Propaganda and all that, yes.

It’s also largely about the fact that—in theory—these are two jobs that involve ‘putting your life on the line’ to protect and defend innocent civilians, and usually in dire circumstances involving dangerous weapons/violent people. (NOT defending cops/US military, but just pointing out why those jobs can be publicly revered.)

Also, in many/most(?) other countries, shooting two people absolutely would register nationally because civilian gun violence is a big deal and not normal around the world. You happen to live in the one country on the planet where guns vastly outnumber people and mass shootings are a daily regular occurrence.

But yeah. Propaganda. Mostly that.

I have literally never once heard anyone call BotW anything other than a masterpiece. I’m sorry, really not trying to come for you, but I think it’s fucking nuts to call that game a 6/10.

I’ve seen other reviews literally say it’s the best game all year.

I really wish people would chill. I don’t understand the doom and worry over an 8/10…

No yeah let’s ignore the 50+ footnotes and dozens of linked sources proving how three cueing isn’t effective. Come thru Betsy DeVos.

If I had a penny for every time a loser went on lemmy/reddit to bitch about nintendo/pokemon, I’d be a motherfucking billionaire.

I will never understand why you goddam losers spend so much time obsessively discussing a brand you claim to hate.

Please downvote and block me if you don’t like what I’m saying. I’m so damn sick of the bitching about fun games I’m trying to enjoy.

Neat!

I actually like that term better. Hell yeah, anti-capitalism!

They most certainly have been tampered with.

Sasha Baron Cohen dressed up as a redneck and sang at a far right militia gathering once to troll them. Not sure if that counts lol

Pokemon is the biggest media franchise on planet earth. To call that dumbass palworld AI SLOP “bigger and better than GF or Nintendo could ever develop” is MAGA-level batshit insane. Nintendo is ROLLING in money rn, they don’t need to try harder for shit. They’re doing phenomenally.

The bitching about Nintendo is wild, like yalls don’t quit. Give eternal passes to Sony and Microsoft, but the pikachu/Mario guys are the villains…??? Give me a fucking break.

Huh? That has nothing to do with the definition of an assassination??? Where are you getting that from? Sometimes the goal really is just to kill the king…

The difference between homicide and assassination is who is being killed. For it to be an “assassination,” it just needs to be a planned attack on an important figure. You could definitely call yesterday’s killing an assassination if that’s what you’re getting at… Doesn’t need to be a ‘good’ person, just an important/prominent person.

Not sure why the above comment is getting so many upvotes considering it’s literally just wrong. Has nothing to do with “ends/means” or whatever the fuck.

Who the fuck is downvoting this comment? Genuinely why? Is this some pro-trump instance or something? Like wtf I don’t understand what I said wrong…

Screw that—that 30 minute premiere for Kirby Air Riders was pure bliss. If it’s a game I love, I want all the detes I can get.

Dude stop. There’s no ethical consumption in post-/late stage capitalism. Nintendo is no worse than Microsoft, Sony, Steam, I could go on and on. Let people play their fucking video games—it’s one of the only nice things about living in this modern day. Fucking sheesh.

Ragebait, go away, come again another day

Can we please ban minors from this site/instance? OP has made multiple posts about teenaged relationships and it makes me super uncomfortable. I don’t want to be using a platform like this with children, and I really really don’t want to hear about teen drama.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I think this is a fair question.

My ignorant two cents: the internet. As always. It’s the internet polluting people’s minds. The far right used their billions to essentially purchase most media outlets. A stupid population is one easily controlled. Welcome to populism.

Step one: control content on the internet and media generally Step two: control the minds of folks perpetually online/consuming media Step three: control everything

When it comes to higher ed—you’re absolutely right. It remains true that folks with degrees on average earn more than folks without. Especially if you don’t have to sink yourself into student loan debt, a college degree is a phenomenal investment.

The problem is that literal 19 yr olds, who have never worked a fulltime job in their lives and have no assets and no financial literacy, take out $100,000 in loans to pursue a degree they know nothing about. And the parents are just like, “sure teenage son! Take out thousands—you’ll pay it back in no time!” Then the next thing you know, you’re 32 and you owe MORE on student loans than you did at 19 and feel hopelessly fucked. I get why some people—who go through shit like that—recommend avoiding college. But that’s a different motivation than what I see more on the far right which simply wants people less educated so that the population is generally stupider and easier to manipulate.

I fucking love this energy. Such a hilariously cranky reply to an article I thought was interesting. Bless chonkyninja 🤣
