- Comment on RuneScape studio Jagex confirms layoffs 'to reduce complexity, increase agility, and ensure we are fully focused on the areas that matter most' 16 hours ago:
I was about to start playing runescape classic before it got bought out. I played it as a kid and have friends that have stuck with it since they were kids. Friends told me to hold off because this new company is raising the subscription price. Seems like another golden parachute scheme for some scumbag ceo is underway…

No, one doesn’t have to entertain any such notion. And, one speaking like a monk doesn’t make one sound mysterious or intelligent…
What you’re essentially saying is, we should let something terrible continue to happen, causing many real people (often children) to actually die, because some people are paranoid about something that isn’t happening… In reality, government’s need they’re civilians. Especially in late-stage capitalist societies were civilians act as value generators or cannon fodder for the ruling class. The more people they have to feed into their profit machines, the better.
There are many counter arguments to the sentiment you shared that show how silly your stance is. I won’t waste my time writing all of them because I think you’re too steeped in your own soup to consider anything that counters what you already believe.

As an American, the craziest thing about that story is that Australia changed their gun laws after that happened. Imagine a government taking reasonable action to save lives… Wild.

A lot of us wage slaves live in areas that are too spread out to bike, have no public transportation, and we can’t afford to move to a higher COL area that has those amenities. For example, my commute to work is typically 70ish miles, one way. There aren’t better job prospects within my niche industry that are available to me. I’m working towards moving closer to work, but I’ll be moving to a smaller town that is even less bike-able/walk-able. IMO, your position requires an amount of privilege I don’t have.

Geeeez lol. We’ll here’s to hoping there’s no needles inside me! xD

Well… The surgeon wasn’t very good… He made multiple mistakes, that I’m aware of, and my issue is coming back a little over a year after the surgery… Now with staph infections because he used non-degradable sutures on the inside and they’re coming out! And I still haven’t financially recovered from the last round… Yay America!
Sorry, I’m not trying to unload on you. Really just venting to the void. No need to respond to this one haha.
Thank you for reading and sympathizing.

Same! I’ve dealt with several major health issues and been burned so many times. I spent almost a full year bed ridden, waiting for a surgery that was deemed “elective” when I could barely walk, and was in 10/10 pain while on the max amount of pain killers, and fighting with insurance every step of the way to have them cover things my plan covered. All the while, bleeding thousands of dollars to get all kinds of tests done, sometimes multiple times for the same test, and at an already significant financial strain due to being mostly bedridden… Anyone that tells me the healthcare system in this country is OK gets a 20 minute lecture, minimum.
Anyways, I found a seemingly legitimate primary care physician the other day. He was available, on time, knowledgeable, his staff could answer questions, and knew how to read blood pressure correctly. I was astonished. I’m still waiting to find out how his office is too good to be true but, in the mean time… 🤞
- Comment on Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package? 5 months ago:
True. But it’s an introduction to a genre that is very satisfying for the people that do enjoy it. But yeah, I haven’t played it for years and haven’t looked at the current price tag

Add factorio to this and it’s perfect
- Comment on How can we improve the judicial system that monitors our politicians deals (spotting for fraud, corruption) when it is not in the interest of anybody involved? 1 year ago:
Ok, I’ve voted in every federal, state, and local election since I turned 18, but my state is heavily jerrymandered. What now?
- Comment on Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can? 1 year ago:
Half the people I work with have kids and, if you complain about anything at all around them, they always have some way to minimize it and one up you. Got three hours of sleep? Well, with their kids, they only sleep 30 minutes a night on a bed of nails under a running stream of volcanic temp water. Starving because work is crazy, you haven’t eaten all day, and it’s 7pm? With their kids busy schedules, they only eat once a fortnight, on the toilet, crying into they’re meal which only consists of bread crusts their kids didn’t want. Like, sorry, I forgot I’m not allowed to suffer around you people because you made a life decision that requires extra effort on a daily basis.
