I feel like “using them responsibly” includes not using them in class

Also never heard of it, but if it was exclusive to china that explains why.

Any word on the gameplay? Main line borderlands games are kind of mediocre, so I don’t imagine an MMO would be better.

I do wonder how all the “violence is never the answer” folks will go if it comes to that. I think a lot of them would side with ICE, sadly.

Personally, I won’t be upset if a would-be nazi meets an abrupt end to their career.

Hmmm I see your point. I guess I’ll just keep giving “recommend / don’t recommend” reviews and writing the details with words.

It’s too bad steam doesn’t have a “mixed” review option.

Like Fallout4. It’s terrible. Bad story. bad gameplay. Buggy. But I still sometimes mod it the fuck up and play anyway, because I want a kind of stupid stealth shooter or to stomp around in power armor. So I don’t really recommend it, but you could do worse.

I have a family member that’s similar - they get really mad at inconsequential changes on the computer. But they also refuse to learn anything, so they’re just mad all the time. They also treat their phone like a capricious deity- they’re afraid to touch anything.

On the other hand, I have another family member that spends a lot of his time tinkering with linux. Years ago I got fed up fixing his windows machine I slapped xubuntu on his machine, and he took to it. He’s done several updates and fresh installs since.

Both of them are retired, so it’s not like they’re hurting for free time.

I feel like that’s long been a trend- instead of trying to lift users up and educate them, let’s just give up and hide things.

This supports what I read elsewhere about the best way to kill someone and get away with it is to hit them with your car. Don’t like your neighbor? Boss being a prick? Wait for them to be out for a bike ride and “bump” them. System’s fucked.

Careful! The moderators here don’t like that kind of talk.

Thank you, thank you. Unfortunately, the moderation team seems to take a dim view. I guess they’d prefer we only express anger in civil, inoffensive, manners.

Not as violent as what the far-right want to do to everyone else!

Verdi and Rey voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election, saying they supported his pledge to bring order to the southern border and crack down on immigrants without legal status.

Oh so they wanted cruelty for other people. Fuck them.

There was recently a story of someone whose kid died of measles, but they were still anti-vax in the interviews afterwards.

There are two main ways people change their mind. One is in-group pressure. If your friends and trusted people are telling you a thing, you’ll probably believe it. None of us are immune to this. Who you consider part of your in-group varies- some people fall for celebrity endorsements more than others, or view bad sources like Fox News as trustworthy.

The other thing that can change people’s minds is trauma. If you’ve been an anti-climate-change guy and your house gets destroyed by a freak super hurricane, you might reevaluate. Maybe. Of if a big KKK guy gets hit by a car and left a dead, and a black guy saves your life, they might reevaluate.

But there’s no guarantee.

I really want people to roll up on the factory, shoot the management, and then shut it down.

This shit is a crime against the environment and humanity.

Not enough political will from the masses. Too busy being mad about immigrants and trans people.

Also the police are the enthusiastic bootlickers of capital, and people don’t want to get shot at after marching into a CEO’s office and throwing him out the 20th story window.

On the one hand: Good. Google is a monopoly and they suck, too.

On the other, I don’t trust the trump administration to do anything correctly. They’ll probably try to give google to Musk or something.

It’s frustrating that rich scumbags just get to live a rich life. Where’s the justice in that? Saint Luigi deliver us from assholes like Huffman.

I’m pretty sure Trump could eat maga’s babies in front of them and they’d still vote for him.

Like that anti-vaxxer lady whose kid died of measles and is still anti-vax.

No material effects will change them. Their identity and fragile ego is wrapped up in this.

We can’t fix it but we could probably fix Miller so he can’t hurt anyone ever again.
