They very explicitly didn’t run over anyone with tanks. No one but Adrian Zenz has ever claimed that and you will not find a source that is not Adrian Zenz suggesting that they did.

Not really no. Last election they didn’t happen, the election before that they didn’t really happen as popular candidates for totally no reason whatsoever dropped out and endorsed Biden until he became the only one you were allowed to vote for, the election before that DNC super-delegates removed all choice in the primary, the election before that didn’t have a primary.

It’s been two decades since the democratic party has had a fair primary process. The median voter wasn’t allowed to vote last time anyone had any hope of a choice in who the democratic presidential candidate was.

There are more words in my sentence.

They’ve won more elections than democrats recently.

Ignoring the wants and agency of the globe is not incompatible with ‘policing’ the globe, especially given the style of American ‘policing’ is killing random fishermen and triple tapping girls schools.

And who cares about a large chunk of your population that is apparently powerless and too pathetic to do anything to stop the war crimes the US has been committing every single day of every single year since its founding.

Unfortunately unlike previous decades, you Americans don’t get to ignore the other 98% of humanity. Welcome to the century of American humiliation. You chose it, you live with the consequences.

Most people on here, outside of the far-right of lemmy.world, use liberal to mean… liberals. and neoliberals. Aka most democrat and republican politicians, and the current status quo of the western world; aka the single most destructive force in world history.

How is it every single nazi turns out to be a pedophile? It’s truly magical how you can guarantee that if someone is this far right-wing, they like to fuck kids.

Are you going to memorize the carry, transport, and self-defense laws of every state on your route?

Are you going to be paying the attorney’s fees on behalf of your trucking company and your client and both of their insurance whom all will be sued by any survivors or their families when you shoot someone?

This will be controversial given the “that’s not true communism according to my 170 year old theory book” crowd that sometimes permeates western leftists like a disgusting plague; but Xi Jinping. He’s released 6 or so books, he has a literal Doctorate in Marxism, and has documented China’s success and failures in its strive towards communism, including very good answers for every single criticism western Do-Nothing marxists have towards China’s Dengist reforms and their incredible economic success.

Starfield kinda killed positive views of Bethesda. Fallout 76 shortly before that essentially eliminating most of the good will they had.

Beyond the technical failures inherent to those titles, even more so than the average Bethesda title, the writing, the story, the atmospheric story telling were all just… bad. Not a single glimmer of what made Skyrim or their previous titles great could really be found. Fallout 76 felt like the most obvious and pathetic cash grab in game release history, being practically unplayable for the first six months of its life… which for an online game is ridiculous; and Starfield legitimately felt like what a dev team that were fans of Skyrim might produce. It felt like a third-party rip off of Bethesda’s style.

Don’t get me wrong both games have their fans, and honestly the hate is overrated as both games are competent, they’re just not good. They’re just not Bethesda games.

Add onto that the fact it’s been 15 years since a significant elder scrolls title was released; because let’s face it no one remembers Blades, ESO is its own thing entirely, and I had to actually google ‘elder scrolls card game’ to remember wtf Legends was called; and you have a recipe for absolute disappointment. Most of the people that worked on Oblivion and Skyrim are gone from the company. The new batch have not made a popular game in that time besides Fallout 4, which is still viewed by half the fallout fan base as the worst fallout game despite Fallout Tactics existing.

The negative outlook is because we aren’t likely to get more of what we like. Especially given Todd Howard’s obsession with using AI. This is much more likely to be a corpse wearing the skin of a beloved franchise than anything worth playing, all for the low-low price of $80+ USD, if not $100+ USD.

Why did communism?

The actual definition of capital. By the people that invented the term. A resource that is rented to another in exchange for part or all of the value generated by that resource. The Linux Foundation, being a non-profit, does not own any capital whatsoever, otherwise they would lose their non-profit status.

Linux, in fact, does not exist under capitalism. The Linux Foundation does not own capital. It does not pay taxes. Value is neither rented nor extracted from the workers who fully retain all ownership of the labor value of the product of Linux. The same way a commune can exist despite capitalism also existing, it does not mean that commune exists under capitalism.

FOSS cannot exist under capitalism, as it is quite literally the definition of Marxist Praxis. Linux is quite literally the single most wide spread and successful example of communist production in world history. It is, by its very existence, a “social warrior” project.

You can add any gog game to steam and run it through whatever proton compatibility layer you would like. The Heroic launcher and Lutris both also allow this.

Sweating your balls off in the summer almost makes you wish for a New Vegas Remaster.

They finally got him.

It’s saying the quiet part out loud. Marriage as a concept for ‘love’ or ‘relationships’ is an incredibly native, relatively brand new view. Especially in terms of Christian marriages. Marriages are for exactly one thing historically: economically linking families, which almost always has involved having children. The entire reason the bible supports marriage at all is because it had been a multi-thousand year old societal standard to join families and ensure the continuation of the family line in some way.

This attitude has of course been carried forward in conservative and regressive ideologies, since that’s the idea they want to get back to; they want to abolish non-financially productive marriages.

Teflon, or PTFE, is a type of PFAS, and is the most famous and most numerous contaminant in that family and the most likely contaminant to cause PFAS-related cancers in the developed world.
