Aw man, I was trying to angrily shout racist hate speech into the void, but instead I ended up uninstalling Windows completely...

This confusion is exactly why Elon needs to protect his new trademark!

X is just nostalgia,

How is 'X' nostalgia?

Better hurry the fuck up then.

Taxation without representation, for one.

...as well as every other modern conservative.

Dude's wife is a doctor, his wife, and yet he still thought "wet ass pussy" was referring to a medical condition or something. Dude doesn't even know how basic female anatomy works. And he's fucking married. To a doctor.

I think you're giving "normal people" way too much credit.

"Enshittification" isn't a rabbit hole, it's a term made up by a pretty hacky young adult sci-fi author like a few months ago for behavior that has been happening and documented in capitalism for at least a century.

There's a "calmness" to it now... Maybe see how calm it is once wars over water, massive climate migration, famine, etc. etc. start becoming a daily occurrence.

I'd rather be blissfully ignorant of a lot of things. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of "forgetting" the awful shit I already know.

Right, so you were a mod and you don't like people calling out your behavior. Got it.

This ain't a "narrative," it's my (and many many others') personal experience with every mod that I'd encountered on that site.

Sure, but that doesn't mean the grad students that did the actual manipulation are blameless, or some kind of victim. A big part of science is integrity, and by the time you get to grad school, you know this and you know better.

What?! Who could have predicted this???

In all seriousness, this makes me sick. This article is horrific.

So if they're not drones, what is the implication there? That insurance companies are flying fucking spy planes over the US? Ridiculous that this is viewed as ok.

Bad bot.

Then why are they even still there? It's like they're so addicted to the small amount of irrelevant "power" they get from the position and they just can't give it up.

To me, enjoyability is completely separate from game length. It's more about enjoyment per hour of gameplay imo.

If you're enjoying yourself while you play, then the time was well spent. Like you said, try to remember that nobody is making you play every game you start to 100% completion, that's an entirely self-imposed rule.

That said, for me personally, the length of a game is generally irrelevant to whether or not I will enjoy that game. If I enjoy a game, I enjoy that game. If it's long, it's long. If not, cool.

The only reason we successfully banned CFCs, is because the more environmentally friendly replacement was cheaper.

If the motivations for fighting climate change (or any problem, really) don't align with the profit motive of the affected corporations, nothing will be done.

I have a very pragmatic view on capitalism. It isn't inherently good or evil.

I used to believe this as well. The last decade or so has made me reconsider that belief.
