Structure/meme format: like with the "dominoes", one seemingly small thing can lead to much bigger things happening

Context: the 1970 book "The Wolf: Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species" popularized the hypothesis of the alpha, beta, and omega wolf, which has birthed all sorts of toxic and stupid bullshit that has harmed many humans, pets (especially dogs), and other animals.

The author, David Mech, has since tried to get the publisher to stop selling his erroneous book and basically dedicated most of his career to educating people on how wrong his most influential work was.

With the exception of bankable (and thus already rich) stars getting percentages as part of their contract, they've already been paid before the movie is released.

Whether or not you buy Dude, Where's My Car? has no effect on anyone who's not either the studio or stars who are paid a fortune already.

All labour, including cops

Cops aren't labour. They're the rabid guard dogs of the elites.

I think police unions becoming class un-conscious is the problem

Nah. They're fully conscious of which class they serve, to the detriment of everyone else.

Dissolve them

Yes.

make them better

Not really possible as long as they consist of cops.

As someone with an ø in my real name, I have had to explain it so many times 😮‍💨

Once, back when I was still on fb, some troll reported me for using a "fake" name based on it and I had to send fb a picture of my passport to reactivate my account 🤬

That's a rhetorical question, in case there's any doubt. I know the exact what and why of their bullshit.

 
 

Oh no! Such horrors!

In a contentious and misleading post on social media, JD Vance, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, launched an attack on Vice President Kamala Harris’s support for LGBTQ+ inclusivity. Vance falsely accused Algerian Olympic boxer Imane Khelif of being transgender, causing widespread condemnation and backlash from human rights advocates.

Another article that highlighs inherent flaws in the American legal system. How can this potentially be an actual lawsuit? How can "journalists" even entertain reporting on this?

Honestly I'm just posting to laugh at my fellow lemmings responses and watch see how the plaintiff is roasted for not gitting gud.

But, there is a real conversation here around continued ignorance of game development and the value of difficult games as a value proposition. Afterall, the person attempting to sue from did choose to purchase the games willingly knowing they're not for scrub casuals like themselves.

What do you all think, is difficulty gating content a real issue? Should dev's have some kind of legal requirement to appease players that can spec a build properly? Is it Thursday and I'm just looking for some easy laughs at a morons expense?
