“This is an animalistic society that sanctifies death.”

The projection is strong with this fascist bitch.

That’s literally American censorship and you can see the same pattern on all large American social media platforms. Youtube has the gamer to fascist pipeline set up with their recommendation system. Facebook recently did an “about face” which was really just making official their love of fascism. Twitter… is twitter. The capitalist class has always been fine with fascism and the platforms they own reflect that. Language is policed more than fascist rhetoric because advertisers don’t like the language.

Oh, well that makes it completely useless then.

Gamers back then were crying about it being unoptimized back then too. There is no care about what the game accomplishes, only that it has to run perfectly smooth on their hardware.

It helps Call of Duty 4 in that their levels were a lot more restricted and didn’t have all the physics and AI calculations that Crysis had to do. Even then, Crysis had better graphics and more advanced effects.

Harsh but true. The downvoters aren’t interested in reading the reality of the situation, and it does suck to see entire countries being treated as expendable pawns, but that’s just how the game of global politics is played.

There is a reason why the west is not authorizing Ukraine to strike more aggressively deep within Russia even when Ukraine put in the hard work and made the sacrifice to counter the invasion.

My reference point is based on US prices for regular eggs, probably produced under those horrible conditions. I would pay more for eggs from chickens raised under better conditions, but it’s hard to tell if it’s actually the case or if it’s just marketing BS because of all the loopholes that companies can exploit to qualify while still providing poor conditions.

That’s okay, I can wait while the greedy middlemen jerk each other off over the flimsy excuse of avian flu. I refuse to pay over $2/dozen on eggs and I’m being generous with that limit. Would be interesting to understand why the value line of this chart rocketed up so hard while production didn’t drop anywhere close to such a dramatic degree:

I guess it depends on the local job market and the type of company. I saw free coffee at the smaller companies around here, but the larger companies didn’t offer it (at least not by the time I started working). It blows my mind that they’d cheap out on coffee when it’s a productivity booster. Well, if they want to be petty with saving a buck, so can I. I’ll be catching up on sleep at the office.

You get free coffee? We have to buy our own machine and run a “coffee club” to pitch in for ongoing costs. I opt to instead nod off at my desk. I don’t even care that it’s an open office and that people can see me.

That’s like employers holding someone hostage and then claiming any harm that comes to them is your fault.

Anything is more affordable than nvidia’s jacked up prices. The key will be whether it provides enough performance for the difference in price to be worth it. I’m not interested in paying about half a thousand dollars for a single part either way.

Right, it’s assuming he keeps that particular promise, but it was a proposal so seemingly popular that Harris’s team adopted a version of it but with restrictions on what kind of tips would be exempt (I think it was restricted to waitstaff or something along those lines). Trump’s version is so much more open to abuse that it could be used as a sort of wink wink nudge nudge way to avoid taxes if you simply agreed to pay in part as a “tip”. Given the popularity among those who rely on tips to live and also the rich who can find ways to use it intentionally to avoid taxes, I feel like it’s not impossible that Trump would actually go through with it.

Wasn’t trump talking about making tips tax-free? It’s only going to make the problem a lot worse. Maybe the problem getting so bad will reach a breaking point and we’re seeing some of the effects of this aggressive push to shove tipping everywhere now.

Like where you wrote as if people were claiming trump would be an improvement?

You can’t teach those who don’t want to learn.

You can stop putting words in my mouth, thank you very much.

Did you not just post this?:

“reee i won’t vote for harris because gaza genocide!!1!1” users on lemmy suspiciously silent now

So you can excuse genocide because the other guy also supports it?

If we cannot count on democrats to stand against genocide, which should be the easiest thing to be against, then what makes you think democrats would stand for the people in other ways that conflict with what those in power want?

The only realistic option halting the genocide was putting pressure on the democrats and the only way to apply pressure to a politician for the non-rich is by threatening to withhold a vote for them.

If politicians refuse to listen to voters during an election, which is a most critical time, then clearly they will refuse to listen to voters outside of an election where you can’t even threaten to vote them out.
