Totally agree. The first game mechanics were best.

First one really was peak. I like them all though

Another thing, say “I get to”. “I get to do laundry!” “I get to go to sleep soon!”
It does help
- Comment on The overlooked hardcore FPS: Is Insurgency: Sandstorm still worth playing in 2026? (A detailed review) 1 week ago:
Such an awesome.game. good review. Shame its not more popular.
- Comment on Does anybody actually work from 09:00 to 17:00 1 week ago:
Usually 8am to 5 30 or 6pm for me.
We are supposed to record 9 hours of work on our timesheet daily. Sometimes there isnt enough work but then you just do goals or organize shit or read some how to’s. I hate those days. I like being busy.
It is long days though. A 6 hour day would be fantastic but I’d get nothing done. Today, I spent 4 hours opening a program on several different remote PCs because it kept crashing.

Yeah exactly , but we are trying. The majority dont even try.

I meant other subscriptions.
- Comment on It's unacceptable that people like Jeff Bezos exist. 3 weeks ago:
Why have any subscriptions ? You own nothing then.
I’d rather ask Patchy 🫣
- Comment on It's unacceptable that people like Jeff Bezos exist. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I get the specific use cases for it. Thats fine. They’re not the issue. Its the clueless people using it when they dont need to at all
- Comment on It's unacceptable that people like Jeff Bezos exist. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah even cutting back would be good.
I haven’t been able to convince a single person of this. They’ll just keep their prime and Netflix sub’s while getting fed even more ads and paying for them. They think “this is the world” and dont even know how to change.
Coworkers were talking about their $200 or more cable+subscription bills the other day. I felt pretty good that day. People waste a lot of money.

Thats something I’d be all for
If youre able but unwilling to work, you get a decent living. Apartment and free healthcare.
If you want to put in effort, then you get to have fancier things. It makes sense. Thats how it should work now, except there’s zero safety net for those who can’t work.

