The last time I played Cyberpunk, it was actually good fun. Game was a bit empty, and it was pretty obvious they'd been forced to cut a lot of stuff, but I played it for several hundred hours without too many bugs. Pretty and ran well on my budget pc too.
As always, patience is a virtue.
Some of the dumbest idiots are also the most confident.
They're not pretending. They actually believe in themselves. If you tell them they're wrong, prove it with data, show them clear evidence that they've made a mistake.... they'll continue believing they didn't make a mistake.
Some of these idiots end up running large companies or even countries. Which is a problem, because very big mistakes get very expensive, especially when the people in charge refuse to accept a mistake was made.
Never be ashamed of being self-critical. It's a sign of intelligence, and the world would be a better place if more people were like this.
This being said, sometimes it's important to make a decision and roll with it, because if you had to double check everything it'd take too long and you'd miss opportunities or fail to avoid pitfalls. Like taking too long to dodge an obstacle while driving.
Non-American here.
Have you tried giving free guns to minorities? I seem to remember people suddenly change their minds on gun control when the Black Panthers armed themselves in California.
Honestly, I've seen what happens in care homes and hospitals, and have heard enough horror stories.
Unless you're lucky enough to have good kids, who are able to visit often and take care of your interests, the last decade of your life can be utterly horrible and sad.
Yes, that is why I don't have a significant retirement fund. It's all part of my plan. /s
The UN is sometimes at its most useful when the representatives countries which are in (open) conflict, 'accidentally' happen to find themselves in the same bathroom and can have an off the record chat, without either side having being forced to accept official talks.
The rest of the show is sometimes nothing more an excuse to get those people together in the same (bath)room.
Yeah, but that's fascists for you. Different can, same sausage. To quote Orwell on Hitler:
It is a pathetic, dog-like face, the face of a man suffering under intolerable wrongs. In a rather more manly way it reproduces the expression of innumerable pictures of Christ crucified, and there is little doubt that that is how Hitler sees himself. The initial, personal cause of his grievance against the universe can only be guessed at; but at any rate the grievance is here. He is the martyr, the victim, Prometheus chained to the rock, the self-sacrificing hero who fights single-handed against impossible odds. If he were killing a mouse he would know how to make it seem like a dragon.
TBF that was as much Jonathon Ross's fault and the broadcaster's fault.
Poor girl. It's shocking to think how culturally accepted and mainstream misogyny was at the time.
To be fair, I think you'd have a hard time proving he's declined significantly in the last few years. You can't unflush a turd.
Necrocracy. I think they're the only country that is officially still ruled by a dead leader.
Same thing for (international) politics too, obviously.
That and endless content and comment reposts.
It was bad when I left, it's gotten worse now that some of the better mods and more prolific posters have left.
