  • the civil rights movement has been incredibly whitewashed in US education. Americans were overwhelmingly against de-segregation, there was tons of violence against black Americans, and that violence was not solely committed by police officers.

    The Klan might seem like a relic of the past now, but the KKK was incredibly powerful during the 50s and 60s, to the point where in my home state, 1/3 of men were Klansmen and were a significant political bloc. They weren’t just voting in politicians that supported their vile views though, they were lynching people and burning crosses on lawns and shit.

    it’s so wild that she never wants to eat them. I’m eating them! I know it’s yummy! oftentimes it’s stuff with fish or chicken, which she knows the taste of! but never even goes for a nibble, just a sniff.

    Honestly quite happy that she’s very stupid. The only way she knows what food is, is if it is in her bowl.





  • yeah people don’t realize just how insidious advertisement really is.

    your phone isn’t “reading your mind,” advertisers have such a comprehensive model of you that they’re able to predict your thoughts with an incredibly high degree of accuracy before you even have them. There’s also obviously a bit of confirmation bias in play, you only remember the times they got it right as opposed to the times they guessed wrong.

    I mean, I think it’s fine as a gimmick for wealthy gamers, and it’s been at that level for awhile.

    As the future of gaming though? yeah, never gonna happen. M+KB is the best controlling scheme for tons of the genres I play, and controllers are great for a bunch of others. There’s actually not that many genres that are improved by full body motion tracking, they’re pretty much all first-person games, and they often turn a relaxing gaming session into a workout. It’s not that the technology isn’t there, it’s that the concept it’s fundamentally flawed.

    Yup, absolutely. I use Bottles to manage mine, and run it with ProtonGE. You can also use Lutris, but I recommend not using their auto-installer and setting it up yourself. The auto-installer is an old, broken community one.
