Capitalism has carcinisation for rent. If something stay solvent long enough, it will turn into a rent seeking subscription.

They are still fucking traitors. To the streets with them, like the others.

Because happy people don’t talk about why they are happy.

Just like kids. People usually share the hardships unless prompted to share the good memories.

We like to share our struggles and commiserate so that we feel better. When we are happy, we don’t need to do that.

He’s a grifter, of course he will vote for someone that will make grifting easier.

I do understand that the DNC has complete control. We’ve seen many example of that, the most egregious being Bernie vs Clinton.

US society is fundamentally to the right and the DNC will keep it that way.

That creates an issue where changing the Democrat Party will take a long long time. So the better option would be a real left party, but that would mean that Republicans would be in power for a while, until the politcal landscape changes and stabilise with 3 parties. And that’s not accounting for the DNC that will work against the newly formed party.

Denying that the DNC is neo-liberal to its core is deliberate ignorance.

Any prominent member that has an ounce of progressism has to fight the DNC at every corner to get through, like we’ve seen Mamdani.

Meanwhile, progressives should definitely vote for the Democrats. But this is a different issue. The vote turnout is terrible in North America (we have the same problem in Canada).

The DNC is neo-liberal, period. They are center right everywhere in the world.

Luke, Han and co should have been 20 mins in the first film to hand off the plot to the new generation of characters.

The terms are used because of the narritive forms of a story.

1st person is from the point of view of the character, thus the view from the eyes of the playable character.

3rd person is he/she perspective. You follow the character from the narration of an external narrator. You see the playable character do actions from a perspective that isn’t their own or someone’s else.

2nd person would be from the point of view of a person involved with the character but isn’t it. So you would see the actions of the character through the eyes of an NPC. There was a demo floating around YouTube where a player was shooting zombies, and the camera was from the POV of thr zombies. It made it look pretty weird.

I fucking hate this phrase. You have the choice to not participate and be a normal human instead of a sociopath.

Hate the players because they perpetuate the game.

That sounds on par for course. They have a valod reason, but other people that do it don’t and are terrible people.

And nothing will come out of it, as always.

It’s because there is no such thing as optimisation anymore. Websites are bloated to the gills with terrible animations and tracking scripts.

76 is a fun brainless Fallout multiplayer. I’d rather have a real Fallout MP instead of 76, but I can’t lie and had over 100hrs of fun.

Having the capabilities to take on debt helps to garner investments.

You can do a joint venture, take on a bit of debt but get more money of it.

And we’ve seen many mega corpos finance their venture throught debt (see Uber business model).

So I’d say that it was true in the past, but corpos are getting bolder.

The point is that major shareholder will try to hide insider knowledge to sell their stock before a big crash.

They pump the stock value as much as possible and sell it before it crashes. They make a shit ton of money and some suckers are left holding the bag.

Because higher stock value means more collateral for debt.

You’d be surprised on how much debt is used in even small companies.

There was a meme going around a month or so ago of 5 AI companies jerking off, representing the circular financing that this article talks about.

From the moment these “investments” were announced, people were already raising flags about circular investments.

Back to fiefdom! You’ll work hard for your techlords or you’ll be starving.

Grim Dawn is not a live game service.

Last Epoch promised to only have MTX and pay only once to get the full experience. That’s not the case anymore.

Last Epoch studio got bought out and people were afraid they were gonna get enshittified and it is happening right now.

DNS only translate a string address (www.mywebsite.com) to its IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) so that it is easier to remember.

Bots just try a range of address and they don’t need to know your domain name. You could have the most unintelligible domain name in the world, bots would still ping your website because they use direct IP addresses.
