republican party died with john mccain

good call. language matters now more than ever, and their newspeak redefinition of words needs to be recognized as the weapon they’re using it for

most of the things i’ve read about this thing has been just more and more typical corpo user-hostile practices. if i ever had more than a passing interest in buying one, it would have been gone by now

PCMR FTW

and here we are with “someone died in detention false imprisonment” as just another tuesday

i’m also a KB/M player, and to be honest it’s been several (many…? i don’t remember when) years since i’ve tried OG deus ex 1, and remember thinking damn this seems like a chore.

i might just need to give it another shot, with full awareness i’ll never get the same experience of playing through for the first time on windows 98.

in my late teens/early 20s this game made me aware of more conspiracy theories than i even imagined possible, and i loved it. amazing game. pretty cutting edge at the time, but it aged poorly gameplay-wise. none of the sequels came close for me. i’d buy a well-done faithful remake of this in a heartbeat

you should really get rid of the assumption that the 1% have to deal with any of the problems they force on everyone else. rich people have their own separate existence. they live in rich-people-only neighborhoods. they park in rich-people-only parking lots. they go on vacation in rich-people-only parts of the world. their kids go to rich-people-only schools.

in effect, no, they do not live on the same planet. they live on rich-people-only planet, and one of their core purposes in life is to keep themselves there, while keeping everyone else out.

when due process is completely ignored, then you can be pretty sure that “legal” has no meaning anymore. especially seeing as how the people who are supposed to be enforcing these “laws” are the ones who are ignoring them

i had assumed that PDs already had all this. either way, they’ve got your DL photo on file, so it’s not like you weren’t already in there

edit: nevermind, i misunderstood and thought the AI co was giving images to the PD. this is fascist nazi bullshit

you might as well assume that any traffic you send to an american vpn is routed directly to the NSA, FBI, etc. get something that physically resides in a GDPR country. as for price, it’s either that or just drop the P out of VPN

switched to tidal months ago and haven’t looked back. spotify offers absolutely nothing that can’t be gotten from another music streamer and without all the shitty bullshit of spotify. unless you just simply can’t live without podcasts

we’ve always been at war with eurasia

so how is it? i would say i hope it gets better, but “mixed” reviews at launch doesn’t bode well for a game that depends entirely on lots of people playing

ok. the reasons someone might actually want to go to work in the office (e.g., can’t interact with people who aren’t getting paid to interact) are not the same reasons CEOs want to force you to work in the office (control; oversight; subjugation)

trump could sell bowls of diarrhea with his name on it for $1000, and his sucker cultist followers would take out loans to buy it

i’m skeptical of any study that concludes anyone would rather deal with all the bullshit of working in the office rather than wfh

no one goes to work for the “community,” which can also be gotten literally anywhere other than work

sounds like something corporate slavedriving senior executives decided they wanted a “study” on to prove people want to work in the office

damn asus not reading the room…

the game’s store page doesn’t mention that it requires root access, like it does for some other games. am i missing something?

edit: the words “root” and “level” (ctrl+f’d each one separately) don’t appear anywhere in the EULA. “access” shows up in a couple spots that definitely are NOT talking about root level access. i’m all about outrage over enshittification, but so far this sounds like bullshit

real nObOdY wAnTs To WoRk vibes…

also, if a candidate is having to ask what you’re bringing to the table as an employer at their own job interview because you couldn’t be up-front enough about it to post it on the hiring page, then that’s already enough of a red flag that i already closed the tab

try BL3-- there’s a gun that shoots guns LOL
