  • Hot take: No console with significant connectivity requirements can ever be retro. That’s pretty much everything in the last twenty years.

  • I was about to post this as a rant under this article, which was shared here some time ago and which doesn't sound conservative at all. The passage that was the drop for me was:

    We humans are all subject to a cognitive dynamic known as belief polarization. This is the tendency for individuals to adopt more extreme perspectives as a result of their interactions with like-minded peers.

    But this had been a pet peeve of mine for a while so it was a drop that spilled the glass moment and I felt like addressing this in particular. So yes you're right that this is an anti critique. I think what revolts me is that this sounds like a direct rebuttal against solidarity and yet another thing pushing for even more individualism and ultimately loneliness.

  • Meh. You can make numbers say anything you want. And any metric ceases being useful once it's known. All in all these lines tell such a partial story as to be useless and I'm immensely suspicious of any manager that enjoys reading in tea leaves.

  • The root issue is the belief that your constructed space of similiar world views is representative of truth, rather than bias.

    I'm not much of a relativist to be honest. In fact I feel your statement about the root cause of echo chambers is broad to the point of swallowing itself. It's important to differentiate opinion from fact (I'm not expecting everyone to agree with me about black licorice being delicious, or about every public policy) but I disagree that all worldviews are mostly bias. If you really think it's all bias, how can you even state that as fact? Do you really have that much distance with your own worldview?

  • OK but do they go beep boop, or brrr, or pfffh, or eeeiiigh?

  • See I think you're onto something. Playing music you consider abhorrent during a visit may actually increase the likelihood of ending up with a neighbor that enjoys said music. You either need to discover something universally repugnent or spy on the visitors and make a quick judgment call based on their appearance on what would repulse them better. Anyways fast tempo baby shark.

  • The only one I recognize is Putin. Who are the others? Which bloody money sponsored sporting event was that?

    EDIT: Saudi dude be Mohammed bin Salman, ruler of Saudi Arabia.

  • Is the plushie big or small... or the banana big or small or... the keyboard big or small? Gah! Fuck that reddit banana joke can’t we do "30 centimetres ruler for scale" or something on the Fediverse?! I’ll even take inches at this point. /rant (Not mad at you OP, I know this is convention at this point. Hug that plushie for me.)

  • Found it, it’s NBC. But really google "luigi among us": the news are seriously trying to drum up the DANGERS OF VIDEO GAME VIOLENCE again based on Luigi Mangione playing Among Us.

  • Every single article I've found states the snitch is an employee. Where have you seen it being said it's actually a customer?
