Mmm, not sure I like this better. If the majority in your community are filled with religious crazies suddenly you’re ruled by backwards ass religious laws from millenia ago. Laws and enforcement would be even more incoherent, not less. No matter who is enforcing the laws, we need ways to keep ALL people in power accountable regardless of how it’s organized and I don’t think that goes away in a more anarchist kind of world.

Fella, the stuff Gen Z struggles with is the light switch.

Nah sorry we’re not taking the red states. They can be their own Christofascist hell elsewhere.

No hate, I’m just surprised. I’ve legitimately never not had a game work so far, and most people I know only seem to have issues on games with anti-cheat.

Doesn’t mean I don’t believe you though, I just might have horseshoes in my ass, such that I somehow have only played games that are largely compatible without issues.

I am curious what games had issues for you though.

Not holding my breath until all appeals get denied

The problem with having reasonable and respectful discourse with people you disagree with, is that you first have to find people willing to have reasonable and respectful discourse. In real life I’ve met plenty. On Twitter, there are none. They’re mostly just in getting a rise out of libs and lefties. We’ve already been finding that disengaging with them and moving to a platform they don’t have influence over has made them a lot more impotent.

They said that in 2016 too after rigging things against populist grassroots candidates in favour of establishment Democrats and learned nothing.

The hilarious thing to me is that without realizing this guy just wrote an on point summary of The Handmaid’s Tale and the harmful effects of patriarchy in a single Tweet, but not because he explained it well.

I think going from the relatively peaceful period of the 90s in the west to living through the Bush administration, 9/11, racist fear mongering and alarmism over terrorism, mass erosion of rights and privacy, jingoism and wars in the Middle East under false pretenses, the Bush adminstration’s connections with the military-industrial complex getting exposed, seeing stuff like Fox News, Glenn Beck, and Bill O’Reilly start to mindrot the boomer generation into unrecognizable husks of their former selves, the 2008 market crash due the effects of all the failed conservative economic policies and deregulation that occured the past few decades — coloured Gen Xers’ and Millennials’ perspectives in a way that I imagine would be difficult for Gen Z to grasp.

They have no point of reference to see how badly things changed under the Republican party because they already grew up in the shit, and due to Republican obstructionism they may think that it’s Democrats faults because Obama and Biden were in the White House, but much of the fixing actually needs to happen in the house. But even that may not be enough because of the partisan Supreme Court.

And honestly, in a case of a lot of cis Gen Z boys who’ve been sucked into some shoddy conservative ideas, I feel like we failed them if guys like Andrew Tate, Trump, and other such garbage heaps of human beings were the ones getting through to them.

I think feeling frustrated that we’re not doing enough to prevent the next set of people from having to go through this and suffer this bad is a perfectly reasonable reaction to have, actually.

Lol

Not without nepotism you don’t

When I try to think of things that would sell out quickly, clown shoes were not on my list but here we are.

Outside of a few small local businesses that actually care about doing right by people, loyalty hasn’t mattered for decades dude. Companies don’t give a shit about any of us. Why even bother thinking in terms of loyalty, it’s completely misaligned with how they operate.

Damn beat me to it

Are there modded clients for mobile?

Lol I can tell you just used Google Lens or some shit and then proceeded to make it sound like you knew what you were talking about by assuming it was Japanese (it’s not).

The more people get into it the less valuable it becomes is the thing. But others pointed out there’s a ton of other reasons it’s problematic, like the need for those other jobs to exist to actually, like, have a functioning society.

Edit: Also arguably a lot of the low hanging fruit coding positions aren’t as lucrative as they once were. People with experience are doing well. New people are having a tougher time getting their foot in the door compared to 5-10 years ago.

My high school never had math competitions so I’ll never know how I’d do. :(
