Game not selling well? Find a tweet from a nobody talking about your shitty game being "woke." Sensationalize it, position yourself as a bastion fighting against the hordes, imply that only by purchasing the failing game can the average liberal "fight back."

Profit.

Don't listen to this guy at all.

The result is a mix of honest “Zionism motivates human rights abuse against Palestinians” statements, and dishonest “Zionists control the world” statements.

Zionists don't control the wold, but they certainly have a lot of sway in places they shouldn't, like the US Government, and apparently multiple Public Universities community guidelines.

As unnecessary consumption is one of the roots of suffering in our world, yea. I don't like sales culture. You don't need any "good deals" in your life, it's not going to make you happy. And your Pavlovian response to a fictitious holiday is the theme of the article.

I’d hardly call them “orders.”

Hmm...

I will shop for deals on both days

Yea...that's the point.

Only sheeple shop on Black Friday. An astute and correct observation.

Note the author doesn't use the word sheeple, but "black-friday" and "cyber-monday" he argues are top-down orders to the masses to consume, and he is absolutely correct.

I've long held that my phone is a single point of failure and that I should be able to function without it. So I don't do banking on my phone, I still carry a wallet even if I do have Apple Pay and I will certainly carry physical identification until I'm legally unable to.

Depends on what she voted for. Did she vote for additional funding for israel? Then yes she voted for genocide. If she didn't, then no, she isn't supporting genocide. Pretty easy.

Astute readers might also note that the concept of a "solution" for black america is neatly addressed by addressing the decline of material conditions that has been caused by the introduction of means-testing social policies since the conclusion of ww2.

Of course Harris has no solution, or even an understanding of how those things could ever be related.

I honestly thought the number of concurrent users was a lot higher a lot longer ago, but either way, it's come a long way since ~2003?

A square is a regular polygon* with 4 sides.

*Regular Polygon A polygon which is both equiangular and equilateral (i.e. having all sides the same length and all interior angles the same).

Note that this doesn't preclude the existence of a square with curved sides if projected upon a sphere. But when discussing common geometry the assumption is that we are working within a single plane. If you wish to work in non-planar geometry, that must be explicitly called out in the diagram.

A pretty standard pro-environmental piece, however I do appreciate how it calls out the "German Green Party," which is obviously just an astro-turfed political party funded by the coal industry.

And of course the criticism of about the farce of Carbon Capture is spot-on.

A growing number of Senate Democrats appear open to making it harder for migrants to seek asylum in order to secure Republican support for aiding Ukraine and Israel.

This is what the democrats stand for. Unlimited funding for the MIC and border-control, but social issues are not a priority.

Stop voting for the parties of Capital.

It's just too expensive to save the planet. I'm glad that our governments were making the tough Choices, to continue burning coal and other fossil fuels because the economy just couldn't handle the burden of not growing by another 5% every year.
