That’s what it means to live in a “post-truth” world. There are essentially two overlapping but competing worldviews each with their own “reality”. Which is fucking sad. When I was young I imagined the internet being what would eventually connect us all and truly inform everyone. Instead, we got echo chambers festering into actual terrorism.
Reminds me of the original AVP catchphrase: “Whoever wins, we lose”.
And also that for democracy to survive, you need to win every time, whereas they only need to really win once in order to establish dominance.
It’s not an even battle, not by a long shot.
Most of those don’t have an army of sycophants trying to rewrite reality in realtime for them.
Erdogan once said “democracy is a bus we ride until we reach our destination”. I feel major similar vibes from the GOP.
Cowards. The Ukrainians are laying down their lives in defense of Europe and they can’t even get this, but a genocidal maniac who would sacrifice millions to remain in power gets all the aid he wants.
Drew Karpyshyn really knocked that conversation out of the park. One of the very best scenes in gaming history.
See, that is why you’d want actual authors to do your game’s story for you…
I would take 100 mosquito bites over one tick. One of the only creatures in nature to scare the hell out of me. And I own snakes.
May the Musks receive as much from the world as they have given in kind.
I did one once. Managed to somehow install Catalina on a Lattepanda sbc. I would’ve never expected it to work, so I was positively elated.
The thing then promptly shorted, let out the magic smoke, and I haven’t tried anything similar since. Took it as a sign from the universe that if I were meant to be good at it, i wouldn’t have managed to fry aforementioned sbc, and several other ones (2 Jetson nano’s as well).
Ancient Illyria: “Am I a joke to you?”
Luckily, they were just orphans and widows, so no one will miss them /s.
Israel is now worse than Nazi Germany, because they do this shit openly and without shame (and repercussions).
Stuck on peak, please send rescue.
Lol no. If anything this will get them more votes.
I don’t have any friends, really. Not since Covid.
Ah my bad. You’re correct of course.
I grew up getting talked over at home. At school I was bullied and ostracized. After entering the workforce, I’ve been quietly beaten down at every workplace and made to feel like I should STFU at all times.
Today, people ask me why I’m so quiet most of the time and why I don’t attend non-mandatory work functions or teambuildings anymore. I can only smile faintly and fakely while agreeing with them that I must be shy or simply have nothing to contribute.
It is what it is.
They would do better to protest at Bezos’ mansions. He’s the owner…
He fucks kids. They all do. Someone has the proof => they tapdance to whatever tune their handlers play.
One who still stands a chance of actually winning. It’s fairly impossible to grasp looking from the outside in.
