We all do, Joe. That doesn’t really change anything.

Event happens.

Internet floods with conspiracies about Event.

News reports that there are conspiracies about Event.

Rinse and repeat. “Event” can be virtually anything of public note.

The problem with that isn’t Bernie. The problem is Trump. Bernie splitting the Dem vote is a more sure-fire way to get Trump than Biden running as it is.

Remember when a huge coalition of people wanted RBG to retire? And then she didn’t, and those people took it as courage or some such other virtue?

some people here on Lemmy get upset at any mention of Ranked Choice Voting and respond that, in their opinion, it’s not perfect

To those people, I say: do not let perfection be the enemy of progress.

Also, it’s absurd, because it’s clearly better than what we have now. I suspect many of those people are trolls.

I’d love to see parents flabbergasted by their children refusing the shellfish daddy worked hard to buy, and making sure their clothes don’t use mixed fabrics.

It’s almost like all these CEOs and MBAs are just shooting in the dark because of the $$$ in their eyes, but the fact remains that the market is no longer responding favorably to their absolute need for year-over-year growth.

Much love for these teachers. They are not paid nearly enough. I hate the corporate pizza party, but not the public school one.

Edit: I wonder if the difference in financial burden between a corporate pizza party and a public school one is a good metric

I am hopeful for this. Playing it on day one, I reported a garbage management bug on the official forum: only to be told it was “by design”, and yet still game-breaking.

The performance woes got all the press, but the game was fundamentally broken. It was nearly impossible to lose. Too many services for a small city? Here’s free “government subsidies” that you also can’t shut off when your city is successful. Don’t have garbage service? No problem, a neighboring city you have no control over is gonna handle your trash – for free.

I hope this is finally a step in the right direction, but I’ll never understand why it took a year to listen to day 1 issues. If the game had been released Early Access the response would have been better all around. Performance issues need to take second place: if the game isn’t fun, I don’t care how it performs.

Tell me you’ve never tried it without telling me you’ve never tried it.

Have you tried emulating it while interfacing with some ancient ISA card?

Sony’s version of the classic Sega “Genesis does what Nintendon’t”

I’d rather not, but I know this is a thing, albeit not for me.

My state does not recognize it.

Stop giving stupid people air time.

Who at all did not see this coming? At this point we as a country just waste resources so the people in the back can push their little christofascist agendas.

I’m sure inflation has affected that too

I was married, later divorced, and am now in a position where I’ve been in a committed relationship for more than 10 years, but we aren’t married.

The benefits are clear and pushed onto us: I can’t share health care with my partner if we aren’t married. The system is rigged to make people in relationships eventually get married.

With other industries, owning 5, 10, 15 other sites might be indicative of a monopoly. But there is a metric fuckton of porn online.

Edit: pardon me, a *metric fucktonne

Can you define what part of PornHub owning a lot of other porn sites makes them a monopoly? Part of being a monopoly is being anticompetitive. What has PornHub done in terms of lobbying or other anticompetitive practices which makes it more difficult for a new company sharing porn to take hold? Because there is a ton of porn online which is unrelated to PornHub.

I’m all for calling out monopolies, but I legit don’t see one here. I’m open to being wrong.

I don’t believe that the thing about actresses getting work after 22 is reliant on PornHub. Porn has worked that way for 50+ years my dude.
