The right is REALLY good at messaging it’s insane. The culture wars they start have created a “bogeyman” and it’s insane.

I really hate it and how it sticks to the zeitgeist. It just makes me sad.

Dan Olsen on Folding Ideas talked about Fortnite and a bunch of the dark patterns that they do in regular mode until you pay:

He called it “manufactured discontent”.

I think right-wing talk radio has been going for quite a while as well.

Okay, maybe sub-genre is the proper phrase I was thinking of. Thanks!

The headline isn’t telling a full story

Some of these include free fruit and beverages, fitness coaches in the gym, a sabbatical after four years with the company, and the grounding of the Intel Air Shuttle that flies between California, Arizona, and Oregon.

I’m a dual citizen from the UK/Canada.

I feel the same way after Brexit. I felt a huge sense of dread and my coworker said to me, “we work in a high paying position and we’re men, we’re mostly going to be okay. The people that voted for Brexit have just f*cked themselves and there’s nothing we can do about it.”

I do feel a lot of animosity to any Trump supporter and I feel that’s warranted. I don’t care to elaborate further. I’m thinking of dropping social media for the next six months because there’s a lot of shit going on that I have no control over and I can’t change.

When Terry Crews came out about his sexual assault. So many men publicly derided him. I felt so bad for Terry.

For the record, fifty cent, Vlad from VladTV, DL Hughley were those that made fun of Terry and some even insinuated he was possibly gay.

I remember working in the London UK office and we curse non-stop over there it’s great. Whenever our colleagues from SF would visit they would always be surprised how much we swear. I’d see them do the turnaround like, ‘what just happened?’.

It’s a cult. They have people denying COVID ever existed. Heartily rejecting vaccines.

There’s just too much to list but it only ever makes sense if you take whatever he’s doing as right and readjust everyone around him to work does it ever make sense.

The fact that this election is even close is absolutely insane to me.

Ana Kasparian says no.

Which I found odd but whatever…

lol, it’s alright, it’s cold communication on the Internet. I also genuinely thank you for both replies!

I mean I think I understand the argument for your distinction. I don’t play either games, I just watched VFX artists reaction and saw Snoop Dogg in it so I was wondering why it’s such a big deal with Tencent. As he does seem to “dance” in CoD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdhPvXhXoUM.

I may take slight issue with your last statement. To be clear, I’m not trying to have a “dishonest discussion”, I genuinely don’t understand the distinction and there isn’t really an article or anything here for me to clarify.

Thanks for your reply on it though it does clarify a bit more to me.

Isn’t he already in Call of Duty?

we’re entering a dangerous territory where women are being treated like people … think of where this slippery slope can go … /s

You’re only saying that because it’s true.

I’m so dumb, I thought it was “a slaughter of crows” and didn’t get it. It’s a “murder of crows” for anyone else like me.

I loved it. But to each their own. I don’t think it signals much about society though 😛.

I don’t care if remote work decreases emissions. We paid for an office!

I don’t care if AI uses a crazy amount of energy, we need the line to go up!

I’m gonna guess the hard drive and RAM are still not upgradeable by us?

Thank you.

It’s tough on the other people around as well as that person. It’s not that they don’t care, it’s that they don’t know how to help and the negativity and stuff affects them too.

By the way, I say that as someone who’s been clinically diagnosed and did six months as an inpatient.
