Most countries are corrupt backwards dictatorships… So that might be the best standard to use.

Or through blackmail.

Is this a back channel so China can use North Korea as a loading bay for its trade with Russia, which the US recently warned it to stop.

So plausible deniability insurance.

“Hey look what we could do at six times the price point” isn’t a flex, it’s stupidity.

Like why not just release Apple brand Skis, or team up with Nike and make some shoes, or Jewelry if you want to do high priced stuff rich idiots pay for.

I’m not sure why they tried this.

‘We made a VR games headset, but replaced the games with office related programs, like calenders and notepads’

Did any of them ever use an Oculus Quest? Like, why did they try this? Is this Apple’s Google Glass moment? Did they really think that if you pay enough youtubers to wear it in public, normal people would magically go into car-level debt to emulate them?

In fact, I’ll go as far as to say this campaign and price point was a bigger mistake, and a louder failure than Google Glasses.

Windows 11 has been a big wake up call for consumers.

Get off the nationalist drugs.

Borrowing tactics from Russia.

Lems, lemmies, luna excursion modules, lemmos, lembians, lemwads… Anything but lemmings.

What I hear is that some European countries are leaning right on over-immigration and are voting on the basis of that issue.

Countries that aren’t going through that, aren’t voting right.

France and Germany were, so they went right. Portugal and Finland weren’t, so they went left.

Secret camps with abuses during a racially motivated genocide - remember Israel’s unofficial motto: “Never again to us…” - but they’re seemingly okay doing it to others.

I liked on IRC (internet relay chat) how all the moderator actions were announced - sometimes even globally.

It was always overt and obvious why someone was kicked or banned, for how long, and a reason was almost always given (even if it was a joking one liner just to piss off the person being kicked).

This (especially that last part) made it clear the mods were just people, it showed their work, and also showed how serious, fair, unfair, or political they were.

Hang around on an IRC channel long enough and you knew what mods were jerks, go to enough channels and you could find which were fair and had well measured rules, and which were just a circus for the mods to play politics in…

It allowed users to find their places, and their levels, and to see the precedents, standards, and who they could appeal to have bans reversed.

It was a lot more public than comments disappearing with no answers as to why, and not even being able to notice if users disappear from a community… Which is how things are on many platforms today.

Online multiplayer?

…and it’s all subconscious representations of feelings about the internet.

It makes some users into toilet brained idiots. Perverts looking to gorge themselves on internet filth.

It reveals people as political agents if governments.

It shows some are just “camera men” viewers, recorders, uploaders, and others are speakers trying to say something.

It questions what can be ridiculous in this new arena - if anything in an age defined by the scale of your “influence”… And how that causes our drama chips to go haywire.

The art style is known as Machinima, and dates back to the early 90s.

Humans actually have trouble saying things that aren’t meaningful - our subconscious tends to always have something to say due to always having to hold things back. It’s just who we are.

They why, it’s a verb now! You can why too.

Today’s tech business model:

First you get the power, then you extort the money.

I call them goo goo.

No, you’re just very confused. Have been ever since you started asking and answering yourself in this thread. Please stop.
