Some of that is intentional, it’s not new for pro-isreal lobby groups to smack the “antisemitic” label on any public figure who speaks out against the government of Israel, been going on for years.

Obviously actual nazis and antisemitic people suck and should be called out for their bullshit, but the powers that be have also made the problem worse by inaccurately throwing the label on people.

Jakeroxs ,

If you’re a actively flying the flag of Israel that might be a good sign that you believe in what they’re doing lmao.

And vandalizing the flag itself certainly shouldn’t be viewed as antisemitic, I don’t condone violence against people of any race/nationality/idea unless in self defence but that’s usually on an individual level, you can’t take out what the government of Israel is doing out on people who happen to be Jewish.

What's your Patient Gamer's Unpopular Opinion?

Share your unfiltered, unpopular gaming opinions and let’s dive into some real discussions. If you come across a view you disagree with, feel free to (respectfully) defend your perspective. I don’t want to see anyone say stuff like “we’re all entitled to our own opinions.” Let’s pretend like gaming is a science and...

Funny, I kinda preferred ds1 over 2 and 3 because it felt a lot more methodical, almost like a turn based strategy game.

I took live in a red state, and went to the doctor a couple months back and they mentioned the new covid vaccine would be coming soon.

15 years of Android memories – When did you get your first Android phone? (blog.google)

My first one was a Samsung Galaxy S1 that I got in 2013 and it was a great little device that was easy to open up and repair. It had only 512MB of RAM but that was plenty for basic phone needs, web browsing and running some Android apps like AnkiDroid at the time.

Jakeroxs ,

Droid 2, was a hand-me-down from a friend, had mostly used an iPod Touch before then.

Of course immediately rooted and rom’d because I knew about jailbreaking, thing was pretty nifty, especially for GBA emulation with the keyboard

Jakeroxs ,

Right, like Facebook did the same shit years ago and it’s unlikely the headline would have looked like this, if it got one at all lol, definitely just rage baiting.

Remember Hummers? I swear it was mostly moms who’d buy it

I think they were talking about making the screen also a storage device but yeah doesn’t seem possible with this tech at least.

The starlink thing is a bit more complicated then that. apnews.com/…/spacex-ukraine-starlink-russia-air-f…

Tldr: Starlink had been providing Ukraine Starlink access for free and specifically didn’t allow them to use it in Crimea only. They weren’t under a military contract or anything that would have required them to do so and I can definitely see the perspective that it would be a bigger step as Crimea is contested land in a different way than Ukraine as a whole.

When Russia took over Crimea, they did it in such a way that it wasn’t a full invasion and was cloaked in “the people voted to be part of Russia” though we know there were many shenanigans afoot such as a “not Russian” military presence and it’s pretty obvious it was in response to the Revolution of Dignity within Ukraine.

Anyway, the US didn’t provide Ukraine with weapons or anything like that to defend themselves from Russia at that point (which, to be fair it wasn’t even close to the same situation as when Russia actually invaded Ukraine) though they did slap a bunch of sanctions on Russia and wagged their finger at them.

So Crimea is a bit of a different situation and the US govt had been pretty clear at that time that Ukraine should only be using the US provisions for defensive purposes, not for attacking Russia, which Crimea could be construed as being part of Russia. Not to mention at the time Russia was very much threatening nuclear war.

Ultimately, it’s a much more complicated situation then a lot of people prefer to actually discuss and instead will immediately label you an Elon lover or Russian apologist or Tankies or w/e if you don’t pretend it’s a black and white good/bad situation.

For example, Ukraine does literally have a Nazi batallion in their military, (Azov) and the US is indirectly funding and providing them with weapons with very little oversight. I think that’s wrong and should be called out, however pretty much any discussion of that in the MSM or by people of congress gets you labeled a Putin supporter or Russian propagandist.

For an even more recent example, look at what’s been going on in Israel/Palestine over the past several decades. Israel has systematically fucked over the Palestinian people, which has bred a far right terroristic group (Hamas) and lead to thousands upon thousands of deaths on both sides (but mostly Palestinians) and you have people on MSM calling for basically genocide of the Palestinians and Jewish celebrities claiming persecution if you don’t agree with every word of the Israel line, yet even the Israeli citizens don’t agree with what their government has been doing.

There’s so much gray and mess in these situations but instead of thoughtfully look at the underlying causes and potential real reasons these things are happening (it’s not just because Musk sucks, Putin sucks, and Hamas sucks, and the Israeli government sucks, though they do don’t get me wrong) everyone just picks a team and ignores any truthful pushback.

