We do have easier access to information. Also, if you’ve ever worked on a German vehicle, you’ll know that they’re not all that.

If you have capitalism that is heavily supported by a non-market system then you don’t really have capitalism. Heck, the big thing about capitalism is that there’s a massive threat of being without which forces people into exploitative situations. The concept of money is not locked to capitalism, despite the beliefs of what seems to be the majority of people, it is simply hyper-prioritized in that system.

Capitalism is where those with the most money have the most power, socialism is where society at large has the most power, etc. Whatever goes in front of the -ism is what gets put first.

Basically, you can 100% have private businesses under an -ism which largely prioritizes people, not capital. A government will operate utilities, education, healthcare, etc., as well as offer basic services like grocery stores and internet, and private business can handle your fancy bakeries, clothing stores, electronics, instruments, and all that stuff.

8BitDo makes controllers with that layout, incredible parts, and for a LOT less money. It’s also kinda strange that the Razer doesn’t call out hall-effect sticks, or the other fancy one, since that’s usually a point that sells quite well.

Looks terrible for people with big hands, too. Just to stupid nubs and no where to wrap your fingers around. Over $200 for something that’s just kinda not hitting is pretty terrible value.

Except that it’s very obviously not the same idea as the post. Your great blue friend should practice basic media comprehension before butting into a conversation to talk about themselves.

You can have your feelings about someone calling someone out for mispelling something(it’s a name, though, so they should get it right) but there’s nothing quite as pathetic as people like you. Why be better when you can be proudly stupid instead?

(That’s literally what conservatism is)

If you look at literally anything the GOP is doing and are still on the fence you’re either impossibly ignorant or at least evil-adjacent and pretty ok with it. Being “moderate” in US politics is embarrassing as even the US “far left” is just the developed world’s center.

A US moderate is a joke.

Yea it’s wild. Frickin’ love this stuff, especially when it’s all easy enough to learn and explain accurately enough for fun fact time.

The people I saw boycotting it, myself included, didn’t think that our absence would kill the game. It should have, because people shouldn’t be supporting a rich, powerful, raging transphobe but they knew it wouldn’t. Meanwhile “go woke go broke” really just doesn’t work unless your entire business hinges on a large amount of terrible people, like the customer base for cheap beer that dared try to treat people like people.

Besides, if your opinion is “they put a gay person near this game and that’s why I won’t play it” vs “the person who gets a shitload of money frok this game is actively working against human rights” and you think those are equal arguments I got a few bridges over distant water I’d love to introduce to.

A lot of people, especially a lot conservatives, and being weird about it doesn’t make it untrue.

Literally I’ve talked to people like this. Usually when I was younger, but people aren’t known for growing up. And then there are Facebook comments that are just horrendous cesspools. Also the fact that 99% of conservative politicians are openly homophobic/sexist/etc. and that never seems to disqualify or register with their base and actually improves their chances.

No, many conservatives say some pretty awful shit on the regular and you’re either lying or ignorant.

A lot of Facebook comments are filled with these people. Every once in a while I’ll go there and see an onslaught of people whining about it but generally I keep to saner places. Hell, a woman goes anywhere near a lead role and someone like Ben Shapiro, who has plenty of loyal followers, is right there to bitch and moan about it.

There are plenty of these people around, and I remember even in person when I was younger hearing about people whine about a single gay cahracter in a movie so it is not surprising at all.
