Well, not exactly.

The entire purpose of patriotism is the tribalism; honestly, I didn’t believe a government exists that doesn’t encourage “us vs them” thinking. Now, that’s not to say all nations are xenophobic; but just because it’s not taken to the extreme does not mean it doesn’t exist.

At the end of the day this is all part and parcel of the millennia old class war that has fucked up nearly every society on this planet in one way or another.

I find it doubtful they’ll successfully enforce this in court. But you never know.

The fact that this patent was issued is further proof our “intellectual property” laws and such are fucking broken to all hell, in any case.

I am inclined to agree.

But I bet they’d try to sell the lie anyway.

Hmm, I know the movie. But I must disagree with the comparison.

The movie “Dave” is definitely worth watching, though!

I also highly recommend “Wag the Dog”, starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert de Niro.

I feel like we should’ve seen this coming; if/when he kicks the bucket, they’re gonna use AI to keep the cult of personality going for as long as they can.

It’s not about actual cost; it’s about menu price. The markup on fountain drinks is insane.

If you’re upper-income, earning over $100,000, things are good … What we see with middle- and lower-income consumers, it’s actually a different story.

When had this ever not been true? What a windbag.

Oh, so if you study something, that magically means there will be no prejudice? Whatever, dude.

Holy straw man, Batman!

Biff! Pow! Bang!

You are clearly defending a prejudice viewpoint. Go on with your bad self, or what the fuck ever. But you can right fuck off with putting words in my mouth to justify your bullshit.

Just so we’re clear, those are all your words, your arguments, your bullshit.

So, exactly what qualifications are necessary to speak out against prejudice?

For what it’s worth, I’ve heard the term “rubber-banding” used in reference to lag. But the context of this post seemed to clearly indicate the design of racing games.

First, I pay attention to if an article references an original source. If not, see if they’re the only one reporting the events in question.

I also tend to look at community reactions a lot, see what other random people have to say. That’s a horrible way to verify truth, but on the other end, it’s the effect of the actions or events that will really matter.

And, yeah, I doubt Fox “News” has referenced an original source in decades, so I’m very skeptical of anything they report. And if they’re the only ones talking about something, I generally assume it’s completely false.
