That would hopefully prevent a bad government, but I’m not sure how to actually resolve the ideological issue. People who hold those beliefs won’t stop believing them. At least not quickly.
I’m not sure how you would make them see reason and reduce extremist beliefs. Otherwise, we’re just constantly trying to deal with a sick population
Man, it’s been wild seeing fascism growing over the past decade. I mean, it was always around, but it’s really gotten worse. The trouble is I have no idea how you would even begin to resolve the issue.
Like you have people wanting to kill American liberals (which is hilarious because politically the American democrats are not even close to being leftist or the big boogieman, “communist”).
It really seems like you have a very large group of uneducated and violent people who think Trump will allow them to fulfill their fantasies of control over others. The pain in the ass is that their ideology is spreading globally.
I was shocked to find out that all his crimes apparently don’t disqualify him from running for/being president again. Like what?
You would think there would be like… some laws or something.
So this is something I’ve recently realized that I’ve been experiencing. I still vote in my countries elections and stuff. But I’ve realized I’m starting to get fatalistic ideas. I feel like, in a sense, I’m losing hope for a better future. In my own personal life I can’t seem to get ahead financially.
I used to wonder why some people would just completely throw in the towel when it came to politics and I’m starting to maybe understand how they could get there. It scares me for my own well being as i feel like im maybe giving up on the idea of finding a better job/having better footing in my life. But yeah I’m at a loss at the moment.
I hope that things get better for everyone sooner rather than later
I really hope for the sake of North America that they don’t vote Trump in again.
Like sure the current situation isn’t great. But holy hell was it bad with Trump lol. In Canada it made a ton of bad actor politicians come out of the woodwork and copy his play book. So his behavior is spreading.
Crunchyroll started as a pirate site didn’t it?
I was annoyed by this as well. Account went poof and I assume they would want me to pay again for Java? Shitty business practice
One thing that I recently saw being mentioned is that xbox 360 backups and downloads are hard to find and that the scene is pretty quiet. I have no idea how true this is as I haven’t personally checked, but I would be concerned about that.
I suppose the demand isn’t there yet? Maybe it’ll take a while before people start to get into it more. I just hope that in the future, we figure out ways to make newer consoles more accessible, especially as companies attempt to shift towards digital downloads, etc.
I don’t really see an issue either way. I think we all try to justify piracy in our own ways, and ultimately, people either take a black and white stance or some shade of grey.
In my personal opinion, I try not to pirate things from small creators. When I do pirate, I usually end up supporting them in some other way, shape, or form.
Educational material I think should be free or very cheap. Education should be available to everyone regardless of their social or economic status. Those textbooks that those publishing companies charge hundreds of dollars for are a prime example. The companies are leeches.
This kind of feels like every work day. Except I can’t use the pc for fun. Lol help me :')
+1 on roms and Doom. Maybe the sims. Tbh I’m not too familiar with that generation of PC gaming. There’s probably a lot I don’t know about
I don’t know where I would draw the line…I guess if the content creator is small I would prefer to support if I can.
Generally speaking I don’t pirate much. The main thing is probably anime/manga but that’s due to accessibility/quality issues. But I end up buying merch usually so I guess I’m supporting in other ways.
I think the only other thing I’ve pirated in recent years is the sims 4 because holy moly their pricing is insane. Oh I guess also 3ds/wiiu games now that the shop went down
This is what I’ve tried to remind myself of when I’m debating purchases. Usually I’ll wait to buy something on a steep sale or second hand. Or I’ll pirate it if I think the company is doing something shitty. But at the end of the day someone, somewhere down the line is getting screwed over. It all floats up to the top. There’s no trickle down
Ubisoft is allegedly closing accounts that are inactive for a period of time, regardless if they have purchases on them or not.
I’m not sure if this is a recent change or if Ubi has come out with an official statement. This is just what I’ve seen going around today
This seems like a bad idea
Just trying to get the NRA back on their side prior to election
