  • It's going to be this way until we figure out a better way to cultivate empathy at a huge scale. Between technological isolation, increasing scarcity, and the divide-and-conquer tactics of the power players in our society, we seem to be going the wrong direction fast. We'll continue to collectively stick the penny in the light socket until we are able to appreciate the experiences of other people enough to learn something from them.

  • Their kids are their property. But your kids are state property and have no agency compared to whatever quack theories the right's favourite podcasters and youtube shouty men and Facebook meme accounts have been fixated on this week.

  • Used mine every day until that phone's screen stopped responding and at the time none of the otherwise decent phones with decent prices had a jack. Headphone jack will remain a consideration in my next phone purchase once this one dies.

  • What gets defined as the "news industry" and who gets to define it? We already have too much foreign owned corporate news media in this country so how much of that money will just go right into the hands of the propagandists to tip the scales further in their favour?

  • Apparently that's happening on the Associated Press website as well. Websites relying on ad dollars will be in trouble when having a strong blocker has become basic security. Can't even check the news without your browser getting hijacked with scams

  • And particularly chilling: they have the police on their side. When the maggots all show up at your neighborhood or place of work to vandalize and harass and assault, the cops will arrive late and they will be turned to face against you

  • Cons are safe because it isn't their counterparts that are sending the death threats and driving to sensitive locations with guns. They're are also geopolitically buddy buddy with assassin-happy aggressors like Modi and Putin so no fear there.

  • I don't think it's a bad game at all. But the Bethesda formula is definitely showing its age and the muted tone and presentation of Starfield, compared to Elder Scrolls and Fallout, accentuates this. I have like a dozen other games vying for my attention and a huge backlog of other titles, and I've been struggling to find motivation to play Starfield as a result. If I'd paid CDN$90 for the privilege I'd probably feel more strongly about it either way.
