    What is the entertainment from the meme? Is it that “Auto-translate did this”? Or is it “This is All Star as if it was a passage from the Bible”?

    If it’s the latter (which I personally found amusing) then why are you getting your panties is a twist that it wasn’t a computer that did this?










  • Obviously that steam guy was probably coming from a place of bad faith

    The Steam forums actively encourage this kind of bad faith behavior:

    1. when a post gets a new reply it’s moved to the top of the forums. So as long as people are engaging with a post, even if it’s just to make fun of a bigot, it keeps getting pushed back to the top.

    2. Users can “award” posts for various things (helpfull, cool, funny, etc) and users have taken to giving ‘Clown’ awards as a way of making fun of posts. Whenever one of your posts gets an award, you are given Steampoints you can use in the Steam cosmetics store.

    This results in every game having bad faith posts “complaining” about wokeness so that people will make fun of them with Clown awards as a way to farm Steampoints. The developer bringing attention to it just helps them get more.



  • So far, the best system we’ve come up with as a species is heavily regulated capitalism with strong social safety nets

    And for quite a lot of human history the best system we had come up with was Feudalism, until we started doing something better.

    Just because Capitalism is the best we’ve come up with so far doesn’t mean we should just accept it, or that 1000 years from now people won’t look at the Capitalism with the same disdain we look at Feudalism.
