How in the hell
  • What world are you living in? If capitalism rewarded people for how critical their jobs actually were, teachers wouldn't be making minimum wage and needing to take multiple jobs to make ends meet. And according to COVID, delivery workers, supermarket employees, restaurant workers, etc, would all be rich seeing as they were deemed essential workers. Pretty sure there weren't any CEOs deemed essential workers.

    Are you trying to say that you are ok with people working a full time job and not being able to afford to live in the place where they work? It strikes me as a bit silly that you expect people to still do those jobs if it doesn't pay enough to make it worth it. The real fault lies in the companies and corporations taking in record profits but "can't afford" to increase wages because it'll cut into their margins by .01%.

    Wealth gaps do not motivate anyone to grind and investing money you can't spare is not a feasible option to escape poverty.

    The American Dream where all you needed was hard work and determination and you could buy a house, support your family, and live well, is dead. There are families with 2 adults working 2 or 3 jobs that still need financial assistance in order to afford food or rent. They're definitely on the grind but that doesn't work anymore. Now people grind just to survive while the wealthy do nothing and watch their bank accounts overflow.

    The difference between the reality now and 30 years ago is the corporations got greedier and focused their energy on squeezing every cent they could out of their workers and their customers to live their own pockets. This is the reality of unregulated capitalism. It's a fight for the bottom in terms of quality and a race to the top in regards to prices. The only thing that matters is profit above all else.

    In this system, the rich control the "capitalism" and choose who the "rewards" go to. Profits go way up and CEO pay has increased 400% while the worker's wages have remained the same. They're doing stock buy backs and lining their own pockets while their employees need second jobs and food stamps to live.

    You're defending a system that constantly looks for new ways to fuck you over if it makes an extra penny. You need to reevaluate your whole schema

  • How in the hell
  • By "just division of resources" are you referring to the monstrous and ever growing wage and wealth inequality gap? I'm not sure how you consider that to be a "just" system.

  • How Unity makes decisions
  • Awesome. Thank you.

    I've played D&D for years but after this latest bs I've been looking to jump to Pathfinder. Listening to the Glass Cannon podcast has also been very motivating to make the switch

  • Starfield review - a game about exploration, without exploration
  • Maybe it's because I've only just made it to Mars, but I didn't know there was any other way to travel except for clicking and fast traveling. Click load click load click load planet. The tutorial tells you to do just that... is there something later on that says differently?

  • Starfield surpasses 6 million players to become Bethesda's best launch yet, beating Skyrim and Fallout
  • I'm nearing 100 hours in BG3 and absolutely loving it. I'm not even into the full Act 2 yet, still making my way through the act 1 - act 2 transition/passages.

    Choices matter, characters matter, story matters... shit is so fun

    I've got Starfield through gamepass just waiting to go but I'm still trying to get motivated to start...

  • Mehdi grills Vivek Ramaswamy on his record and past statements
  • 50k scholarship he didn't actually need that then couldn't go to someone who actually needed it.

    Why does it matter if he's 24 when he already had hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank? He could have easily paid his own way but lied and said he needed the scholarship and said he couldn't afford school without it. His own tax returns have shown that was a lie...

  • Larian drops Series S split-screen as "solution" to bring Baldur's Gate 3 to Xbox this year
  • They completely redesigned the UI for when you're using a controller. I've been playing on Steam Deck and I love it. You can walk around with a thumb stick or point and click your way around. Abilities and inventory are auto added to radials that you can customize and reorganize however you like. There's a "search" function that helps you dig through any stuff in your immediate area vs trying to point and click your way over each piece.

    There are some minor quirks but overall it's awesome.

  • Two brands suspend advertising on X after their ads appeared next to pro-Nazi content
  • "The platform shows that ad to you because algorithms think you're interested in seeing"

    There's your answer right there. The platform sees what you're interested in and serves up this ad. "You seem to be interested in a whole bunch of Nazi shit, here's an ad for my product" is not a good look for most companies. It's very simple PR.
