his allies as well.

Ukraine fights a war on MANY fronts. Not all of them with bullets.

Either 100% deliberate or a prank by a mate. Either way. Win.

Of all the services asking me for a monthly fee. $5 for a non-profit private communication tool is a no brainer.

The backlash is generally against all enshitification.

You get a useful free plan. Make it useless over time to convince people to pay for a plan. Make THAT plan useless over time to make people pay for the more expensive plan.. repeat until capitalism ends.

That's why people care. Eg: see all subscription services ever

I'd give it a zero out of ten just for being an RPG with a single save slot. They failed at the starting line. The got the core of RPGs completely wrong. Taking a shit on it with MTX seems like this was deliberate self sabotage

You wouldn't download a bunny...

Historically if Americans vote, Republicans lose. That's why they work so hard to get people to not vote.

There is probably some secret rich person drug that they're all doing that makes them this way. We'll find out about it in a few decades.

It's gonna shock you to find out he's a huge proponent of sharing wealth and not hoarding it.

Pretty sure they'd be fine with it if trillions and trillions didn't disappear into military and black budgets (ie transferring money to their friends)

This is nothing. Wait until you see what the corporations will do when they're told to stop polluting say the water source of a major city and they say fuck you to the EPA

It's gonna get so so so much worse

"Millions leave Chicago because Dow Chemical poisons the water table. When asked for comment a DOW chemical PR representative said: 'Yeah, suck a dick losers' "

One problem at a time. The biggest problem first.

Getting people to the voting booth at all costs. Nothing else comes even close to being relevant if Trump wins.

Heck. It might be the last democratic election in American history. Seems worth voting just to say you were there.

Fuck Spez.. amirite ? Guys?

It's like inviting a bunch of drunk frat boys to a house party. They're just gonna show up break shit and rape people

He and the shareholders still made a ton of money. They will do it again so they can make a ton more money.

He doesn't care and never will.

I gotta say. Props to Lemmy users here. This thread is just post after post of generally reasonable take on how enjoyment and entertainment work in reality.

And really just a perfect argument for why infinite growth live service games are a fucking cancer dreamed up by humans who are fucking parasites.

Helldivers is great and the devs should be proud of their success. A+ .

It is an ok day. The first GOOD day will be when any of these clowns face real personal and financial consequences.

Musk is still a billionaire and Trump still pays for nothing, which when it comes down to it, is the same.

Until they change CEOs again. I wonder what it'd be like to not have corporate parasites everywhere

And EVERY single news organization in the US uses it both as their primary platform AND source for news.

Even fucking NPR. What the actual fuck is that about ?

90% of screenshots on Lemmy are from Twitter ffs. It boggles my mind, and I am not easily boggled.

Yuuuup

There's a reason ACAB is a thing. They're the most destructive gang in the world.

Start at the top, every chief, superintendent and supervisor should be on trial. They should all serve time and lose their chance to police..

First that we know of anyway. Either way fuckin awesome

Yarr? Yarr. Yarrr!!

Rabbit doesn't truck with human genders

Of course it doesn't. The amount of money these people make is insignificant compared to the billions siphoned off by corporations to payout themselves and their shareholders. Wage suppression is about control.

Gamers continue to buy the games by publishers that do this and will continue to put up with it as they slowly boil like frogs.

It's difficult to fight the slow conditioning that started with horse armor and Farmville. There's no escaping it until we replace capitalism with something better.

I'm pretty sure wikipedia knows before the person who died

They call "refusing to be exploited" piracy. Generally industries where there are huge monopolies like media, groceries, and other such thing are most sensitive to this because they lack the ability to deal with outside pressures any more.

Vilifying people fighting back is the cheapest way to manage this.

I'm kinda looking forward to seeing what replaces things like Netflix and Spotify

The only thing spherical is the visible universe from earth that we can see. Both in time and distance. Due to the expansion of space that volume is increasing.

The entire universe could be infinite and take on any number of infinite shapes. Our local universe could be completely different from the rest of the universe and we'll never be able to know..it's wild.

Recent experiments trying to determine what the curvature of space-time is in the visible universe has concluded that it's pretty much flat But it's entirely possible that we're just on a very very very large (infinite?) curved surface of spacetime that just looks flat to us..

It's almost like they don't have money
