As of right now? Armed military conquest and homophobic conspiracy theories.

I'm in management, if I need someone to stay late I'll say please and ask, and if they say no, I respect it. I don't expect anybody to work outside of their scheduled hours.

That's class solidarity. None of us are owners, we are all the labor.

I need to know if this detail was in release notes, or some player found it by repeatedly checking his horse testicles.

Which is silly because the enshittification of the entire US government will long-term lead to an unstable and impoverished society that is also bad for rich people.

Nobody is going to win out of this in the end. It's a lose-lose for everyone.

Multiverse Thanos where he tries to wipe out the 50% most destructive, but snaps himself out of existence first because even by trying he made himself the most destructive person in the universe.

Good human

I argue that agency is proportional to wealth. Money is power. Everyone has at least some amount of agency, but the ultra wealthy have exponentially more power to create change and affect the world.

Redistributing wealth from wealthy back to average people is also redistributing agency and responsibility back to average people.

You could use that reasoning to justify that anything is a free market. The government is free to pass laws, the people are free to overthrow it.

I think you have a really good point.

I'm anti-eugenics, I just want good sex education and free birth control and abortion. Educate people, and empower them with personal agency.

I think the genetics/natural-selection part of Idiocracy is wrong and in bad taste - ignorance and stupidity are far more correlated to economic insecurity, poverty, food deserts, underfunded schooling. We can and should fix these.

I suspect most people would ultimately agree with this over eugenics, even if they reference Idiocracy.

Being anti-American-imperialism is great, what's suspect is the apparent Soviet ultra-nationalism, which somehow extends to Russia, so the same people who say they are against imperialism and in favor of gay rights end up supporting an imperialist, colonialist, and insanely homophobic empire.

And yes, lots of countries in the West do lots of very bad things. I think the vague, broad, all-encompassing term of "the West" is about creating an out-group boogieman man for the in-group to identify itself against. And that's how you get people supporting a country that represents almost everything against their apparent values. Russia gets a pass for using homophobic conspiracy theories to justify a military invasion, because it's "against the West".

Michael Hudson's "Super Imperialism: The Economic Strategy of American Empire" is a good source.

Thank you, I'm grabbing an audiobook version to listen to, I am interested in learning more.

I definitely forgot all what I said, and I regret being that much of a dick. I did read the sources on Cuba and by that point I think I was banned, because I was trying to thank the person who posted it for me.

I think that if I'm dishing it out to people, I should be prepared to take it from them too. It's a bit late to go back, but for anyone who confronts me about it, I will humble myself and apologize for my remarks about the pronouns. And for what it's worth, I apologize to you for my pronoun comments. People deserve to feel safe in their gender identity,

that their pronouns “look like an alt-right satire of pronouns”

Not excusing what I said, but to explain, this is after several days of seeing a bunch of - completely new to me accounts - who happen to have double and neo pronoun sets, act a certain type of way. I might have never even really noticed the pronouns if it wasn't for their 4chan-esque behavior first. I very quickly began to mentally associate 4chan behavior to people who have double and neo pronoun sets.

And there were occasional good things - I learned that a common term for desktop theming had racist origins, and now I know better than to use that term. But even in that same thread there was another trying to race bait the very people who were trying to be better.

So there are hexbears trolling, race baiting, and defending Russia (which is a whole conversation) - regardless the end result is comments that would be identical to the alt-right. So I see alt-right clone comments coming from people with double sets of neo-pronouns, and I made a bad and wrong assumption.

The biggest mystery is still why hexbear seems collectively intent on making communists and progressives look so bad. Cuba offers many amazing examples of how progressive policies work well. Why choose to die on some alt-right hills, particularly when it comes to sexual harassment, fetishization of violence, race baiting, and Russia?

The shouldn't vote and let God take care of the election.

Comcast voted the most hated company in 2017 Comcast?

Proprietary and Closed Source software should never be trusted.

I don't see any reason Pope Francis should be put on a "kill list" (if it exists), but let's not forget, the Catholic Church is rampantly homophobic, transphobic, patriarchal, and fiercely protective of its child abusers and child molesters. And it's very wealthy. This is not a saintly organization.

Spherical earth is a popular opinion, flat earth is a diverse opinion.

If you study History, you will notice that it was Nazi Germany that was the aggressor sending it's military to conqueror other sovereign nations.

Sounds a bit familiar to today, a little country that brings with R and ends with Ussia.

Don't forget that Ukrainians are also being brainwashed into being gay

Krogoth - Total Annihilation Core Contingency

It has extremely durable armor, capable of withstanding seven nuclear missiles. Its main weapons are the Gauss cannons mounted on either arm, its secondary weapon is an Annihilator-type laser mounted on its head and its third weapons are two Starburst rocket launchers mounted on its back that are used as effective anti-air weapons. A single Krogoth can destroy a sizable ARM base if it isn't well defended.

An absolute beast of an RTS unit.

At 4k?? That's pretty damn good. Is that with FSR?
