I think it'd look better with a belt.

Simply destroying something is the easy road. Because it means you don't have to think about what the problem is, only know that it's bad.

It's definitely harder to build something from nothing, but that's not the "solution" being offered. It's tomorrow's problem that you don't have to worry about yet.

It's not the easier solution, but it is the easier thought.

So you're saying it can get worse?

Cooking takes time, ingredients, and if you want it palatable, ability. Fast food takes driving up to a location and saying "give me something easy".

It's not as fast as it used to be, but it's still relatively quick, especially if it's on your way home from wherever you are. Any extra time is just spent doomscrolling on your phone or listening to your preferred media pundit.

A genocide and a war with another country, which they'd probably like to turn into a genocide as well?

There's also a whole other population of Palestinians they've barely started genociding. Are you saying it'd be no worse if they started killing off people in the West Bank in the same way?

It makes sense to people who want to use the deaths of their ancestors as an excuse to do whatever the fuck they want.

The implication is that 11 is as bad as it gets. Unless you're like a hundred, you've never seen 11. It can get so so worse.

Yes, people are dying. And it's horrible. But acting as though this is the worst it's ever been or will ever be is laughable.

Don't forget his terrorist fist jab.

So you agree with my entire point, but don't want to admit as such?

That was literally my entire point. That corporations effectively have carte blanche to do what they want, then the tools they use are the ones to take the blame.

Video games are an escape, which can be a problem in and of itself even without exploitative tactics meant to squeeze them of profit... but again, that is a societal problem. The danger of escapism is not so great without something to escape from.

This is blaming the tool for the actions of the person using them.

This is not a video game problem, this is a societal motivation problem. The motivation of corporations is to make money, so they employ whatever means they can to achieve that.

In this case it's targeting kids playing video games.

The tool is not the problem, the wielder is. Saying otherwise is extremely disingenuous.

*an exacto knife and too much time on your hands

Ah yes, the games are the problem, not the system in which they are created.

It's the video games that are the problem. Clearly.

Indeed, he didn't create the party, he just says the quiet part out loud.

That's certainly what some people wanted it to be.

Also doesn't mean that's all it can ever be. Especially after 45 years.

Maybe it looks goofy because you're looking at a picture you took of your monitor instead of taking a screenshot like a rational adult.

It's also okay to have standards.

Just because someone dumps a bucket of slop in front of you doesn't mean you have to eat it.

Because it's nothing more than a popularity contest for them. This isn't the future of the country (or world) for them, it's junior prom.

To smash in the parking lot as a form of catharsis?

I'd prefer a Culver's.

Bbbbbut both sides....

It's people like you that make it hard to give legitimate criticisms of the lesser of two evils. They are in no way the same... they may have similar flaws, but one is far far better for us in the short run.
