Music is so easy to make nowadays, and everybody wants to be a musician. It is an extreme oversaturated industry, and people keep falling into the same mistake of making it a career choice.

Same with acting, art, writing, and most creative positions.

You have to change the FPTP system first. It's mathematically impossible to have a stable third-party system without changing the mechanics of how it works.

The way voters protest this sort of issue doesn't follow logic or reason. People will happily not vote in protest, even if it means somebody far worse will win because of their actions. Cutting off their nose to spite their face.

I think the news needs to shame these kind of voters, instead of pushing this narrative that it's Biden's fault. Biden's views are his own, and yeah, the news should try to highlight and change them. But, voter patterns of using "uncontested" or third-party candidates to sabotage the main electees is actively destroying Democrats' chances of winning elections.

Does it rhyme with "sex fair"?

Or... you could... you know, watch the video yourself and be proven wrong.

Yep, it's rather demoralizing when the side of sanity and critical thought are ranting about getting rid of all firearms, when the other side already has enough firearms to turn a potential civil war into Team America vs. Cavemen Throwing Rocks At Each Other.

Be less like Ghandi and be more like fucking Black Panthers. Or at least support the 2nd Amendment and stop with this pointless bullshit about how we don't need guns because the city police is totally going to have our backs :rollseyes:

Just absolutely greedy fucks that think entropy doesn't exist and everything infinitely scales.

Microsoft’s not teasing Halo on Playstation out of desperation. They’ve nearly ended consoles.

Which is kind of a good thing. The console wars have been large irrelevant for the past 20 years, because PC already won.

Really, Steam won. And if Microsoft isn't careful, all of that planning to shift gamers towards PCs will have them land squarely into the Steam/Linux ecosystem. It really depends on how hard Microsoft wants to abuse their near-monopoly with Windows 11.

Would you like to code something for no money that would help people?

That's open-source software in a nutshell.

These are just logos, names, and brands. They have no real meaning behind them. The people and the company are still the same as it always was.

Just keep clicking. You'll get to the malware eventually.

Selective enforcement probably, especially towards a known women's right advocate.

They were pretty brave to go through with these sort of protests, but at the same time, Saudi Arabia is just not the country to do this sort of thing. It is a harsh religious dictatorship that only respects the richest of its citizens. The best thing to do is to leave, and encourage others to do so. I know that's not an easy thing to do, but it's certainly better than to spend the rest of your life being beaten in a prison cell.

This reminds me of the futility of White Rose.
