US soldiers can play GTA VI for 4 days if they agree to reenlist for a minimum of two years and up to six years. Very normal country.

the mutual aid requests will increase until you're the one requesting mutual aid. so if "everything is fine" with you, that's great, use some of your time + energy online to make sure others get their needs met.

When people talk about "AI replacing jobs" and whether it's reasonable to want to push back against that, the implicit assumption is that AI is replacing jobs because it's as good at or better at the people doing those jobs, which I think is a pretty obvious unfounded assertion at this point

to the people thinking it's weird that there are some of us out here wanting the AI bubble to pop: one, it should never have gotten to this point two, you can't recover from something as it's ongoing three, there's already irreparable harm from it, would be nice if it were to cease entirely

Yesterday the existential threat was BLM, trans people, DEI, “wokeness,” whatever; now Palestinian solidarity, Muslims, immigrants, or socialism is the next alien force corrupting the country. Why? Reactionary politics depends on maintaining a permanent sense that the social order is under siege.

People on the ostensible left are helping rewrite a period of mass political mobilization as an embarrassing cultural excess rather than a response to identifiable material conditions to convince you mass mobilization itself was illegitimate and returning to it would be irresponsible. That is all.

Every time someone gets in trouble for saying “America deserved 9/11”, which I concede is an inflammatory statement, we are currently engaged in the kind of shit that would cause someone to do a 9/11.

Sony's live service trend chasing has to be one of the most disastrous things to have happened in gaming, a historic bag fumble forcing studios lauded for their single player games into producing live service bullshit that nobody wanted, pissing away nearly the entire console generation.

that is true though it may come across as flippant, but there are much more pressing issues in the world and it boggles the mind as to how people are ok with the suffering of others, for example society looks nothing like what it pretends to be, and inclusivity is the better path
