I guess they could have been wrapped in bulk, but I wouldn’t say you can ship books around without any protection.

It could have been an e book though

It was kinda like having KOtOR 3 but with multiple storylines, obviously some quest lines are shared but I think it’s worth playing through a few characters.

You underestimate the news cycle hitting regular folk who so far didn’t know alternatives existed to twitter.

Well you say that, but I feel entitled to free shit. - Common take on lemmy

Yes I am sure not being hypocrites is high on their list of concerns

Looks more functional than OOP to me

Maybe I am too european but I have seen two people lose to Trump and one overwhelming win against him and only one of those had a penis.

My favorite lemmy bubble is the smug woke ( idiot leftists, who think they are smart but aren’t) who think Kamala lost because she didn’t take a stance on Gaza and people abstained in protest and not because of sexism and racism.

Bruh, just realized terraforming starts with terra and that’s why it’s what it’s called

I didn’t go to many classes during University, but I remember one class very well, on of the Cryptography classes, the professor spent the entire 2 hours explaining point by point why voting machines are a bad fucking idea and how many new problems it introduces over having to count paper ballots, which is literally the only issue with paper ballots, you need more people, time to count them. They are very hard to fake and if you manage to do it, you can only fake a few votes, compare it with voting machines which are still hard to breach, but if you do you can change election results, this is just the one of many issues.

That’s how I read it and made it funny

I am pretty sure Apple went to court multiple times defending the users data. And refusing to hand it over to the fbi for example.

I used to be in a bad space, getting off the internet more and living life more helps a lot, I am not trying to dismiss your concerns, but I think you will find the real world to be much less extreme than what’s on the internet.

I mostly stopped following politics, the amount of injustice make me angry and unable to function, but I came to the realization that I am not the kind of person who is going to devote his quite literally limited time on earth to trying to fix other people’s stupidity, I go out and vote in elections, then I live my life, that’s it.

Being online and reading people bitching about stuff and saying how bad it’s gonna be doesn’t really get you anywhere only into a bad space mentally, so why read it? I have curated a homepage on lemmy thats almost completely politics free, what’s politics is mostly satire to make me laugh, I feel better, and I focus on being a better me.

And you gave an example of why dog whistles work, plausible deniability.

Yes and the swastika is the symbol of well-being

Pretty sure the blob restraining the powers of president in power is the obstructionist senate, mainly for a democrat president.

Yes I know the EU forced it’s will on Apple, that’s my exact fucking point.

It’s almost as if you don’t let capitalism completely rampant and create new age oligarchs then democracy works.

I guess also should watch an almost 2 hour podcast to find out it’s easier to call things the blob than Super PACs, lobbyist groups and think thanks. Thanks for the link.

No offense but this reads like an edgy teenager’s take on politics, was it the blob who prevented the 10 million people who showed for biden to not show up for Harris? Or was it their selfishness, sexism, racism, misguided idiotic leftism (like you see in lemmy comments about how this is revenge for not taking a stance on gaza)

How come the EU can force change on US companies yet the US fails to do so? Is the blob in the Us, just like alien attacks and pandemics and serial killers in movies?

I don’t know what kind of fucked up country you live in, but in my the employer- employee relationship means that the employer dictates what work you do and when, so if they don’t give you anything to do that’s on them.

Going further even better if you are self employed and on a cintreact thats fix rather than hours based, they have even less of a case, contract says you will charge x amount every month, if they don’t contact you with any issue that’s on them.

It’s the dems fault thinking a PoC woman can succeed as the presidential candidate in the current political climate in America
