It’s ridiculous too because it’s creating whats essentially a reverse wealth transfer. Millennials & GenZ have to give all the money they earn (doing actual labour) to people who did absolutely nothing to earn that money. Housing as an investment doesn’t make sense from any perspective, it’s one step removed from a pyramid scheme. Prices cannot keep going up indefinitely when no value is being created.

God this shit makes me so fucking angry. Our generation has been fucked by the previous generation and they won’t fix it they’ve caused because it hurts their bottom line.

Moneo ,

The fact that they’re letting this shit happen to one of their own communities is extremely disappointing. They should take it personally that a group of people are using their game as a tool to harass people, but they don’t give a fuck.

I have lost so much respect for Valve over their handling of TF2. I’ve gone from a fanboy to a hater.

Moneo ,

People are being harassed and doxed by a group of people that have turned one of their most popular games into a fucking cesspool. They need to either throw in the towel and drop support for TF2 or wage war on these losers.

Hire a dedicated team, involve the police, I don’t fucking know. The current state of TF2 is an absolute disgrace, it’s fucking pathetic.

They sell you 15 minor features for $10 each and then every tutorial/gameplay video you watch has 5-10 features you’ve never seen before. It fills you with fomo and when you do cave you end up spending $80 to make a $40 game slightly more interesting. It’s predatory as fuck, paradox can go fuck themselves.

Sorry, I really hate paradox.

Moneo ,

Using the floor as a bar.

Moneo ,

All my homies hate paradox.

Moneo ,

Just because you’re able to spend $60 on 3 DLCs instead of whatever the 62 DLCs cost, doesn’t mean those DLC are worth what you’re spending. I can buy a single banana instead of the full bunch if I want but if they cost $10 each I’m not getting a good deal.

The fomo is because I’ve already invested in the base game. I can ignore content about games I haven’t bought yet but if I want to watch tutorial videos that have every DLC I have to filter out all the content I haven’t paid for. I can’t engage with the community on equal footing unless I spent 4-5x the price of the base game on overpriced content. That is not an enjoyable experience and has left me with a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to Paradox games. I don’t want to navigate the cesspool that is their monetization strategy so I simply don’t buy their games (I pirate them :^) ).

Moneo ,

$60 CAD and sales do not justify the base price. Nothing you’ve said has remotely convinced me any of their DLC is worth what they’re charging.

You’re not going to convince me this shit isn’t predatory and vice versa. Later.

Moneo ,

Plenty of developers continue to develop content for years after release without selling overpriced DLC. Y’all are coping.

Moneo ,

Works surprisingly well even after all this time. I often forget its been removed.

Moneo ,

I’m well aware of how it works.

Moneo ,

If you’re talking about stock picking, hard disagree. Emotion has nothing to do with it whether or not it’s gambling.

If picking stocks was anything but a gamble portfolio managers wouldn’t have such a god awful track record.

Moneo ,

You can dress it up in whatever language you want but when nobody is able to consistently beat the market it looks a hell of a lot like gambling.

Moneo ,

we like it thic

Moneo ,

Why is it depending on how you count?

Moneo ,

hehe thx

The US swimmer Lia Thomas, who rose to global prominence after becoming the first transgender athlete to win a NCAA college title in March 2022, has lost a legal case against World Aquatics at the court of arbitration for sport – and with it any hopes of making next month’s Paris Olympics....

Probably AI. There’s probably a reddit comment out there joking about how Phelps is 14 feet tall.

U.S. company found liable of financing Colombian paramilitary death squad to advance its interests (www.latintimes.com)

A U.S. jury in Miami has ruled that Chiquita Brands International is liable for financing the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), a paramilitary death squad designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. during Colombia’s civil war....

Moneo ,

The people responsible went to jail right?

Right?

Moneo ,

Colour me surprised, at least you greybeards have honour enough to spell some words correct.

Moneo ,

Same shit that happens with every climate protest. “Climate protestors deface painting” etc.

Moneo ,

Ah yes, feminism, an ideology that consists solely of extremist views. I’m not even well versed in feminism and I know that Andrea Dworkin is quite extreme and is a polarizing figure.

