“we’d rather amputate that entire source of revenue than pay workers fairly”
Oh come now, Its not just about money.
Its about making sure frat boy culture of sexual harassment and assault continue unabated.

mmhmm.
Once you get above a certain value in your bank account, laws stop applying to you unless you do something catastrophically stupid as to threaten the whole scheme, then you’re hung out as a sacrificial lamb to protect the others.
I guarantee epsteins cartel never died. its headquarters just moved, and the leader changed. thats all.
- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 2 weeks ago:
Completely offtopic, but just saying Pollyanna causes me emotional turmoil thanks to the Earthbound Tribute for the 20th anniversary… 11 years ago, which means Earthbounds now 31 years old. .
Which…Combining the tribute, with the fact its 11 years old, just critically hits me for psychic and emotional damage.
- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but everytime a company gets sold, they always say a bunch of shit that always ends up being lies.

Why is this happening if nothing at all is changing and everything is sunshine and butterflies.
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 4 weeks ago:
oh absolutely.
The mods on imgur have always punished based on their personal beliefs and fetishes, not on the rules.

Punching nazi’s is always the correct, right, and moral choice and action.

There was once someone making the claim that drinking bleach and bleach enemas cures autism.
I told them to test that theory and go drink bleach.
I got banned… i forget the flowery language they used, but basically got banned for being “hateful”
- Comment on A secret cord 4 weeks ago:
every year I see warning sheets in hardware stores telling people not to make these.
Its easier to just take your goddamn lights down and flip them around so the plugs line up properly.
- Comment on We can play that game too 5 weeks ago:
Yep.
Linked in is basically facebook for weirdo “80 hour workweeks should be a minimum, thats how I show my dedication!” types.
- Comment on We can play that game too 5 weeks ago:
Yep.
Just cause you don’t actively use it every day, doesnt mean you don’t actively benefit from it every day.
People are so myopically fucking ignorant…
- Comment on Fresh dystopian hell from Samsung fridges with ads. 5 weeks ago:
i’unno, I just know that every person I’ve ever known that bought a samsung device that was not a phone, they ended up fighting through multiple warranty repairs and service visits before inevitably getting a refund.
- Comment on Fresh dystopian hell from Samsung fridges with ads. 5 weeks ago:
I just find it astonishing that Samsung still makes appliances… Considering how awful they are at doing it, and how much money they have to lose for the dozen+ warranty repair visits they inevitably have before ultimately refunding the device.
Maybe thats why they have screens, So their appliance division can finally turn profit by advertising you until their device dies
- Comment on Have you noticed the new way of promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein 5 weeks ago:
Snort this line of cocaine, an excellent source of Calcium (because we used crushed up tums to cut it)
- Comment on NEVER OBSOLETE 1 month ago:
Yep.
Several family members had these exact 433mhz emachines with the stickers. They were not power users, they were not gamers… They were people who typed with one finger chicken pecking to check email
- Comment on NEVER OBSOLETE 1 month ago:
They were never obsolete because, as it says on the sticker (that no one on the internet can ever seem to be bothered to read), that you can replace it every 2 years for new, more modern system for only 99 bucks.
and quite frankly, thats a fucking steal, considering what PC prices were like back in the late 90s, and with how fast technology was advancing.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Except that just means they’d optimize for that specific hardware in the steam machine and still run like shit on anything else.
Power wise, they said the steam machine is equivalent to what 70% of the steam users already have and use. If developers arent already optimizing for that, then one more machine out of thousands wont encourage it.
- Comment on Paradox Takes the Blame for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Sales Flop, Announces $37 Million Write-Down 1 month ago:
Yeah, that seems par for the course with current Paradox games the past few years…
Cities Skylines is 2 years old and still shit, too… Hell paradox is even going so far as to change the dev company working on it at the start of next year. Which is doing wonders for peoples hope for the future of the game /s
- Comment on Paradox Takes the Blame for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Sales Flop, Announces $37 Million Write-Down 1 month ago:
What? VTM2 came out?
When?
I legitimately did not know it was released.
Is that part of why its flopping?
Or is the gameplay bugged to fuck/story shit/etc?
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production 1 month ago:

- Comment on 1 month ago:
i almost never buy games on steam anymore…Even on the steam sales. The sales are a poor immitation of the great values that they were 10+ years ago.
I subscribe to Humble Monthly and, eventually, get almost every game I’ve ever wanted.

you do realize a washing machine can wash more than one towel at a time… right?
- Comment on This is the type of Q&A that makes the internet so important 1 month ago:
and you leave it hanging in the bathroom until next time you use it, ever done research on how much shit… both literal and metaphorical, gets launched into the air every time you flush?
- Comment on This is the type of Q&A that makes the internet so important 1 month ago:
That’s kinda of wasteful isn’t it? Washing a perfectly good towel after a single usage.
i’m doing a load of whites once a week regardless, so no, its not wasteful.
- Comment on This is the type of Q&A that makes the internet so important 1 month ago:
Yes, because I’m not a fucking animal.
- Comment on This is the type of Q&A that makes the internet so important 1 month ago:
No, cause I wash the fucking towel like a civilized human being.

Yep, and since it has both system ram AND dedicated gddr graphics ram… its gonna be double dipped in the price gouging by the memory manufacturers
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Yeah, I agree.
I detest Linus, but at least attack him for legitimate shit.
He was approaching linux as a basic idiot, like someone like me, and that is absolutely something a new average linux user would absolutely do.
iirc, that bug was known before hand, and no one bothered to fix it until famous man made video that got famous.
