Other people have more detailed and factual answers, but a good heuristic is “there must be outgroups for the law to bind but not protect, and in groups for the law to protect but not bind”. That’s what they want. They want to do what they want while women and queers and non-whites are subjugated. They want to say something inappropriate and touch their women coworkers without consent, and know if she raises her voice she’ll be fired.

They are scum.

Maybe? Conservatives are mostly about feelings. The “fuck your feelings” thing was a confession and projection, as most conservative accusations are.

I’m sure some of the maga hats saying kill the homeless would change their tune if they became homeless. No empathy. No ability or willingness to think about other perspectives. They are, simply, stupid.

Something should have been fired, that’s for sure

RFK sucks and is probably in the top 10 most harmful people alive right now.

But if you say anything unkind about the republicans, you’re the real monster! /s

Every maga hat is a danger to society. Fuck them.

I feel like they’d make more money if they targeted lower end machines. My friend has a potato laptop and would enjoy borderlands, so they’re out of luck. They’re not going to spend any money on a new gaming toy because it’s not that big a hobby for them. I imagine there are many such people.

Many people are driven by feelings. We all are to some extent. But for many people feelings are primary. This comes up all the time.

You can show charts and studies and everything, but they don’t care. You have to make them feel good about it.

Frankly I’m kind of sick of pandering to overgrown toddlers, but there’s no escape from it.

I honestly missed that in the list. We have too many huge problems :(

Climate change should probably be on there, too

I liked that one but weirdly there’s no NG+ and the DLC kind of sucked. I finished it with a friend and we were like, “that’s it?”. It’s not very long, and it ends shortly after your end of skill tree powers become available.

They do it for money. If people had standards, they’d behave better. Imagine if every time they announced they were doing more ads, every user cancelled. There is power in solidarity.

Unfortunately, most people are some mix of tired lazy stupid short-sighted

Being stunned is one of the most annoying things. I’m here to play not to watch

I don’t consider single player changes cheating. For something to be cheating, you need to break the rules agreed to by the players. If you’re the only player, you presumably can’t break the agreement you make with yourself.

Hypothesis: people who cheat in video games are scum bags in other aspects of life. I wonder if anyone’s done a study on that. I feel like the kind of person who has to cheat in video games is a broken sad sack.

Stuff I use the phone for in rough order of importance:

• maps and GPS
• messaging (signal)
• emulators and other quality games (none of that candy crush slop)
• ebook reading
• Wikipedia / quick research
• Lemmy

I could drop lemmy from mobile because it’s just a time waster and news source.

Wikipedia is important because too often people are interminably arguing something that can be settled with a 30 second search. Like, you don’t need to spend 5 minutes arguing about the population of NJ just look it up.

Games are nice. I don’t want to go back to carrying around a second device for games like it’s 2001. I could bring a steam deck everywhere but that doesn’t fit in my pocket.

I don’t have any notifications turned on except like direct messages, so I don’t find it much of a distraction.

Rfk Jr sucks, is responsible for misery and death, and should be removed from office.

Kirk was a piece of shit. Everyone defending him at the very least is shit stained by association

There’s too many people that are going to say stabbing a Nazi is inappropriate and we have to remember their family.

I forgot they were even making this game. BL3 was kind of bad, the pre sequel was painful. The tiny Tina one was okay but weirdly had no ng+ and shitty dlc. Meh.
