I think you assumed I disagree with you on that. I was trying to explain the exact reason I think you're right: He hasn't shown any signs that it was at all his fault, she's definitely shown signs it's her fault. Simple as that. I swear, I wasn't not trying to imply there was any fault for the black guy, only that his behavior DOES suggest he's INNOCENT. Sorry, I'm a bit annoyed but I get there was some ambiguity to what I typed.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

For some reason my first thought upon seeing this was "Reading Rainbow" and I'm not sure why because I was born in the early 90s.

As someone not familiar with all this, I think what's telling is that she says "sorry" yet plays the victim outright immediately afterwards. If you say "I'm sorry for what I did and I just hope he's sorry for what he did" then that says to me "I realize I screwed up, stop forgetting he screwed up too" then fine. But "I'm sorry" and then segueing into "he hurt me" without an acknowledgement of what you did? Clearly trying to deflect as much blame as possible. The worst part is she's probably doing it that way because the family lawyer advised her on what slander is. Fucking rich removed flaunting her whiteness, and I say this as someone who looks as white as they come.

That said, a big help is that it doesn't seem like the black dude was spending his time since the incident with business as usual from what the event suggests. That's nothing on it's own, but it lends further credibility that the Karen has no ground to stand on.

Look, if I have to hear one more "you're stupid because I disagree with your proposal" then I'm fucking done with the Fediverse. I was IMPLYING "tell your landlord that he's an asshole and when he admits it, burn all his properties down" because CANADA LITERALLY HAS A HOUSING CRISIS.

Is "destroy houses to hurt landlords and then get arrested" reasonable? No. But until people start demanding free homes on penalty of death, we will never again have enough housing because NOT HAVING ENOUGH HOUSING IS TOO PROFITABLE.

So either start burning down your landlord's houses, or fuck off, because people are literally homeless because of worthless pieces of shit like you.

I am now blocking you. Go die.

Not the one, but close, according to other posters.

Fortunately, dogs rely on scent and hearing as well as vision. Tragic she lost her vision, but she'll probably prefer that to losing olfactory senses, to a dog that's like when we lose both of our hands.

Because now it's undeniable. Landlords are economic liabilities to cities. If the math and the simulation resolution are this high, it's mathematically extremely unlikely that the influence of landlords is truly positive, and thus you can say "the simulations say you're a financial leech and you won't let your ledgers be scrutinized to prove them wrong, so clearly you know EXACTLY what you're doing" when your landlord tries to fuck you over.

I did and it made it worse. Kill me.

I WILL BURN THE GOOGLEPLEX TO THE FUCKING GROUND!

What's the street address of Google again? I'm already homicidally insane, I'll start by burning them TO THE FUCKING GROUND.

How about "if Israel and Hamas succeed in killing the last child in Gaza, I will kill all of mankind"? Because I WILL FUCKING DO IT.

At this point, I alone am the fucking villain. I don't CARE what you subscribe to. You can be a vegan solarpunk eco-terrorist, you can be a gun-weilding nutjub, you can be reasonable, you can be unreasonable, fuck it. I want you dead or me dead because I fucking hate all of humanity.

Thank you, it's always better for people to learn this stuff from someone who knows things they don't and you've certainly made me aware of various things I was not aware of. I just wish there was a better way to handle this, the area shouldn't have to be threatened to get them to follow the Geneva Convention but sadly it seems few with any influence in the region of Gaza even care.

I hate Netanyahu because he's an asshole who has ensured the people of Palestine will never get the slightest solution to their crisis. I don't hate Israel or it's people, regardless of what anything I may have said on the fediverse in the past (it's REALLY hard not to be absolutely furious that kids are just plain being slaughtered over what was probably some fucking "BuT tHaT wOmAn WaS sHoUlD mY wIfE!!1!!1!" that happened so long ago nobody remembers it, and I am truly sorry for any past comments that could be interpreted as some sort of justification of anti-semetic violence; I do not want harm to come to anyone innocent and am just glad I have not let those poorly-chosen words inform my actions in any way) and I definitely don't hate any jews living outside of Israel because anyone who thinks an expat or second+ generation immigrant has any links to a foreign nation really is dangerously xenophobic.

If I thought there was a better way to help the people caught between these two sides, I'd be saying it. Unfortunately, it seems this issue will likely be solved only if the US decides it has to intervene in some way, which is why I absolutely support charging that asshole with a war crime. I don't like it one bit, but I have to repeat myself: The attempted extermination of the Gaza Strip, despite the sheer irony of it being so, is industrialized genocide or "destruction of humanity" - a.k.a a Holocaust - by the very definition of the word. We truly live in the most vile timeline imaginable.

