  • It's a bigger issue of so few platforms for people to use and reach an audience.

    But it all comes down to corporations are causing people to unnecessarily censor themselves. It's a weird thing where corporations have a power they shouldn't to control what people are saying.

    I somewhat understand content creators who make money. But I don't understand the people who comment and don't make money off of it censoring themselves so a company can make more ad revenue.

  • advanced reasoning

    If it's so advanced, it should be able to reason out that all human knowledge is standing in the shoulders of others and how errors have prompted us to explore other areas and learn things we never would have otherwise.

  • Baseball. No sponsorships on uniforms.

    I guess we could extend that to most sports. I know soccer is much more lax in that regard.

    All professional teams that are televised must be broadcast free of charge to their local area. No local blackout restrictions. (Fuck you, Marquee Sports. Put the Cubs back on WGN.)

    Beer must be under $10, in stadiums. It's $16 for even shitty domestic beer at Wrigley. It's damn robbery.

  • One of the rallying cries of the Republican party that persuaded so many over the decades has always been fiscal responsibility and tax cuts. They have spent decades persuading voters that paying taxes is a terrible thing. They have claimed that bureaucracy is slow and wasteful. That the taxes people paid have been misappropriated. They have corrupted one of the most important things that a citizen can do for its nation. Pay taxes.

    Paying taxes should be seen as a prideful act. This small action provides us with innumerable benefits that every single one of us benefits from.

    The voting public has been lied to in an attempt to convince them they don't receive anything from the taxes they pay. This, as most people should recognize, is a falsehood. From the roads we drive on, the water we drink, and the sewage that gets washed away to the security net that allows millions of Americans to retire every year. Taxes are the foundation that has allowed us to become the strong and comfortable nation that we are.

    Taxes are the reason we have such a strong military that many Republicans idolize (while many others denounce.) Taxes are the reason we almost every child in this country has at least a cursory education. Taxes are the reason so many can pursue the careers that keep us safe and healthy, like every single doctor, nurse, and everyone else that helps and support them. Taxes are the reason your community has playgrounds for your children. Taxes are the reason so many farmers even have an income at all.

  • It also somewhat helped curb alts. You couldn't just have an alt that did a thing in day.

    But the isk and resource faucets were a problem from day one. It's a resource hoarding game and it became too safe.

    That era to me was also filled with clever scams and IMO as CCP made it safer for people it took a lot of magic out of the game. You used to have to be smart and attentive to play. Now it throws warnings at you for all sorts of things. Or got rid of some very fun mechanics (like pos bowling and lofty wars)

    I also used to love spending 2m to war dec a corp. I would have dozens of wars going. And it wasn't like small corps. It was fun to war dec all the big alliances at once with your little 5 man corp.

  • When I got a new phone, immich was weird about the photos that came over when I transferred my phone data. After I confirmed they were all backed up (in like 3 places) I just nuked the copies pictures and videos from my phone.

  • Military recruitment is actually really insidious. They actively target low income areas with the promise of paying for college. They find people who they can convince, maybe rightly so, that they have no other option if they want to leave their impoverished life. People who live in a place where there are no jobs. Kids who are living in houses that struggle to put food on the table.

    Whether it's right or wrong. A lot of those soldiers may genuinely feel like they had no other choice but to sign up.

    A lot of these soldiers are going to be late teens and early 20s. Essentially kids.
