Yep. It’s seriously remarkable how deeply these fuckers have sunk their claws into our social fabric. Literally every possible tactic they can employ to suck as much money from as many people as possible, have been employed, consequences be damned no matter how severe. This cannot be allowed to continue

In this age where you can quickly spend thousands online (or even in person) without having to actually watch any of it disappear, and corporations are hiring psychologists to make their services and platforms as addicting as possible, you’re gonna get a lot of this

I see everyone in the comments saying that Gen Z have checked out and are waiting for the end but I really don’t think so.

I think it’s never been easier to manipulate a person to separate them from their money and things are deliberately designed that way. Big shiny upgrade now buttons, services forcing you onto 7 day free trials for premium plans upon signing up, expensive yearly subscriptions for products that ten years ago would have been unthinkable as anything other than one time purchases, you name it. Capitalists have used the internet to minmax their penny pinching.

They gotta do for VR what they did for handheld gaming. It’s just way too expensive for most people to give a shit rn

On the bright side there’s about a 100% guarantee that any game he shits out is gonna be terrible. You can rig, bribe, and exploit your way through literally anything except creating good art. The industry’s seen plenty of attempts already

And if it’s good then ill just pirate it :3

No sorry, it doesn’t make comments like yours necessary and if you want to know why scroll up and read again

I don’t even know what you’re trying to say

This is a fallacy that’s been deconstructed so many fucking times the fact im about to do it again for you makes my tummy hurt a little bit but ill do it anyways

You’re interpreting that quote as there being either one issue we can globally engage in, or another. But that’s not how it is. You could also go into any thread talking about violence against dogs, or violence against the elderly, or against Palestinians, and make the same annoying pointless whataboutism and you wouldn’t technically be incorrect that violence against men is just as valid, but you’d still receive backlash every time. Why? Because you’re using this issue that’s near to your heart, violence against men, and instead of engaging with it in an honest attempt to improve the situation, you’re simply weaponizing it against others and their cherished social issues to the benefit of literally nobody.

You put activist in quotes but let me ask you, what op eds have you written? What charities have you donated to, nonprofits have you volunteered for? How many bricks have you thrown? I guarantee you none, because every single time I see someone doing the shit you’re doing, it’s the extent of their “activism,” and THATS where the quotation marks belong, on your shit, not anyone else’s.

I wanna hear the bullshit that definitely came out of that guys mouth

If it’s actually an important issue to you, why make your grand stand in the comments section of a post talking about a different issue

Canada and Mexico?? What the hell is he thinking

you should have tried winning

I think this signals the beginning of a very tough era for trans people more than it does anything about national security. But we shall see

No only a test and you just passed. Congrats

The ideological score here must be worth more to Trump than the strength of America’s military, already hurting for new recruits, which says a lot and frankly scares the fuck out of me

Israel is getting full-throated bipartisan support

They’re getting what

the reality tv star elected president fills up his cabinet with other tv stars and turns politics into a reality show, sounds like a fun tv show and one i really wanna watch. Why does it have to be real

Plastics aren’t just shopping bags. Plastics are used in clothing, machinery, solid state electronics, literally everywhere. You can’t just ban a material that’s been essential to the world economy for the past century, you have to replace it with something

out of the goodness of his heart im sure

I haven’t played these games but the way I see it, if 2020 was playable offline this really should have been too. I doubt whatever graphical bump they managed between then and now was worth this kind of insane trade off

But then again idk, maybe it was

Same. And I’ll chalk this up to there being multiple providers (fiber and broadband) in my area so no one can really afford to be too sloppy
