This. It’s not enough to just break up or dissolve the companies. The people who profited and ran the company must see prison time for shit like this or it will just keep happening.

Go back to 4chan.

Calling women femmes is about the most cringe inducing way to admit you’re a misogynist there is.

Lol yeah, that’s rough, those big blinds really escalate towards the end.

I knew this one wasn’t going anywhere, was just surprised it got as far as it did. I got very lucky with straights and very unlucky with jokers.

I’ve had one run earlier on, maybe around green or black that had Bull, cloud 9, rocket, blueprint and hologram. I don’t remember what ante it got up to, but I think it was around 3mil per hand, so if I can ever pull that setup again I’ve got a shot on plasma.

Nah, that -$ is from whatever boss takes a dollar per card played, I am blanking on the name. Every round was using every discard and hand to just barely squeak by so that boss sent me down to -20

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t there a pause feature in most souls-like games? Or is this because its the boss battles that take up the most time and pausing in those is a death sentence?

Sorry if this is a newby question, I don’t play souls-like games. I’ve tried, they just are not for me.

THIS. 1000% THIS!

I’ve been having so much fun lately using shit like this to add a little spice to the games I’ve been playing.

Now, I’m a complete sucker for overpowered MC energy in any media I consume. So it makes sense that getting to personally act out that power fantasy appeals to me. As with most art/entertainment, not everyone will get the same enjoyment out of doing this that I do. But that’s ok! It’s why I love single player games, those that want to have the vanilla experience and work within the rules can, and those that want to cheese the system and goof around can too, and no one is worse off for it!

I should clarify that my experience is based on my interactions with people in the rural-ish Midwest.

I do try very hard to not make those assumptions when meeting someone new, as I know how it feels to be a progressive trapped in a dark red area of a (in my case) blue state.

Do what you need to do to survive. Hopefully one day this shit will get better and we can force the bigots and edge lords to keep that shit to themselves or be forced into social exile.

In my experience, there are very few people who actually “don’t follow politics”.

In most cases, once I have convinced a person that I truly won’t judge them for their politics (I do, but I keep it to myself unless I think I can actually impact their way of thinking), they are usually happy to disclose their preferences and biases, which is usually plenty to determine their political leanings.

In all but a few cases, they “don’t follow politics” because they have problematic or hypocritical politics and don’t want to explain themselves.

A close-ish friend of the family is employed in data center design for in Social Media, and later Google. He is very progressive and aware of the issues that face lgbtq people in today’s age. Yet, he is completely incapable of accepting that their high paying job is contributing to the degradation of the world at large.

Long story short, if people’s livelihood is tied to fascism, they will make whatever excuses they need to to continue benefitting from that system.

I will never not be suspicious of the ultra wealthy, but just statistically there has to be a few truly compassionate billionaires.

I hope Pritzker is one of those, he seems like he might be, so I’m willing to let him cook and see what he does next.

You can’t have large scale modern communication without an interconnected system for computers to talk to each other. That’s all “the internet” is. So many things in the modern world require that level of information infrastructure, everything from banking to the way scientists share data to do research.

Would humanity go extinct without it? No, of course not.

Would there be massive systemic collapse of global trade and economies resulting in million of lives lost? Yes.

So “the internet” is very much necessary at the moment. Now if you’re talking about social media etc when you say internet… that’s a whole different conversation.

Until they stop the multiple genocides they are committing. This is bad, but it doesn’t even cast a shadow next to the thousands and thousands of children they have murdered…

Here’s that shovel you requested, you want me to help you dig?

Love how on the page for this article taking about how an AI system fucked up so bad there is a 100m lawsuit over it… there are AI ads offering to sumerize the article…

Also, I can’t lie, I feel no fucking sympathy for the massively wealthy elites that own this 100+ franchise company. If they hired their own drivers and payed their employees well I’d be singing a different tune but fuck these capitalist pigs. I hope they sue each other into oblivion.

I’m rocking a 14 year old CPU (3570k), 16gb of DDR3 and a gtx1070 (non-ti).

I was so god damn stoked to build a new machine this year, only to watch first ddr5 then ddr4 soar our of my price range…

Now even the used stuff around me is jumping in price, with mobo cpu ram deals getting scooped up only for the ram to pop back up at twice the price the next day.

Fuck AI.