Literally every other post on this page certainly helped me out. OP may be gone (no hard feelings for taking over this one after I deleted my own account, we clearly had too many OpenTTD communities in the fediverse) but it's the reason I know I'll be taking blocking of my own free will more seriously. If OP was too impatient, that's one thing, but humanity as a whole has become so insufferable to anyone who is not on the "x-treme" fringes of politics (both right AND left) that your comment deserves every last one of the 15 downvotes (as of this writing) it got for you acting like if there was no blocklist that people don't have feelings.

I will be banning you from the community I do still run and if feddit.de's OpenTTD community asks, I'll recommend they ban you too, as you clearly feel no empathy nor care about the topic (the game OpenTTD, not the user OpenTTD who apparently named himself after the game and claimed this community sometime after I deleted my account on lemmy.zip) and you seem to have nothing to contribute on either front.

If that starts happening, I literally break down the stall door, get that shit out of me, and burn down the place. I will not put up with THIS when I am about to soil myself.

You misunderstood. I'm a power user... on Windows. I don't have a choice but to switch to a Linux distro now, but I have found 3 different issues requiring use of the command line to fix over the course of trying to shift to linux over the past 6 months. I understand a command line, what I don't know is the lingo. Without experience in that lingo, I literally cannot properly figure out many features I could access in windows purely using mouse and keyboard shortcuts, even if it meant navigating an extensive menu system.

Now imagine someone who uses windows because they have dyslexia trying to use the command line. Or how about VR? If I'm understanding discussion from another site I frequent, Wayland or some other critical code for VR is not able to be handled by Linux and even if you run a windows install on the side it's now going to be windows-fucking-11 bullshit until someone gets VR working on linux, and I do not have the coding knowledge to fix that myself because I don't have 30 fucking years to become an expert in that shit. I'm not saying windows is good or that linux is bad, I'm saying this whole situation makes me want to fucking burn Redmond to the ground becausae it literally is holding my LIFE hostage. I live on the internet, I don't interact with "reality" because I'm fucking sick of how things have unfolded over the past ~15 years (2008+) and if you force me to do so, I do in fact become physically violent. Don't take away my circus or there won't be anyone left to worship big brother, I'll fucking kill you all.

As someone willing to switch to Linux now that I'd be forced into using Windows 11, shut up. Linux is, unfortunately, not ever perfect. Windows has become functional enough for the average user, Steam OS has a corporation behind it and still requires command line and other hacks to function.

Unfortunately, we're fucked unless we start taking more drastic actions against big tech. The only way this will be fixed is public demonstration demanding that OSes and other critical IT software be open source, whether that demonstration is peaceful... or not so peaceful.

I'm at the point that violent revolution would not worry me, corporations and the investors who ruined capitalism with demands for 25% return on investment need to be burned out of house and home. We have no other ideas, we need capitalism to work because otherwise we get Warsaw Pact levels of Orwellian dystopia or a damn feudal society, so fuck data farming, fuck investors, fuck finding new jobs. Just do a "silent strike" and when they tell the lot of you that you're fired, say "Not unless you want that fire to spread. You hired us, you fucking pay us. We won't just walk, we'll take you down, so put up or no layoffs. Not when we've been abused for years as contractors. We're fucking done with being threatened with hardship to cover for your mistakes."

The problem is that we're legitimately in the middle of a class war, the wealthiest 0.01% are actually trying to create a world where everyone else is expendable.

I agree purely on a "cultural influence" level, as while I doubt CoD caused a school shooting, it seems the argument these grieving families are making is "CoD glorifies guns and gun culture, therefore this will send a message that gun culture is not acceptable and guns being admired is dangerous." On that I feel that if they have to destroy an over monetized and creatively bankrupt game franchise to send a message that guns are not toys or fashion accessories, CoD's continuation will not be missed by the majority of gamers.

My only concern is that if they do succeed, that means anything can be censored in the US if it promotes cult-like behavior, which is too subjective to be properly defined without giving politicians another way to FUD people and thus does not solve the problem.

That, and fuck those cops who caused the majority of the issue. At that point, grab kitchen knives, conceal them, go to a local police station, calmly say you want to report a crime, and when the cop comes out to ask, slit his throat and say "this is for the kids you killed". I would not trust an American cop ever at this point, so if anyone from my own or any other country reads this, I'm not going to kill a cop because the RCMP are actually trustworthy and have ensured everyone's safety. I'm not intending to incite actual violence, only stating that these families are targeting the wrong people and they're probably doing it because they were told justice will never come because the fucking police wanted it that way.

