It’s not that weird if only two parties stand a chance. Pick the closest one of the two and push it in your favored direction. Your comment is a long-winded way of saying that the two-party system should be abolished.

I gotta respect Hitler for giving no fucks & for “punching” any damn direction he wants.

Yeah, and a lot of boomers disagreed with the characterization of millenials in the media, too. Generations are not a monolith, but often the differences between them are exploited by the ruling class to drive a stake between members of the working class.

Complain all you want, at least I don’t pay people to kill animals so that I may consume their corpse. Merry Christmas though!

I’m just saying, if your reasons for being against the holocaust is that burning the corpses contributed to greenhouse gas emissions, you are kind of a shitty person, but hey, whatever gets you there…?

Millenials love blaming stuff on other generations, they just go for boomers instead. It’ll probably be Gen Alpha next. Kinda already is with the scorn over stuff popular with alpha, such as skibidi toilet and 6 7.

The Founding Fathers were guys like this. Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings for example.

Yeah because it’s a systemic issue. It’s not just a few bad apples, it’s the entire way we let people have power and authority over other people. It’s about how we fetishize and idealize youth, and how we use patriarchy and violence to control people. We will just keep seeing this happen, again and again and again and again, until we either accept that humans should all be equal and free with no power over eachother, or until we go extinct.

First off, I live in the USA

Could have stopped there instead of just wading on in like you already know everything, but then I guess that wouldn’t have been very American

Dude he’s literally just saying that not every pedophile is a terrible person, nothing more than that, chill

For fuck sake, can you keep your fatphobia out of things for five minutes?!

Actually, it’s stupider, the original meth subreddit made rules against posting images of drug use because reddit admins were breathing down their necks, some of the userbase deemed that censorship to be communist because something something 1984. Except, obviously, it was done because advertisers don’t want to advertise next to drug use. So it’s literally classic Americans calling the negative consequences of capitalism communism

Not really, no. The feature set is pretty much impossible to provide profitably, or to self-host for most users, hence all of the services always enshittifying and/or shutting down.

Simple text chat is perfectly achievable. Real time video calls, sure, somewhat. Sending large files to eachother? Cloud-hosted chat history going back to the beginning of time? Not feasible without pretty significant monthly subscription costs. Can’t grow the user base if you charge a subscription to all your users.

Anyways, Mattermost and Matrix kinda sorta work, until they don’t work anymore.

It’s totally valid that a child dying on-screen is triggering for you. I have PTSD, and that feeling of suspension of disbelief being broken is pretty much exactly what derealization feels like, except I get it about things happening in the real world, as well as in movies and TV shows.

With all of that said, I don’t really think you could say the percentage of parents can be said to be causative for how media depicts child death, it’s really more of a direct result of the Hays code - prior to the Hays code depictions of child death weren’t that rare. Child death was more common in those days too, I suppose. It was after the Hays code fell apart, i.e. the 70s where things started to move towards being more violent, and I think that was more likely caused by mainstream depictions of the Vietnam war on the news - and that was probably the decade with more parents than any other decade prior, given the fertility rate peaked in the 60s.

When I was interested in maybe buying the game, I think the day of it’s release, I saw a disclaimer on the steam store page say it used AI. That’s the reason I chose not to buy it. If I am going to buy art, I want it to be the authentic product of real humans, not a facsimile of life animated by the ritual sacrifice of burning limited resources.

Stop buying their shit. Decide on some values and boundaries for yourself, and keep them. I do not buy any games with microtransactions or where the output of LLMs feature in the end product.

Yeah you miss out on some AAA releases, but those games are rarely actually all that fun to play anyways.

Kids die in the real world, you know? And not at all infrequently. I think our media should be at least somewhat representative of reality.

that assumes every business which invests in AI would be bailed out, which is a huge assumption. I would guess the only businesses that would receive bailouts would be those with personal ties to the government

Darwin is a UNIX, I believe!

Under any system where people have power over others, power will begin to concentrate into fewer and fewer hands, until it becomes a problem. The only solution is anarchism.

I’m a mobility scooter user - don’t feel bad for us, these devices are incredibly liberating, in a really life-changing way.

Movies and stuff love to show disabled people as unhappy to be “stuck in a chair” but in the real world most disabled people are very thankful for their assistive technology because the alternative is never going anywhere or doing anything.
