I mean… bernies doing it. Dude is like 80 and is absolutely idolised by the younger generation and regular middle and lower class people because he seems to actually practice what he preaches and is genuinely interested in what’s good for people. Most politicians to me just give the impression of seeking politics to enrich themselves and clasping onto power to avoid losing that even when their senile and completely incapable of fulfilling their role.

Does Japan not have… like… an anti monopoly board. This is an insane merger to even consider. It would make an entity so large it could dominate multiple media industries.

Man. It’s so annoying how billionaires are seen as some sorta milestone instead of a painful reminder of weak government letting individuals rampantly accrue more wealth than anyone should have. And no one cares to address the issues at any scale because the rich literally control the world :/.

And the fact they said we’d have this to you by EOY. Absolute BS. Still no updated release date.

I agree the split in half angle was horribly handled but the movie wasn’t totally ruined. ::: spoiler Narratively across the spider-verse was gwens story. It started with her and ended with her and miles was the backdrop for much of what happened spoiler ::: . I’ve seen the movie 3 times and I still love it. I don’t think the take away is movies should be shorter because it had so much amazing visuals and story telling and really ramped up the expectations for the next one. The take away is don’t lie to your audience pretending it’s a single movie. Also don’t lie and say the next one is coming out in 8 months, it’s been 2 years lol. They were never gonna make that deadline.

Kinda weird to instate this as an advisory body instead of just making self-management of investments for anyone in Congress illegal. Everyone in finance has to do that because of the clear conflict of interest. The people making the laws and financial regulations seemingly do not because their above it (even tho their very clearly enriching themselves).

Apple quietly introduced code into iOS 18.1 which reboots the device if it has not been unlocked for a period of time, reverting it to a state which improves the security of iPhones overall and is making it harder for police to break into the devices, according to multiple iPhone security experts

Click bait title as always. So yes, your iPhone is mysteriously rebooting. I guess it just isn’t that big of a mystery anymore.

That was my point. Most countries that try to become communist start off as soviet and then collapse into totalitarian dystopias because they consolidate too much power into the state and don’t have enough safeguards to prevent overreach. Russia did the same after the revolution. Enacting democratic votes and then ignoring them because communism wasn’t popular for the masses. It’s a fundamental problem.

zero cost to them

I would imagine it would reveal how sh*tty the ubisoft code bases are and has a reputation cost XD. But if it’s that big of a risk then they should keep the servers running indefinitely.

I mean, that’s basically all AAA games in 2024. Even songs PC ports which historically avoided DRM and network requirements is starting to mandate PSN accounts. I 100% would prefer to be able to play offline, more often than not it’s unwanted telemetry or BS bloat but that isn’t something we as users can enforce.

If you want the government to control the price of food, then you should probably move to a communist nation.

Don’t threaten me with a good time. /s

JK. The US being the US they’d immediately turn into north Korea before adopting real communist policies.

Tbf most schools don’t. Mine in the UK didn’t either. Critical thinking isn’t something a curriculum can teach you, it’s something you need to pick up yourself and adapt from all the other things you’re taught. School can definitely help you develop those skills tho although I think this is just another reflection of how badly the US invests in education. That and the rampant misinformation and propaganda all over the place that seems to teach people to only trust what reaffirms their own beliefs. Society is f*cked until we actually take a long hard look at where we are, why, and where we should be.

Trump doesn’t fit in with republicans because he’s objectively insane and will disregard any and all rules and conventions to get what he wants.

AOC doesn’t fit in with Democrats because she’s not from a rich family, seems to have actually had a minimum wage job and seems to want to actually improve the middle and lower classes lives instead of submit to corporations and collectively disregard what the voter base actually wants.

It is so depressing people see both of these as equivalently important.

And the rest of the world would have to find alternative currencies for trade. I expect China would be pretty happy over this.

Rapist, terrorist, moron. The trifecta. We’re literally living in the worst timeline :/.

Explains why control panel and settings are both still a thing like a decade after they said they’d be removing the former.

And? It’s been 4 years and a lot of factors have changed. If kamala didn’t engage with those 20 mil who felt Biden made promises he didn’t deliver and kamala has no plans to change anything then that could explain it. Blaming this purely on gender without any justification is just careless. Although I’m pretty sure the dems will see this as “women can’t win” rather than “we’re deeply out of touch and need real reform”.

I think education is a factor here as well. People collectively seemed to have started just taking any sources word as objective truth with no rationalisation or justification. The fact we now have google forcing ai answers onto people that are factually wrong or unreliable and most just don’t question it is emblematic of the problem. People lack critical thinking now.

Tbf, Democrats are centrist not left. It’s just us politics collectively is so right leaning you folks don’t have a real representative left leaning 3rd party. A real left party would institute policies to give everyone access to bread (so long as it isn’t in short supply). It’s absurd a country as big and rich as the US has such poor social support programs.

Like he did last time. We’re basically expecting trump to be predictable which he 100% is. What wasn’t predictable at least IMO is that he’d still not be in jail by the time the election happens.
