Declaring "I shall not be purchasing [thing] because [reason]" in public is yes, very cringey. You just, don't buy the thing. That's all. No look-at-me-i'm-important declaration necessary.

My complaint isn't the same as that bullshit. Try again.

There's a difference between choosing and listening to fans (critics) to improve and being made to feel obligated to do so. This society literally harasses people over being upset at fictional portrayals of cartoons. Sometimes harassed right out of their chosen career. Game devs know this very well.

Content creators have no obligations to the consumers of the content, period. No more than Picasso had an obligation to paint landscapes. He didn't care to so he didn't.

Content creators, publishers, etc: they're free to make schlock we don't like, and we're free to express our disdain for it, and I'm free to point out that the folks wasting their energy complaining are indeed, wasting their energy. And cringey to boot. There's a line crossed when you start insisting and making personal commentary at all. A publisher's interests and the fan's interests are not always aligned. That's fine. You can deal with it, I promise. You bring up the snyder cut: Know who probably drove that whole push? The studio. Yeah, every one of those "fans" got played. This kind of shit is unacceptable. Period.

Don't encourage it.

Huh, the games did phenomenally well in America. Weird. /s

We're in an age of knee-jerk finger pointing, with the problem getting worse the higher you get in society. It's just one giant game of blame hot-potato.

Here's the thing: The producers don't owe the fans shit. They don't owe the fans an explanation even. They owe the investors an explanation. The fans are just there, that's the reality of being a fan of something. We don't get a say, we just can choose to watch or not, and then decide to trash it or praise it online if we want to.

So while there's a problem going up the ladder of the blame game, there's another one coming back down the ladder, and it's entitlement. For some odd reason there's an air of "we deserve this content, exactly to our specifications" and it permeates games, movies, music, all of the entertainment content we have been inundated with as a society. And I think the culture generally leans towards encouraging it because it keeps the culture thriving. But it also keeps us in the exact status quo we're in as a society, beholden to these billionaire publishers we all rail on daily.

Because let's face it: We as a society spend an enormous amount of energy and as such, destroy a lot of the planet, on all this entertainment. If we can't accept that as a fact then we're fucking doomed.

Right now a lot of the electricity we send from A to B gets lost as heat energy, among other sciency shit. So for every watt of power you use, it takes more than that to get it to you. You're phone heats up because of this. Computers all require ventilation and heat sinks because of this. LED screens are even warm and they're meant to be as not warm as possible.

Super conductors at room temperature addresses that fundamental problem of moving electricity.

This doesn't even touch the magnet factor. Super conducting magnets can levitate. This is literal cars without wheels territory. Maglev roads. Railgun shuttle launches. The abundance of the materials one question is also highly promising. We're not talking rare earth.

If this is true it's the biggest discovery since the transistor, no sweat.

I'm skeptical, but then I also understand that in the scheme of things, "room temperature" is arbitrary. So there's no reason I know of that it can't happen. It's not like perpetual motion or something.

"well this is awkward"

The irony of people posting on web applications they utilize for their own enjoyment, "applications don't belong on web browsers" is killing me here.

There is a portion of the tech industry with their head stuck firmly up their ass and it seems a lot of em hang out in the fediverse. These people would demand we go back to party lines and manual switchboards. Techno-hipsters who are just angry at the next generation who took their BBS internet and actually made the world use it.

Downvote me, that's fine. Use that interactivity application on your browser. Go be the very definition of irony. Please.

Honestly, leave it on Reddit. That sub was just ASUS and Corsair in a trenchcoat. I can do without the commercials.

Ketchup packets, but flipped in the 4th dimension.

When my wife first told me this I said "damn I feel sorry for the girl who didn't do shit and got hit by a mic; you know Cardi isn't gonna nail a person in the crowd" and she looked up the video. Sure enough, Cardi can't throw any better than she can rap.

Just block him. You're actively spreading his message by responding to him in any fashion, that's how the fediverse works. This can't be stated hard enough. When you see these accounts you need to block them and move on.

I live in Fresno. I can pretty much guarantee that this is just targeted faux news meant to get (extremely dumb and gullible) conservatives riled up in a democratic state. The central valley is as conservative as Texas and within the red households, probably about as educated as Texas too.

The only labs you'll find in abandoned buildings here are meth labs. But you're quite likely to find HIV in those labs too so ymmv.

Do yourself a favor and block the OP reader. He knows this is all bullshit. And hey OP! Trump won't ever notice you. I know you harbor a little hope he will but that's just because you're that small minded. He won't. Ever.
