  It really has. We’re so conditioned into accepting this abusive relationship where we can’t opt out of questionable stipulations during signups and purchases.

  When I saw this earlier today, I almost just mindlessly consented without a 2nd thought. What stopped me was wondering:

  • what shitty thing they got in trouble for
  • if this a precursory legal maneuver because our user data has been compromised
  • or if they are doing wholesale transactions with data brokerages, AI companies, law enforcement, etc.

  I’m about ready to just leave the fucking job hunt and start my own business. Been at it since last May and have landed a total of 5 interviews.

  • Edited: I forgot the image, and I also clarified that you can contact them to optout on the legal page I linked to.

  I like how God decided to ragequit The Sims game he was playing.

  Oh no, I did some math and I realized I’ll forever be a big dummy for not participating in this once in a lifetime moment…

  I’ll never know what it’s like to throw $20+ dollars at a shitty streaming platform that’s hyping a videogame trailer that was made by a union busting game studio. I’ll need to choose between giving up $80 worth of groceries for the base game, or I’ll need to give up $100 worth of food for the full game since they paywalled additional content.

  All in all, that’s over a hundred dollars in the hole.

  Fuck.

  That.

  Holy shit… I don’t want this to be the new normal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The slopification of recruitment⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not.

  And? What fucks are there left to give about a publically malicious/murderous government buying a publically malicious company which publically destroys their creatives ability to stay alive in this capitalist shitscape?

  I want the heart and soul of those studios (the creatives) to create a tsunami of indie studios to revive the long lost connection between the gamers and the makers.

  We have to support indie devs if we want gaming to be better for all involved.

  I know friend, I know. For what it’s worth, taking breaks from the doom and gloom of current events does wonders for emotional health. We all deserve some peace, and it’s up to us to enforce it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Israeli arms firms threaten journalists at UK airshow⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s good people too. Don’t lose sight of that.

  1. this thumbnail makes him look like a recently thawed out caveman who is grappling with modern society through angry noises, stupidity, and fear of what he doesn’t understand
  2. I suspect there’s a grift at play somewhere
  3. Refer to previous points as needed because we’ve seen this routine repeatedly
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The American E.V. Has Been Crushed. Will It Take the U.S. Auto Industry With It?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I fucking hope so. I’ve been driving since the mid 90s and every time I’ve owned an American car, it’s been a shitshow. I’ve owned cars built in the 80s (Dodge, Chevy), 90s (Pontiac), 2000s (Chevy again), and the 2010s (Ford, Chrysler).

  Each car has a number of similar issues: cheap parts, convoluted electrical/computer issues, leaks, lacklustre safety ratings, uninspired interiors, and blind spots for days.

  I only buy used that are 10-20 years old, fix them up and keep them on the road for life. VW and Subaru are my go-to at this point.

  1. the environment
  2. the cost of use is going to increase because their trying to avoid a financial disaster they created
  3. AI is being used to kill people in warzones
  4. It’s also being used by law enforcement to terrorize the population
  5. people, like me, have been replaced by AI and we’re about to lose our home
  6. lastly, do you wanna help people like Elon Musk?
