- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 7 hours ago:
My original comment points out the social credit system is something that doesn’t really exist but was used to scare western capitalists. I’m merely saying that non-existent Boogeyman is actually being used through a financial lens in the US instead.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 7 hours ago:
I’ve had a consistent score of a little over 800 before and after purchasing my house by paying off my credit cards ahead of time. I had no major long term debt other than a mortgage either. That said, this is pretty much the equivalent to that Chinese social credit score crap but it’s real in this case. It just means you’re ranking high in some opaque game on your financial prospects that the banks are playing.

Ah good times. I’m still traumatized over what a weeaboo at class said some very lonely people do to anime girl figures. To this day I’d never consider buying one - much less if used.

Same. Bell peppers have an overwhelming taste that overpowers everything they’re cooked with. Spicy chilies on the other hand are perfectly fine and welcomed.

What have y’all bought so far on this sale? I just got Detroit: Become Human for $4.

AC7 is great I must’ve dumped over a hundred hours trying to ace all the missions. You’ll be hard pressed to find better value.

It’ll be as cathartic as it’ll be catastrophic. I’m personally looking forward to the devastation this folly will bring, if only to see PC parts makers come back to the consumer market with hat in hand.

Indika is a fucking trippy experience. It definitely stands out from the others in this list in a very good way.

Maybe the next iteration can have some seeds mixed in the payload to sprout little trees and plants over the wreckage.
- Comment on Actual theft 2 weeks ago:
GameStop as I knew it from a few years ago is dead. Now that all almost all games are digitized, its stores only carry a handful of discs and cartridges with barely enough to cover half a wall in shelves. The rest of the store is mired in miscellaneous pop culture crap like Cowboy Bebop T shirts, pop figures, and some various other knick knacks. It can’t live up to its name so it might as well shuffle off from store fronts and on to the collective memory of gaming enthusiasts.

It’s quite buttery but it can be an acquired taste.

GabeN is one of those guys who’ll likely die a hero. Whoever comes after him has a chance of selling out and enshittifying everything he built though.
- Comment on JD, is that you!? 3 weeks ago:
It happened because an old man during the Bronze Age had a schizophrenic episode and hallucinated god commanding him to cut off his foreskin as proof of loyalty. Everyone just… Went on to humor him I guess and here we are thousands of years later and not much has changed. This is just proof of how traditions can be really stupid.

I used to really like their sedans. The 300 was the last good car they made before they were tossed aside by Stellantis to make fucking minivans.

Maybe possessions go off Final Fantasy Tactics rules. Too low a faith stat and magic does nothing.
- Comment on Game Over: The History Of Barcode Gaming 4 weeks ago:
Back in the early 2000s there was a Jurassic Park III-adjacent game that used the same gimmick. It was called Scan Command and the idea was the bar code scans would give you genetic parts that you could use to upgrade your dinosaurs. I very quickly found out you could use a thin blanket and rub the scanner back and forth over it to get as many parts as you want.

- Comment on Florida workers with criminal records trapped by temp agencies, report finds 5 weeks ago:
Working for temp agencies sucks so much. You can be really good at your job but it won’t matter to the company, they’ll drop you the second the contract expires to save themselves having to give you healthcare benefits. Temp workers also get treated like second class citizens with different badges and exclusion from company events and parties because you’re technically not an employee of theirs.

Don’t worry folks. He may have cut your insurance budget but his Senatorial privilege will make sure he won’t lose a dime.

- Comment on The House Of The Guy Calling You A Libtard 1 month ago:
A lot of the propaganda these isolated people are fed dehumanizes those whom Trump and the Republican party wish to target. These “victims” of propaganda shouldn’t be sympathized with or even pitied because they each have a conscience that they deliberately silenced in order to feel as part of something greater than themselves. Even if these people are somehow rehabilitated this time it’s very obvious they’ll fall back to the same patterns that got us into this mess to begin with.
The only effective way to break the cycle is to destroy the propaganda machine and force a change in the very culture and identity they’re a part of. You’re right these people aren’t a monolith, but you see some recurring themes like nationalism, Christianity, pride in ignorance, and toxic individualism that conservatives just know how to leverage to drive them into a frenzy.

Not some. All. We all got to live through his first term and the failed insurrection with the Jan 6ers. The fact they voted for him a third time is proof they didn’t care about any of that.
- Comment on The House Of The Guy Calling You A Libtard 1 month ago:
Depressing but not undeserved. These people have some less than altruistic reasons for electing the con man.
