Young people do young people shit, always have and will. I ate beef and vegetable soup for 3 months straight to buy a new engine for my race car 20 years ago...

Yes, thats what the very next sentence of my post was getting it.

Thank the both of you for summing up my point better than I did.

Not just that they exist but that they are a fucking huge drain on society.

As much as Billionaires are a cancer and the world would be better without them, Jeff Bezos never smashed the window on my car to steal my speakers, he doesnt come out vandalising public transport or parks and he isnt the reason my wife doesnt feel safe walking around at night. Billionaires are the reason we dont get more nice things, these assholes are the reasons we cant keep the ones we have.

They also make any sort of socialistic change harder, because any time you try to help the "underprivileged" anyone who wants to oppose it can hold up one of these wastes of oxygen and use them as the spokesperson.

A small but notable percentage of low income, low education people are just fuckwits who make terrible decisions. They had access to opportunities, they could have overcome their circumstances with just a little effort but smoking cones and stealing shit was less effort so they did that and these people are a comparable drain on society as the uber rich.

...Roll Tide...

Cover it in "Coexist" stickers and other "Woke" sentiments then join a Hummer club or some shit.

Like if I got offered a cheap Hummer now, Id probably drive it for the lulz for a while.

I think you're definitely right about the adoption speed, people wont be dumping their switches en masse to buy a 2.

The Deck definitely puts a dent in their sales but "i DoNt gEt wHy aNyOnE wOuld bUy a sWitCh" comments on Lemmy show just how skewed the demographics are on here. Its not aimed at us.

This is what cracks me up about this topic literally every time it comes up.

Everyone on highly tech savvy and linux loving lemmy not being able to wrap their heads around the idea that busy parents dont want to have to tech support their kids game console. They want to be able to tell Grandma "He has a switch 2 and wants the new pokemon game for his birthday", they want to walk into stores and buy accessories that WILL fit and they dont want microtransaction laden shit. One of the FEW things I still respect about Nintendo is that their AAA in house releases are FULL games (for the price, they would fucking want to be).

The 6 to 12yo market alone is probably enough to make the switch worthwhile from a business perspective. The "just tech savvy enough to work facebook" crowd adds in the profit margins.

I kind of agree with this.

Done really gourmet and done well, they are amazing. Nasty ones with fake cheese and just too salty enough chips... somehow also amazing.

Its the middleground thats crap.

Yep :) Its almost like some people dont realise this is a shitposting community.

Yep, you dont get it.

Just out of curiosity, what do you think I mean?

Then you dont get it.

But then who would I condescendingly windmill dunk on?

"Honestly Bob we all know that resumes are BS and people will lie, puff and spin any and everything they have ever done to sound more impressive and act like they desperately want to work for money. I want nothing more than to never have to work another day in my life and live in the lap of luxury but that isnt in the cards. So what you're holding is simply something to set myself apart from everyone else and get myself in this seat."

Goodmouth...

Ewwww

You mean after gold and diamonds essentially become worthless? A lot of people would definitely use it for medications.

The fact that you used the word "Cringe" means the song probably came out before you were born.

Kids these days think they invented pop culture references...
