@LonesomeWest It’s just a dumb way to think about things. “I voted for the right people because I was told to (lol) and we still don’t have world peace. What gives?”
@revenant_MMXX@uncledoomer It was a bit more nuanced for me. Working retail for years brute forced my social skills after being an awkward teenage shut in. It also made me hate boomers with a burning passion. Overall a net positive, I’d say
@MinModulation Is it the same amount of work and labor? My understanding is that the size of teams and the scope of the work have skyrocketed for AAA games. That’s probably not a good thing, but decades ago the latest and greatest games were made by teams of less than 100 people
people hate ai art is really because they’re unc status and coping. people hate it in exactly the same way that every generation gets repulsed by the younger generation’s culture. it’s literally just gen alpha's native aesthetic
I think what he was getting at was that the WHCD could be hosted at the White House instead, which would be more secure than a privately owned hotel anyone can stay at. It’s still kind of dumb because that’s obviously not necessary and shifts the blame away from the Secret Service, where it belongs.
@hollowearthterf My perfect wife told me she specifically wanted lab grown and not big and gaudy. She says real diamonds are not justifiable morally or financially because they are chemically identical
I see. Of course I’ve heard plenty of people say leftists/DSA are class reductionists, which is a fair criticism, but I haven’t seen it taken as far as calling them ‘white supremacists’. Seems like a bit of a stretch to me, even as a neolib shill. Especially when a lot of them seem to take explicitly anti-white positions like this.
@theoluminati At the risk of being annoying, could you give me an example? I am curious about this, because my assumption was that this has been mostly about pushing back against DSA/adjacent candidates for the 2 reasons you listed.
@pitchfork Thanks p4k. There is literally nothing I would rather do with my precious time on this Earth than listen to Adam Friedland talk about Taylor Swift and Drake.