I ended up writing way more then I intended to, my b.

I think there’s a bit of a real anti-musk sentiment that is partially real and fair and partially extremely overblown.

Musk isn’t a great guy, but I can’t say I know a single billionaire that is. I have many friends who own Teslas and by all accounts they’re great cars, I just went and checked out a new Model X my friend purchased and it looks great, feels great, sounds great and is arguebly better for the environment then most ICE cars. I wanted a Tesla for a long time too because it was the only viable option for quite a while and without a doubt pushed other companies to try and catch up, which is a good thing without a sliver of a doubt it my mind.

I don’t know if I’d say Musk is a Nazi, but he definitely says some idiotic shit and outright lies for his own gain, but again that’s certainly not a Musk-specific problem. We had fucking Donald Trump as president.

Edit: guess I’m in a ranting mood

It is honestly humorous how much Musk has managed to thoroughly destroy his reputation with the centristy crowd, Tesla was beloved as was SpaceX for genuinely pushing the envelope for what American companies could do, most of that praise should go to the actual engineers making those things possible. You’d have 'muricans coal rolling Teslas and actively destroying them out in public, now the right sorta like Musk because of how he took down a lot of the censorship at Twitter (which… Honestly I am torn about, because I am a firm believer in freedom of speech, but it’s a private company yada yada don’t want to get into that aspect it’s a whole other can of worms) and the Left (who already weren’t a fan of Musk for the most part) and the centrists absolutely hate him.

I don’t know what calculous he thought he was doing, probably something about his bottom line and how the left is much more pro-tax the rich whereas he can fleece the right much easier with the, “one day you could be insanely wealthy like me” line.

Jakeroxs ,

Just like how the US fudges the numbers on Inflation by redefining the “basket of goods” used for calculations

Jakeroxs ,

It has to depend, I know some men take a long time to get ready too

Jakeroxs ,

Thank you, a rational take here, everyone has their pitchforks out and aren’t thinking logically about how to deal with it aside from ridiculous things like “it should be illegal!”

It is definitely a tragedy and I feel for the family and friends, however we shouldn’t be jumping to banning it. That is how we end up with a nanny state, some things need to be regulated of course and in this instance it needs to be extremely clear to customers how much caffeine they’ll be injesting.

Jakeroxs ,

Even banning alcoholic energy drinks seems a bit too far, I’m generally more in favor of regulating and making warnings for those who are able to handle such things to be able to still enjoy them, rather then banning them because some have preexisting conditions or aren’t able to moderate themselves.

Definitely fair though, I wouldn’t argue strongly against limiting alcohol access in general as we as a society have normalized basically alcoholism and abusing it. I’m not sure what the right answer is on that one :/ I just generally prefer freedom to a sane extent over banning certain things.

Jakeroxs ,

That’s definitely a fair point!

What the hell is this shit? Instead of pushing for the return to traditional pensions, capitalism is celebrating the idea that Millennials and Gen Z may simply never be able to stop working. (www.cnbc.com)

Traditionally, retiring entails leaving the workforce permanently. However, experts found that the very definition of retirement is also changing between generations....

Jakeroxs ,

As a millennial, I probably would also want to work a bit in retirement for fun, but not like the job I work now, something more chill or maybe freelance projects.

Obviously that’d require having lots of retirement savings so that working isn’t a requirement

Jakeroxs ,

Fair, guess we’ll have to see :p

Yup, this site has a really interesting graph if anyone is interested.

Though it states 12.4 trillion or 600 trillion depending on valuation type.

Take two is three times smaller via market cap and Capcom is 8 times smaller, just saying looking at stock price alone doesn’t tell the full picture.

Activision has also done multiple stock splits over the last 30 years.

Jakeroxs ,

The stock price itself does account for it in the charts, but it doesn’t speak to the market cap aspect.

Jakeroxs ,

Not true, because of stock splits

Also all I’m looking at is market cap, it doesn’t matter what games you like from them lol

Jakeroxs ,

Nah because you’re fundamentally misunderstanding what “investing 1 million” would mean after a stock splits happens.

I do this shit for a living lol

Jakeroxs OP ,

I guess I’m not looking for additional moderation or something to that extent, just more ability to express a feeling or emotion without needing to make a full on comment and more expressive then up arrow or down arrow.

Jakeroxs OP ,

I’m actually curious what does the upvote/downvote button equate to for other activitypub implementations?

You ever heard of a shotgun wedding?
