  • So I’m not here to like defend Amazon or anything, but what are you talking about? Prime, imo, has definitely been getting a bit better in terms of content lately. The only stuff that has commercial ads in it as far as I’m aware are the pseudo-live TV channels they recently started streaming, and the content provided by “freevee” if said content isn’t also under the prime label. This is all assuming you pay for a prime account, idk what the service is like if you’re accessing it for free to begin with.










  • Firearms education is only necessary when there are guns all over the place. The people you’re complaining about don’t want guns around to begin with. Not to mention the inherent propaganda that is 100% built into any children’s content produced by Republicans and the NRA. If the goal of Democrats is to increase gun control and reduce the amount of guns among the general populace, it doesn’t really make sense for them to want NRA propaganda in schools. That said, I do agree that while there are all these guns around, parents should generally do a better job to make sure their children get this information, whether their family owns a gun or not.



  • This is a bad take in general, if your computer can’t handle running steam it probably can’t handle many games to begin with. It’s the least intrusive option presented so far in terms of DRM, and steam has done more for the Linux gaming market with Proton than any other company afaik. You have to launch steam to avoid games wanting to do things like denuvo or kernel level anti-cheat which is WAY worse, and those of us on Linux need steam running while we game for additional reasons. This complaint about not wanting to look at a storefront is just petty, especially when I’m pretty sure there are settings to open it directly to your library.


  • The one that sticks with me is called “the cold equations”, and it’s about a pilot flying a ship through space and discovering he has a young girl stowing away on board. Since he only has enough fuel to get to his destination if the ship weighs a very specific amount, he has to decide whether or not to jettison the girl out the airlock. I remember liking it, but I’ve never forgotten how emotional it was to read.
