Yeah this comment should not be so far in the negatives. I much prefer calling someone a dickhead for going before their turn than screaming "YOU HAVE RIGHT OF WAY" at some dipshit who's holding up traffic because they feel like being nice

companies of the modern era have to justify their existence not just with success, but growth, and Microsoft's been struggling to do that.

All natural and technological processes proceed in such a way that the availability of the remaining energy decreases. In all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves an isolated system, the entropy of that system increases. Energy continuously flows from being concentrated to becoming dispersed, spread out, wasted and useless. New energy cannot be created and high grade energy is being destroyed. An economy based on endless growth isǗ̷̺̲͖̹̅̕Ñ̸̓ͅS̷̡̱̫̈́̄Ȕ̸̱̦͜S̶̟̈̈́͐̆͐T̸̢͕̭̞̺̅̊͗̾A̶̢̞̔ͅI̸̜̜͕̓̔̎͝N̷̢̂̚͝Å̴̖̻̘̉͋͜ͅB̸̨̲̗̹́L̴̖͙̜̝̓̈́È̷͎̤

Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio ( www.theverge.com )

Today, one day after Microsoft announced that it would shut down four of its games studios, Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, held a town hall to discuss the division’s future goals. “We need smaller games that give us prestige and awards,” Booty told employees, according to internal remarks shared with The Verge....

So proton will only give users' information to governments if the government calls the user a terrorist. Good thing governments don't just throw that word around willy-nilly!

Yeah let's encourage citizens to report their neighbors for every legal offense, this kind of thing has always gone well throughout history

Say, I'm pretty sure I saw you invite a couple folks into your home the other day, and I never saw them come out. Oh would you look at that, the SS is here!

Similarities to fascism aside, this is still an awful idea. Have you ever dealt with automated rule enforcement? It's an awful way to enforce rules. But even if every single report had a human follow up on it, there's also massive, unprecedented privacy issues. You may be totally fine with my insurance company knowing where I am 24/7, but I sure as hell am not. I'm super not okay with a government (which we have) gaining free access to that information for anything they want (which they would). Oh hey, we're back to fascism

my only ask is that you make this article go viral by sharing it in faux-outrage that the EIC of The Verge has published an article partially generated by AI, because after the buttons I am going to include a bunch of AI-generated copy from Google’s Gemini in order to pad this thing out.

Y'all mfs didn't read the article lmao

Don't have to spend money on dates, don't have to open up to anyone, but also don't have any dates to spend money on, and don't have anyone to open up to

This comment confuses me. How do you reckon that growing plants produces more carbon than growing plants and feeding them to animals?

Right so grow them outside or don't power it with coal and oil

How do you feed the animals in winter?

Livestock requires food too. However much you need to grow and store in the warm months to feed the animals in winter could feed 10 times as many humans instead, regardless of how you do that. Not feeding the plants we grow to animals would necessarily be more efficient.

I mean, among racists yeah. This isn't really analogous to race, though. Rape culture is a thing. Women have legitimate reason to be wary around men in a way that white people do not have legitimate reason to be wary around black people.

Maybe instead of trying really hard to act like you're a victim of prejudice, you should take some time to think about why women largely choose the bear.

Saw a video of the other day of some guy that bought a cybertruck, and his review can basically be summarized as "it has a ton of issues, there's rust all over it, it's incredibly dangerous, definitely worth the $100,000"

starman2112 ,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

It's not misandry to be wary around men. Rape culture is a thing. It is not equivalent to racism.

People use arguments to justify everything. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong. This is a stupid point.

and rape culture isn't really a thing, it's not a culture... it's a problem but that's the wrong word.

If you can't be bothered to so much as type "what is rape culture" into google, I'm done talking to you

starman2112 ,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

It's a good thing literally no one actually thinks that all men are dangerous scumbags

starman2112 , (edited )
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

in most cultures, rape is seen as pretty bad.

Yes, literally everyone agrees that rape is bad. The problem is that in our culture, we have a bad habit of rationalizing what we do as not really rape. How many times have you heard someone ask what a woman was wearing, or why she was walking home at night instead of driving, or why she was alone at a bar, or why she didn't fight back, or why she didn't report sexual violence as soon as it happened? Why does nearly every woman have at least one experience with sexual violence? Why did we elect a guy who openly admitted to sexual assault as president? It's almost like we have a culture around enabling and forgiving rape, in large part by rationalizing it as "not really" rape. I wonder if there's a word for a culture that enables sexual violence.

Do people give you a ton of flak, or do they complain about things they've experienced exclusively at the hands of men and you're getting defensive about it?

starman2112 ,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

Lemme try again. The same argument is not used (at least, not legitimately) to justify racism, because you do not have to actively take precautions to defend yourself from people of other races.

starman2112 ,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

Ask any woman, they'll let you know that some guys take that "wow, I super hated being treated like that" and don't wisely stay the fuck away. Someone who cannot empathize with the caution women have to show around strangers is probably not the best partner anyway.

It was awesome! It gave me strong Last Exile vibes, despite the two series being nothing alike. Out of the anime I listed in that comment, it's the one I'd recommend the most based on Wolf's Rain
