Well, I certainly do look at him in wonder.

Well, keep saying it because you’re right.

They also won’t result in anything other than US disengagement. Ukraine won’t surrender just because Trump says so. And neither will Poland and the Baltic states, and because of that the EU as a whole won’t.

It won’t even end the war. It’ll just make America look weak.

Two minutes (and you’re being very optimistic here, for someone who isn’t technically inclined it’s almost certainly going to be more) of required reading on a subject that’s just not even remotely interesting to 99% of people eliminates basically all non technical people. Because they just don’t care enough to devote that time. If that’s the user base you want, that works out, but I’d like people here who can hold a conversation about something other than Linux and Star Trek. It’s honestly kinda boring here.

There won’t be a hanging, nor any other form of execution. We don’t do that here. It’s uncivilised, it’s brutal, and it’s unnecessary.

There’s zero indication that OP is ordering delivery often, so I’m not sure why you have jumped to that conclusion?

Besides, whether or not ordering delivery often depends on what you’re ordering and on your disposable income. McDonald’s is far from the only option, plenty of real restaurants offer delivery too these days. If you can afford it, you can probably eat a fairly healthy diet even if you never cook. Not for me, in no small part because I usually enjoy cooking, but I’m not gonna judge people who don’t. Doesn’t affect me, I’m not gonna go out of my way to be annoyed.

And sometimes you’re too tired for that or want something you can’t reasonably make at home. There’s nothing wrong with ordering food.

Oh for the love of fuck. Americans. Your country isn’t the centre of the universe. It doesn’t matter where a company’s headquarters are. If you are doing business in, for example, Germany, you have to abide by German laws. Being American isn’t an excuse and it doesn’t shield you from consequences for breaking the law.

Also, the big issue is that Valve isn’t actually using their right to refuse service. People can spread all sorts of bigotry via Steam’s discussions and groups without Valve acting on it. They’re providing a platform for hate speech and that is inherently immoral, regardless of what the law says.

Valve also does business outside the US. American law doesn’t clear them of their legal obligations in other countries. And besides, legality and morality are not always the same. Providing a platform for hate speech is supporting hate speech, and as far as I’m concerned that’s unethical regardless of whether or not it’s legal.

And ultimately they’re still Valve’s responsibility. If you provide a platform, you’re responsible for what people do on it.

Really? Because in my experience you have to wade through racist, homo- and transphobic, and misogynistic shit the second you foolishly open the discussions page on any game that features black or brown, LGBTQIA, and/or female characters.

I used to have downstairs neighbours like that and I loved it, free underfloor heating, I just opened the windows when I felt it got too warm. Saved me a good bit of money because I basically didn’t have to heat at all.

Merz is going to form a coalition with the SPD and/or the Greens. We’re going to get another 16 years of stagnation, not the fall of the republic.

All I did was point out that no, the Steam Deck isn’t the best deal for everyone. Chill.

But since I’m back here already, if you’re trying to sell me the Steam Deck as a Playstation 5 Pro replacement I’d expect visual parity with at least the regular PS5, at comparable framerates. Which I know the Deck isn’t capable of. It isn’t a replacement for a stationary console or PC because that’s not what it’s designed to be. It’s primarily a handheld, designed to compete with other handhelds.

And I wasn’t going to go there but ease of use is also a major point in favour of the Playstation because you won’t have to deal with “getting around” things, ever.

Different people have different use cases which are best served by different devices.

Not always and not for everyone. If you want to output a decent quality image to a TV to play on the couch, then the Steam Deck isn’t exactly a great choice because it can’t really do that, it struggles to maintain playable framerates in modern games at its own native resolution, nevermind a TV’s (either 1080p or increasingly often 4k). If all you play is older and/or indie games it might still work fine, but it’s not a one size fits all.

More, and that’s assuming you can ever build momentum. I wasn’t defending the choice.

Because fixing something from the inside takes work and time. And it’s not like it wasn’t happening (as much as I’m not a fan of it because I actually am one of the evil liberals people here love to complain about), people like AOC or Tlaib would never have been prominent voices ~20 years ago. But generational change happens over a timespan of, and I feel that it’s very odd that I need to point this out, generations.

Really? I find spelling out “national socialist” much more impactful than using “Nazi” simply because it isn’t generally used as casually (like in “grammar nazi” etc).

Germany, zero minutes. Postal voting ftw!
