I just noticed this when I saw a strange "Achievement Unlocked" notification pop up on Reddit. What do you think of this? It seems like a retention tactic to me, like what Amino had with its streak leaderboards, and GameFAQs currently has with streak achievements for logging on ten days in a row and also for all days of a month.
honestly a lot of the people trying to pass as big pros on the internet are beginners. however its the most common issue with css, so its solution is dead easy to fucking find.
with that said, if i havent been using css in a while ill probably have to look it up.

in a critical situation like this, finding another human at all is probably riskier than any animal.
most animals will just fuck off while humans will remember you and find a way to fuck you for their gain. all that in a smart way that you wont be able to stop with just a pointy stick or something.

EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during 'Replay' moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being highlighted in...

on the other hand something as sleek, cheap and ready to go out of the box as consoles, with guaranteed support for a while AND the biggest library of games on release? that could bring a lot of console people over to "PC" if done correctly. or market it more as a streaming server, that would be cool too.
i havent looked into them in a while but arent they more expensive? reducing cost is realistic if valve could pull off the same punch as a steamdeck by using similar but better powered SoCs, or be able to sell at a loss as a calculated risk to get people spending on steam. sony and microsoft do it and it works.
make it convertible as a computer, like the deck is and as upgradable as possible (at least a gpu slot pls!) and you got an easy low cost linux based introduction to the pc ecosystem. with all money going to portables i dunno if they would do it but it would change that part of the game, it would certainly make it more open.
company towns and expensive education were a thing in the less regulated era of capitalism, its not new, we are just coming back to it. its late stage capitalism.
i am assertive when ive done my research, ill ask when i dont. history is more complex and nuaced than knowing everything or not. i dont follow personality cults but i'm very aware of bias in traditional western media.
ML-adjacent revolutions are mostly still the most successful ones we ever had despite their problems. they worked pretty well long term.
i dont expect everything to be fixed in one comprehensive revolution.
longevity aint the only metric. in fact socialist economies are pretty well estabilished to be the fastest growing and provides the quickest growth to quality of life. china's growth has been unprecedented for a reason, the ussr was similar.
and saying MLs think trade unions are illegitimate is a big strawman. they are literally central to our strategy for revolution & democracy.
a society weighed down by decades of stunted development due to mismanagement industrializes
yes, this is precisely the point of bothering to free ourselves with a painful and dangerous revolution, and a big part of why socialism is desireable. no capitalists making decisions solely for themselves.
China’s infrastructure and housing are literally falling
this one is simply untrue. they overbuilt housing and infrastructure on purpose. now that they have and excess of it, recently redirected their economy away from real estate, they literally massively divested and popped the bubble recently to focus on manufacturing instead. i also don't expect every socialist country to be perfect and never make mistakes, even if this one ain't it.
this sounds like the usual western media smearing of china, be careful about it since we are in the middle of a cold war.
Then why did Lenin abolish them?
soviets remained a thing before and throughout the entire existence of the USSR, again they are central to the ML strategy and democracy.
Its the only real example my dude, ive implied its the biggest reason its the movement im in, but ill say it explicitly now. i keep having to repeat things wont be perfect from the get go, if your expectation is perfection or nothing then you will get nothing. i'm not advocating for countries be exactly like china or russia either.
Wow, I didn’t realize the USSR ended in 1919. I’ll have to tell my friends.
The October Revolution had 0 deaths on either side.
I never said it didnt. You are purposefully misinterpreting me at this point.
thats only true if you consider the beggining of the revolution. look up who funded the white army and why. also look at revolutions literally anywhere else they were tried instead of cherrypicking and you will see an opposite trend.
sounds like tankie media lionizing China
china themselves said they would before they did (look up their 5yr plans btw, they frequently achieve their goals), and to much lesser extent western analysts. not "tankie media".
i have no reason to believe your western bullshit over them on matters pertaining to chinese internal affairs, when you yourself is parroting the 'infrastructure made of sand' crap
Wow, I never realized that fascists playing “we’re socialists actually”
you are the one doing that. ive seen you present zero solutions or alternatives so far, and lies and misrepresentations about the ones we have. you cant consider yourself a socialist if you are an anti-communist who hates literally all socialist experiments ever tried, and repeat the western red scare propaganda about every country that ever tried it.
ML lifted maybe a couple of hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, and improved living conditions to hundreds of millions more, those are historical facts that even non-fascist neoliberals ive listened to avoid disputing. you could also present better ideas instead of criticizing something you don't seem to understand nor have the curiosity to learn about. kindly go fuck yourself.
honestly at this point i have no reason to talk to you any further, you are turning a debate of ideas into name-calling. i love talking about politics, but this ain't happening here anymore.
