How can someone claim to be a capitalist if they’re still eating every day?

I still find it funny that Steve Ballmer called Linux communism lmao

VRChat femboys be like

thats about what i thought itd be like lmao thanks for the reply

Sometimes reality really is stranger than fiction. Pavlov VR has a take on this city that my friend and I play on a lot. I always wondered how people travel here. Cool post

the overwhelmingly large majority of people want to use

you state this as fact yet my experience has been that people hate using windows for its UI on handhelds and only tolerate it because everything’s made for it. that’s not a shining point for windows, quite the opposite.

the steam deck surpassed a million devices sold - so while over 50% of people probably still want windows, i wouldn’t say its an “overwhelming” majority. tons of people clearly like valve’s take on linux even despite its limitations

never fails to amaze me how “progressive” types do a complete 180 as soon as someone mentions solving the homeless problem by giving them homes

edit: i rest my case

Technically yes, because half of all privately owned guns in the US are owned by 3% of people according to this CNN article. So while there are more guns than people in the US, legislation to regulate them would mostly affect a minority of the population.

That being said, you’re right that a lot of the problem with gun violence has to do with external factors such as poverty and extreme nationalism. An overwhelming majority of mass shooters are male and less overwhelmingly white which hints at a problem more to do with the environments they are raised or live in. If the problem was stricly gun access, we should expect more mass shootings to have been committed by women. In addition, half of all mass shootings in the US have occured since 2000, a third of which since 2010.

The rise of mass shootings seem to coincide with the rise of more general nationalist violence moreso than increased gun access, however more guns are being manufactured now than ever. I think the problem that needs addressed more is the public perception and marketing around guns and gun culture, because the past couple decades have seen people own guns more for the “tough guy” fake masculinity reasons rather than actual practicality. For further evidence to back myself up, pickup truck sales have risen in a similar way. Pickup trucks are marketed in almost the same way minus the whole potentially killing people part, not that they haven’t also been used in mass violence though.

A lot of gun regulation tends to target poor people too, intentionally or not. Tax stamps, fees and mandatory wait times assume someone has the money and ability to take time off to acquire a gun, and wealthy people (the ones who already own most guns) have both. Making it harder for poor people, who are disproportionately black, to arm themselves in a time where racist violence is hitting record highs and stories about police brutality hit front pages every week at least, is unfair.

For now

All good I’m just one of those people that has an itch to interject with barely relevant context in a lot of discussions lmao

Nah fuck this go back to the old site

capital R Reddit user shit right here

not to be that guy (i definitely am) but philosophy is political, just less obviously so

as someone who sees both .world and hexbear users in this thread its kinda funny seeing how stark a difference the reaction to the meme is

To be fair, the only reason Godot can’t port to consoles as easily as Unity is for licensing reasons. Console manufacturers don’t want their console build code released as open-source under MIT like Godot is, so that’s all relegated to third-party services/plugins

1. Yes, not a great as Unity but it’s still pretty good especially after they switched to Vulkan over OpenGL. VR performance still could use some work though.
2. Yes, PBR materials are fully supported. Actually one of the earlier things in 3D that was implemented, and then imoroved
3. Yes, now I don’t know if HAVOK has a Godot plugin but there is a Jolt physics plugin that’s designed to be plug-and-play, with a few exceptions (it doesn’t suppory soft bodies afaik)

Fair enough, also I meant TPM and security as a good thing if that wasn’t clear (you might’ve known that tho, i suck at reading tone via text.)

social constructs aren’t totally fake, they’re made “real” by social reinforcement. for example, in the 1940/50s it was expected of women that they were “weak”, and many who went out of line (by speaking up to their husbands, protesting, etc) were punished by being beaten or worse. the feminist and trans rights movements seek to eliminate the old roles and stereotypes assigned to gender to get rid of the real-world retaliation towards those deemed inferior. in contrast, those who seek to reinforce the old ways continue these systems of abuse.

7 downvotes but I don’t get where you’re wrong. Maybe the fact that Windows 11 requires TPM and some other security features? But the rest of the OS pretty much went down in terms of quality.

💪💪💪GODOT STAY WINNING💪💪💪

Huh. Yeah I’m not getting them either, and after looking into my other feeds that do have images it looks like those are either video preview images or links to articles, so I guess it doesn’t support native reddit image uploads maybe?
