A lot, probably most, of my hours on steam are from before they tracked it. I had 3,000 hours in CS:S and it shows 0 because I stopped playing long ago. Steams been around for a long time, much longer than its ability to track games, so I imagine there’s a lot of people with “unplayed” games that they’ve played, plus people like you that don’t show their hours for whatever reason.

There’s news articles claiming MLK was secretly funded by the USSR to bring disorder to the US, and it was considered credible at that time by the majority of the white population. The point isn’t people’s reactions, when the civil rights act passed the majority of America thought MLK was a terrible person harming America. The point is to create enough disruption that the people with the power to do so are forced to take action or risk outright collapse of the social order.

There’s actually already a solution for it, but right now it only focuses on endangered birds.

Good candidate for nationalization, that is, if we lived in a country that cared about solving it and not just coming up with excuses to prop up fossil fuels.

Not necessarily.

No, they just hold massive colonial holdings from which they extract trillions of dollars of wealth and materials from, no need to invade.

My little Gen A brother calls his friends who watch it “super brainrot”. I like to tease him by calling things skibidi sometimes because I’m finally old enough to be the one getting the eye roll for using slang incorrectly and it’s truly hilarious.

The question is foolish and reflects a complete lack of knowledge on the subject.

Taiwan is recognized as part of China by the majority of countries in the world, Including the US.

When I first hugged my little brother after I switched to vaping he said, “you don’t smell like cigarettes” and my heart just broke. I can’t ever go back, even if vaping isn’t really helping me quit nicotine, it’s still saving them from being around the smell like I was when I was a little kid, and I hated that damn smell. Should’ve never started, but it’s easier said than done.

Most pc gamers play on shitty integrated gpu laptops and play stuff like LoL, they’ll be just fine with 30fps in heavy games like BG3. PC snobs, however, will complain incessantly.

To put it as an article I saw the other day said, “who does the dishes after the revolution? Everyone.”

There’s a tendency I see among some leftists, like, “after the revolution I’ll knit for everyone all the time.” Nooo. We don’t need your knitted goods, to be honest. Machines do it better and faster. If you want to knit in your newly liberated free time, that’s fine. You can also help clean the toilets and scrub the floors.

In other words, I don’t really know whether I discount specialization entirely, but I do know that contribution to the various modes of production helps prevent elitism and ensures a comradeship that sitting in an office all the time and relying on others to do the hard work can never bring.
