- Comment on Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week 4 days ago:
No, no, no. They’ll just make it so that each of us is expected to do more since AI is “helping” us. Success under capitalism just leads to more work. The number has to keep going up. If they get their arms twisted they may give us a day off, but they will absolutely decrease the pay. My fear is that they would also go, “Oh, well, since you’re not working 40 hours a week, even though it’s the same work, so no benefits for you 🤷🏿♀️.”
- Comment on It's the dream 5 days ago:
They say this, but if I sat for 5 minutes doing nothing (if it’s not my break), they’d be on my ass. I’d prefer the meeting so I can rest my eyes at least while they’re talking.
- Comment on I'm not okay. 1 week ago:
I saw lightening bugs for the first time in years when I moved to the east coast. I was so excited, I caught some and brought them inside to show my cat (I let them back out of course). Next year, nada. So far this year? Also nada. I even made a point to leave the leaves. 😔

That’s true very true, but some people don’t like being uncomfortable (I saw as a prior non water drinker lol).
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 2 weeks ago:
Some people don’t like the taste? It’s like asking why people don’t like to exercise even though it’s good for them, or they complain about stiffness or what have you. I’m not a huge fan of the taste of water myself, but I drink it because it’s good for me and free (once I purchases a filter anyway).

Thank you for taking the time to give me a little glimpse into the game. I may wait for a sale then. Because I really did think it looked cool v

I remember when I first saw an ad for this game and thought it looked neat, added it to my wishlist and everything. I looked it up a few weeks/months later and all I saw were gooner posts, or articles about how she’s saving games with her jiggle physics. I removed it simply because I didn’t want to be involved with that community. It was so gross. 🤢

“THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY THINK WE’RE GOING TO STAND FOR THIS!
I’ll take two, one for me, and one to sellHOW COME THEY KEEP DOING THIS!? DON’T THEY KNOW THEY’LL LOSE ME AS A
repeatCUSTOMER!?” - Comment on Anon pitches a new game 2 weeks ago:
Because we buy the games, the microtransactions, the cosmetics, etc. Even just one purchase multiplied by millions is a win for publishers. Whales and content creators fuel the cycle even more. Meanwhile, currencies get deliberately convoluted: you need stars for a pull, which require sparkle farts, which you can’t buy directly or in exact amounts. Out of sparkle farts? $14.99 gets you 6000—enough for three whole pills! Don’t worry, there’s a pity system, so the most you’ll spend is only $400. And then you’re left with 60 stars, and if you just had 40 more!
You’re not forced to buy, but they make the grind brutal and a slog. If you’re really unlucky, it can even make actually playing the came harder. And as long as this system makes money, it won’t stop. Games are turning into storefronts with a mini-game attached. Good games feel like rare blessings, and creativity is often found only indie studios. Big teams have talent—they’re just not allowed to use it, their companies don’t care about that. Gotta make money, more money, all the time, forever, or you’ve failed.
I say “they” like I don’t play a few gachas myself, but still. - Comment on The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread! 3 weeks ago:
Monster Hunter Wilds, and my friend and I play the Outlast Trials together. I haven’t gotten far in MH, but I’m really enjoying it.
- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s wrong for you to want a relationship with your dad, but it is weird that you kind of brush over the cheating. Your father had an affair, does that not affect you? You don’t even look at him a little different? Do you not understand why your mom is lashing out or why she’s as hurt as she is? Again, I do not think her request is reasonable, but this woman, from what I’m getting from the post, was cheated on, publicly enough that it was a big scandal, lost her husband, her home, and her son. While everyone is having a great time with the mistress, she’s seemingly alone with no one in her corner telling her how what she went through was hurtful and offering her some comfort. You’re like, “he’s my best friend, so I don’t really care, him cheating on my mother didn’t change anything to me, it’s not like he cheated on me.”
Relationships are complicated. I don’t know what your relationship with your mom is, but if she wasn’t abusive and you do have some affection for her (even if she isn’t your best friend), I would talk to her. Both of you should explain how you’re feeling. Maybe she wants you with her because she thinks you like being around her as much as she likes being around you, maybe she thinks you two are closer than you actually are, or maybe she’s nuts and is making one final attempt to control. But your mom as seemingly lost everything important to her by putting her foot down against cheating while everyone is like, “finally, she’s gone. Just swap her out with a younger version.” I don’t know a lot of people who wouldn’t be hurt by that.
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 3 weeks ago:
I’m just so clumsy, I need the protection. I personally like my phone naked (it’s a pretty green 💚), but clear covers are usually flimsy so it’s covered for safety. I can’t afford a new phone, and cracks irritate me too much. 😔
- Comment on Console war, console war never changes 4 weeks ago:
Super expensive, low quality cameras and mics, a janky looking chat, an okay screen, and having to buy games, some of which are years old (Looking at you BOTW), for more than their original buying prices. It’s just greed. It’s always greed. They saw PS and Xbox selling at already crazy prices and just tried to put the switch 2 in there like it’s worth a car payment, or even up to a month’s rent if you want the system, a few games, and a working camera (since the cheaper one is only 480p). And they’re just coming out and saying they’ll be monitoring your screen and chats (which I think more companies do than we think). And they’ll brick your machine if they see any mods or emulations. Want to add a fun mod to Mario party? Get bricked, bitch.
If S2 looks appealing, I would highly recommend looking into the steam deck. I don’t even have the steam deck and this whole promotion cycle has me eyeing it hard which how awful they’re making the S2 launch.

You can get a date, if you lower to standards to anyone. No shade, but are you looking to hit up Ms. “obese, unhygienic, multiple kid having, dirty house and stinky 🐱?” Not saying that you should, but if you accept anything, you’ll get anything.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 4 weeks ago:
I think Bioshock 1, Inscryption, Portal 1 & 2(I believe that 2 wouldn’t be so loved if we didn’t already love 1, I like to think of them as a set), Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil, Nier Automata, and Okami.

“When you’re fighting with someone, think of it as tug-of-war. You choose how long you hold that rope, but you can put it down, or not even pick it up. Either way, neither of you are really going anywhere until one of you chooses to walk away.”
There’s a member of my family I strongly dislike, so I had to work on not taking the bait.
