The left is already playing into their hand by having the wrong fucking argument. The whole media blitz around Charlie Kirk and whether the left did it or not is irrelevant and spreads the wrong message. Yet, there’s countless counterarguments around if the left did it or not, and whether political violence is wrong, and how we should feel about Kirk getting assassinated, blah, blah, blah. It’s the right-wing media machine steering the narrative, which is something they are very good at!

Meanwhile, a bunch of leftist Gen Zers violently overthrew a government in Nepal. Political violence. Got results.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. So, why the fuck are we stuck in this slowly boiling pot, instead of spending time watering that tree? The fact that none of the last 31 political attacks was from the left is a detriment, not something to be proud of.

Sounds like a skill issue.

They have to. It’s a requirement, or everybody would quit in protest.

Most popular system RAM is 16GB, and VRAM is 8GB.

Wow! Powerful specs!

Fuck games like this. Borderlands fell off after 2.

Public tracker: You are the hero, getting a 30:1 upload ratio in a mere 30 days. “Wow, this shit is easy!”

Private tracker: “Please… can this torrent even reach 10% upload? It’s been an ENTIRE YEAR! I have 500 torrents in the same state!”

Is it, though? Nepal just politically-violenced their way out of fascism. It wasn’t the protests that got the fascists scared. It was the violent protests that scared them into fleeing.

Rodney King, nobody gave a shit until the LA riots burned shit to the ground. French Revolution, nobody gave a shit until the rich started getting beheaded. America, nobody gave a shit until shots were fired and we declared war on the king.

Change isn’t started by convincing fascist assholes into following empathy. It’s started by getting rid of those fascist assholes. Let’s stop pushing the wrong message.

The center-left

What the fuck does the center-left have to do with WSJ? Not even the center-left read WSJ.

Perhaps not the most related, but it is sort of funny for The Intercept to cover this when they led to Reality Winner going to jail because they didn’t follow basic journalistic protection of sources.

It’s absolutely related. I will never trust that name again because of what they did to Reality Winner. And Snowden. And many others. They have a shit track record, and should get out of the business of security reporting.

Thanks for making games illegal!

As a big fan of elite games: I am really glad star citizen “exists” to contrast Elite Dangerous and has led to some truly amazing games in the genre.

Elite Dangerous has its faults, but goddamn, did it pull something epic and historical with a ten-years-in-the-making final event.

Right. Never pre-order games. Ever.

They may have been the first, but the sheer amount of failed disaster projects on Kickstarter, Paetron, wherever is staggering.

Some of them end up being “successful” failures, just stringing their patrons along on hopes and dreams and donations until the well dries up. Star Citizen is definitely the most successful venture of its sort, but only because it’s the highest profile with a bunch of known talent in the mix.

My question for the last 9+ months has been, “how long can a market willingly ignore reality?”

How long did we kick the foundations out of the US dollar when we got rid of the gold standard, and just let it float on speculation and feelings? What, 60-70 years now?

How long has the stock market existed on the whims of people’s feelings over cold hard statistics and long-term analysis?

Markets have been ignoring reality for many decades.

This is an example of what I feel is a watering down of this YSK forum. Knowledge like this is so esoteric as to be useless to a vast majority of the people here. JetBrains develops programming tools, and this post should go into a programming forum.

I’ve found that as long as you put YSK in front of the title, you can post any damn thing you want here. There’s barely any moderation against the type of posts that are brought here. It’s just a place to put a post in a high-volume forum, so that it gets at least triple-digit upvotes.

Shit like this was possible before AI. Companies have been deceiving other people since civilization.

Doesn’t really matter. Fraud is still fraud.

Sounds like a great way to make people aware to not play this game.

There’s a reason you don’t do both.

VHS tape is too big, VHS tapes don’t talk, suit has a weird look on the sleeves, what kind of flag is that, what’s up with the text on the document…
