Climate change and the “warming” trend is just a symptom of the larger problem: we’re polluting our planet and using up resources at an ever increasing rate with little to no concern or thought for the future. You’re right that we (most likely) won’t stop climate change and the warming trend we’re in. However, we can…

How hard is it for this country and the idiots running it to just look at one simple thing: how many countries went from a capitalist healthcare system, to a socialized/single-payer system, then went back to the capitalist option because it cost too much to keep people alive and healthy?

The hilarious (read: sad) part is those people who support using a GoFundMe to pay for healthcare costs, but don’t support a socialized healthcare system, don’t see the irony in both options relying on money from a bunch of strangers. Sure with the GoFundMe option, those people donating have the “choice” on who their…

It is amazing the amount of people who proudly proclaim things like

This is what’s apparently so hard for Trump fans to get. All these companies are getting tax breaks on their overseas money, in addition to annual tax breaks for millions/billions of dollars, and all we’re getting is a one-time “bonus” check (which is of course taxed at a much higher rate, so we’ll only see half of…

Gamer toxicity is a huge problem in the industry and is seriously having an affect on both the number of people who want to work in the games industry and the morale of those already there. The toxic gamers who lash out at the developers with death threats, doxxing, and other such harassment, especially when it…

I know, but see something, say something, right?

I was seeing the same thing. Didn’t matter what my visual settings were, my FPS wouldn’t go up. I know it’s not my system, because my Oculus still runs my games at high with no problems.

Starting off with name-calling and condescension is a great way to have a discussion...

Have your framerates taken a hit with 7.3.5? I play on high/ultra settings and usually hover around 60-75 fps in crowded areas like Dalaran, with much higher out in the wild. Ever since the patch hit, I have been down in the low teens in Dalaran, and even out in the wild while in combat with mobs. It’s almost…

I like how Apple is being lauded for this move when this is just the end result of Apple holding their own funds for ransom against the US. For decades, Apple (and other major international companies) have squandered away money in other countries, refusing to bring it back to the states and pay their due taxes on it,…

As of 9AM central time, it says this is unavailable. So possibly sold out due to the BOGO deal.

An alternate option I’ve been thinking about is creating a GoFundMe for my kids people can donate to. The option is there to make donations anonymously if they don’t want to compare their donation size to others, and since the real cost of “experiences” can be so much more than the ticket price, it lets the parents…

The “KINJAFIL” promo code doesn’t work that’s listed under the image of the device. “KINJAROU” was the promo code that worked for me.

This is nothing more than a long term ploy to concrete the decision the FCC made, with *just* enough in it to lend the appearance of being in support of net neutrality to get it to go through congress without actually doing so. The worst part of this bill is classifying broadband internet as an “information service”…

Because we have to be way too specific regarding everything, I have to point this out. The site says it will be back “in late January”. Notice it doesn’t specify a year...

To be fair, that’s not an unreasonable assumption even for someone without any classified knowledge. To assume we’re alone in an infinite universe full of countless other planets and systems IS pretty arrogant. It’s a mathematical improbability that we’re the only planet with any kind of life.

This right here. This is the response I usually give to people who think the President just becomes knowledgeable about ALL of the government secrets when they take office. Sure they’re the head of our government, but they’re still only a temporary leader. It wouldn’t make much sense to have someone like that be made…

My biggest complaint about the new rules is the stipulation that content blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization are now allowed, as long as the ISP reports when they engage in these practices. BUT there is a loophole (of course). If those networks can classify these moves as “reasonable network management”…
