It’s like when I used to play madden/nba games as teen, nearly everyone complained about getting the same game every year but gladly paid nearly 100 hundred bucks for nothing but roster upgrades

Like this is obviously small potatoes in the scope of things but why do people behave this way about all services that objectively fuck them over

How did we just get to a point where we collectively allowed even digital games to cost this much

Like, that’s incomprehensible. I think the ubiquitous digital age of everything is what fried people’s brains, not Trump

The immortal science probably has a better explanation though

This shithole country cannot collapse soon enough

I’m starting to call people out when they bring up ai horseshit irl and not so kindly.

But tbh, it’s too late. You can keep telling me (as my friends have) that the average person isn’t a fan, but that means jack shit when the average person uncritically consumes whatever new treat machine is marketed to hell and back by Silicon Valley ghouls, including AI.

lol Elon musk is more likely to get everyone killed/impoverished than any president ever could

Hate that fucking man child to an indescribable degree

🙏🙏🙏🙏 super appreciate it! I think I’ve about rage it for now, but I’ll definitely try again after work tomorrow with something easier

Classic country is where it’s at

If you’ve ever played gta San Andreas, don’t tell me you didn’t absolutely fuck with k rose

Has anyone as incompetent of a human being as musk consistently failed upward so often?

I’m telling y’all the bourgeois’s greatest trick since the Industrial Revolution was rewriting history to paint the Luddites as undomesticated caveman and not workers rightfully concerned about the new ways in which porky’s latest toy would fuck them over

Reminds me of a great line about this in simulacra and simulation. “Childishness” is essentially an illusion

I think this also explains why a lot of neurodivergent adults are considered “childish” by corporate fucks by how they see problems in relation to how much. Maybe I should get into more team-based games because I don’t have experience with them, but it truly sounds like you’re describing a hyper-individuality bleeding through another domain. Love to live in a world with a bunch of individual people solving their individual problems and occasionally bumping in to each other to solve a problem collectively.

They’re software engineers. To them the problem must lie in the software and the solution is to fiddle with it

This is really funny to me because I do somewhat software-engineering oriented work, and I always end with “This is such a flawed design that needs to be reconstructed/blown up and whoever built it was only thinking about getting the job done to satisfy their personal interests.

The boys is the only accurate portrayal of superheroes
