Um. Being hired again? She can be completely shut out of any earnings that she needs to survive whereas Linus has a fuck you amount of money. So...

I dunno. I always believe the underdog with a lot to lose.

Because we need a safeguard for people? We should as a society alleviate suffering. We shouldn't surrender to dehumanizing, or ignoring them. Although as your comment suggests, we shouldn't give a shit either way

I think they fail to see that it doesn't matter. As long as it reduces cost capitalism doesn't really give a shit what happens to them. In a normal society you'd expect government regulation to step in to either alleviate or ease this change of jobs into becoming fully AI automated, along with some safe guards. But I just don't see that happening in America.

...what the fuck? The guy who's got a record of felonies he's in court for, and has been absolutely the most fascist piece of shit to happen to America could easily have leftists supporters? The guy who lost "bigly" in the popular vote and created the most partisan and polarized political voters possible? This is Q Anon level of reality.

If there is a leftist in the "lots of trump supporters", they are by definition, not a leftist.

I mean, yeah. That's because they were tasked with something they had never done before. Given a product that's absolutely awful from even a marketing perspective. Gollum? Really?

Death marches. At the end of the day atleast you know to have a job lined far in advance and make it a very "this is for a paycheck" job mentality.

Forspoken isn't bad.... As long as it's played completely dubbed in Japanese with subs on. Obviously last of us 2 was really great, horizon is also very well acted, and very well done. I think it also is inclusive in a way that matters where some games just replace the protag with a woman, these games build it into narrative as well. In the same vein, I really liked life is strange (even colors to be honest)

Pretty much. It's become far more normalized now to be openly fascist in public. Advertise how corrupt you are, it'll win you votes.

Yeah this is the thing about the fediverse. As long as you can defederate there will always be an instance willing to provide that niche

I do wish kbin showed the magazine instance on the very top instead of bottom of the comments. Or on a side bar.

To be fair, I do see some signs of it here as it's grown. It wasn't like this even five days ago, where you would see downvotes on comments that weren't inherently just toxic or just being assholes. But lately, I see more downvotes for people stating a differing opinion to the majority, or even asking questions. To me that's usually the start of the toxicity.
