  • Ye. The control sticks issue is beyond stupid. I switched to hall effect sticks on two pairs. Its crazy you have to be able to disassemble and rebuild your joy-cons if you want them for more than 2 years max.

    Nintendo made it hell getting them fixed. No way I have the receipt for a consol I bought over the counter 3-4 years ago. Also there is a 5 year guarantee on them where I live, so why would i even need the receipt anyway. Just fix your trash Nintendo.

  • I work in the industry and see how the industry treat it's workers, climate and environment.

    For me it's more important to future proof our species then feeding some capitalist hedgefund dollars.

    Flagging the ships to countries with proper societal structures with military defence and laws is beneficial for everyone except the sharks. Lemmy is pretty anti-capitalist untill their cheap Chinese electronics are under threat.

    IMO has codes to better the conditions at sea with SOLAS, MARPOL and MLC. With a foot inside the industry you are a fool to see these regulations are far from enough.

    The regular philipine seaman is onboard 9 months on a single contract, and has to get a new contract for the next time. The regular western seafarer has a 1/1 rotation with an employment contract with a shipping company.

    More expensive shipping forces less shipping. Which might re-establish local industries. Europe made much of its stuff before. Now it's moved to cheap countries in the east. Norway sends fish to china for processing, it gets sent back and sold in Norway. This is insane to me.

    Norway has 1 shoe maker left. Other Norwegian shoemakers has their head office in Norway, but production is moved to Asia.

  • I'm pretty knowledgeable on how shipping works. If not I wouldn't know shit about what a flag state is.

    A company in country A flags their ship to a tax haven which is country B. They hire seafarers from country C to commit to the social dumping of poor people. Usually from the Philippines or India.

    They transport goods between countries with to ties to A, B or C. Which is fine of course. That's trade.

    Owners in country A enrich themselves from tax evasion in B, and wage theft from C.

    One of the largest cruise companies in Norway have their ships flagged to Swiss. The land locked shipping nation of the Alps.

    This is an opportunity to bruteforce the shipping companies to bring their wealth home.

  • The Afghan people were given the tools to maintain a working state. They didn't want it. The president broke the sound barrier leaving the office, and the army was not as big as they told us it was. Paper soldiers.

    This is the state they wanted. Let them enjoy it.

    Im all for helping women leave the country so the men can enjoy their Islamic dream by themselves.

  • You don't buy Nintendo for pure computing power. I prefer Nintendo consoles for the portability and game library.

    I also have a pc with a 3070ti for more demanding games. Games that Xboxes and playstations runs like shit anyway.

  • I don't believe anyone cares for Incels as people just in involuntary celibat letting their day go by with studies, work and their hobby.

    Incels who are loud misogynistic is the only people we know are actually in involuntary celibat, and mad about it.

    Grown ups don't hate virgins by default.

  • This is straight up attempted murder.

    The guy must have imagined this moment in his head houndred of times on how this situation one day would occur. This was the day for him to materialize the dream of being shot and get to kill in response.

    An acorn falling on a metal sheet can't be mistaken as a gun fire unless you're a jumpy psychopath.

  • Had he just said that NATO countries are failing their duty as a member as they're not paying the agreed amount of money for the alliance he would actually sound sane. Most Europeans agree to that. The governments have been slacking for years, and now there is a war. Again.

    Instead he talks like a lunatic. Fuck that guy.

  • That's a crazy bad take as someone who's been murdered is dead, but someone imprisoned is not necessarily innocent.

    Without knowing how many of those 1087 are innocent the comparison is worthless.

    Either El Salvador falls, or they commit to this crackdown. I'm not defending kangaroo courts of innocent people, but I can sympathise with why the country does it with the circumstances.

  • They had a homicide rating of 100/100.000. A 0.1% chance of getting murdered. Think about it.

    Any society spinning out of control that way is doomed to collapse or turn to extreme measures to save itself. El Salvador chose the latter. Doesn't mean it's ok, but it seems to be the only viable alternative now.

  • People wear those fucking white stalks hanging from their ears when interacting with people. I see gangs of teens hanging out, all having white stalks on their ears and no one seem to care anymore.

    It's not respectful to the person you're interacting with having those dangling around without showing you actually listen to what's being said. Of course people will wear these to show off as soon as possible.

  • What is your way to go about that?

    If you aren't doing anything, what way(s) would you deem acceptable?

    They're not doing anything except ruining the day of normal people around them. And after they give themselves morale immunity from any responsibility for anything bad that happens.

    If they want to protest they should sink yatchs, ground private airplanes and drag billionaires by the hair out of their bunkers and execute them. That would actually be something. But they choose to disturb random working class peasants trying to enjoy a minute for themselves instead of being crushed by capitalism for one pretty moment.

    Useless arguments are thrown around like hot garbage here. Of course they won't do what's excpected for change because they don't want change. They want a free pass from any personal responsibility.
