Taking notes while playing games is underrated
Not even just for story stuff. I’ve even done this for gameplay stuff in fighting games and it leveled up my play drastically

As mentioned in an earlier post, Musk's toy LLM has clearly been instructed to be as obsequious as possible when questioned about him.
However, while these are certainly amusing anecdotes, they betray what I said earlier: this tech cannot be trusted because its owners ultimately control it.

It's important for everyone to know that Elon Musk's LLM is engaging in Holocaust denial.
I'll also add that all of the arguments here (about architectural plans and gas residue left in materials on site) were refuted decisively in the 1990s. There is *nothing* here but 30 year old falsehoods.

for them, the deal is that in exchange for aid, they're owed a proper performance of poverty and humility that reinforces their superior position in the social hierarchy, and anything as small a preferring a condiment above one's station is an unacceptable act of defiance

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

When I try to explain to folks why the game is so rigged, this is an excellent demonstration. The executives who made decisions on baseless assumptions not only got paid substantially but are insulated from the consequences of their actions.
I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

An understated reason figures like Newsom are so dangerous is because what really advances the most violently reactionary parts of the American state aren't just the openly far-right rulers, it's their successors entrenching what they did. Newsom types aren't an end to fascism but its completion. 🧵

It sure is good that Mario Kart World came out before getting upstaged months later by Kirby Air Riders.
Masterful play on Nintendo's part - they get folks comfortable with an increased price point and then release an even better game in half a year.

Makes sense.
Xbox spent a lot of money on acquisitions, and Microsoft expects them to make that back quickly (with interest).
30% is crazy, but it's important to remember: Capitalists don't want some of the money - they want ALL of the money.

SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average.
This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything.

IMO promising people hope & change & then bailing out bank donors as they foreclosed on 10 million families was the defining political moment that birthed this era & IMO liberals/Dems still refusing to reckon with this & discard the politics that led to it is part of why this descent persists.

I'm going to use the zombie analogy again:
If you want us to survive the apocalypse -
1) we can't let people in the safe house who WANT to open the door to the zombies
2) the person who arbitrarily says we need to give up some of us to save the others also can't stay in the safehouse.

One thing I've told folks is that the current president's actions only make sense if he is:
A) an impossibly lucky imbecile or
B) a Russian tool who, while given a leash, is tasked with unseating US hegemony.

Here's the part that really sticks in my craw: of all the people who voted for Brexit and now see that as the wrong choice, how many do you think took a moment to reflect on which information sources they should trust moving forward?

The unfortunate reality is that many of the so-called 'left-wing' parties across the world are neo-liberals and thus are not actually interested in left-wing politics.
They will abandon any group before turning on their owners.
They serve capital, but they do so with a rainbow varnish.

I think one of the biggest cleavages in our society that no one talks about is the division between those that think powerful people must be held to a higher standard than non-powerful people and those who think powerful people should be flattered and sucked up to.

Universal masking, which we tried for two hot seconds in America before people started throwing tantrums & posting up with their guns, is about the same kind of understanding ourselves as a collective we would actually need to counter fascism. You care about the community so you set a group norm.

Something that is bewildering to many is how fascists are seemingly immune to being labelled as hypocritical.
However, it's important to realize that fascists simply do not care. To them, words are merely tools; meaning is irrelevant - only power matters.
