I've never heard of this guy until today, but what a bad ass. We need more people like this in the world.

I would love to hear how they plan to resolve what feels like an inevitable unrest that will one day erupt.

I'm obviously not an expert on the subject, but the rhetoric has been so much more extreme. I hope nothing bad happens, but I have no idea how to get people to understand that an authoritarian government is bad. Do people even understand what that means? Or how living in an authoritarian state would affect their lives?

I can't seem to find the website where this was spread. I keep just finding stuff about the store with the same name

Yes and no. It depends on the games. Usually I wait for discounts now though. I don't have time to play every game anyways so it saves me money to wait. Even during sales, I'll stop and ask myself if I'll play it soon. If I don't think I will, I usually just wait

It's disturbing to see the rize of authoritarian nazi like behavior in North America. The worst part is a lot of these people had their grandfather's and fathers fight in the world wars to stop this kind of thing.

It's messed up that these kinds of people can even get into political office when they should be as far away from political power as possible.

Damn I don't understand how this brainwashing works, but the right wing has it on point. I'm genuinely worried that our world is about to change for the worse.

Regardless of whether you're in America or not, Trump existing has created a whirlwind of authoritarian worshiping bullies. Canada doesn't seem far off. I know Europe is having their own troubles with it too. It's like these people either didn't learn about the world wars or did and thought "hey that sounds great"

Such a shame it turned out the way it did, but the writing was on the wall. Every single reddit announcement thread was a shit show aha. I guess in a way they were transparent about only being in it for the money. Their actions were always consistent

So the owners are being threatened and / or bribed by Trump to keep quiet? Or are they that scared of the fallout in the near future?

I think you can definitely find duplicate ptoducts outside of amazon. In some rare cases, I've seen very specific products where the company specifically only sells on Amazon, but that's of course, rare.

But what I meant is that all the options are these massive companies like Wal-Mart that definitely don't have the general populations' best interests in mind.

I wonder what the good alternatives for people would be (aside from shopping local. Sometimes, you just can't, depending on what you're trying to find.)

Are there any other big stores(owners of said stores) that have endorsed Harris/spoken out against fascist and authoritarian behavior?

The reason I ask is because I feel like in our current systems, it's impossible not to support shitty groups or people. The money funnels up to the top

Yeah, I don't personally get it. We're on a salary too, so if we're getting our work done, that should be it.

They essentially have no idea how much work we can actually do, so they're trying to force the efficiency out of us. But I think it causes people to drag their projects out because they just get more work the faster they go. They're also tracking to see how long we spend on various pages/screens. So I don't think anyone can fudge their productivity at this point even if they wanted to.

There's no incentives to work harder as our raises dont really make up for inflation(even though we know they could! We all get to see the quarterly profits, and they're bringing in millions more each year). so it's this weird cycle of distrust and annoyance between the employees and our employer.

In my personal opinion, I think the logical solution would be to have a normal conversation with an employee who isn't working as efficiently and see how the employer and employee can work together to improve things.

I know the guys at the top could retire tomorrow and never work another day in their life. I don't understand why they don't. Life is too short to waste away at an office

I can't find the original post, but I did a Google search and found this.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download

I haven't tried it yet, but there might be a better or easier way!

I've really wanted to one day go grab a personal collection like that for myself.

I also saw that you can download the entirety of Wikipedia, and it doesn't take up too much space either. I think it was a post made here the other day? I thought that was pretty cool. So much knowledge at ones disposal

 

I feel like I've played a good amount of horror titles, and I find I don't really get scared much anymore.

What are some titles that scared you the most? I would love to hear your recommendations!
