i think the Steam Controller (2015) incorporated the track pads *and* had a good aesthetic. Really, all it needed was a real d-pad.

The old configuration menu was better, the original one before Big Picture got the revamp for the Steam Deck. The new one looks less intimidating at a glance, but is way harder to navigate and requires far more steps to do what the old one could do quite simply.

When the Maori invade england and start forcing their customs on the people there, then maybe you might come somewhere close to pointing out a double standard. (also, berserker brits, lol what a concept)
We don't have Trump because people started behaving poorly, we have Trump because there's been half a century of constricting living standards and a wealthy political duopoly that just doesn't care. Obama bailing out the banks rather than the people that lost their homes did more to kill civility than anything Trump has done.

part of being an adult is doing the work in front of you that needs doing, regardless of "ought"s "supposed to"s
we all benefit from the next generation learning to treat others properly, regardless of our own parental status

The definition I find useful is, *Fascism is when an imperial power begins applying colonial policies to citizens in its core*.
So, for a practical example, the United States has used extra-judicial black sites to disappear and torture people the CIA/pentagon deem enemies for decades. Locking up people in El Salvador without (constitutionally mandatory) trial or legal council is just that policy brought home.

well it was put together at the end of the 1700s, by the kind of guys rich enough to take a summer off to go argue with their peers over the details. The whole thing was designed take democratic input without actually having to be beholden to public sentiment. They were pretty open about that fact, it's all over their correspondences and publications.
Obviously all these years latter it's not quite the same beast they bred, but it still has the same basic shape and function.

Nothing wrong with meditating on a stone all your life, but where does a monk's meal come from? Who grows the food? Who weaves the cloth? If it were all just charity, that would be one thing...
Before China, Tibet was a feudal society, with the monastery at the top of the hierarchy. They wielded power; religious, political, and physical. The punishment for disobeying a monk was to have your hands cut off. And this wasn't just some ancient state of affairs, it was happening in the 20th century.
