- Comment on Arc Raiders is testing a PvE mode because "a large and growing group" refuse to hunt each other 4 days ago:
I think they’d have been better off putting in a pve only event for people to do like a horde mode or something. I tried to stick to PVE when I played but without the PVP aspect you lose the tension and the warm fuzzy feelings that come with encountering other friendly players. Yeah being murdered and losing all your shit sucks but it’s not that hard to get back. The real problem for me was the cheaters.

This was my experience as well, and I was watching while playing like Minecraft or dwarf fortress or something like that and it still felt like shit was taking forever to happen.

Because I want them to kill themselves.

Why? Because I accept that businesses exist to make money, not out of the goodness of their hearts?
Yes, there’s no reason you need to carry water for them. These dipshits shouldn’t be able to find a single comment online supporting their behavior. They should feel shitty and worthless about what they’re doing every second of their miserable existence. Companies can make plenty of money without enshittifying every single aspect of our lives.
If you think a system or game is predatory, the solution is simple: stop supporting it. If enough people actually vote with their wallets, companies are forced to change because it hurts their bottom line. Throwing tantrums online doesn’t change basic economic incentives, consumer behavior does
Sure, and I have a lower threshold for it than most but these companies will keep tightening the screws forever because there will always be new people coming in where the current level of bullshit is normal and they can push those people even further. My resistance to it alone accomplishes nothing.

People like you are the reason everything is getting worse all the time. Keep your worthless opinions to yourself.

Imagine coming up with this idea and presenting it to your superiors instead of being so disgusted with yourself that you immediately splatter your brains all over the ceiling.

“allow”
- Comment on Anon's class fails expectations 1 week ago:
But a 14 year old isn’t going to know that. They’d be thinking about shooting guns and doing obstacles and driving tanks around and shit like that.

To be fair learning to farm and do military shit sounds way funner than the actual crap you’re doing throughout most of school.

First of all, I don’t “have mine”, but at least I can keep myself employed. The boomers are the ones who rigged the system that’s currently fucking them over. It’s not my fault I play the game better than they did.
- Comment on ‘I feel invisible’: over-50s reveal harsh realities of trying to get a job 1 week ago:
I fail to see how someone who’s been working for 30+ years can have absolutely no connections in their field. You have have made 0 effort for that to happen. It’s not just “unlucky breaks”.
- Comment on ‘I feel invisible’: over-50s reveal harsh realities of trying to get a job 1 week ago:
I’ve put a great deal of effort into building and keeping up relationships with these people and demonstrating my value as a coworker to them. It didn’t fall into my lap. I’m also quite socially anxious by nature so I had to overcome that.
- Comment on ‘I feel invisible’: over-50s reveal harsh realities of trying to get a job 1 week ago:
I’m in my 30s and already have a network of ex-coworkers in a number of companies who could get me in the door where they’re at currently if I needed. If a 50 year old hasn’t maintained contacts for this it’s kind of on them.

- Comment on Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal? 3 weeks ago:
If no one prosecuted you for it, it might as well be.

- Comment on Almost 38 & This Is Where I'm At Now 4 weeks ago:
I found that forcing myself to go out when I was invited to things fixed this for me. Now I actually look forward to doing things with my friends again. I am fortunate enough to have some really good friends now though. That hasn’t always been the case.
- Comment on Almost 38 & This Is Where I'm At Now 4 weeks ago:
Same. It fucking sucks but it’s the only way I’ve found to making enough money to do the shit I actually want to do. Which I’m still not making enough money for because inflation keeps up with half my pay raises…

I can think of several arguments for needing a roommate. None of them have to do with making my bed. Perhaps that would fall into the “wife” category, but it’s hardly a priority. I can make my own damn bed just fine.
- Comment on Profit over people is a failed system 5 weeks ago:
I think the point is that the excuse to remove regulations was that they were making it too hard on businesses and increasing costs. So removing the regulations should have made it easier and reduced costs. This line of thinking is obviously insane though as no company has ever reduced prices they’ve already proven people will pay just for the hell of it.
- Comment on Well if that isn't just about the most evil thing you could openly admit to doing. 5 weeks ago:
Having a union allows them to represent themselves, it doesn’t mean the other parties involved don’t have power. It’s about balancing things out so nobody is getting taken advantage of. Yeah, police unions are a problem, but it’s because the balance of power is out of whack, not because the concept itself is bad. To compare a teachers union to that is laughable, they’re not taking advantage of anyone, they’re holding on by the skin of their teeth.

Because they are idiots and evil politicians and news media spin it that way.
