I'm not saying you can prevent cheating forever. However: The impact AI is having on cheating and on people's mental faculties is substantially worse than the era of someone asking Billy for their answers over the party line. It feels disingenuous to conflate the two

Isn't Sony's ownership of distribution exactly what would give them control over that? Counter point: From Soft has released every other title but Demon's Souls and Bloodborne to PC. So why would they hold it up? They don't get Sony PlayStation Console commissions

Sony, for some reason: Naw, we don't want more money

Feel like it's just a matter of time until a Liberal candidate complains that Trump doesn't even have a Hugo Boss hookup; really just to drive home that they have no issue with fascism as long as it looks fashionable

Capitalism: "A ~4.7% unemployment rate is necessary to keep wages down to 'prevent inflation'." Also Capitalism: "The homeless are to blame for being homeless."

Oh yeah, hierarchy is huge for that mentality. That's why they are suspicious, or even hostile, towards social services. Getting help means you'll be on an imaginary rung that you didn't "earn". PLUS those running the service must be getting some advantage because why else would they help?
OldWhovian (@oldwhovian.bsky.social) reply parent
I always question the degree of projection that causes this kind of cognitive dissonance. Cultural environment absolutely plays a huge part but at a certain point there's gotta be a degree of them wanting to do the Bad Thing and just taking it out on those they view as culturally inferior
OldWhovian (@oldwhovian.bsky.social) reply parent
The additional thing that really gets me: They cannot/will not comprehend the concept of "Systemic." Mortality is not only innate but also solely individual, which is why they hate regulatory laws that equally limit or allow access to a Thing.

I wish we lived in a world where ish was genuine. I hate Content censorship online because it's oppressive and used to attack marginalized groups.

I've never understood this growing mentality. Seen people be like "This single player, solo, by yourself, not multiplayer at all game doesn't have enough concurrent players 7 years after release, dead bad game" with no sense of self awareness

This is how it continues. First the PoC communities Then the destitute Then those that fail to align to The Party Then those that don't have enough money or influence to be valuable to The Party This isn't the beginning of Fascism, this is just another step

There's an alternative universe where OP says "No, I meant [...]" And I feel a bit dumb, then apologize, and thank them for the explanation. Instead it was "You didn't get it, fuck you, you're too stupid to talk to" Like I said: It's no wonder the fascists won.
OldWhovian (@oldwhovian.bsky.social) reply parent
Where in there, @skuzy1572.bsky.social, did OP try to explain? Or did they just reinforce the misunderstanding and become hostile by default? The very activity they decry.
OldWhovian (@oldwhovian.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh, I didn't. Cool. So the timeline as it happened: 1. I misunderstood and responded based on what I thought OP meant. 2. OP said "Fuck You" to me. 3. Given no clarification I took my interpretation as correct and tried to further explain my meaning. 4. OP said "Fuck you, you're illiterate"
OldWhovian (@oldwhovian.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh? Please quote where I said "Fuck you" to OP.
OldWhovian (@oldwhovian.bsky.social) reply parent
Like when someone misunderstands me or has a different interpretation I tend to try to actually explain my intent. I don't knee jerk to "Fuck you you're doing this on purpose" because...well that's pretty impolite lmao
OldWhovian (@oldwhovian.bsky.social) reply parent
Idk if I need to be the one to tell you this but many written things have had multiple different takes; it's an extremely common event and it's hilarious to me that OP expected perfection in the post where he said that's unreasonable
OldWhovian (@oldwhovian.bsky.social) reply parent
Or, or, or: I had my own interpretation and instead of communicating his intent he said "Fuck you" to me.

Just sick of this "Leftism failed because some people weren't polite to actual racists online." Naw, Leftism lost because, apparently, humanity is fundamentally made up of a population that prefers fascism and far right politics.

Leftists need to be nicer because the violent fascistic racism isn't off putting enough from the right. Funny how the left has to be perfect and beyond all moral reproach; no matter how small. Naw, we burn. We earned it.

Yup, and it's not even a little confusing as to why. An undecided voter being undecided already tells you that Trump being Trump isn't enough to make them vote Dem. You therefore have to change your platforming if you want to compete. 2 + 2 = 4
OldWhovian (@oldwhovian.bsky.social)
If Democrats want to win over undecided voters they have to remember that Not Being Trump isn't enough. If it was: Those voters wouldn't be undecided. It is undeniably clear the D platform needs to radicalize.

I've never been a Congressperson but I cannot imagine it's actually that hard to keep saying no to a bill. This whole "reluctant yes" or "the house will stop it hopefully" is literally just because they were already bought, they just like playing pretend that they were even reading the damn bill

Ngl, my secret to liking the gym was just keeping my schedule for the first month. After that it was just another "Thing I Do" and not doing it felt weirder than doing it. Then I got fully addicted and started trying to find gyms when I went on vacation, but you don't need to go that far
