This coming from people who still support Stalin in 2024
  • That's easy to say but when there are laws in place to protect the entrenched two-party system and they're choosing who you get to vote for, it should be plainly obvious that we're just being given an illusion of choice.

    Look at Trump's term, then at Biden's. America as a whole didn't really change. The talking heads sqwaked about different topics but ultimately we're no different as a country than were 8 years ago. It's a lot of finger pointing in the end but ultimately when one side gets in, the rich get tax breaks. When the opposite side gets in, the same rich tax the poor harder via increased prices at every register. Either way, their wealth increases and they get richer.

    The only way forward should be sweeping, drastic change which is often the platform both parties run on, yet neither are ever held accountable for failure to deliver on those promises. The fact that we live in a country as vast as the USA while somehow only having a choice between two different shit sandwiches is utterly ridiculous. I'm tired of eating shit!

  • PDF Piracy
  • cough, cough

    Whoops! It appears as though I've unintentionally dropped a link regarding meta data removal from PDF's..

    I suppose I'll just leave it there for any interested parties to do with it what they will. 😉

  • What species would you like to play as?
  • Personally I want to play as a rabbit-folk rogue who rides a giant sparrow. I think that would be epic and something I've wanted in a game for a very long time. My only gripe with what has been shown so far was with the takeoff animations for the aerial mounts. They feel very starship-like and not organic. What I mean by that is they sort of thust off the ground straight up, with little to no forward momentum. Then at the height of the jump, accelerate forward via a nonexistent propulsion system. That style of takeoff looks great on large, nonbiological ships but jarring when used for the flight of biological ones. I hope they address it before launch.

  • Starfield will be getting a bunch of fresh features including "new ways of traveling" next year
  • I bought a series x just for this game and I couldn't have been more disappointed with just how empty and soulless everything feels. It reminds me a bit of NMS at launch but unlike NMS, the dev team at Bethesda won't spend the next 10 years making the Starfield experience right for fans. I have no doubt they'll re-release monetized anniversary editions of essentially the same game with player made content over that span of time but don't think for a second they'll make the game what it should have been from the start.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I had never viewed this commercial before today. After reading the comments here, naturally I wanted to see it for myself and followed a link. I honestly didn't see anything other than standard sibling interactions. The early morning "dreamy-style" lighting (prime coffee drinking time) is the only thing that gave off a romantic atmosphere of any kind. From the comments here it's clear others see something between the two across but it feels like a bit of a reach to me.

  • Actual real political cartoon rule
  • The crux of the issue is that a good portion of the US has been convinced the only way back to "being American" is through use of their amassed arsenal. They're aging out. With fewer and fewer voters leaning their way they try and go dirty which didn't work, leaving them their only card left to play, "civil war". The issue none of them care to address is the fact that 90+% of their forces are on daily medication just to live. If war really broke out, access to those medications get severed. Another thing is it may seem enjoyable for them to feel like they're participating at a turning point in our history but war isn't something an individual can just stop doing because it's been a hard day and they need to unwind with a cold one.

    Mostly it feels like bluster but I've seen plenty of stupid transpire in my short lifetime to know anything can and does happen.

    God save us all.

  • I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe
  • Presently, Hulu's the worst I've experienced of the paid streaming apps I own. I recently just cancelled Netflix because they announced they were raising their prices yet again and with the recent account sharing crackdown, it was the last straw. My parents used my account far more than I ever did and they're not tech savvy folks. They get frustrated by tech of any kind. Once they couldn't access Netflix easily, I asked and they don't want an account of their own, it's just too much hassle. So screw the greedy shits! Now they get nothing.

  • I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe
  • It's probably some weird DRM where it needs to authenticate with their server in order to verify you're actually the one with an account. It's silly. The steps they take to try and stop piracy are what in fact drives most people to it.

    I started downloading shows from several streaming services I pay for simply because of the number of repeating ads they'll run during a show. A 24 min runtime gets extended to 45 minutes for all the ads, which I was sitting through for months but when they only have two different ads on loop, WTF!? A man can only take so much!
