Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Yep rents double what it was just a couple years ago buying a house is a pipe dream, I used to buy tri-tip for $10-12 now that same tri-tip is over $30 everything is up 50% or more except for my wages and then they brag that the economy is doing so well. Republican or democrat it doesn't matter neither one will fix the real problems
On a lighter hearted note:
Do y’all remember when PC gaming was for the people? You could build a machine that blew consoles out of the water, and would be green in value after buying and playing like one game due to online sales and not paying to be able to connect the internet you already pay for (lmfao). Not to mention the wealth of low cost indies.
Now it’s purely a bourgeois activity. RGB bullshit everywhere, $300 glass cases, need to spend over $800 just for a GPU that can run blurry ass UE5 AI slop at 20fps, and then do it again next year…
God I fucking love the fall of the American Empire, if only I wasn’t in the core…
No fr wtf is that about? Why is my PS5 twice as powerful as my PC for half the cost?
