Google has destroyed their own ads revenue by adding more and more ads. Imagine they’d have stopped with simple side banner and people would’ve not even bothered to use an adblocker because of it. This tiny little banner would’ve been worth as much as the multiple seconds ads now. The companies would pay as much, as there’d be no alternate.

For some games it improves the feeling of speed. A racing game feels faster with it enabled.

Also people always only answer one question. Don’t ask two things at once. This is so infuriating.

I like the X on top of the bird. Nice

I unintentionally did this once. I still feel bad about it 7 years later. But hey, I won.

Politician hardly talk to the crowd with direct words, because it requires a level of nationalism and populism to still be convincing. A lot of solutions aren’t nice to the common folks. Take taxes for instance, most don’t like paying them. And if there are hard times and there’s just one person who promises you a better life, it’s compelling to follow. Hitler had a certain way of talking that made you feel emotions, in a time of desperation. And he promised solutions by declaring enemies.

Not to start with US politics here, but you can certainly look at how Trump talks and you see the same playbook. The same similarities. The same way of seeking for an enemy and also the false promises. Others talk like him too, but this is so recent.

You don’t have to be able nor smart, to destroy.

I want more of this. Reminds me on the anime Darker than Black, where those with power always had to fulfill some contract to use their power, else they’d die.

Evil ones will.

Well it’s a video game, it looks great and people should check it out on Steam. I think it also launches for console. It’s very beautifully with its Ghibli art style and creatures. It won’t be action packed and be more focused on terra forming and animals and exploration.

From a boring dystopia to a holy fuck that’s scary dystopia.

Steve: I want you to be a pretty women.

Genie: huh, okay. poof

Steve: my second wish is, you become my wife and love me desperately forever.

Genie: dafuq!?

Give it a bit more time. Soon we’ll have those directional speaker. Linus from Linus techtips showed them a few weeks ago. They will be able to blast you hundreds of meters away with directional noise that only people hear who they want it to hear.

Not just right wing voices emerge, democratic people now see it’s pointless to argue. Which is the much bigger damage. Imagine what happens when people no longer fight back. We live in post-factual times, it’s over.

Ukraine is currently fighting this war for Europe too. Spending money and lifes directly in a confrontation is massively more expensive than sending weapons.

Half of every American won’t forget it in their lifetime ever again, that their twisted views are the right thing to believe. Poor other half that will have to endure this daily from now on. F

I hate this because for Europe it will become expensive too, just for the heck of it.

Actually this one and I just saw it on Lemmy too. As a life long Trek fan I have this quote in my head quite often.
