  • I ain’t write a pass for shit, the article I linked said crime is a by-product of desparation and reducing desparation will reduce crime, being poor is a cause of desparation so a-b-c. I don’t wamna type that all out because the middle piece didn’t matter for the sake of the message “reducing poverty reduces the crime rate”. Additionally, just because something has a traceable cause doesn’t mean its excused or OK, don’t draw that line on your own. I also didn’t mention police once, so I don’t wanna hear that either. That’s a different conversation entirely that I feel we both also have a very similar opinion on. It seems you really just don’t like the word poor being associated because you want to draw a line to me saying poor people are bad, but I’m not. I’m saying desperate people are more likely to take desperate measures. Doesn’t matter what class you’re in for that, but poor people are, hopefully unsurprisingly, a lot more likely to be in a desperate situation, and in there did I never say that this makes anyone a bad person nor did I excuse any behavior.

    I literally just woke up, sorry for the extra sass.





  • I switched to Linux because the nvidia drivers on windows got so bad my GPU was crashing once every boot. On Linux I regularly have significantly worse performance (especially in VR) but its more stable. I’m fine with a lower fps rather than just getting kicked out of games when the driver crashes.

    Would be nice if they worked on those performance issues, though.





  • People “fall for it” because the both teams bad narrative helps the super bad team seem less super bad in comparison.

    If the conversation appropriately punished the super bad the whenever they did something super bad, then maybe voters would actually overhwleming not vote them and force them to change. Instead, by assuming the super bad team will be super bad, we get more upset when the people we thought were good guys do something bad, and we don’t really give much conversation to the super bad team because we expected them to be evil.

    Then, when its time to vote, someone can think “well both sides are evil but this one side did say something about an issue I care about, so I will vote them” and vote super bad and not feel too guilty about it.

    I guess this yapping is to say the “both sides evil” narrative is really really bad in my eyes. I’m not feeling great today, sorry to take it out on this. Thanks for letting me yap.
