bernieecclestoned,

No, the theory is that removing a few bad apples is all that’s needed to solve the problem when it’s actually systematic.

The barrel is the problem.

bernieecclestoned,

Thanks

bernieecclestoned,

If their job is a cop, then they’d be somewhat correct in that notion?

bernieecclestoned,

Yeah, the rotten apple nonsense has been shown to be just that. The Met in the UK have been repeatedly shown to be institutionally racist and sexist

bernieecclestoned,

What statistics?

bernieecclestoned,

UK has had 3 mass shootings in the 2020s

en.wikipedia.org/…/Category:2020s_mass_shootings_…

US had 620 just in 2020 alone

en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_…

bernieecclestoned,

We had two mass shootings in the UK and banned guns, no mass shootings since. Same in NZ and Australia.

bernieecclestoned,

A bank overdraft I use to restrain my consumerism.

bernieecclestoned,

The capital pays for the labour, unless you have people who can work for free.

bernieecclestoned,

Yeah right. Capital accumulation just comes via bribes instead. Corruption was rife in communist countries

bernieecclestoned,

What? Are you saying the video game industry predates capitalism? Lol

bernieecclestoned, (edited )

Bollocks, any decent game needs a fuck ton of capital to develop

Please share all the greatest communist games

Agree that loot boxes suck, they are gambling, not gaming

Edit. Yes, Tetris. One game made in 1985. Brilliant example Tankards.

So the score so far for games made:

Communism - 1

Capitalism - 831,000

bernieecclestoned,

Anyone can make a movie, but you can’t make a big budget movie without a big budget.

bernieecclestoned,

Which was only successful because it got licensed to Western software companies.

bernieecclestoned,

You know that copyright export was illegal under the Soviets though yeah? So it only got released because a UK software sales guy faxed them a contract and they didn’t realise it was binding

Robert Stein, an international software salesman for the London-based firm Andromeda Software, saw the game’s commercial potential during a visit to Hungary in June 1986.[18]: 302 [25]: 11 min After an indifferent response from the Academy,[25]: 12 min Stein contacted Pajitnov and Brjabrin by fax to obtain the license rights.[25]: 11 min The researchers expressed interest in forming an agreement with Stein via fax, but they were unaware that this fax communication could be considered a legal contract in the Western world;[26] Stein began to approach other companies to produce the game.[17]: 89–90

Stein approached publishers at the 1987 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Gary Carlston, co-founder of Broderbund, retrieved a copy and brought it to California. Despite enthusiasm amongst its employees, Broderbund remained skeptical because of the game’s Soviet origins. Likewise, Mastertronic co-founder Martin Alper declared that “no Soviet product will ever work in the Western world”.[17]: 90

Stein ultimately signed two agreements: he sold the European rights to the publisher Mirrorsoft,[17]: 90 [27] and the American rights to sister company Spectrum HoloByte.[28] The latter obtained the rights after a visit to Mirrorsoft by Spectrum HoloByte president Phil Adam in which he played Tetris for two hours.[17]: 90 [25]: 15 min At that time, Stein had not yet signed a contract with the Soviet Union.[27] Nevertheless, he sold the rights to the two companies for £3,000 and a royalty of 7.5 to 15% on sales

Would be kind of hard to play a game that didn’t get published by the evil capitalist lol

bernieecclestoned,

Plenty of them on Stremio and with the Torrentio addon

Attitude. I love a night in solitude, watch a movie I fancy. Eat stinky fermented stuff with an air fried meal.

bernieecclestoned,

Thanks

bernieecclestoned,

Thanks for the explanation

bernieecclestoned,

HR is there to hire you and fire you, even their title is creepy, Human Resources

bernieecclestoned,

19th century ideology, today!

bernieecclestoned,

Does anyone actually say that?

bernieecclestoned,

Central bankers love this trick, solve inflation by taking money off the poors

bernieecclestoned,

That’s not a rocket
