Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•[Video] Hasan Piker says he will vote 3rd party if the Democrats run an establishment candidate in 2028
11·7 hours agoMy lack of awareness about your effort shows that your effort sucks and you didn’t achieve shit. So the same way you criticize Democrats of not listening to you, I can criticize you for not being loud enough so they can hear you.

1·7 hours agoWhy would they try to play this game of pretending that a free market is a thing that can exist, when they can set whatever price they want. What are you gonna do, not buy shit?
Yeah, it absolutely isn’t

26·7 hours agoYou’re not getting a progressive because you aren’t trying. You can’t get enough people to win a popular vote once. DNC doesn’t even need to rig anything, the only people who actually do political activism are those “establishment democrats”.
Progressives either don’t do shit other than bitching on twitter, or there are so little of them so their effort is in vain. I don’t know what is worse. You can say what you want how primaries are “rigged” because delegates don’t do what you personally don’t want them to do, but fact of the matter is, Bernie also lost the popular vote quite definitively.
In the history of DNC, there was only one time when delegates didn’t chose the same candidate as the people, and that was when Obama lost the popular vote to Clinton by almost 1%.
The software that you don’t open yourself shouldn’t behave like that, and “just uninstall it” isn’t an appropriate answer here. It shouldn’t be normalised, it should be ridiculed and criticized.
because I have to log into steam to access them.
You only need to log into steam once to download it. After that you can go offline forever, and, unless I’m missing something, the game will always be playable.
You can always make your case. IT doesn’t want an additional headache of dealing with another infrastructure, but a lot of the time they will be OK if you will convince them that you will deal with your weird shit on your own.
Sure, quite often there are weird security problems, sure, sometimes there is no way to use necessary software on Linux, but just as often there isn’t, and you just need to convince them that you know what you’re doing.
My whole life it was a common knowledge that Windows alternates between OK and worst shit imaginable. 95 was shit, 98 was passable. ME was terrible, XP was OK. Vista was dogshit, 7 was all right. 8 was cancer, 10 was functional. 11 was doomed from the beginning, and it’s weird that some people don’t know this.

The official reddit app is a vomit-inducing pile of antipatterns, I hate it so much I don’t use reddit while on the phone at all, which made me use it almost never. Now I need to escape this hellhole and my life will be so much better

politics @lemmy.world•The Actual Gavin Newsom Is Much Worse Than You Think
22·3 days agoPopular vote reflects how people who actually vote think. Candidates aren’t appearing out of thin air, they’re nominated as the result of political campaigns.
You can’t shift the blame for candidates to ambiguous “them” if you didn’t get your ass to try to affect it in any way. The delegates represent pretty nicely the opinion of people who actually vote in Primaries, with almost perfect track record. They don’t represent your opinion because you don’t vote therefore don’t have an opinion. So you don’t get to complain about what party that you’re not in is doing. Want it to change? Use the ways to change it. Those ways aren’t hidden from you, aren’t secret, aren’t gatekeeped by a shadow cabal, you just need to do politics about it. People who get their candidates elected do that.

politics @lemmy.world•The Actual Gavin Newsom Is Much Worse Than You Think
55·3 days agoIn the history of Democratic party, there was exactly one time where the candidate that the DNC chose, actually lost a popular vote. Exactly one.
It was in 2008, when a young, generational candidate actually lost the popular vote by 1% to the (kinda boring) establishment choice, but was chosen anyway.
It’s nice to have this simplistic worldview, when “they” control everything anyway so you don’t have to do anything and just complain when “they” don’t do what you want. It’s harder to confront the reality when “they” actually consist of all the people around you, and the only reason you don’t get what you want is because you don’t do shit.

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•[Video] Hasan Piker says he will vote 3rd party if the Democrats run an establishment candidate in 2028
33·3 days agoThe time to criticize Democratic party is when you run, support, canvas for a better candidate, (better candidate in the framework of Democratic party, since US is a two-party system at the moment). If you’re doing nothing for a year and just start shitting on the party when it’s close to elections, you’re a willing on unwilling conservative supporter, it’s simple as that.
If you believe that you will be able to just get third party going, not only you’re braindead, you actually don’t care about lives of other people, and optics are more important than people to you, which makes you a bad person with bad morals.
If you just sit around, waiting for a good candidate to materialise before your eyes, you’re just braindead.
That’s why Dems only run establishment boring candidates and don’t want to change anything, because their support is steady and consistent.
Not really, the autorotation makes the blades behave like a parachute, so you can also glide down gently. You need blades to be heavily damaged for it to fall down like a stone, same with planes when the wings fall off.

11·3 days agoThat’s not how capitalism works. What will happen in this case, bigger players that don’t want to lower their prices will run you out of business using a bunch of dirty tactics, bankrupt you twice over, and continue selling shit for as much as they can get away with.
Capitalism might be a good idea on paper, but this naive shit never actually works on practice, every time they build it, instead of self-regulating free market working for people, it devolves into this hell where practically monopolies divide the market and squeese everyone dry
You should try it now, they made it into so much more than promised it’s actually insane, and they keep going



People are paralysed by the lack of monopoly, choice makes them feel unwell. Also, all the tech names are as stupid as the language permits them to be, some are worse
