While very famous, those cases represent a minuscule amount of total cases. You can say “it happens, see these dozens and dozens of examples”. But that won’t matter. We have statistics, data. And data says a negligible amount of SA accusations and testimonies given are false. Around 5%, or less.

Are you this skeptical of EVERYTHING, or just when women are involved?

Also, NO ONE is saying take women’s accusations and testimony as the only necessary evidence. What we’re saying is take them as VALID evidence, and not something to never believe and constantly question.

You do know what a testimony is right? 😂

Would you be willing to say that in court, under threat of perjury?

Performance-wise apple’s chips are way ahead of amd and any other arm based chip as well. Not sure what you’re talking about.

And compatibility ofc, that’s what I meant good software. Like optimizing steamOS to run on the m chips.

But that would never happen of course.

Apple does have the technology though… imagine a steam deck with the m series chip? An m4 pro could run basically all modern games on a small screen at 60+ fps with the right software…

I feel like Outer Worlds at least tried to have a message. But they got scared and pulled away and gave up before the end. It starts way stronger than Fallout 3 imo. At least when it comes to writing and story. It’s of course not a SERIOUS game, but it tries to say something even if it does give up. In my experience Bethesda games are allergic to having a message or point.

That’s literally one of the first missions 😭

I personally loved it. I finished it quicker than most games I’ve played the last few years. I was actually surprised. It’s not a long game by any means, but still.

I didn’t love that it started a bit more radical and became more lib over time, but I still enjoyed the writing and gameplay quite a bit. It’s silly fun, and it’s not pretending not to be. It does have a message, but it’s not overtly drab or serious.

Yeah? The executives are firing people, to lower costs, make the numbers look better…? Which makes the owners of the business money?

Why wouldn’t the executives get bonuses or golden parachutes if let go? They are doing exactly what they are supposed to do.

Executives don’t make products, provide services, or add any productive value. They are just the face of the owners, and will do the “hard” things for them.

Like lie, commit crimes, do mass-layoffs etc etc.

Capitalism really

Honestly the let’s plays will be epic tho. Pure chaos.

Our* toothbrush, comrade.

I didn’t claim anything tho…?

Lol like that makes any difference?

Luddites were not anti-technology. They saw the progress of technology IN a primitive capitalist system and understood that technology would never benefit them, and always be used to subjugate them more.

If technology only benefits 0.1% of the world, and leads to the world dying, does it benefit humanity at all?

Sorry I would rather not :/

For my city, just for a very specific example, it takes less than one afternoon and 80 bucks total (no fees and almost no capital fund requirements) to open a corporation. It takes weeks if not months to open a coop and it costs 2500 bucks PER member.

I don’t know the specifics of all cities and states everywhere in the world. But the system is built to benefit private corporations much more, as it’s a capitalist system where owning capital equals power, and workers are a commodity.

Like the literal law. In most places it’s a much more involved and expensive process to even open a coop compared to a traditional private company. It takes more paperwork, more fees, more capital funds etc. Also, getting investors in (when they can’t own the coop, as they are not workers) or even loans from private or state banks/institutions is much harder. There are several programs incentivising people to open private companies, giving them tax credits, making the application and approval process easier, giving access to funds and education etc. How many there are for coops? In most places around the world there are 0. In what ways does it appear the opposite to you…? Like this all seems very self-evident to me.

The system literally disincentives and makes coops less competitive.

Opening a coop is harder, more expensive, have less subsidies or tax benefits, less opportunities for investments/loans etc.

And all of this makes running coops more expensive, thus less competitive, thus the ones that do manage to open either can’t grow or die.

Dating apps are the most obvious version of the commodification of love.

That’s not so true nowadays. Skilled factory workers already make a good salary in China nowadays. Like better than any other “global south” country at least. And by cost of living, better than the US probably tbh.
