You can hate Amazon and patents. It's ok to do both.
"Black" culture in the U.S. is unlike anything I've seen anywhere else in the world (although it is slowly taking hold in the UK as well) and it promotes values that are antithetical to academic success and conscientiousness in general.
You don't know what "Black" culture is. You also don't know what "White" culture is, because "White" culture includes songs that promote wasting money, shooting people, and getting drunk to avoid problems.
I would not be surprised to see a new, entirely evidence-free hypothesis emerging:
Unsurprisingly, you can't recognize that your own hypotheses are evidence-free. Likely because you look for evidence to support your ideas, rather than to test your ideas (which is what a scientist would do).
I had to look up "motivated thinking" as a logical fallacy as I'd never heard of that one before.

People are reporting that it works with Proton/Wine (although some Radeon video cards seem to have trouble with it).
Some older MMOs I guess... Now there's a dying genre. Whatever happened to those anyway?
Final Fantasy online is putting out some good content still.
The only thing holding it back are games, but that is becoming less and less of an issue.
Wine works really well for a lot of games. For old games/software, it often does better than Windows.
Behr says she has replaced her weekly recap emails with Vids, “and I get a lot of feedback that people like it because they can see my facial expressions when I’m talking about things.”
It means she's not good at communicating with words, and people are afraid of her mood swings.
It's always Wall Street first, customer second.
That's only because the executives/board are incentivized through stock options to care about wall street. If their incentives changed, then their priorities would change.
