You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. Current polling has major regions in russia polling 113% of the popular vote to putin. Do your research.

Yes, gift cards are gift cards. Gift cards, however, are not money as you can’t spend them anywhere.
Does it hold up after a rewatch?
And then it bleeds into the internet and communities for fans of the show/movie/game get overrun with people who just want to complain. Complaining gets more engagement than enjoying and the hate rises to the top. And I’m sitting here wondering again: Why don’t you just watch things you enjoy and then go lift weights and/or talk to someone (good friend or therapist)?

That was my plan. Are… are we not doing rhat anymore?
It’s fitting that someone who’s idea of a novel is 3 barely paragraphs would make an incredible amount of baseless assumption.
Comments like these are not only unhelpful, they hurt progress moving forward. Do you also apply this logic to domestic abusers (wouldn’t wife beaters just beat places you can’t see or use sexual assault? ), or speeders (won’t people just speed when no law enforcement are around?), or regular joe tax evaders? I’m going to assume not. It would be absurd to just thow up our hands and say “you know what? We’re never going to stop pedophilia, so lets put no laws or regulations in place to punish pedophiles.”
I’m not going to claim that the original commenter’s solution is perfect or even very effective, but if we do nothing (and comments like yours are encouraging doing nothing) then the percieved problem will gwt worse. We reward the bad behavior and the bad behavior continues and gets worse. Something needs to be done whether it’s perfect or not. If you’ve ever created anything, especially something to be used or enjoyed by others, you know your first draft of it is shit. There are so many things that you couldn’t see until you put the work into it or release it to others and that’s okay. You learn, you revise, you plug the holes, you scrap and implement something new, you continue the process. The “rule of thumb” didn’t stop abuse, but it was a step. We still haven’t stopped abuse, but a lot of us keep plugging along, trying to stop it in our own ways (at individual, local, national, and international levels).
If you do care about this and want to contribute, but don’t like the presented solution, offer up your own or maybe point to resources of those advancing a cause from a different angle. If you’re here to shit on ideas because you don’t care or are trolling and want to actively hinder discussion, you can fuck right off. If you are trolling I’m okay with the offchance the overall message is recieved by someone else who needs it.
This isn’t a pissing contest and no one is acting like this is unique. We saw the same excitement for the last 2 Zelda games, God of War, Spiderman, Elden Ring etc. (post more examples, I don’t pay as much attention to the industry anymore so I’m sure I’ve missed a bunch). Let’s celebrate them if that’s what you’d like to see more of. They’re all awesome and they all add to the evidence that there is a large population that still want to experience games this way.
My ex works for our state’s revenue department and they don’t give a fuck. The cases she would handle were honestly baffling how these people “made these mistakes”. They were either incredibly stupid or it was intentional tax fraud (it was intentional tax fraud). If you get tagged for an innocent mistake it seemed like an easy process to get out.
Hey man, they did the best they could with the minds they had available.
Why can’t it be both? These statements aren’t meant for us anyway.
We know it’s not all of you. Your generation also fought for civil rights, explored space, invented jogging I think.
We have shitheels in our generation too. And I fear they’ll become more and more prominent as we get older. I hope we’re able to dampen their greed and intolerance.
Me: well we can’t go out on a loss.
Also me: we can’t finish in the middle of this (1) win streak!
I’ve fallen asleep during this movie 3 times now. It can’t be that bad.

I disagree. It’s not tech news. Twitter or X losing a few subscribers to mastadon or threads is a Sunday. And on Monday we’ll get an article about people moving in the other direction. Distilling entire categories of news to one person or company makes us less informed, not more. We’re just echoing the same talking points back and forth at eachother.
I’m definitely not saying Elon or Twitter is NEVER tech news but, jesus, I don’t need or want to know about every tweet he makes and every shit he takes. I also don’t think these things shouldn’t be recorded in some way. But the magnitude it’s posted is straight up Elon worship whether you hate him or support him.
I do what I’m able and willing by downvoting items that aren’t news or discussion-worthy and not interacting with those comment sections but there is just so much. Is there a place to just read news about technology and not tech business tweets turned into “news” stories? This is a genuine question if someone has info.
Most of the chatter against it that I hear now is “parents pushing their kids to be trans” which, yes, that would be shitty but that simply isn’t the case. I live in a very trans friendly area of the US. A lot of parents have degendered clothes and toys so it’s pretty common to see male children in dresses and/or playing with dolls and female children with short hair and “boy” clothes (sorry I’m having a hard time coming up with an outfit that is quintessential boy). Do you know what the outcome is? Kids wearing clothes they like and playing with toys they like. They’re excited about the things they like because they have supportive adults in their life and they’re not forced to follow arbitrary societal rules.
Male children playing with dolls doesn’t mean they’re automatically trans. Parents aren’t having super intensive talks about gender reassignment when their female child is playing with trucks or is “more sporty” than other girls. Gender is simply talked about more fluidly and kids are supported in their constantly changing interests.
There’s something to be said for trying the wrong thing too. Learning something doesn’t work is just as valuable as learning something works. A lot of people (myself included) are afraid to fail so it’s easier to do nothing than to try and fail. I force myself everyday to get out there and fail because if I’ve been the loser who did nothing and that was far worse than failing.
