Oscars and Grammys are so behind the times, just advertisers of the pop sectors of their respective industries.

Sooooo, are Nolan and Villeneuve the only two directors left in Hollywood? Because I'm getting that impression with the quality of output in the last several years.

The entirety of the internet is unusable without ad blockers.

Team 17? Haven't heard that name in a while.

When the fuck has economic disincentive ever been a priority for civil courts? Large corporations do billions of dollars of damage on a regular basis, and get fined for millions.

Fascism thrives when we self-isolate and drive ourselves and each other apart

Too late. We do that to ourselves every election.

Meanwhile, our enemies have no problem voting in unison.

Trump just got re-elected. Russia won't face shit.

Tolerance of intolerance breeds intolerance. It’s well past time to be ‘nice’ to Nazi Fascist fucks. No tolerance for bigots.

This is not the time to be nice. It's not even the time to be angry.

Either we do something drastic that would completely take us out of our comfortable chairs and houses, or we watch as democracy and the rule of law gets dismantled, piece-by-piece.

This whole headline stinks of trickle-down economics.

I played Dark Souls for 80 hours before I thought it was crap. Shit graphics (on the Xbox 360), shit difficulty, no story, thought the game was just one big trollface, tempting you with ideas that might pan out, but don't. I kept playing because everybody else thought it was the best game ever, and convinced myself that it was like other RPGs, where if you grinded enough to get the right gear, you could tame the difficulty. It didn't. Difficulty for older areas was better, but new area difficulty was still shit.

That's not true. The cynicism gave us critical thinking skills to navigate through the bullshit we live with on the internet now. If anything, Millennials and Zoomers are more corporate friendly than ever, consuming whatever the doomscrollers tell them to.

Microsoft is ruining Windows. It just keeps getting worse. Whether it be their insistence on AI and cloud garbage, or just a general sense of incompetence, I can’t help but feel like the operating system has seen better days.

Normally I wouldn’t care too much, big tech ruins another thing, whatever.

But the problem is Microsoft has such a dominant market share that you can’t really escape them.

I guess unless you use a Mac or something I don’t know.
