Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done'

    Chris Roberts is still rich, and could probably retire right now without worrying about anything. He could tank the company, and he wouldn't care.

  • Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster
  • p03locke p03locke 2d ago 100%

    The problem I have with it is that the thing she is communicating is not “I’m a wicked witch”, but more “is this photoshoot over yet?” or “what shall have I for dinner?”.

    Or "I told this prick that it's in my contract to show my full face in the poster".

    Too bad FTC rules are useless, thanks to SCOTUS striking down the Chervon ruling.

    I think some Democrats are better at it than others. Their approach has been wildly different since Harris took the scene. It's been less of trying to debate the policies that the GOP doesn't even have, and more of just pointing out how fucking bizarre this shitshow has been.

    Then there’s the other type of brainwashed idiots, the kind who even after all that has been said and done in the past eight years, insist like a scratched CD on the divide-and-conquer propaganda (strongly pushed by the right) that bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe.

    These are the kinds of idiots who actually post on Lemmy, too. Completely proud that they are "sticking it to the man", while parroting whataboutism and false equivalency.

    No country still uses an electoral college − except the US
  • p03locke p03locke 5d ago 66%

    Most in the US are already pretty tired of it. I don't expect it to last another 50 years, but good luck trying to change it now. It still requires a constitutional amendment, and right now, we're fighting with a party that has half the votes and wants to drag us into a corporatocracy.

    Let's solve that fucking problem first before we move on to constitutional amendments!

    Damning Video Shows Roger Stone Is Plotting a Coup for November
  • p03locke p03locke 1w ago 100%

    As much as I hate Roger Stone and think he should go to prison for many other reasons, can somebody point out the timestamp in the video where he says he's "plotting a coup for November"? I watched the whole thing and all I got was him shit-talking Bill Burr and Jared Kushner, and some toothless bullshit about state-based lawsuits, which will fly just as miserably as it did in 2020. Then they talked about Harris' ethicity, and whether it's a good political argument for the campaign or not.

    Honestly, it's this reporter who's trying really really fucking hard to put words in his mouth, and Roger is being very careful about the direction of the conversation, while still entertaining this fake supporter's arguments. This whole article stinks of some undercover reporter getting a lukewarm interview and trying to turn it into some sensational headline.

    This video isn't "damning" at all. Bullshit headlines like this makes all of the actual investigative journalism look bad.

    It's made much worse by the games "journalists" industry paying too much attention to X. They find some crackpot spouting off controversy, elevate that shit to the moon, and suddenly other people are talking about this opinion that only lives in a vacuum.

    IGN, PCGamer, RPS, Kotaku... they all live for this shit.

    Microsoft is ruining Windows. It just keeps getting worse. Whether it be their insistence on AI and cloud garbage, or just a general sense of incompetence, I can’t help but feel like the operating system has seen better days. Normally I wouldn’t care too much, big tech ruins another thing, whatever. But the problem is Microsoft has such a dominant market share that you can’t really escape them. I guess unless you use a Mac or something I don’t know.
