So vote for Republicans because while the outcomes are worse, at least they aren't pretending they are going to make things better? You've made it clear why you think people absolutely shouldn't vote for Democrats, but haven&

I'm not sure "make sure kids have food" rises to the level of "perfection" when it comes to measuring society. But in my opinion if we try and make life comfortable and easy for everybody, it will break the rest of

As for books that haven't fallen apart from being used as intended and merely are no longer desired, my local library generally sells them off at bargain prices. What happens when the books don't sell?

Careful, accurately portraying these people's crimes will likely get you downvoted and flagged, unfortunately. It's sad, but there's likely people here who support what happened. This type of "you can't downvote m

If we are taking that attitude why not go all the way? Titles are standard clickbait.

Why do Windows users ignore the faults of Windows? How many people care about support for Red Alert 2 and OG Xbox controllers on Windows 11 (assuming either of these truly don't work) versus people who care about the ability to play

And besides, as far as I know (well, maybe I'm missing something?), anti-cheat issues aren’t a fault of Linux itself. Issues with anti-cheat aren't Linux's fault (the one to blame), but they are a fault (undesired attribute

I haven't tried out Lutris yet as I'm trying to avoid having too many layers of platform dependencies just to get games to run, but I'm sure I will at some point.

You can have a message and point of view, but don't put activism over comedy. The "joke" in this case is people's reactions to school shootings. And people's reactions haven't changed, so I don't see why

Doesn't YC have some code of conduct or legal/ethical guidelines? Regardless of any claims of having this, I would say this behavior aligns with what I have seen over the last couple decades. I'm more surprised that other p

Cheating still exists and will always exist in online games. Sure, but you still have to make a serious attempt or the experience will be terrible for any non-cheaters. Or you just make your game bad enough that no one cares. That's
