Alpine Linux users are in shambles.

As someone who has done a lot of distro hopping in the past, I've found that going for a stable release that is widely used as a daily driver is superior for gaming than "gaming specific" linux distros, largely on the basis that the gaming distros have routinely had buggy UIs, driver issues, and a variety of unexpected and undesired behavioral problems tied to the array of "gaming adjacent" software installed, most of which you can install yourself with little to no effort and most of which you probably don't want or need in the first place.

The idea of a "Prison Architect" series of games is just conceptually wild to me. I wonder if in a hundred years this will have the same ring to it that a game like "Slave Plantation Architect" would have today. Just remarkably crass and tasteless.

I think the person you're responding to already knows that and the implication of "the bad things they've done" is that they mean "the bad things their nation has done." It's a problem that Japan (or more specifically, Japan's government throughout the years) seems to have more than other nations because it's historically made a big show of its status as the only nation to ever suffer the use of nuclear weapons, and has plenty of memorials and museums to remember the event, while militantly denying, internally and externally, its own history of incredible violence and cruelty towards neighboring countries.

What part of this is a meme?

Also it helps that Europe was completely fucking devastated by World War II and that the United States had more factories than everyone else combined and was outside of bomber range. We dominated the world economy afterwards for literal decades because of that. What we're seeing in the late 20th century/early 21st century isn't some fantastical economic decline solely attributable to policy decisions or the war on organized labor (although it's a contributor) - it's rebalancing.

You've missed out on literally nothing.

Genuine answer: annoying people who inject themselves into social circles in which they're unwelcome. And, no, I'm not defending bullying. I'm just explaining how it happens.

Elon had gotten away with blatant market manipulation so much he made the ultimate mistake: buying into his own bullshit. I'm absolutely convinced he didn't want to buy Twitter. He wanted to pump and dump. People think there's about to be a buyout so the price goes up in anticipation. He then shorts the stock with the plan of very publicly backing out of the deal and walks away with a couple hundred million. But for the first time ever he goes just too damn far and winds up in a scenario where he can be legally compelled to purchase the company. Now he's forced to eat shit and is saddled with what I can only imagine is the corporate equivalent of a pig in a poke.

"Once all the boomers are dead everything will be better!" Yeah, corporations will still rule your life, inflation will still outstrip income, you won't be able to afford a house, and your politicians will represent whichever special interest pays them the most. Also you won't ever be able to vote in progressive candidates because every year there's going to be some vile ghoul like Donald Trump, but somehow worse, and the Democrats just need you to close ranks and vote in whatever corporate liberal whose turn it is to sit in the Big House this time so a literal fascist doesn't get his finger on the button and attempts to dismantle what little democracy our republic has over night.

Grandma and grandpa being six feet under doesn't change these things. And, guess what...you probably won't change them either because you're too lazy and apathetic to do anything other than shitpost on the internet about how badly your life sucks.

To be fair, if we die, capitalism goes with us.