Hello, Dr. Smart, you forgot to take your meds again, didn't you?

Go complain about PSN, or the ROG Ally being a toaster for microSD cards. Anyone still involved with this game has made their peace with whatever the outcome will be.

Let me be clear. If this succeeds, you're dead. As in, humans. Homo sapiens. I won't just burn down your world. I will kill until the only one left is me and I will kill myself too.

I already hate you all in a personal way. If this goes the way it's going, I will not fucking stop until we are extinct.

I literally am furious at humanity in general. I took and take a series of bad luck in my life personally and want everyone else to suffer.

I have literally decided that if there is any sort of revolution in my lifetime, I don't care what the result is, only that I now have an opportunity to do to humanity what humanity did to me, and I will burn the resultant society to the ground because I hate you all and it's personal.

Either prove someone like me wrong, by proving humanity is generally good and I'm the bad guy, or lose everything when I destroy everything you worked towards. I am past caring about what you want, I only care about taking everything that everyone else truly values from them. If you are right about "people are not a good thing overall" then my murderous rage is justified.

I would rather be deluded to have escapism, I have always felt like reality is a prison to me and absolutely nothing has ever ruined my life quite like the abundance of anti-escapism in 2017. That, and I am a disabled person whose ability to socialize is further limited by a lack of nearby outlets for any sort of friendship. Screw reality, all I want is a future where my body doesn't need bread, only circuses, but I'll never have that so fuck all of you for telling me that wanting immortality is selfish even though I would make every effort to use such an advantage towards providing everyone with the same benefits and telling me I have to suffer in reality via Once Upon A Time, Twelve Forever, Gravity Falls, Inception, Undertale (or at least it's fandom), His Dark Materials, Ready Player One, the list goes on.

I am serious, anti-escapism was a godforsaken trend for years and combined with a quack psychiatrist whose medication drove me to insanity via 24/7 depression, it ruined my life (believe me, he was bad; I have a doctor's note from my current pschatrist that the medication the previous doctor prescribed was not recommended for someone with ASD and that his professional opinion was that he considered my previous psychiatrist's behavior to be medical malpractice, because the one I had been stuck with for years was unwilling to accept fault and provide one, and I had to move a long day's drive away just to get adequate mental health coverage from the Canadian medical system in another province).

I don't give a shit anymore. Let me escape. You can't tell me not to without going full 1984. You want the world to be better? I'm not stopping you but the moment you throw my "circus" of fiction that is unashamedly escapist out the window, I hate you all and I will have revenge. Whatever world you build next, dystopian or utopian? I will burn it to the fucking ground, and say "No. You took everything I cared about from me when I was so close to success, and my life is meaningless to me to the point I don't care whether I live or die even though I am psychiatrically stable. All I care about now is that I will take everything everyone else cares about from all of you. You will not get to say you told anyone so about a dystopia, you will not get to build a utopia, you will fucking starve to death. You can't just fix insanity with meds, it does permanent psychological damage, and so I will drive you all to insanity or death the moment you are this close to your ultimate goal. Enjoy knowing you created the Antichrist, all you fucking worthless over privileged, politically polarized, incompetent, shallowly opinionated, self-worshipping arrogant excuses for fuckwads. I will RUIN EVERYTHING FOR EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU.

You're not wrong, nothing excuses this kind of behavior. However, I can't help but feel no company can be held responsible for what an employee does outside of work without essentially giving scummy companies like and including EA an easy excuse to lay people off without paying for unemployment.

What do you expect to happen when you vote an accountant instead of a planner into (potential) power instead of encouraging her to remain treasurer, and then believe a conman when he says the accountant steals from you but act like the conman hasn't stolen people's livelihoods on The Apprentice?

I'm going to be honest, you've all made it abundantly clear in the US that you don't care about this article's complaint. You know why you never see kids in wheelchairs in 1950s media? "Severely mentally ill" included spinal injury and paralysis. You've never done anything to help people like me because your fucking tax dollars are more important to you. Burn in hell, or at least read Changeling: The Lost (1e) and then assume that what it suggests is... though only in a realistic, mundane way... absolutely true. No, there's no hedge or kidnappings by the fae, but everything you read about in that fucking roleplay rulebook is directly based on reality.

If you don't have a mental illness or care about someone who does, you are the Gentry that serve as the undefeatable and obscenely cruel demon-gods of that setting, because the real truth is that it doesn't take eldritch horrorterrors to drive someone insane. Unfairness causes insanity.

