So the billionaire execs that are whining and bitching, pissing and moaning in this article, run worse gaming platforms than steam currently. Now have they ever TRIED improving their own gaming platforms to make ease of access, UI, and customer service better for PC gamers? No. No they havent. They just look at the more successful company that is doing exactly that, and complain about them having a monopoly when they really just run a better business model and take care of their customers. I mean the only rhing Epic games has going for it are the free games every month, and even those are pretty hit or miss (as in they started free but now theyre just getting "featured" as free) and it makes it seem disingenuous. When we see large sales on steam, theres some kind of price reduction on basically everything in the store. They want you to build up that library and get to gaming, none of the other nonsense. Summed up, this is the equivalent of powerade executives coming out and complaining that gatorade is curbing the market because they run a better business, and its really nothing other than another billionaire being a crybaby in a public space because they want to hoard more wealth.

    Imma be real though homie, the two sides are not the same in their beliefs of how to handle it and thats where the problems arise. One side wants people to legally immograte, and are for changing the system to avoid as much backlog and frankly, bullshit in order to legally immigrate now. The other side wants them to illegally immigrate so they can deport them to prisons in worse countries (potentially making a buck off it too) and hunt them down using a privatised militia cosplaying as government agents (because them you have a privatised militia willing to take orders from just your side, and that leads to total authoritarian control). So its not like a "we just dont like the other side and thats why we refuse to work with them", its more that the other side is kinda fucking evil, and working with them just means that evil gets to spill out all over the place.

    Damn, year 1905 ALMOST had it right when they said "nobody wants to work for wages". A slight correction to "these wages" and they wouldve been 100 years before their time.

    Youd like to think thats true, it probably is. This post is from like 4-5 years ago (evidence is the "wear a mask" in the NYC account's title). I'd guess that Mamdani has put that barbaric pratice behind the city, and that they would be moving forward on more low income housing and accessible shelters in the city.

    Long awaiting all my "Pro-Life" brothers and sisters to decry police violence, especially when it comes to dead kids...... And yet it seems the only dead "kids" they care about are stuck in the womb; once youre out, youre on your own bucko.

    Sorry I shouldve probably said "we'd have less to complain about". I dont support us getting involved in another war in the middle east, I support that idea EVEN LESS when we start a war in the ME without using the proper channels. And I cant disagree with you there, we constantly get involved in shit around the world that we shouldnt be, and that nobody has asked us to, in the interest of "spreading democracy".

    Thinking people are opposed to Trump invading Iran, or opposed to Trump in general because he's "mean" is misguided at best. If Trump had gone through the correct channels, and gotten congressional approval for the "strategic combat operations" weve been involved in, nobody would have anything to complain about (other than the obvious "no new wars" and higher gas prices, but thats a different topic entirely). Trump acts as though he has absolute power in the seat of the executive, and has unfortunately surrounded himself with loyal cronies that wont tell him no. I dont give a fuck that he's mean (it isnt even that he is, he honestly acts like a 1st grade playground bully), but I do give a fuck about him following the law, being held accountable when he doesn't, and that he follows correct etiquette when making decisions that will effect the entire country.

    Ever stop to think that if the media, opposing party, regular citizens, and even voters in the same party, are all calling these actions facist that maybe...JUST MAYBE..... Its because it reeks of facist ideology and anyone that has studied history during the 1930s+40s know what it looks and sounds like? If everyone is screaming the same fucking thing, MAYBE ITS TIME TO LISTEN INSTEAD OF BURYING YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND.
