Until 95% of games have this, and you won’t have a choice.
- Comment on Microsoft patent describes in-game advertising triggered by boss fights, loading screens, and cutscenes 18 hours ago:
Pretty sure that in a decade, the norm will be that ads are absolutely everywhere. Only holdouts (think Kojima etc) and tiny indie setups will be able to avoid it. Every AA+ title will be riddled with it, and just like you can’t imagine people just “accepting” that today, we couldn’t imagine people “just accepting” microtransactions fifteen years ago. Yet here we are.
- Comment on You made it to 21st of September! You know what that means 18 hours ago:
Fuuuuuck, end of summer. I could’ve gone without noticing.
- Comment on UK train operator nationalised by government after 30 years of privatisation 18 hours ago:
My country privatized electricity suppliers almost 30 years ago (coincidentally the same time period the UK train companies got privatized… hmm…) with the argument that the choice of supplier would mean competition would drive down prices.
HAHAHAHA psyche. Prices have never climbed as fast as right after that move and they’ve never come back down (and never will).
- Comment on Anon's class fails expectations 1 day ago:
The true horror is asking the same questions again to the same people 8 years later… and getting the same answers again.
- Comment on UK train operator nationalised by government after 30 years of privatisation 1 day ago:
I’m sure that “certain people” got very rich in those 30 years, which was the actual goal.
- Comment on Pilot project 2 days ago:
Sure we can think of better. It’s just that the only people with the power to change or implement any of it are financially incentivized not to. So they don’t.
- Comment on Lloyds Bank Denies Palestine Action Prisoner’s Mum Mortgage Over ‘Adverse Media’ 1 week ago:
“Are there any turds that aren’t made of feces?”
- Comment on Lloyds Bank Denies Palestine Action Prisoner’s Mum Mortgage Over ‘Adverse Media’ 1 week ago:
Yeah, was inevitable that “China-style social credit” systems would eventually come here as well. Sad to see but not surprising in the least. The goal is to make sure there is no grassroots support for these causes, stopping just short of making the entire premise (support for Palestine) illegal itself.
- Comment on Women accounted for almost all of job gains in August. Here’s why 2 weeks ago:
Whenever I see a “x amount of jobs created” headline, in my head it translates to “Yeah, but how many of those are actual decent full time positions with benefits?”
- Comment on That would be petrifying 2 weeks ago:
A portal to hell. Which just leads back to Earth.
- Comment on Trump Administration Is Undoing Plans to Boost Workplace Heat Protections 3 weeks ago:
Mostly because they can’t read in the first place…
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Right? I cannot for the love of me understand people who hate it. It’s literally nature greeting you in the morning with a goddamn song. What more do you expect??
- Comment on Hugh Hefner tried to warn the FBI about Epstein — new docs show they ignored him 5 weeks ago:
What even is this timeline?
- Comment on Hey, wait a fucking minute... 1 month ago:
Worked for me. Never officially diagnosed, but I know I’m neurospicy because my son was assessed and I tick basically every same box as him.
Can’t stop the people pleasing, it’s the only reason I don’t have 0 people left in my life. I already don’t have any friends.

Also imagine the burn if you vomit up stomach acid with pH 1.0
Instant free ranged weapon!
- Comment on Ecosystem services 1 month ago:
Can’t we identify the genes responsible for their stomach formation and CRISPR them unto humans, theoretically giving them the same abilities?

I once got a 2k camera + gear + extra (Sigma!) lenses for three fiddy. No Loch Ness monsters involved tho.

Last month? Takes years in my case.

“To Pa, who taught me to appreciate a good titty”.
- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 7 months ago:
Not yet.
Historically though extermination comes a while after mass incarceration. Much harder to do the latter when the public is aware of the former. It’s unfortunately inevitable at this rate though.
- Comment on MK Ultra 2: Electric Boogaloo 8 months ago:
Might actually improve things somewhat.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
One of the advantages here is that you don’t have to be the fastest runner in the group, just faster than the slowest runner.
- Comment on The cycle we are all living in 8 months ago:
… fuck
- Comment on Humans are part of the ecosystem. 8 months ago:
No, sorry, I stand by the “humans are a virus” side. A small minority aren’t, but most are, myself included.
- Comment on [REDACTED] 8 months ago:
Cliff racers! Fetch st. Jiub!
- Comment on Apple reminding me my iPad sucks 8 months ago:
Is that because it’s too old to be updated? Never had an ipad or iphone, so I genuinely have no clue.

Promoted to customer.

Logically, this would mean the dildo makers are also invited.
