There are 1.4 billion, YES BILLION, people in India and 35 million in the diaspora and most us eat rice with our hands (ditto the rest of South Asia)

And I have yet to meet a human with hands and a mouth who has never eaten anything with their hands. (Tacos? Chicken wings? Carrot sticks? Shawarma?)

Americans need to reconcile that this is pretty much what the Obama-era drone strikes were. Any time a prior administration abused its power and it was greeted by a shrug because “we’re the good guys” - this is why you shouldn’t do that.

This ain’t overcoming VRChat, I’m sorry

After a lengthy period of difficult reflection, I have reluctantly decided to endorse my own party’s nominee. Despite being overwhelmingly popular with voters, I will be extremely careful to frame my endorsement using bad faith language cribbed directly from their opponent’s attack ads

First one looks fine I guess, second one is Monster Hunter Wilds with a warthog mod and I mean that with affection to Wilds and no affection to the Halo remake

we modernised all the graphics! also we added boxes and highlights on enemies so you can see where they are! draw no line between these points

I never trusted them to begin with

If true this is highly relatable actually

can't spell "eat a Snickers" without E-A-N-A-S-I-R

No you don’t understand, whiteness is the unique qualities that undergird and connect those seemingly-different groups, for example <lists qualities which are universally present in all human societies which have ever existed>

Is this what the kids are talking about when they talk about docs-ing

I already wake up angry and then I'm so smart I check facebook

hey look now buddy, any argument with me, is arguing with a joke

Sometimes, I amuse myself

The spread in explicit use by right-wingers of ideas like “only The West created anything” combined with ones like “evil is incapable of creating, only corrupting that which good has made” has me very worried

To be fairer than perhaps I should be, “content” is vague as words go

I distinctly remember my mom listening to right-wing talk radio (96.9 FM talk) in 2002-03 when I was 14, and amidst the jokes about the Iraq war they were using the same rhetoric about immigrants, war, The Left etc they employed in 2016 and now. Less flippant maybe, but the same policy goals.

Omg a huge account replied to little old me

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

I believe the crux of this argument is "consumers will not reduce consumption in response to higher prices" and surely somewhere in all of capitalism there's been some test case which could tell us whether that confidence is justified. This cannot be a novel economic occurrence

nothing against mico its got a nice avatar design but also, crucially, there is nothing to mico to be against, LLMs are not aware and so whether or not I'm nice to the animated blob is less relevant to the world than whether or not I say "bless me" to myself after sneezing

most people who insist $100+ AAA titles won't cause a problem in the industry seem to be very confident that the consumers are bluffing and won't change their purchasing habits in the face of increased prices

its a little selfish of me but I very much want to see that confidence tested

probably the best answer

But can those game cost the exact same for the consumer? This isn't a gotcha I actually don't really know, it seems like the "paid more" part for the devs would translate to more cost for on the consumer end, maybe less work shrinks the dev cost but is it enough to keep the price stable?

I understand the argument, but in trying to close the circle on the "you should want to pay more for games because they cost more" idea, this person uses the modest increase in overall US wages as if there is a binary 'have more/spend more' relationship between wages and leisure spending
