i mean, it’s an article on america. there’s other articles about other countries. i think people like to see that specifically americans are facing consequences for global actions taken by the us president, which makes this one rise to the top over any other specific country’s similar articles.

just kinda boring to see this take on every post about america facing the consequences of their actions these days. like, maybe you could link to an article focusing on the global systemic impact, and we can have that discussion. instead it’s like everything that points out that americans are unhappy has this constant comment section being like “HOLY SHIT AMERICANS ONLY THINK ABOUT THEMSELVES”. which is totally understandable, but like, what do you expect to happen? there’s an impeachment and JD vance takes over and instantly things are solved? or do you expect a significant margin of the population of the continental united states to rise up and storm the capitol in a way that’s somehow more cohesive and effective than the last time there was a violent coup attempt at the US capitol?

inb4 something something the french protest and everyone makes fun of them, and “NO BUT I EXPECT YOU TO DO MORE THAN THIS PEACEFUL PROTEST BULLSHIT”

the only times i’ve had trouble playing a game on linux are when the developer specifically fucks with it so it won’t run on linux. the main reason for that is kernel-level anticheat software, which, from what i’ve heard, doesn’t really help with cheating much anyways. my computer is my computer, i don’t need microsoft or some game company going into my kernel. can’t wait for some drm company to get hacked and have windows gamers up in arms because they got ransomewared.

damn finally someone on the same page as me. we used to own things, now they’re being rented to us at a premium.

companies are returning us to mainframe infrastructure so they can rent it out at the most optimized-price-gouging fashion. nvidia’s just hedging their bets for when their taint-guzzling ai gambit inevitably splatters into the irrevocable shards of what’s left of the US economy.

well, if you’re comparing your income to the average, then yes, anything that substantially puts you out of the average would be pertinent for a comparison

how many kids do you have and how much of your income is going towards their education/childcare?

i mean, albinoblacksheep, newgrounds, and ebaums world were things before and around the time of youtube; iirc the main thing youtube had was a clean design and a decent video player that handled buffering without stuttering. it made it easier for people to just upload a video and share it. ebaumsworld kind of had that i think, but the site layout was a mess and i’m pretty sure i remember them basically just stealing the content of other sites like albinoblacksheep

i use nobara linux and it was literally working out of the box

for fuck’s sake, someone list the 5 drugs if you’re going to post a paywalled article. fuckin clickbait-ass shit

why not firefox + ublock on mac? safari’s so obnoxious to use
