Omg who cares? We will see when it’s released. I’d be glad if it’s not the usual big-money-shit that’s delivered to us regularly.

You dumdum could spend 6.999 billions to help others and live well of the rest 🤷🏻
- Comment on The AYN Thor Lite Has Become Something Much Bigger Than AYN Built 3 days ago:
Never owned a console, but how strong is that Thor? There are games in the list which are really demanding. Do they then run in extreme potato mode with like 40fps or so?

Yeah me too. And boy have I lost things in my life 😁 But those I treasure dearly, I keep safe at home. Safe from me 🤷🏻
- Comment on At least it's not a NFT? 6 days ago:
Oh yes, heard of that. And on top of it: has no blood on it like diamonds…
Looks really cool, i wouldn’t dare to wear that heirloom. Just at home maybe 😁

Mindless worker-bees. People who can’t self-reflect. People who drown in money and their 23k is like your 0.01€. People with no intrinsic value whatsoever so they think a price-tag on a ring will impress their mate enough to say yes. Like a peacock, no pun intended. Or people so blinded by media and ads that they just do “what everyone does”. Or a combination of all those reasons and more…
Wifey and me drown in money but I still proposed with a ring out of aluminum foil because nothing else was there at the moment 😁 She still has it, many many many moons later. We don’t even have rings worth more than 10 moneyz.

Maybe people closer to median income think six figures is well off but it’s really not anymore. None of the people i know with six figure income think they’re well off, especially not in an expensive state like Massachusetts.
Mustn’t even be an expensive state. The fact alone that healthcare is bound to having a job, paints a horrible misery just 2 bad lucks with Bad timing away…
Especially considering that people tend to up their lifestyle with every additionally earned buck. If you dont save 90% of your 250k net a year, you’re still just poor
As a society we do a poor job of providing for our people, so there’s always another fee or subscription or tax. There’s always another person looking for a tip or to extract a profit from your needs
Guess that’s a global capitalism-thing, not just us-american. It’s the same here. We pay the worst for the most important jobs (nurses etc) and then wonder why noone wants to work there anymore. But ceo-pays rise massively like everywhere else…disgusting.
Maybe all those years of negative headlines never went as nationwide as I thought but anyone in ny, nj, New England area knew what he was and have no excuse
I only marginally got news about him before he went gaga as potus. But I’m no murican, so that is obvious. Maybe people just forgot? Or didn’t care, or did knew and cared but were evil. Or just dumb. I imagine the clown drove a big campaign-circus being “the change the USA needs”. At least he delivered. He made the USA great again. Just not for the poor but the very rich. Who would’ve thought a billionaire would do such a thing, I’m flabbergasted.
- Comment on Don't Call Me. Ever. 1 week ago:
There’s a solution for that: do-not-disturb. Wifey can reach me, for the of the world the phone is silent. Same for texts too. But those I can read when I want to. And also not on WhatsApp, so most “normal” people couldn’t even try.
- Comment on Screw you peasants 1 week ago:
I find it more weird that the vast majority of the USA is probably piss-poor to normal poor, yet even those seem to think that a billionaire will care for them and better their lifes. And then wear maga-hats. Or do people with 6-figures think they’re not poor? But I so would wish you guys that next election he might get a rerun, considering how the clown drove the USA into the gutter. I mean if that gestures broadly at everything didn’t help to vote differently, then what would…

Doesn’t make it any better…from one slave-country to another.
- Comment on The Evolution of Streaming 1 week ago:
No thanks. Usenet, sonarr, radarr, emby and that’s all I need. Enter name, wait some minutes, watch 4k HDR show or movie. I tried Netflix back then. As a German, I had access to 30%? And most of the things weren’t there, and the good stuff rarely got more than one season. Ugh. I thought the 3,- I spent were too much for that.
- Comment on Screw you peasants 1 week ago:
I read often of him, and it always sounded like a very solid idea. But probably too good for the common peasant and hence sidelined. The orange clown seems kinda like the absolute opposite. So OK I guess I can retract my bitter statement. There might be good guys left, they just never make it. Oh wait, that’s also bitter…

Non-american, so yes 😊

Fuck yourself EA. Wouldn’t buy any more shit from you. Actually I don’t buy us-american stuff at all anymore. Except indie-games.

ohhhhhhhh, it looked familiar but i was just focused on the “WTF? CENSORED?”…thx mate

Did he really post that verbatim?
Though, nowadays, if you have to ask you can assume “yes”.
- Comment on Are you too young to remember these? 2 weeks ago:
Jeez. You old! Damn, me too. Nowadays such a device would be 79,99 ans surely sold separately. Without cables of course.
As far as I remember that thing came with the 2600, no?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Very odd. Unless on those platforms I assume. To “protect the kids from anything sexual”. Makes you wonder who thought a horse sexual enough to censor its private parts 😁
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Is the horses bunghole really censored? What is this? American Facebook? 😁
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Who is this kid? Why would we care he uses condoms? And most importantly: Why is this spoon so super long?
- Comment on Doesn't add up 2 weeks ago:
Nothing against you as a person, but how exactly would telling you any idea possibly change the world? Are you elon musk? Then it might help. But he also would be the last person on earth who would want a change.
I could give you the ultimate idea that would solve everything, and it would be pointless. I have had many long debates about this for the last 4 decades, and I just got tired. It’s even more fruitful to discuss god with a religious nutjob.
And why should I not use stocks? To be poor and matter not? I’m also not rich enough to matter, but it still beats the prior.
- Comment on Doesn't add up 2 weeks ago:
Awesome! And what does that bring? Ideas i have enough. And now? what to do with it? See? It’s not that easy.
- Comment on Doesn't add up 2 weeks ago:
I’m making ~10-15% off stocks while putting 1hr of slow chilly work a month into it. Guess someone had to actually earn that for me.
And no, while I highly profit of this rotten system does not mean I love it. I do not, and would gladly trade my wealth for a normal society, in which everyone is equally happy and content. But noone wants my input on dismantling the system and start anew.

The first accusation is assumed/guessed and might be true.
The second one is very far-fetched, isn’t it?

That’s all nice in a socioeconomic, or even philosophical, debate, but <gestures broadly at everything> nobody cares. We are like a locust-plague and we will end like one.

Why blame China? They do this so you guys can have crappy stuff that won’t last because your country makes you too poor to buy local 😉
