“Amazon announces a cheap way to bank on an existing franchise”

Hey, there’s multiple options. They could be a “stay at home and not bother” voter instead. They are the largest electoral demographic in the US after all.

I wonder if he ever made a game about driving Lady Di off a road with papparazzi…

At no point did I mention volume, I implied education. I actually find just yelling louder to be worse than censorship, as all it does is increase the level of tension and push people towards extremes. Which helps no one.

I also didn’t mean to imply that we shouldn’t use band-aids at all, just that it’s a simple treatment, not a cure. Blocking certain speech and rhetoric can help to a degree… but not if it’s the only thing you do.

The problem with current strategies is that no one wants to go beyond that first step. Whether it’s censorship, or shouting.

Censorship is, at best, a band-aid. And they can always find ways around it. The best solution isn’t to block them from view temporarily, but to teach people to evaluate what they say with empathy and critical thinking.

That is, of course, difficult to accomplish. But then again, there’s no easy solutions, only easy excuses.

I mean, they acknowledge that it’s wrong, and they acknowledge that Bruce Wayne is not stable enough to have power by having him give the power to Lucius.

Not all scenes are so one-note that it only ever has one meaning or message.

Trump, of course, being so much better.

Pragmatism beats principles every day of the week. The problem is it makes weak-willed people scared.

I’d hardly take criticism from so called leftists regarding smugness.

Blaming “liberals” for not voting on “principle” (re: ego) while they sit on their asses telling everyone else to form an armed rebellion instead certainly aren’t smug bastards themselves.

Responsibility for someone else’s vote?

All the people making excuses for why their vote clearly didn’t matter so they were better off not voting obviously aren’t making excuses themselves. That would be silly!

The amount of people who sat home on voting day outweighs both republican and democrat voters. Apathy won the last presidential election, just like every election in recent memory.

Well since more than a third of them can’t be arsed to get out and vote even once every four years, much less for state and local elections or primaries… I’d say a whole hell of a lot to get to an armed insurrection. Which has much less a chance than a non-violent revolution, no matter how many people on lemmy harp on about armed conflict being the only possible solution.

No Man’s Sky has added thousands of generic resource gathering tasks by now!

I have tried playing it maybe half a dozen times and come to the same conclusion each time: “This is it?”

It’s a great game for wasting your time in the most banal tasks possible, but not much more.

She’s basically traumatized up until

I don’t think she ever really does value her appearance like you assume. At most she realizes there’s more to life than survival, whether it’s because of her beau or not. He’s just one aspect she finds in life to make it worth living.

His writing group all but started as a DnD campaign.

I do think there’s an over-generalization, a merging of the idea of America as a society and the actions of a few supported by a minority… but the effect is the same. The US has casually invaded and overtaken a sovereign country. Whether it’s the will of the people or not… they’re not doing enough to stop it either way.

Yeah, that’s probably the worst thing that’s going to result from fumbling.

Or we could just enjoy them as they are and not try to capitalize on them with low effort garbage.

It’s a wonderful phrase

For now

At least according to wikipedia at least, Georgia is widely considered to be part of Europe even if it straddles the border. Armenia is stuck wholly in Asia, though.
