Might be time for Ford to get in on 2FA.

Ugh. So glad I don’t use FB. It’s already so enshittified and only getting worse.

Good.

Console exclusivity was always a super shitty idea.

There are always extra steps with piracy.

But it’s worth it.

It could happen, but if it does, it’ll be decades down the line. Gaben has surrounded himself with true believers on purpose, in part to prevent that scenario.

I have a reminder to check it on my Proton calendar every week, haha.

That’s literally the only reason I have Epic on my PC.

Free games every week.

Neverwinter Nights, probably 10k plus hours over the last 22 years, and Dead by Daylight (1666 hours).

Great games, both. I DM a weekly campaign on Neverwinter Nights.

Well… my wallet is certainly hurting after the latest $0 price increase on my $0 Mastodon subscription.

(kidding, in fact, I actually donate monthly to my instance.)

Thank you for the brilliant platitudes, ILikeBoobies.

It’s ironic, yes, but not unexpected.

For the 99% that always vote party over country, any opinion they hold is subject to political convenience. It really is a shame though that no one seems to have learned from the wars of the past 40 years. Every single time we’re able to look back on them and see very clearly that we were lied to and the war industry and politicians benefited handsomely.

People keep making that argument, that it’s only older military ordnance being sent to these countries.

I think that’s going to age about as well as the stories about Saddam having nukes, which everyone else claimed authoritatively at one point, using their preferred billionaire-owned news media source as gospel.

BUT, I appreciate that you’re willing to have a discussion in good faith, unlike most on this thread. Thank you.

No, friend.

The government should be giving everyone health care.

Look at Canada and Mexico. Combined they spends a little over $30 billion a year on their military. Both have universal health care. Here in the US we spend well over two trillion a year on war, and if you have an injury or illness, you will go bankrupt.

Doesn’t matter what China does if you’re out on the street, because SCOTUS just paved the way for homelessness to be criminalized.

Military aid isn’t just sending money. It can include weapons, equipment, training, or other support to help a country defend itself

Not unlike how corporate donors buy thousands of Trump’s books, or stays at his hotels, or whatever other bribe they render to get him to take their phone calls. In short, legalized bribery.

Works the same way with war profiteers. All those bombs aren’t free, and they are 100% marked up.

My entire life I’ve watched the US spend like drunken sailors to wage war around the world. I’m going to remind the chickenhawks that our people are dying while these boondoggles take place, because apparently your preferred news program, the one trying to manufacture your consent, certainly won’t.

It’s so weird.

Trump is only slightly less pro-war than Bush/Obama/Biden, but the thing is, when he pulls the military from a war he almost certainly does it for the wrong reasons.

I’m anti-war myself, so for me, it’s a win. Obama had us at war in seven countries (Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, and Libya) and the US military is still active in most of them. Personally, I think it’s more of a business move than a political one. Lots of war profiteers spent a lot of money on Biden and Harris’ campaigns, and they expect a return on that investment while he still has the power to give it.
