[CW: Objectifying men as satire] Bit idea: Complaining that the male characters in games chuds like aren't hot enough
  • BoxedFenders BoxedFenders 2d ago 100%

    I've seen attempts at this (not for video games specifically but beauty standards in general) and the incelsphere response is that women are valued for their visual signifiers of fertility whereas men are valued for their ability to provide security and resources. But of course that doesn't explain why they are so hyperfocused on their own looks and how it ranks up to other males.

    Let's not forget that Democrats threw BLM under the bus to appease the landlord class when it was no longer politically expedient to support protests. And how quickly they walked back every "defund the police" promise without even the slightest whiff of resistance.

    It's wild how annexing any part of Germany to create a new Israel was not even mildly entertained. Can't have fellow white Europeans go through the trouble of displacement when they could just forcibly replace brown people instead.

    I always see Sinophobes screeching about how they will never buy a Chinese EV under any circumstances because it will spy on them or be remotely controlled by the SEE SEE PEE. And yet there is zero evidence to back these claims whereas a US ally literally implants bombs inside communication devices to commit mass terror.

    An executive in an American military contractor that is providing data analytics to the IDF joking about war crimes. This attack could not have been planned and executed so successfully without Palantir's services and they are gleefully celebrating their involvement without explicitly saying so.

    Yeah, it's technically illegal to sell blood and plasma but they get around this by paying you for your time instead. Gee, I wonder why this loophole doesn't work for prostitution.

    How did an easily debunked story of immigrants abducting cats and dogs become a bigger source of outrage than neverending school shootings?
  • BoxedFenders BoxedFenders 1mo ago 100%

    The absurdity is that even if all of those ridiculous claims about immigrant pet eaters was true, the statistical chances of a Haitian eating your dog are infinitesimally smaller than the odds of your child being shot in school.

    China Is Winning. Now What?
  • BoxedFenders BoxedFenders 1mo ago 100%

    China isn't just winning, it has actually won. There's just some lag time for its victory to be recognized. America only holds supremacy in naval and air projection, but with our waning industrial output and China closing the technological gap it is a foregone conclusion that they will catch up in a decade or two.

    This AI bubble is rapidly accelerating and it will take the entire market (and global economy) down with it. And while Sam Altman didn't singlehandedly ignite the new silicon arms race, OpenAI (and ChatGPT) did usher in the era we are now living in. Much was said about Nvidia overtaking Microsoft today to become the world's most valuable company, but take a look at the top 3: ![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhexbear.net%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F8ceaafad-0b6e-44e3-b048-7a30409d3e8a.png) They are ALL beneficiaries of partnerships with OpenAI. Microsoft added a trillion dollars of market cap since partnering with them last year and Apple hit new all time highs after their announcement that ChatGPT will power "Apple Intelligence". And Nvidia? Well, they were just a $300 billion dollar video game card maker 5 years ago and now they are the biggest company on earth because their cards train AI models. I'm just flabbergasted at how quickly and thoroughly the promises made by one small startup has become the economic backbone of the entire stock market. The bubble popping for this hype cycle will be one for the ages.

    Clearly Hamas is the very caricature of evil so anything less than sadistic violence must be done for propaganda purposes

    It seems like everyone just accepted the idea that the barbarous hordes from Gaza must obviously be raping any Israeli girl they could get their hands on, repeating those claims as if it were accepted fact. But it never made sense to me- not because such acts are beneath them, but due to the time and logistical constraints they were under during their limited time beyond the Gaza borders. But it seems like everyone, including every media outlet, wouldn't stop adding the accusations of rapes to the list of horrors Israelis faced that day. That said, I am under no delusion that the hostages, once secured and taken to their base, are not at risk of being sexually assaulted. But nearly every interview I've seen with family members of (female) hostages seems to be highly concerned with rape as a likely outcome as if this is a common practice among Palestinians. I've seen many of them repeating that "Hamas is ISIS" and let their imaginations run wild with the worst possible scenarios. But based on the hostages who have been released so far, we can at least say they were treated FAR, FAR better than the captives under US detainment in Abu Grahib or Guantanamo Bay.
