That's weird -- we water our soil with nutrients like "there's no point in voting", "they're all out to get us", "politicians are shit", "nothing changes", "governments are bad".

I wonder why people haven't been motivated to fight. Whenever they express faith in our leaders, or institutions, or have any positivity, we're quick to shut them down. But still.

New games look like realistic pencil drawings that were smudged to shit.

I literally have Elden Ring screenshots on my PS4 that look worse than Super Mario 64 screenshots.

It's like modern games all have a screen shader at the end specifically to fuck up the graphics and blur details. I know it's TAA and friends but damn. It feels weird that so many games have broken graphics that only look good when taking promotional screenshots. And people call them good looking games lol

I was thinking more along the lines of "install and play this free unity game while it siphons personal data off your computer and sends it back to epic servers"

They're specifically getting something of value in return for the good or service and then claiming it's free and that customers are not customers, merely "users."

a shift in conservative culture

independent poll that shows 34% being against a trans character

conservative terrorists are the greatest threat domestically

I guess Nazis saying "I'll fucking kill you and your kids you woke traitor" and then Americans being afraid to participate in democracy does qualify as a shift towards conservativism.

I don't get how something is allowed to be labeled "free" when the terms of usage make you barter your data.
