What a catastrophically dumb take. People WERE explaining that freedom of speech only prevents the government from taking action against you based on your speech, and even then that it's limited. If you missed that then you're too ignorant to be commenting on the subject.

Calling the phrase fascist is just bafflingly stupid as well. Saying that people are not free from consequences of their speech in NO WAY supports the use of physical force to quell people's right to participate in politics for the simple act of asking a question. Any interpretation of "freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences" that concludes that it means that all speech should be subject to any consequences is embarrassingly brain-dead.

You're free to be this clueless on a public forum, but you're not free from being called out for your dumb take. That is a consequence. It doesn't mean that a big muscly dude can justifiably take your phone and smash it into pieces so you can't comment anymore.

Are people to quick to assume that? Where are you getting that information from? Are you assuming it?

That doesn't make it a good thing or something that shouldn't be off-putting to the people who are being fetishized. It's normal to be attracted to certain physical features but when you fetishize certain physical characteristics, ethnic/racial backgrounds, etc. you treat those people as a sexualized objects and not a human being who may have a sexual aspect to them but is much more complex than just the often superficial characteristics that are fetishized.

People want to be perceived as whole, complex human beings, not just carriers of characteristics that provide you sexual gratification which, if you fetishise something about a person, you are doing to them whether you realize it or not. It's creepy, disrespectful, and dehumanizing.

Feel free to feel attracted to certain physical characteristics but do not fetishise people.

She was obsessed with trying to pursue all these different skills and obsessed over all of the opportunities she made throughout her life and what she lost by not making certain choices. She overloads her daughter by trying to make her "everything" which drives her into a pit of nihilism and drives them apart. She only saves the day by realizing that she would have missed out on just as much that is good in her life by making other choices and by giving up trying to be "everything" to just love and accept her daughter--and by extension her life.

The message was essentially to appreciate the choices you've made and how they shaped the life you live, to appreciate the people around you, and to not obsess over missed opportunities and the pursuit of an impossible "perfect."

Comparing shoplifting to an ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing tells me everything I need to know about what an absolute piece of human refuse you are.

Your pedantry aside, my point still stands. If I'm accused of stealing from someone my accusation doesn't undermine the fact that someone stole from me before. Your logic is bafflingly poor, though I can't be too surprised when a genocide celebrator is an absolute moron.

Everything Everywhere All At Once was about appreciating what you have in life and the people around you and not giving into hopelessness because you can't attain some romanticized perfect life. It's not about ignoring the horrible things going on in the world for the sake of your own peace of mind.

Ok but you still can't act like Biden winning the primary meant that he was actually the best person for the job. Being more popular than a couple of nobodies is hardly an accomplishment.

Especially considering... I mean LOOK at that picture!!

I agree completely. I would love if the popularity of mid-range handheld devices like the SD convinced more companies to steer away from the obsession with ever increasing graphical fidelity.

It's also nice having a handheld PC that is so reasonably priced in comparison to a lot of the other offerings in the handheld PC market.

Success in indie development tends to be very uncertain though. Unless you end up at an established indie studio with a good track record but it's not like indie studios hire in droves.

Mfer really took "play anywhere" to heart.

The whole handheld gaming market is pretty small. There's the Switch which outsold the last couple gens of Xboxes and PlayStations. Good luck beating that. Besides that you have smartphones which just about everyone owns and only a handful of brands being especially popular. Then you have dedicated Android having handhelds and handheld emulation machines which are extremely niche.

So either you're looking at extremely popular and widely owned handheld devices with extensive histories and customer loyalty or extremely niche devices. Not really a great comparison.
