Uh, yes? What does bias even mean in this context and why is it a problem?

The biggest advantage of most consoles is that they don’t have a proper web browser or social media apps or software for doing work or any of the other bullshit that PC has. If you sit down in front of a console you are forced to not do work or doomscroll or whatever. There are too many opportunities for all of that shit to eat away at your free time on a PC.

Yeah that’s arguably the actually valuable finding from this study, isn’t it? In a natural state, cooperative social mammals, whether they are wolves or human beings, will behave in an egalitarian manner and not tolerate abusive psychopathic “alphas”. But in captivity, whether that is wolves in a zoo or humans forced into wage-slavery under capitalism, this kind of psychopathic behaviour emerges and forms a dominant part of the social structure. We can observe wolves in their natural state and therefore question the immediate conclusions of this study regarding wolves. But the study might actually suggest a useful finding that could be applied to a human society help in a captive state by capitalism and the various enforcement layers of bosses, corporate control, the police, and so on.

But which usb-c cable is the shitty usb 2.0 speed one that came with your phone and is only good for charging, and which cable is actually a good fast one for sending data, and what kind is that one you bought in an emergency one time because you were travelling and really needed a cable but the box only had Italian on it?

In a communist utopia, if you wanted to watch trashy social media garbage while you take the train home after a long day you should be forced to hunt for it in one big alphabetical directory that looks like mid-‘90s Yahoo. Recommendation algorithms are inherently reactionary and after the revolution they must be abolished.

A colon and putting the two halves on separate lines would also work in all-caps

Indeed. Defend from who? The Kaiser?

Yeah, too fussy and repetitive. Why would I want to spent a couple of hours trying to beat the same boss fight over and over? The whole process of getting gud is dreadfully dull.

Trotskyists have the right idea about focusing so much on publishing and distributing their own newspapers. Unfortunately those papers are filled with unapproachable Trotskyist rants, usually about big global issues, and contain basically zero real journalism. A free leftist local newspaper with a website and a print copy handed out at a few busy transit stations every morning could, for example, actually send a reporter to report on local goings-on in the town hall and so on. Given how so many local news outlets have closed over the past couple of decades and left many towns and cities without any local news, the average person might actually want to read such a paper.

I’m reading this aloud while doing my very best George W Bush impression.
