  • It’s gotten so bad, I expect the next WW2 era first person shooter won’t be having a Russian campaign this time.

    The next? Call of Duty: WWII already came out six years ago and only had an American campaign lol

    It was honestly pretty hilarious how hard that one went into “America won WWII” territory when previous WWII ones were pretty good about showing how other countries made the bigger contributions (even with them still having biases and propaganda), most of them had a Russian campaign too




  • An example of things working as they should could be found in microprocessors. ARM design almost all of the processors in our phones

    This is especially hilarious because the whole reason RISC-V has been developing rapidly is because the ARM monopoly isn’t an example of things working as they should, and companies want an alternative











  • Also, a lot of people seem to think that being a kid means that you just play videogames or whatever all day

    Other people have commented on the more important points, so I’m gonna add to this one

    The biggest reason a lot of kids do nothing but “stay home and play video games all day” is because they literally have nothing better to do, the car-dependent suburbs that are very common in North America (which are often considered “great places to raise children”) leave kids with an inability to do anything (such as hang out with friends or go to public places) without their parents driving them around, so if their parents won’t/can’t do that then there’s nothing really else to do than just stay home, so the kids can’t have any real “freedom” until they become old enough to drive

    As well, kids often aren’t even allowed to be given any level of independence these days, with things as simple as “a kid being outside on their own” (even just within their family’s property, if the neighbors are being narcs) being something that can be reported to the police and the parents potentially losing custody over

    It’s okay though, we’re totally not a dystopian police state, right? /s

    I think this video has good info on this





  • Yep! I was there when they were exposed for that, it was even other admins who were revealed to be sockpuppets lol, and when exposed they admitted which accounts were sockpuppets, including a large number of accounts not even suspected to be such

    Can’t forget that they used those alts to vote in the site’s “democratic” polls for admin decisions too, since the site originally had the policy of user-driven direct democracy for major admin decisions (which they quietly dropped after the sockpuppets were exposed lmao)

    During my time on that site, I was harassed by a decent number of accounts for being an ML (including them successfully voting to remove me as mod from the damn ML sub for making an ML post lol) and it was surprisingly refreshing to find out that literally all of them were just that one admin’s sockpuppets lmaoooo

    Only thing I miss from that site was its custom CSS feature, that was implemented pretty well, and a theme I made for it was good enough that the admin kept using it for a while even after they drove me away lol
