I can’t find anything saying he was a republican. Every news outlets seems to be reporting that he was unregistered and hadn’t voted in past elections.

His parents are listed as Republicans.

His parents mentioned they had a discussion with him days prior talking about kirk and how he spreads hate. He had expressed that he didn’t like kirk.

Again these are from major news outlets that were spinning kirk as not as bad in recent days so take it with a grain of salt until we hear more. It’s possible that he had no political affiliation and just decided to act based on his personal beliefs

I was frustrated that Canadian news outlets were downplaying who he really was. They’re also saying people who are celebrating his death should be ashamed.

He contributed to death, ignorance, misinfo, and leading youth into the alt right pipeline. People should be able to participate in politics without risk of their life.

People should also participate in good faith and shouldn’t be allowed to lie or steal. In a just system, these people would be held accountable by the courts. People also should not be allowed to advocate for things that directly or indirectly cause hatred, racism, discrimination, etc.

I don’t feel ashamed for feeling okay with this situation. At most, I feel bad for his kids, but I felt bad for them regardless of this situation.

Idk man. It’s dumb

Sorry, I’m tired and can’t tell if sarcasm. Political violence can sometimes be okay when stopping legitimate harm on other people. For example, Hitler being removed was ok.

If someone calls for harm or promotes ideology that will harm various people, i think it’s ok if it is used to stop them but only as a last resort when all other means of reasoning have been attempted.

I don’t like violence. Sometimes, fighting a bully is ok. I think it is good not to condone it, however, and I also think it is extremely difficult to justify.

In an ideal world, we would be able to charge people and put them through a court system to prevent them from causing or spreading more harm against others, but many countries do not have the systems or are corrupt/too lenient against people who worm their way through legal systems and freedom of speech laws. It’s tricky.

Sorry for the essay.

I tried to rollback this update and either somehow did something incredibly wrong, or windows decided to bug out. It slowed the PC horribly, and I had to reinstall windows 11. Such a pain

Jupiter go brrr

I remember reading about brain scans being able to predict your political leanings. I wonder how this would play into it

On my last phone, Facebook was installed by default and could only be deactivated. It was super dumb

I had assumed these guys would be happy with Trump. I suppose there’s always going to be people who want to take power.

My question is, what would their plan be once power grids are taken out? As far as I can tell they are always small ish groups in the grand scheme of things. So like…do they really think they can just take over violently and everyone would clap? Lol

Ohh man i want a playdate! They’re kind of expensive, but they seem so cool.

I would really like to see a company go back and make unique handhelds. Handhelds have become portable consoles, which is cool, but I miss the unique games that were built around limitations or unique hardware like the DS and 3ds.

Also I would really like a handheld that doesn’t hurt when you hold it for extended periods of time.

I appreciate your optimism a lot. I always thought a UBI and AI would do something like this, but recently, I’m increasingly doubting that we would be able to achieve this without greedy people using it against the masses. I want your outcome to come true

Least expensive employees? Does he mean salary wise? I was always under the impression software devs were paid well

The more I read, the more I realize that America IS Russia. A lot of countries, governments, and people share a lot of ideas, thoughts, and goals. It really feels like average people are just getting played, manipulated, and strung along.

I also realize that I’m starting to dig into ideas and thoughts that completely shatter any of my preconceived notions that I had about the world.

In some ways, I think it is helpful. In other ways, I don’t know what to do with this information or how it can help me/others. I feel like it’s an information overload, and I don’t know how to handle it.

Very interesting article, thank you for sharing

There’s been some incredible indies the past few years. I’m loving that people are going back and making games that look and feel like they could’ve been on the n64, ps1 or SNES.

Thank you for the heads up! I’ll have to go check when the cutscene comes up so I don’t get caught off guard.

I ended up having to watch the MGS2 cutscene before the last boss, and one of the really long MGS3 cutscenes on youtube because I fell asleep while they were playing lol

I’ve heard of this kind of AI usage a few times now and it seems so smart. You’re learning by teaching, but also being trained in AI literacy and the downfalls of AI. It encourages critical thinking and genuine learning at the same time.

Well, I was trying to complete my second playthrough of Metal gear solid 2. But a bad Windows 11 update seems to have corrupted something, and now my PC is crawling.

So, attempting to reinstall/repair. Thanks Microsoft :3

Other than that Metal Gear has been awesome. I finished 3 the other week and have also been playing 4 on the ps3. Not super keen on the bombardment of cutscenes so far in 4, but it’s still pretty neat.

I have really appreciated learning the mechanics of each game. I feel like this is one of the first series where I can play each game twice and learn new things about the game on each playthrough. I can tell how I’m improving and when certain fights were completed with luck or if I actually mastered them. The depth is super addicting

I’m hesitant to ask…but what did her mom do that made her stop playing?

I see this has a joystick as well. I’m curious how this worked. It seems cool in theory, but I have a nagging feeling it was awful lol
