From interacting with liberals they seem to think Russia is still under a communist party.

The keyboard and mouse should both charge by sticking to the rear of the iMac with a big magnet, that would be pretty neat and tidy when you want them out of the way and make it easier to transport too.

Why do you think animals do not have consciousness? Do human animals have consciousness? And are non-human animal brains not remarkably similar to our own? Did we not come out of the same stuff, live on the same earth, and evolve from the same common ancestors? It seems the logical default to assume that non-human animals do experience the world in much the same way you or I do.

Lets say you see a moral wrong that others ignore, often while admitting that they’re wrong to do so, and you alone act against that moral wrong despite it being hard and being mocked for your decision. How else would you feel? If you felt that being vegan was morally equal then you wouldn’t have become a vegan for ethical reasons in the first place. So by definition, you must believe yourself (in this specific area) morally superior, and based on that one data point, it’s probably safe to generalize that you’re morally superior to the majority of non-vegans, just like how you probably consider yourself morally superior to people who litter or hit their kids.

I think you’d still get some big budget projects from publicly funded art grants and crowdfunding. In a society where IP and patents either don’t exist or are much less restrictive, a lot of code and assets will be freed up to reuse when you make your “new” game, lowering the barrier to entry.

I expect we would see more things like doctor who; low budget, thousands and thousands of episodes because it’s beloved by millions of people who keep demanding more.

This is me. Writing gave me so much anxiety in HS and I really should have started keeping a journal or something but I didn’t. I devoured books as a kid but still I struggled with putting ideas on paper. Once got so upset at a boyscout event where I had to write an essay for a merit badge that I threw up.

I can write a comment or even effort-post just fine, and I can type 100 wpm, it’s just something about structured writing that makes me feel Ill.

Definitely, but if the recent spike we’re seeing keeps going we should be well on our way to 80s and 90s levels by next year!

I think the established socialist terms are best, even if they require further explanation because our definition and understanding of “class” is the distinction between us and your average Republican. It’s the definition from which our entire understanding of politics flows. To a Republican “class” is a series of virtues you signal, self reliance by having a pickup truck, being a hard worker by having working man boots and not being college educated. A petit- or bourgeois man born with a silver spoon in his mouth can still be happily brought into the fold of “working class” so long as they get their hands dirty and don’t talk like “the liberal elite”.

To a Marxist, “class” is based on whether you have an exploitative or exploited relationship to production.

I have never even heard of such an ideologically clean protest movement in my life. Even a whisper of something that might sound like antisemitism if you squint is immediately renounced and removed from the protest. You could not ask for better.

We got ourselves a GAMER here bois

We already have one. Its Mecca, and all the aliens are Muslim.

(putting my shitposts with the other shitposts so they don’t bother)

Don’t think I necessarily believe things or don’t believe them based on one assertion by someone. I am able to hold it in my mind with a certain confidence level attached. Of course that doesn’t really answer your question, only kicks it to “how do you form that confidence level?”

Have you considered casting zone of truth?

The way they’re queuing so close together that their chests are touching makes me very uncomfortable.

It could be that only the installer has issues. If you’re dual booting have you tried launching the already installed program from your windows partition?

Otherwise I would try launching the installer from the wine command line to see if it gives you a specific error there.

You can set up a command to transcode into AV1 once a download completes. Would that help?
