@210LG So who pushes this again? Tell me the process. Who complains, who listens, what stops them from ignoring the crazies like Dave Chappelle does one letter of the "alphabets"?

If you ever start to doubt yourself, just remember that there are grown adults out there crying about a female video game character’s cleavage.

I'd be squatting out in those cheap gaming cafes. About all I can afford for a 360 in Japan, if anyone there has a fetish for western junk.

@DocSavage45899 @Spoon_town Ngl I wish that the real thing was as easy as it seems to be in FH6 « oh hey welcome to Japan let me give you an S14 and the keys to my grandparents house with a 3 door garage »

Alright, I'm gonna say it. Forza Horizon is a racing franchise for people who don't like racing but think that they do. Shuttering Turn 10 and abandoning a beautiful racing sim like Motorsport for its cartoony cousin is just another symptom of the malignant nature of capitalism.

> be Forza Horizon > starts as a spin-off nobody asked for > new country every 2-3 years > FH3, FH4, FH5 - 91, 92, 92 Metacritic in a row > FH5 - 10 million players week one > biggest Xbox launch ever. a racing game. > Japan requested since 2012. 14 years of silence > Microsoft accidentally leaks the full game on Steam > modder streams it without blurring his name > banned until December 31, 9999 > launch day - 273,000 Steam players > record for any racing game in history > 6 million players in 72 hours Forza went from unwanted spin-off to the most consistent franchise in gaming and nobody talks about it.

@its_seiba @Spoon_town Might be truth here. Same deal with arcade hardcores. News for them, the best sim in the world ain't nothing like the real thing.
English
@Spoon_town Shut up, this kind of comment is why people don’t get into sim racing in the first place. You guys just want everything to be hardcore so it justifies your $10k dollar fanatec setup and iRacing subscription.
English
@Spoon_town Weird take. It's an arcady thing, nothing serious in it, you race jets ffs. Is Outrun for faux racing fans? Is Burnout?
English
@DieinPlace Always been like that, remember when the creative class told blue collars "learn to code"? And than a lot got laid off, and never learned to code.
English
Because it's okay to eliminate blue collar workers but not creatives. It's a weird delineation we make in this area.

@NatureGirl_21 I never had this problem, but I was totally taught. We're social creatures, we absolutely learn. better in a tribal context. Look at pro gamers, the top dogs were at the arcades, not sitting at home grinding.
English
Its still just an excuse though.
Boo hoo, noone taught you. So what? You're just going to accept that instead of learning?
Lauren Chen@TheLaurenChen
Relevant to the debate on dining out is how few young people know how to cook. It's actually shocking. And while we can laugh at Gen Z for this, we should also ask why their parents never taught them. My eldest is my sous chef and has helped me in the kitchen since she was 2.

@BLACKHOLE_0 @CatholicAce @xximenamora @ma1ybe She's a therapist. She gets to be as proud of her cultural background as anyone, the bad actors don't get to define her.
English
@BLACKHOLE_0 @CatholicAce @xximenamora @ma1ybe My therapist, she says she's Iranian, and that bugs me because it's not something she should have to defend. People are people. How do you think it feels if a bunch of Americans or Israeli's went after her over HAMAS?

Fun fact: It is typically illegal to sell a puppy younger than 8 weeks old because it’s considered cruel to separate it from its mother, but unfortunately corporate America expects women to return to work 4 weeks after giving birth.
🦢@damnidc__
This is so sad.
English
@BLACKHOLE_0 @CatholicAce @xximenamora @ma1ybe Not telling you to ease it back, do what you think is right totally. Just something I learned, lots of times it's less white hats vs black hats, more like a "game of thrones" where one sides better at hiding it. The good people, they're usually the ones JFK'd.
English
@BLACKHOLE_0 @CatholicAce @xximenamora @ma1ybe Ok, not gonna name communities, but one distinguished member caught another "pizza gating", reported to the police. The community retaliated against the reporter, one threw bleach in his face. Papers even called him "eccentric", as if protecting kids is loony toons.

