It was already happening. Plenty of people were insulting those complaining about the cost of living, saying things like “What do you mean? The economy is doing fine.” In Canada the finance minister called it a “vibecession”, implying it was all in our heads.

All these people are talking about asset prices while we talk about the cost of living.

Yeah I keep falling off Elite Dangerous, despite loving it.

Same. I want to like it but that engineering grind is absurd.

This shit is why I stopped playing Rust, Eve Online, and a bunch of other games. I can’t do the time sink anymore and to be honest, I’m not sure why I ever tolerated it.

I’ve been playing Abiotic Factor and Journey to the Savage Planet with my wife and enjoying them a lot, and a big part of why is that I don’t need to log in every day. With my guys I also occasionally hop into Dinkum, Volcanoids, Darktide (post-progression update), Helldivers 2… Even Darktide and Helldivers 2 are borderline too grindy for me.

Okay so I don’t have an example that matches IRL time like Animal Crossing but a game with similar style I can do. If you’re down with time progression like Stardew Valley, check out Dinkum, best summarized as “Outback Animal Crossing”

I mean the comments here seem to indicate most people see the humor. One of the top comments says it should have been a greentext.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Wife, is in fact, GNU/Wife, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Wife.

There is a good chance nothing comes of this.

Vermintide and Left 4 Dead’s rolling commentary works because they use it strategically rather than filling every moment of time up with bullshit. Borderlands just got worse with each game until the third one went off the rails.

People’s opinion on insurance: “boy am I glad that’s there if I ever need it”

Their opinion on having extra dispatchers to pick up bursts of activity: “why the fuck are we paying them to sit around”

Both of those things are stuff you pay for but may never need, but only one of them is a human and that’s the one we get upset about.

I’m a pretty hardcore lefty: do on-the-ground organizing, contribute some of my time to NGOs, am part of the working group on some causes, etc… Damn near everyone of note in my union knows me by first name.

So it comes as a real shocker to them that I think gun control as they want to pursue it is deeply misguided. This is not an emotional decision: my stance is informed by statistics, experience, and theory. You can actually have working gun control without banning anything.

Fastest way to lose your typical American living pay-to-pay is to start talking about how privileged they are. I’m glad people seem to have finally caught on to that, took long enough.

how could a Marxist ever get confused by China’s imperialist and state capitalist tendencies? You must be a lib.

lol

Queen of the neoliberal ghouls herself going after progressives again.

I don’t think revolution is the answer to solving problems

It’s easy to say that when you’re not living out of a shelter while working full-time.

Many Mass Effect players reported that FemShep was the better way to play the game. Many guys play female avatars in games because the cosmetic choices are usually more interesting. This actually came up in a study on MMORPG players many years ago, and I imagine it is still true today.

If white is not offensive, why would black be offensive? It makes no sense.

That seems fair.

Did you even watch the video? He was running away each time he ended up shooting someone. First time he tried to run but got trapped between some cars and was getting rushed by a mob.

Second time he was running at a good clip and he was hit a few times, but didn’t do anything until someone hit him in the head with a skateboard and he fell over. When that person came in to hit him a second time while on the ground, he shot them.

The third was while Rittenhouse was still on the ground. The other person pulled a gun on him but when Rittenhouse pointed his gun first, the third person held his gun up and backed away. When Rittenhouse tried to stand up the other guy aimed his gun at Rittenhouse, and Rittenhouse shot him.

All three times people rushed him while he was in a vulnerable position, the second person assaulted him with a deadly weapon, and the third drew a gun on him.

Rittenhouse is a dumb rightoid who put himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. That doesn’t mean that he is not allowed to defend himself from obvious threats to his life. As for anyone intending to protest without getting blasted, a quick tip: don’t fucking attack people who are running away because it makes it look like you’re trying to kill them.

Luigi likely did not do it and health insurance it trash that must be reformed.

Ah you’re right, I think that’s what matters more too. This is going to be one hell of a trial.

I never saw evidence for this claim. Do you have any?