Yeah, it does suck. There needs to be more assistance for those people

Unfortunately fb marketplace has a stranglehold on the used market, but damn have I got deals there.
- Comment on It's unacceptable that people like Jeff Bezos exist. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, ive read grapes of wrath! Excellent book.
Your example of a mop is silly though. Like, you can totally get a used mop at a garage sale. Or just dont use amazon for it at least if you must have a new one.
Also, have you not heard of eBay?? Yes, its full of shitty China amazon resellers too, but there’s real items there as well as tons of other sites people sell on.
My main point is, we are addicted and brainwashed to new shit we absolutely don’t need. If people thought about reducing and reusing for 1 second we could topple corporations. But no. Must have new. More oil to make more plastic shit to go to landfills. Throw out the TV when it breaks because nothing is repairable now etc get a new phone yearly etc.
- Comment on amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity 3 weeks ago:
No you can’t. Not in crony capitalism. Any honest business will go under, be bought out, or turn corrupt. If you are a multi millionaire or billionaire, you are absolutely evil.
- Comment on It's unacceptable that people like Jeff Bezos exist. 3 weeks ago:
I’m not blaming poor people. If anything they are smarter about what’s happening vs the upper middle class .
I was more complaining about the stupidity of upper white rich class folks listening to fox news and Joe rogan, with zero critical thought, who got us into this shit even worse.
But yes, its 100% the billionaires fault. I see no way to undo their damage unfortunately. As you said, the lack of education and brainwashing has people firmly in their wrong beliefs and they won’t change easily, if ever.
Now we wait until the collapse
- Comment on Anon needs a job 3 weeks ago:
Keep saving up then!
I would actually like to move someday, but its so nice and cheap here that I’ll take driving to places I like over living there and being poor.
- Comment on Anon needs a job 3 weeks ago:
I understand it, I just choose to live in less populated areas. I don’t believe humans should be crammed together like sardines in the millions. Sad way to live, for me.
- Comment on Anon needs a job 3 weeks ago:
Ah, I do feel bad for ya. Tbh you probably deserve way more pay than me. I can’t do any of that stuff.
Maybe there is just too many people in the world wanting the same job. Idk how to fix it!! I’d be all for automating everything as much as possible but that just leads to us being destitute slaves with no agency even worse than now. At least right now we have a tiny bit of power with our labor, which is all we have against the ruling class
- Comment on Anon needs a job 3 weeks ago:
I wish we could test this to be true !
Who’s going to get your garbage or run the sewer plant ? Who’s going to take care of the sick crackhead in the ER? Who’s going to fix your roof in July? Thus may sound mean, but I sure as fuck ain’t doing any of that for free.
It seems people think all jobs are working the front desk at best buy or being a waiter. There’s so many jobs you have no clue about behind the scenes of your everyday life.
- Comment on Anon needs a job 3 weeks ago:
Yep thats understandable.
I mean, I regularly work with people 30 years older than me. Its fine. I have friends outside of work. Work is for getting paid. You dont need to enjoy it.
This is exactly why ubi will never work. People will not do the crappy jobs if everyone gets the same pay. There has to be leverage there or youre never going to have a working sewer plant again.
Thats insane. I’d move if I were you.
- Comment on It's unacceptable that people like Jeff Bezos exist. 3 weeks ago:
If you can’t buy a broom without using amazon, youre gonna have a hard time with life in general.
Also in my comment I stated I don’t use Walmart. Rarely ever go to target.
And yes. All consuming is unethical, a slave made the phone or computer you are using this moment. However, that doesn’t mean we need to use amazon and keep directly enriching billionaire scum. How is that so hard ? Are people lazier or dumber than they used to be now in that they can’t search for 2 seconds to find a broom? How about a damn garage sale ???
Used is far better than new in a massive amount of cases. Americans are addicted to shiny new plastic because they’re brainwashed idiots that think they need new everything.
- Comment on It's unacceptable that people like Jeff Bezos exist. 3 weeks ago:
The fact that people can’t stop using this shitty ass marketplace is proof we are doomed. Its NOT THAT FUCKING HARD to buy ANYWHERE ELSE . i have not used Walmart or amazon in over a decade. Never really used it before either because I knew their plan. Destroy all other businesses so there is nowhere to go, take over the entire market, then sell shit product for more while being the only employer left. Tale as old as time.
The stupidity of humans makes us deserve this honestly. Now pair this with people who won’t get off their ass to vote. To fill in a bubble on paper. 100% doomed, dont even try to fix it.
- Comment on Anon needs a job 3 weeks ago:
Well sorry then. I dont really have sympathy for people who are able to work and won’t live where the work is because its “boring”. That sounds a little whiny to me. This is why I’m on the fence about ubi and such. Lazy shitheads that could work and produce value but refuse.
Obviously the disabled or unable to work should have safety nets, yes. But whiny people who dont want to do hard jobs or live in a boring place, sorry, suck it up. For millions of years if you didnt do the hard work, you died. Its not that bad.
- Comment on Anon needs a job 3 weeks ago:
Socially awkward, 0 friends from school , not born into money, (was never given an allowance or any if the sort, moved out at 17.)
A big part is that I’m good at making people like me (insecure), working hard, and willingness to learn. That sounds boomer, but goes a hell of a long way. And again, I think its because of smaller cities. I would never live in these million person cities myself, and I probably would have no chance there.
That said that was years ago before the world really went to shit. So I’m sure its a lot worse now.
- Comment on Anon needs a job 3 weeks ago:
Sir, we dont take kindly to hard work around here.
/s
It really depends where you are. Also, I’m not sure I’d want those shitty jobs when tbh, I have a lot more value to offer than stocking shelves. Even in my current job which is very specialized, I’m always wanting to learn and grow more.
- Comment on Anon needs a job 3 weeks ago:
So insane when i read these. I feel for y’all, that would really suck to apply that much. You could try moving to a smaller city?. Ive been hired at every job ive applied to, and I’m not even a programmer or crazy smart engineer type. And now I make almost as much as those folks. Its either dumb luck or I just give off good first impressions. If I had to apply now though, I bet I’d have a harder time because of tech bs and I’m old.
Ive only lived in cities ubder 200k people.
