Voting for either half of the uniparty makes no difference to me: either way it means strikes broken up, workers' rights diminished, government privatized, jobs lost. You can throw us socialists a bone or keep losing.

Liberals are always the ones who hand power to fascists in a desperate bid to avoid giving workers anything.

Try appealing to workers for a change. While you're at it, offer someone more compelling than Donald Trump. It's not even hard, just stop trying to make elections about which gender goes in which bathroom, and start making it about jobs and housing.

If the dems can't even beat the fucking goon squad, what good are they?

If you have never watched some absurd hentai with your wife, you haven't lived.

Honestly, delete that shit and ask her to do the same. This brainrot isn't good for any of us.

I have had to fight for my life before and I was put through the legal ringer over it. It cost my family a great deal.

I want rock-solid self-defense laws that mean few people are ever required to defend their right to defend their life.

If you’re okay with getting behind the wheel of a 2 ton+ vehicle while not actively thinking about your decisions you shouldn’t be getting behind the wheel.

I mean I already said it but again: this won't change anything merely by virtue of being true. You need to change the system. You can't fixate on individuals when the problem is as widespread as it is.

the problem is that people are terrible judges of how fast they can react and terrible judges of risk

You agree there is a systemic problem and then...

Tailgating is a major cause of vehicle accidents, and is purely an individual failing.

... You say it's an individual one?

People are largely driving with the instincts they learned with training and over time. They're not actively thinking about the decisions they make most of the time. We can call that a personal failing all we want but that won't change the result.

This is a systemic problem, so it needs a systemic solution.

Oh yeah the win95 excitement got a little out of hand lol. I kind of miss getting that excited about stupid new gadgets and stuff. These days we're just left wondering how the new stuff will steal our information, ruin social interaction even further, or otherwise be enshittified or participate in the enshittification of some other service or function of life.

Tech bros being a bunch of psychotic Network State anarcho-capitalists really has ruined my excitement for new tech.

This was a huge deal back in the day. There was actually a decent amount of OS competition and Microsoft's release of Win95 (plus all the exclusivity deals they made with hardware vendors...) propelled them to a whole new level of success. Of course this market stagnation eventually lead to Vista and Microsoft has been going downhill ever since...

Oh well, installing Linux as my main driver this year lol, I'm not going to Win11

True, but how long until that happens too? So far I've navigated these things with intelligence and the will to live, but I know better than to think that will always be enough. I'm ~40 and I've got kids, I'm not a young man with nothing to lose anymore.

I get your point about sexual attraction not being necessary, but you're still kind of making the other user's point for them. Deep Rock Galactic works because of a cohesive aesthetic with characters that actually fit the world they're in. Concord was like a cast of soulless GI Joe toybait characters who went through a corporate intersectional diversity blender.