So fuck all of you. You destroyed lives for your own selfish desires. There will be no negotiations on this, you don't get to blame the victim. Pay your fucking taxes, or personally help the mentally ill, or kindly admit how much of a monster you are and that you want people like me dead.

And they all died and everything was horrible forever. The end. Go away.

Indeed, NDAs and "this is a preview version but..." disclaimers are supposed to exist so that what's being reviewed is at least close to being the finished product or clearly labelled as not being finished.

It's not just game devs who can be scummy about Early Access stuff, especially compared to "gaming journalism" ever since people realized Steam reviews are far more accurate than magazines and websites that sell ads. If the game isn't finished, ask if progress is being made towards being finished, not whether "experts" from GameBloggerYT or Kotacky think it's going to be. Marketers always lie if someone offers them enough money, and Big Tech has an investment in people not having reliable info on something, so if freakin' Disney is able to say a straightforward "we fucked up" then you know that's the honest truth.

But how they screwed up is what matters; they admitted the contract is bad, this isn't about game quality. The game "journalist" vultures saw a corporate megafauna limping, this was a legal loophole they're hurting from.

I know they sadly would never admit to making a flawed or predatory product, but I can at least respect that Disney decided not to sue someone. Maybe wishing on a star can work sometimes?

Meanwhile, EA and Uberme- I mean Ubisoft are literally killing good games because their newer stuff is subpar and they have no interest in doing better.

At this point, I'll take whatever fair corporate activity I can get, Disney might not be Valve or GOG but I consider this incident to be one where a company hasn't been deliberately sketchy for once.

OpenTTD taught me to appreciate running at near but not completely at capacity. Too little usage of a bus or train and you're wasting resources, too much unmoved material or passengers and you're wasting people's lives.

Fair enough.

Not saying it is. Just that it's extremely dangerous to not know what you're doing, but I get that if you're successfully taking recreational drugs regularly then you probably do. I'm not even talking about a junkie who at least has learned to do injections properly, I'm saying "if you've never done it before, be very careful about not having any air in it because that can kill someone".

Jesus, I wasn't thinking about that until you pointed it out but you're right. If I wasn't such a memory-hoarding dorkbrain I wouldn't have even realized why you're right without knowing what it's called to google it.

Yes, I don't know what it's called, but if you ever have to give someone allergy/heart attack/diabetes medication by injection, make sure the damn syringe is empty (pushed down entirely) until after the tip is submerged in the medicine because air bubbles in your blood will cause your heart to stop or something. It's really that important, and this is why doctors get paid the big bucks.

Fair warning, don't mess with the internals of the device because - as a Chinese company - their warranty is prohibitively anti-repair, but...

OneXPlayer. Specifically the OneXFly. More ergonomic than the steam deck, far more powerful than both it and the ROG Ally, has an SD Card slot that doesn't fry itself like the Ally, and comes with a decent warranty for what is essentially the Chinese Lamborghini of GamerDecks. Again, don't try to fix it yourself, it works well but if anything goes wrong (I had to wipe the SSD and didn't know how to do so without removing it physically) then you're screwed.

If you have big hands, just buy a Steam Deck OLED. It's about as good as it gets for customer service to rely on Valve.

No. What matters is I want to be the only me that has ever existed even if I exist across a span of time. My soul, even if just a biodigital construct, is all I have left to give anything meaning. This article just succeeded in convincing me to kill myself because "I" don't exist and right now whatever is looking at this screen and typing this hates reality for everything bad about it.

Goodbye.

No, but at this point I would die to destroy it if necessary. I am so sick of how these gold-plated assholes in Ottawa act like they can do whatever they want, and no, I'm not a right-wing kind of person but Justin Trudeau is not who you want representing your civil rights movement in government.

Or Hypnospace. Or Wonderland, the Dreaming, the Oneiros, the Glade of Dreams, the Outback, Nightopia, Oneiroi West, Phantomile, Limbo, the Dreamlands...

And that's just non-Anime/Manga examples.

I'm partly convinced that, even if not supernatural, there's something seriously "contrary to the theme of reality" about dreams. By Trope standards, it should be far more niche than it is... unless there's some truth to it.

"The Collective is at it again. Better send in a mobile task force before they break the masquerade." - O5

That's it. If there aren't global riots by May, I'm killing myself. I hate reality. I fucking despise it and I want it to be destroyed because I feel imprisoned by it.

Oh, great. Now the malware fucking evolves.
