The issue is that under our current economic model consumption always has increase because revenue and growth for businesses is essential and CEOs are mandated by law to increase shareholder value as much as possible. While the number of people will and is decreasing, the ammount each individual will consume will have to rise so much as to increase overall despite the smaller number of consumers.

That, or the system, as it currently stands, will collapse - degrowth means recession and our society isn’t built to embrace recession yet.

Not an American, but yikes does this have “Vote with us… Or else!” vibes.

That’s not to say I support Trump, but I personally don’t think this is the way to convince fence-sitters at all.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo

Don’t make it triple A, make it indie or at least from a smaller studio. It will be more of the same slop with nothing innovative if it’s AAA :(

“Angry bitter pathetic woke feminist betraying the white race by refusing to grow up, who actually wants to have kids but is too ugly to attract even a beta cuck”

God I feel filthy just writing that, I can’t imagine how people are okay thinking things even a quarter as nasty as that.

I like the way you’re thinking

If Reddit pulls these kinds of moves two more times or so, I’m 100% certain Lemmy will have all the niche communities you’d ever want. This place is much better!

From what I’ve seen, there’s a big divide amongst the tankies. There are those who are basically Stalin MAGA, base their political opinions on Soviet aesthetics and don’t consider much the practical implications of their actions. Some simply lash out against mainstream liberal ideology and others are just trolls.

Ane the other camp is made of people who read a lot of communist philosophy and are absolutely convinced the only way to achieve an equal society is by forcing everyone into it. This has its own problems, but they at least have an internally coherent ideology.

That’s not to say I agree with either camp. Their ideology promotes a vanguard party which can quickly spiral into “some are more equal than others”. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and all that. But I do understand where the second camp is coming from. I think the path to a better world lies in trade unions and people coming together to defend common interests.

AllYouPlay and another online game store wouldn’t let me register with a protonmail address

There were 2 online game stores that wouldn’t allow me to register with a protonmail account, AllYouPlay and another one that I can’t recall, which was weird to me

Some sites and services won’t accept accounts with e-mails outside of the mainstream ones though.

Don’t give up! You’re close to finishing the tutorial!

Ohhh, so that’s what that heart thingy was!

It’s Life by You for those that don’t want to access the link.

Such a shame, I was excited for the game.

As someone who doesn’t know much about China aside from the high competitiveness of their academic environment, I’m curious as to what sort of issues your friends face due to surveillance? Does it affect their day to day lives? Or does it just foster an atmosphere of “be careful what you say”?

One of the few games I always come back to

I would legit use it. For-profit dating sites suck

I think non-militarized cops, so most non-American ones, are not that bad and are generally more decent people than militarized cops. It’s amazing how much better policing can be when cops don’t carry guns with them all the time

Good luck turning off the corporate AI’s scraping your data from whatever websites you use to profit off of it!
