Because young men have problems that aren’t taken seriously. Then someone like Tate comes along and (quite literally) sells the “solution.”

If a cult leader can swoop in and radicalise a whole lot of people, then there is an unaddressed or ignored problem going on. This is the kind of way someone like Hitler got so much support.

People who are educated, and live secure, fulfilling lives would be able to see Tate for the twat he is.

Proton is a fork of wine. I believe they still use parts from each other.

I don’t use Web apps/software to begin with, explicitly because I don’t live under the illusion that everything will somehow exists forever, exactly the way it is.

I’ve been homeless, so I know how it is to be an artist without being online all the time. If the tool you use needs to be always online for some reason (and it’s not specifically related to the Internet), it’s a bad and useless tool.

It’s the reason I’m not jumping on the Photopea train until they release a proper installable program.

You gotta be fucking kidding me. What sort of disconnected boomer statement is that!?

I hate using such terms as “boomer”, but how else am I going to describe this?

I’m in Denmark, and I can just about get by on one job. I have friends from America struggling to make ends meet, and they’re working TWO jobs!

So the fuck is this guy talking about!?

Denmark has Pricerunner. When buying electronics I can find many different types of local dealers and suppliers.

Second hand can be gotten through Den Blå Avis (dba.dk. Essentially translates to “The Blue Pages”).

Clothing has various online solutions as well, but it’s also easy to just hop onto a bike and cycle to the nearest shopping centre. I live in Copenhagen, so there’s also train and metro, but I prefer biking.

When it comes to food, I only ever order food online through Too Good To Go. Recently got a large breakfast cereal box through TGTG.

Take your upvote and fuck off. >:V

Andrew Tate is so successful because there already existed the conditions to radicalise young people for quite some time.

Cult leaders or radical leaders don’t have a platform if everyone is just fine. No-one in a healthy environment wakes up in the morning and decides “let’s start some hateful shit, because it’s just so much fun!”

Yes… It’s because of the few loud-mouthed, salty, misogynists that men are generally lonely.

Maybe if this wasn’t the attitude towards me all the time, there’d be less young boys listening to twats like Andrew Tate.

Hmm…

This is some combination of right-wing gun-toting and sexism. A very… wonderful combination.

I’ve been getting more excited about indies than AAA for the better part of 5 years now. I… Don’t think there’s a single game from a big publisher I’m looking forward to. Used to be Homeworld 3, Starfield, and Elders Scrolls 6 but… Yeah…

Anyway, hope Hollow Knight Silksong will be present. Been waiting on that one for a while.

Yeah, I’ve been hearing some very shitty things about there RMA process since before they released their first model Ally. Wasn’t it their motherboard that fucked CPUs? And then they released a “fix” update to the BIOS that was still an alpha, didn’t actually fix anything, and voided the warranty if you installed it?

Didn’t the ROG Ally have a lot of problems? Have those problems been fixed?

Talking about melting SD card slots, needing to play plugged in to make any use of its power, and unstable frame times.

Might be the mention of crypto. A lot of people are quite sore from the crypto based stock market scams that are still going on today.

Used to be a regular player. Not anymore for multiple reasons. Between a very toxic playerbase and various compounding design issues with the game itself, it sorta just stopped being fun.

Also didn’t help that most of my friends only wanted to hop into the game if they could win.

As someone who’s lived there for six years (albeit mostly homeless); yes.

Even if you’re trying to speak French, you’ll get treated like you’re speaking Swahili or something.

Step 1: Sit in front of your computer.

Step 2: Start using the mouse and keyboard attached to your computer.

CONGRATULATIONS! You are now well on your way to getting used to using a mouse and keyboard.

I remember a picture of a train from “the good old days” where everyone was with their face in a newspaper and not interacting with anyone.

I remember reading about complaints against younger generations spending too much time reading novellas rather than living in the real world and interacting with people (was around the time the industrial printing press was invented).

My dude, with a tital and description like that, you should’ve seen the innuendo coming from all the way in Proxima Centauri.

Got a Wooting keyboard. Comes with a Linux app. Pretty good keyboard. Can’t complain.

The same can be applied to all artistic mediums. But it’s arguably used most for generating text and images.
