I refuse to parrot the phrase "corporations are people" unless I'm being clearly sarcastic, or add, "the shitty US supreme court has incorrectly ruled that" beforehand.

Well I'm hoping to live in a world where banks don't provide loans anymore. I'm demanding a better world than this nightmare that is unregulated capitalism in the US.

I'm demanding a better world than any economic system that incentivizes and rewards screwing each other over and hurting one another in a race to get ahead.

I disagree. While I will never forgive those voters, I don't think most of them are lost causes. They've been manipulated by the largest, most well-funded misinformation and propaganda campaign ever waged against the American people.

Exercising even the smallest amount of critical thinking skills protects oneself against most of it, but no one is completely immune to misinformation.

Yeah, and now that Musk is unpopular with conservatives, Trump will still use Musk to buy elections but we just won't hear about it (if they're smart).

Your conservative coworker should be tarred and feathered in the town square while being made to watch fact-based news for a change.

Edit: maybe not tar, as I now remember from school how that was exceptionally torturous and cruel. Super glue sounds like a good replacement.

Oh Brock Allen Turner, the rapist who now goes by Allen Turner?

Loans with interest rates above inflation are weapons. They are violence. Why should we all have to pay more than something is worth for our education, our transportation, our housing? Why are we paying directly for these things at all?

Government should be providing all this for its people. Higher education should be provided. Starter housing should be provided. Public transportation should be provided.

I don't think there is anything stopping nintendo from making 64GB or larger cartridges except the cost.

Thank you for the clarification!

I still don't like it.

So they essentially stuffed a download code into a physical cartridge to make people feel like they are getting something?

Isn't that needless and wasteful? Isn't it also going to trick unsuspecting people into buying something they think is a physical version of a game but isn't?

Maybe he doesn't know because he refuses to listen to anyone who criticizes him, banning them on Twitter and calling them paid actors in public events.
