There was a whole era of gaming from the late 90s to like 2010 where like a couple developers made something special, left, and then the company coasted on the code for a decade.

For me it was the Company of Heroes series.

The only reference I have for this was someone who I knew who rubbed said slime on herself for YouTube when she was 17 to build a following for when she turned 18 and started camming.

It really is just an anti-trans thing.

We do get a lot of greentexts. I mean, greentexts, NCD, and this place are the core communities filling my Local feed. Whitepeopletwitter has been pretty frequent but pretty low engagement recently though.

I typically opt for All to read .world and .ml debatelording.

Ted Cruz For Human President was a different time.

no politics, merely the human hierarchical structure of control.

I’d love to hear the perspective where this makes sense.

Two parties, one donor class.

A unified and stable middle east would be and would have been a global superpower with the ability to influence independent control over major global trade routes and energy supply.

This is why the Israel is and has been imperative to U.S. foreign policy.

Precisely: this is the story CNN and the IDF want you to see. No matter the CNN reader’s reaction, the policy will not change.

So they do the thing because it is a demonstration that they can do the thing without repercussions. Bullingdon Club type mentality.

Indeed, generally one stops the spill before starting clean-up.

The community is based on fandom of chapotraphouse which champions trolling liberal sensibilities.

Also IIRC Hexbear doesn’t have (viewable?) downvotes and so they encourage voicing disagreements which looks and feels like dogpiling to outsiders who are used to quiet and faceless downvotes.

I say ‘Soda’ but with a Midwestern accent to compromise.

Yeah their calculus is much more binary to the idea where fascism will march unabated unless leftism gains an actual foothold in American culture.

That’s usually the chief perpetual disagreement I see when the American president election comes up. And yeah those arguments are usually more vibe checks than debates.

Yeah, I can’t disagree they’re kind of a nut. You really have to be to continually discuss theory on social media.

Though I read that discussion as it happened and it’s still currently up. They specifically said they weren’t the same, but had similarities in the purposes they serve. Both ya’ll kinda just spun your wheels for like a dozen comments afterwards over the means but the point was on the ends.

Which serves as further evidence of the above, so to speak.

Cowbee is the most patient and cordial person about discussing theory on Lemmy. They’re probably the person most able to make that comment without hypocrisy or irony.

Well, it was coherent and with a very direct and answerable question for a response which is a pretty good basis for a rebuttal.

But he did misquote you by referencing the inherent contradiction of ‘communist nation’ instead of ‘communist state’ as you appear to have written, so there’s that.

Relatively speaking that graph does show Asia having closed the gap between the global average. But it’s a wee bit hard to isolate ‘China’ from ‘Asia’.

Markets can only fail so long before the ideology that requires them to be bailed out dies with them.

Goodbye horses…

Was it 2 cups buttermilk or 2 pints? It seems very dry.
