Why does Stalin "rule"? This is a question from a fellow "leftist."

Either ignorant, or you're just a really bad person. Just such a stupid fucking thing to say. Take a step back from the Internet and read a book. Saying "Stalin rules ✊" doesn't make you cool, it just makes you look like an idiot.

Stalin was a paranoid, murderous dictator responsible for the unnecessary deaths of countless millions of people. Or does it not count because he didn't murder them himself?

Can't wait to hear about how the holomodor wasn't his fault...

The Communist Manifesto was basically a pamphlet written to be understood by mostly uneducated workers... There's not much reason to have never read it at this point, regardless of personal politics.

We're not talking Atlas Shrugged or Das Kapital. It's like 30 pages or something.

Wait is CDRomance also under threat? Ugh

There are also (somewhat hidden) "hard modes" where the only indicator that you're in a different mode is that the badge number next to the uBlock icon changes color.

You can have it block all third party scripts by default for every website, or even go all out and basically use it like noscript. Pretty much breaks every individual website though but you can choose individually what to let through and save it based on domain (I believe) so you really only need to do it once.

I really hope this isn't shit.

By "original", I assume they mean Yakuza [Kiwami] 1 not Yakuza 0?

That's why we went from an app with incredible HBO shows and movies, to Max which is full of Discovery channel "reality" TV garbage.

Still happens.

Animal Well was coded by one guy, and it was ~35mb on release (I think it's above 100 at this point after a few updates, but still). The game is massive and pretty complex. And it's the size of an SNES ROM.

Dwarf Fortress has to be one of the most complex simulations ever created, developed by two brothers and given out for free for several decades. The game, prior to adding actual graphics, DF was ~100mb and the Steam version is still remarkably compact.

I am consistently amazed by people's ingenuity with this stuff.

Christians that aren't sociopaths, who actually read the Bible (aka, actually comprehend it), typically don't stay Christian very long.

Or not cutting the hair around your temples, or wearing clothing with mixed fabric or, I dunno, eating shrimp.

mean, so long as you define "hating women" to mean "opposing abortion"

I do. Next question.

These people are fascists. They would not be fascists if they ever believed for a moment that they wouldn't be part of the "in" group.

Of course anyone who knows anything about history knows how foolish this is.

Am I the only one rabid for a sequel to Sekiro?

Lol every time.

Then you try to pause it before realizing you can't and now you're definitely fucking dead. Have fun trying to remember how you got there.

Again, only one data point but you basically just described me exactly

I can only speak for myself, but me getting a Steam Deck was step one in the process where eventually, about a year or so ago, I switched to Linux on my laptop, and I don't have a single regret.

I will never use Windows again when it's my choice.

Ha! Say what you will about Obama, the man has a sense of humor.

True, if the Israeli government has shown us anything, all they really want is peace, right? Not the land. Not complete control of the people in an open-air prison. They'll just stop all that if they, "no longer feel threatened."

You cannot be this naive.

They could have claimed that a dozen or so years ago, yet for some reason they kept terrorizing Gazans while being almost entirely immune to any type of "conventional" (and proportionate.... Which lol because this isn't a word the Israeli government is familiar with) response. Also even "conventional" is a stretch given the apartheid reality makes it nearly impossible for Palestinians to even formulate a "proper" response.

It's almost like 10/7 was out of complete desperation for an untenable situation where these people see there friends and family murdered by the IDF for no reason, or have family in The West Bank where settlers from New Jersey who have never been out of the US are literally storming Palestinian villages with AR-15s in the middle of the night and forcing them to leave so they can literally steal their property.

I am by no means justifying the events of 10/7, just like I would never justify the events of 9/11. But I would be ignorant and foolish not to learn anything from the event about how decades of policy like this creates terrorists and they will fight back when you corner them for literal decades.

Anyone old enough to remember 9/11 and didn't just read Bin Laden's "manifesto" or whatever you want to call it last year, we remember when it happened and, to many of us it make complete sense. Shit, Obama almost lost in 08 because he was seen with some black preacher once or twice who had a recording of an old sermon where he (correctly) said 9/11 was our "chickens coming home to roost".

Oh, all the time when it involves things that aren't centered around him. In those cases he will usually take on the opinion of the last person that he spoke to (that knew how to butter him up first)..

Oh yeah nothing bad could ever happen from effectively removing an entire section of the population from certain parts of the Internet completely.

I can't imagine that ever going badly.