@AbstractZys @Stugs People enjoy watching chess grandmasters take apart a room of masters, yet act bored when Crafty does it. Clearly luddites.
English
your ai slop steals from other artists and it takes only a few seconds meanwhile a good painting or drawing takes time and actual effort.
Jamian Gerard@JamianGerard
the hypocrisy is baffling
English
@DudesCentral @Stugs Answer; than there wouldn't be a push to discredit "malcontents". Clearly, people DO care.
English
Hypothetical question. I agree with you human art is better
Just humor my question please.
What if
People didnt care about hard work that got put into things?
What if nobody cared how a burger is made at McDonald's or who makes it?
What if people did care aboht how a burger was made at a luxury restaurant by a chef that'll craft it to perfection?
What if ai makes art in the future mass produced and in the future we get a "dollar menu" for art?
Which company has more money McDonald's or a 5 star restaurant? Why? Cause its cheap acceptable garbage that people know it and dont care?
What if people didnt care about the hard work of art?
Curious of your thoughts?

@elonmusk We also dehumanize others, all the time. By religion. By social status. We kill, all the time, over petty disputes. We reduce entire populations to a "theory".
English
@elonmusk You'd need specifics, but I'd argue there are entire libraries of moral, philosophical, and socio-political thought we might agree with, yet abandoned. Are we going to pretend hoarding money at the expense of the masses is somehow ethical? We put money over human life.

@Pflxck @dstibbe @AyakaMods And to be clear, I happen to know and love many lawyers. They act in good faith, something too many lawyers do NOT do. Most see it their duty to "game the system". To twist and contort intent to get their way. They are generally scum.
English
@Pflxck @dstibbe @AyakaMods When I say "lawyer mentality", I'm talking about the same sleezeball mentality that Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. used to chemically castrate a woman in state custody. Or argue the commerce clause justify's a ban on wheat grown in your own back yard.

Google just permanently banned a manga artist’s entire Google account, just for uploading his own old manga files to Drive.
AI moderation triggered and flagged it, he tried to submit appeal then he got rejected it by Google and now he has lost everything like Gmail, Drive, all linked services is gone.
He never even sharing the files publicly, it’s only backing up his own a private work like any creator and artists.
This is Google Drive “AI moderation” in action. No human support and no serious to take action.
Physical storage or real private alternatives only.
Support the artists getting screwed by this. This level of corporate overreach is insane.

ところで恥を忍んで告白するのですが、私、Googleから垢BANされました。昔描いた漫画のデータをドライブにアップしている時に警告が出て、再審査請求も却下され、見事垢BAN。 まじで、困るよ。いろんなサイトやサービスにGoogleアカウントを使っていたので。 良い子のみんなには関係ないかもしれないけど、「俺、良い子…かな？」って人は気をつけてくれよな！

@AnAverageGamerX Boomers totally packed lunches though. They're a HUGE demographics. Much of my family worked USPS, 6 day weeks, 14 hours shifts, packed lunches the norm.
English
Im starting to understand why boomers do what they do. Younger gen are too busy strugglemaxxing & having a struggle off to realize boomers werent packing lunches.
They actually made fun of the mfs who packed their lunches to work & those people ate alone while the office went out

@jonWalk49263541 @PlaybookCollect @denimneverdies That's a different conversation. All I'm saying, is the idea that supply and demand ensures most won't get priced out isn't really how it works. You can totally end up in a scenario where most can't even afford basic needs.
English
@DocSavage45899 @PlaybookCollect @denimneverdies Yeah and how did they achieve those profits in that situation? I mean what, do you think all their decisions will be profitable?
English
They're so fucking myopic it's ridiculous. What happens to a consumer based economy when people can't afford to consume? When businesses like restaurants can't turn a profit because nobody can afford to eat there? This is how these people are wrecking everything
