i think ive paid gabe newell more from the proceeds of my games than i've paid the government, but gabe doesn't pave my roads or fund my schools or feed the kids in my community

probably a few overdue conversations to be had about maybe paying less gabes before we pay less taxes or something

Getting off US tech: a guide I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Headlines moved on quickly from the schoolgirls in Minab. We don’t know their names; no media profiles about their lives and aspirations. No smiling photos attached to quotes from mourning families.

How unfair that some dead are memorialised while others are relegated to ‘estimated casualties.’

At some point you wonder not just if insiders using information to place bets, but maybe also reshaping their advice to make those bets profitable.

They used AI for “Target identification”, huh? I may just have a wild speculation how a girl’s school got lumped in with revolutionary guard buildings.

CHINA:

"The US is a war addict. Throughout its over 240-year history, it has been at war for all but 16 years.

The US has 800 overseas military bases in over 80 countries and regions.

The US is the main cause of international disorder, global turbulence, and regional instability."

Where is the lie?

Heave Ho Swing your pals to safety in a wobbly, dangly mass of limbs.

How come I only found out now (7 years after its launch!) that Heave Ho is such a hilarious local co-op game on the Switch?

My son and I just spent 2 hours laughing until we cried playing it, it's soooo good

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

When I went to Tehran in 2018 for a game conference I hung out with game nerds, music weirdos, and queer folks with tattoos and colored hair, just like I do here. We got vegetarian food and watched goofy uncles play basketball in the park. I sure hope they can live to see a better day.

If Reform had won, Labour's statement would be that this result is a stark reminder we need to listen and learn from voters who rightly feel betrayed by modern politics.

But the Greens won by a comfortable margin, so it's: these voters are stupid and also sinister and, ugh, Muslims

The Iranian government in itself was established, secret police and all, as outcome illegal US interference and support in Iran decades ago.

The Iranian people are now suffering evil from the US as punishment for the actions of the US against their grandparents.

There is one evil here.

Nothing is surprising about the US starting another war. Nothing is more dangerous to Earth and mankind at large than the United States and its complete and utter failure to curtail the worst excesses of humanity. The US oligarchy and its influence on global politics must end.

Is anybody out there going to reign in this genocidal nation once and for all? How can you attack 6 different nations, aim to eradicate the entire Palestinian population, break countless ceasefire agreements, and then bomb Iran as a "preventive" measure in the midst of negotiation?

Seems worth noting that ChatGPT Health failed to identify medical emergencies more than half the time in a recent study. The company that made that product just signed a deal with the "Department of War" and said trust us, it's all very safe and ethical.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

I think their RectTransform UI (with the size/anchor controls) is pretty good and intuitive as well

pelo 1o tempo parecia que ia ser um massacre - 2 gols, 3 bolas na trave, outras ótimas chances perdidas

no 2o tempo o time não entrou em campo
