FDR was pretty racist, he turned away Jewish refugees during WWII, condemning them to the holocaust and started the Japanese internment camps. But hey, he was a democrat so I guess it's ok.

Are you suggesting I'm calling him good for those reasons?

It's funny, because so many stores were forced to stay open during the shutdown, just to keep the economy running. I was one of the unfortunate workers during that era. Meanwhile, didn't the corporate overlords make obscene profits despite all this? That, I forget the fine details.

Well yea the whole idea of the shut down was stupid. People were still working, the lucky people who were out of work weren't staying home, they were all swarming the places still open. All the shut down accomplished was shoving more people into less places. If Trump had stuck to his guns and fought back against the fear mongers I'd have given him credit at this point, but he didn't he went along with the stupid shut down.

TopicWhat are your sincere thoughts on the Epic Games Store???
BlackScythe0
04/09/24 3:08:51 AM

Epic is objectively bad. Their only argument is "competition is good" but they don't even try to compete.

The epic store launched missing basic functionality, while they have made improvements and gotten it up to the basic point it should have launched with at no point have they tried to meet or exceed steam in any way shape or form. It is still inferior to steam because instead of trying to make a competitive service they've been trying to use their fortnite money to bribe developers into exclusivity deals (enraging) and giving people free stuff.

Epic is a cesspool of nft scams that has never turned a profit because steam is just better and is genuinely investing money into making the service better for consumers. They aren't perfect but steam is a service which has earned peoples business by putting in the proper effort. Epic has just been trying force or trick people into going on their service so they can get enough of a share from steam without doing the actual work.

The only thing I can say negatively about steam is Gabe is getting older and I'm genuinely concerned what direction valve will take when he steps down.

Says the guy who thinks all rich people have a Scrooge McDuck money pit.
While the richest people don't necessarily use their money wisely, that money is often in use which is why the claims are about "wealth" instead of just "money." If you look at a list of the wealthiest people, you'll quickly see that wealth is either in ownership of companies, stocks, and other possessions rather than just cash. In fact, some of the "wealthiest" individuals have historically been cash-poor at times.

Ah Zeus ignoring the point and fabricating an argument he wishes to respond to. I don't know how my comment can lead someone to a discussion of what liquid assets a person possess vs what is tied up in investments.

Right , they don't or can't use funds for wealth creation.

If you want them to do so , you'll need a better plan than just take away the wealth from others so there isn't as big of a disparity.

So was slavery , or Japanese internment during WW2, or any other transgression committed by the government of da people.

Just because it's legal by democratic vote ; doesn't mean it's moral, fair , or just.

Just imagine there do actually exist people who can post things like this and believe what they have said is perfectly reasonable and rational. How the fuck do these kinds of people exist?

It was never supposed to work. Only a moron would think "If we give all our money to the richest people in the nation they will use it wisely instead of just hoarding it"

Trickle down economics always has been and always will be a scam. Without making requirements of this money there is no reason it won't be hoarded or used to fund shipping more of our jobs overseas.

I don't think there is a "smartphone" monopoly given that Android exists and is #1 in mobile market share by a huge margin.

https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/worldwide

Sure, Apple is #1 in hardware for mobile phones, but it isn't like they are killing competition.

https://www.counterpointresearch.com/insights/global-smartphone-share/

Still under 25%.

In the us apple is around 60%, world wide android is dominant because it's basically all you can get in "poorer" countries.

Having been said I don't understand why the government is suing. My only guess is retaliation because apple won't give a backdoor to law enforcement?

On the rare occasion that I go into the office, my commute is currently 4 km (2.5 miles). If you take out the question of whether or not you can afford a home in a given location, living within 5 miles of work is only going to be a problem if your work requires you to go to multiple locations that are too far apart to fit them all within that radius.

Well I'm more taking it from the consideration that you can't count on one job for your entire life (usually). Yea it would be great if you found a place you loved, lived right beside it and they never went out of business of downsized you and you could work there until you retire... but I don't know how realistic that is for the majority of people given that statistics list most people only work the same job for roughly 4 years. This restriction will be prohibitive unless you can a) work online or b) rent out parts of the house.

Do you think this is anything approaching a competent argument? Yea Trump tried to enrich himself through blatant emoluments violation and diverting military flights to his properties... but the damage he did to his own reputation with how poorly he did his duties as president outweighed it. Yea presidents being wealthy when they take office and leaving even more wealthy is the norm, but it's Trumps own fault he lost wealth.