If you have reduced feminism to the views of a single extremist than you really need to get your shit together.

Cause I’d rather open an app then deal with an extra browser tab every time I want to use the site.

Moneo ,

How do I sacrifice my privacy by installing an app?

Moneo ,

Yes I find it convenient to press a tile on my home page and have it take me to an app instead of opening a tab in my browser. I’m not sure how this is undesirable.

Moneo ,

The point is that we already have tons of cities that are way too sprawly. Adding more cities is way harder than retrofitting the ones we have.

Moneo ,

Whataboutism?

Moneo ,

Autonomous cars really will be a fucking nightmare for traffic and I don’t think people understand this. Traffic is one of the biggest reducers of car trips, it’s why induced demand is a thing. People avoid trips if they don’t want to deal with the traffic and people pay for expensive parking to avoid driving around looking for a cheap spot.

Autonomous cars would enable so many trips that would otherwise be avoided. Don’t want to look for parking? Your car will do it. Don’t want to sit in traffic for 30 mins to get to the grocery store? You can watch youtube while your car drives you. Don’t want to take your kid to a friends house? The car will drive them.

EVs are not going to solve climate change and autonomous cars are not going to fix traffic. These problems are only solved by reducing car dependency and the faster people suck it up and accept that the faster we actually start working on solutions instead of tech bro nonsense that only solves the problem of how to concentrate even more wealth in the 0.1%.

Moneo ,

Double the wear n tear on the car, double the wear n tear on roads, double the traffic. yipeeeeee

Moneo ,

To be fair to OP, they really should’ve stopped advertising this as a feature years ago. It’d be like if sliced bread was still advertised as “Now sliced for your convenience!” or whatever.

Moneo ,

Drones are loud as fuck and have a host of other issues. People will fucking riot if they have to start listening to drones fly around all day.

An eco friendly option that actually makes sense is cargo bikes. Even land based drone delivery makes more sense than flying drones. This shit is probably never happening.

Moneo ,

lol

Moneo ,

5% on restaurants! Fees? Where does one get a card like this.

Moneo ,

Suspect would still be alive if they simply decided to stay home that day.

I’ll bite. Biological sex is real. When people say gender is a social construct they’re talking about everything that (traditionally) gets attached to being biologically female/male. Acceptable clothing, behaviour etc. Those are social constructs and if you disagree you likely haven’t thought about it hard enough. Different cultures put different expectations on gender so good luck trying to find any gender expectations that apply to all of them.

Framing gender as social construct is not the same as telling you masculinity or femininity don’t exist, or that you shouldn’t embody those traits if you want. It’s simply pointing out that our ideas on gender are social fabrications that feel real because of how ingrained they are into our culture and upbringing.

Being cis and embodying traditionally male/female traits is perfectly acceptable and nobody wants you to stop doing that. This conversation is about saying hey, not everyone feels comfortable with traditional gender constructs and that’s ok too.

Moneo ,

I agree with you but this doesn’t exactly counter their point. The scientific explanation for sex was not discovered until recently but the biological differences have been obvious since the dawn of time. Gender is a social construct yes, but it’s framed around real biological differences and ignoring that is… idk. Confusing and kind of irresponsible? The social constructs we’ve formed are heavily influenced by the biological differences between the sexes and you can’t just wave that away and expect people to understand what you’re saying.

Talking about gender being a social construct is honestly pretty mind bending, even if you are entering the conversation 100% open minded.

I really doubt ddos is affecting whatever crawling internet archive does, just blocking the public from viewing the website.

Should I permanently leave Israel?

I’m not sure if this is the right community for this question, but it says “no stupid question” so here goes. I’m an Israeli who now lives in the US, but I am considering permanently residing in the US or elsewhere (perhaps somewhere in Europe or Canada) because I’ve become kinda disillusioned with Israel for a variety...

Moneo ,

Canada is on track to elect a populist conservative PM who is anti-trans, anti carbon tax and anti taxing the rich. Shit fucking sucks right now.
