Nope, just governmental incompetence as usual.

No conspiracy needed. Government is simply incompetent. Which is why you shouldn’t have them making decision that effect your life as much as we allowed them to during covid.

But lemmy users just love to put big daddy government in charge of everything they can think of. Idiots

Sometimes I think people purposely miss the point

Are you trying to convince me that small business owners didn’t go out of business due to government shut downs?

And you call me a liar, give me a break

New experimental estimates of monthly business openings and closuresNote show that in April 2020 alone, more than 100,000 employer businesses (13.6% of active employer businesses in February) closed. These business closures contributed to 30% of job losses that month.

If you think government overreach during covid ‘inconvenienced’ people a ‘tiny bit’ you’re crazy.

My wife lost her job 3x, 3 different jobs, all because the government kept shutting down businesses.

Even my barber lost his business, I donated to a go fund me he put up to try to save it, but it wasn’t enough.

Because he stepped out in his own and took the risk of starting his own business (dude had 5 kids and he and his wife both ran the barbershop together) but hadn’t been in business for two years or whatever, the government shut him down and didn’t pay him anything.

He still had to pay rent on the space though, he still had to pay his loans to get the business up and running. I hope he’s recovered somewhat financially from that, but he never returned to that business.

Maybe he killed himself, I sure hope not, but people surely did.

So no, government overreach didn’t ‘inconvenience’ people ‘a little bit’

It hurt a lot of people.

I wasn’t allowed to eat in the food court at the mall with my daughter and we both had ours.

But because I don’t carry my government issued ID with me at all times (I have my vaccination stuff in my iOS wallet and my daughters in a PDF and pay for shit using my watch) the security guards wouldn’t let us sit down to eat.

It was perfectly fine for us to sit on a bench in the mall and eat though. It was perfectly fine for us to stand in line to buy food, too.

Just not good enough to present a vaccination card without a government issued photo ID to sit in the food court. I don’t know how the security guards expected me to have a government issued photo ID for my daughter though, maybe that was just a requirement for people 18+

So ridiculous.

Wasn’t it considered a conspiracy that they would even exist at all?

That’s some real smol pp energy you got there

I usually keep one handy at all times, just so I can hold it up whenever the time is right and proclaim loudly:

“Anyone wanna screw?!”

I’ve never played deep rock galactic. It very well could be the exception that proves the rule.

Feeling punished for not playing, and feeling like a company is trying to manipulate me with psychological tricks to make me play their game is why I don’t play games with battlepasses.

I didn’t mind Diablo iii’s seasons journey at all, and that had rewards that were missable. But Diablo iv has like 90 levels, it costs money and you have to do stupid shit like kill world bosses 15 times with them being on a timer.

I’m not going to set a fucking alarm to log into a video game. I play games on my schedule, not the developers.

It sounds like deep rock has a much more sane system. Maybe I’ll give it a try.

This sounds like some jersey shore level drama.

I don’t know why I should even care

I hate battlepasses

Nothing demotivates me more than a game with a battlepass. Really disappointed, I played and somewhat enjoyed the campaign, then totally lost interest at around level 20 in the first season.

Haven’t picked up the game in a long time, and it’s all because having a battlepass just kills the game for me.

It turns the game into completing the battlepass instead of just playing the game as I normally would. Ignoring the battlepass doesn’t work for me, because I know it’s there.

It triggers FOMO, but instead of making me want to play to not miss out, it makes me not want to play at all because I know completing battlepasses for me is highly unlikely

Can I transfer my license to a steam one?

This is one of the few memes I see that I actually enjoyed, good post

You need to put a little work in setting up a few different programs to all work together, the first time might take you awhile depending on how familiar you are with it (my first time it took me a few days to get everything set up how I like it).

But it’s worth it for the convenience you’ll enjoy
