Except the arcade games were at least upfront about it and didn’t DELIBERATELY turn up the exploitation a few notches when a potentially EXTRA profitable player was detected by an algorithm made specifically for that purpose.

Maximizing corporate profiteering has become the best funded and least regulated scientific discipline in the world and it’s not even close.

You guys are helping my hardware inferiority complex (caused by the vocal ones always having systems that cost more than a decent used car) a lot! Thanks! 😁

the average loud PC gamer fucking sucks

Fixed it for you.

Those assholes don’t represent the average PC gamer any more accurately than the Gamergate troglodytes represent all gamers.

Unionization doesn’t always prevent layoffs

Fixed that for you.

I’m sure you didn’t mean to imply that unionization NEVER prevents or at least helps to prevent spurious mass layoffs, since that would make you a total imbecile about how labor relations in general and collective bargaining in particular works or at best an otherwise rational victim of gaslighting disinformation campaigns carried out on behalf of the people doing the layoffs.

That’s what she said.

Nothing

I’m no acupuncturist, but I’m pretty sure that it’s SUPPOSED to say “naan minutes”, which is time spent enjoying delicious Indian flatbread.

I guess you just eat your naan and then your ride arrives to ask you if you have any leftovers? 🤷

I use coasters, btw.

Gastrointestinal.

You need to look at gay programmers, and your life will change for the better.

Words to live by or class action lawsuit waiting to happen? Won’t know until you try!

I know I did back in the 80s and 90s when I was a kid. Perfect example of a monkey paw wish, though, as fascists gonna fasc

Kisma Dudee? Sounds like an Australian yogi 😛

You can’t immigrate out of the US

True. That’s called emigration. Immigration is arriving.

most other countries don’t have nearly as permissive immigrarion laws as the US, especially if you’re not a refugee.

That’s literally the opposite of reality. The US has a problem with illegal immigration because legal immigration takes years, sometimes DECADES, and costs thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.

As for refugees, the US has literally been criminalizing asylum seeking, which is a human right protected by international law that is followed by most countries, for almost a decade.

For the record, medical debt isn’t real debt. Don’t trust me, go Google around for it. Medical debt does not impact your credit score. So just don’t pay.

Fun fact: over half of American personal bankruptcies are at least partly due to medical debt.

Bankruptcy isn’t a magic reset button that lets you off the hook consequence-free (at least not for people with a net worth under $10m), and advising people to ignore debt is ignorantly irresponsible at best, malicious disinformation at worst.

Holy shit, 2 Fast 2 Furious is already 21 and a half years old?!
