It’s really just gambling with gaslighting and something telling you good job when it finally does something right.

“thing doesn’t work on me, therefore it’s the same for everyone or not a problem”.

Fuckin classic lol.

It’s wild when people like you act wise but expose the complete lack of worldview extremely fast.

You keep saying that and it’s not true.

Knowledge collapse due to AI feeding everyone the same answer without people having to do real research, aka comparing sources, will absolutely happen.

It’s like people can’t see data and extrapolate anymore.

Can you not see the numerous ways that funneling all information through a single source like AI is a terrible idea?

Hell off the top of my head, the consolidation of information to AI would easily let whatever company/govt that’s in charge change a narrative on a scale humanity has rarely or never seen.

Just for your information, sitting in the same “class” as tobacco and asbestos doesn’t mean what you insinuated here.

Asbestos is orders of magnitudes more carcinogenic than alcohol, don’t be alarmist

I have never once in my life lifted an alcoholic drink without that information.

Look, have a drink every now and then. It’s fine. Moderation is key, we’re not meant to live forever and a life lived for 150 years in a fuckin bubble is silly.

I get it, it’s a carcinogen we all know. So is smoke, should I stop enjoying a lovely campfire?

Should I stop leaving my home because someone could kill me?

Yea I don’t care.

We make excuses thousands of times a year for every shit ass corporation.

Fuck em. Figure it out and stop delivering FOMO dogshit to people.

Repairability is more important than some adult childs inability to hang on to an item or make the correct decision to buy waterproof said item.

Yea that’s my whole argument. We lost very important things for some bullshit.

Should be an option, not mandatory.

Nah hold on.

Manufacturers stole repairability and the headphone jack from us under the guise of waterproofing and now you make fun of people who use the feature?!?

If I had to give that shit up then I want the damn feature. Otherwise waterproof speakers exist and we never had to give up anything.

rent

Sonys thing not mine.

Exactly.

Fuckin cowards.

I’m here for the awful post of “when are the guillotines coming?” In reference to the largest child sex trafficking ring ever that’s being defended by the US gov.

Yep.

It’s also about control. Maybe it didn’t start that way, but Xbox absolutely wanted to get people into their ecosystem with gamepass and the deals, and then keep them there.

I’m so tired of these shitty underhanded practices.

I just want to buy a PC/console/handheld and then be able to go and purchase a game that I OWN. Whether physical or digital, the fact that ownership is even a question when we have hundreds of ways to verify digital ownership, is insane.

These companies built a shitty world and they’re finally paying a slight bit for it.

Nah gamepass is fundamentally flawed and it capped out well below their projections for a very simple reason they didn’t consider.

Games are long, you can’t binge 3 games a day. You might finish one a month, hell most people will finish one game every 2 months.

A subscription service for things where one of said things can take 20-100 hours doesn’t make any sense.

That’s letting alone the cannibalization of their own sales, a total lack of ownership for anyone exclusively on gamepass so they’re never really committed, and you have a recipe for complete and utter mediocrity.

Fucking hysterical how everyone was celebrating Asha Sharma and Xbox a month or two ago, even though SHE LITERALLY SAID 1,600 CUTS ARE ON THE WAY.

This is because their AI bet fucking failed, and so did gamepass.

Yet the only ones hurt are Devs, the gamers, and potentially IPs people adore.

What a shit timeline this is.

Again, claiming to not take a side when we can all see with our eyes that genocide is taking place, is in fact taking a side.

Ignoring something IS a stance, I hate to be the one to apparently burst this bubble for you, but you can’t just opt out of life and claim things don’t matter to you.

You’re giving me the “I don’t do politics and that’s fine” argument.

Politicians literally dictate our entire lives and silence in the face of political injustice isn’t JUST a stance, it’s downright cowardice.

Also duh fuck Robert Kraft stop the crap man, two people can in fact work together to be pieces of shit.

You do realize ed absolutely had the power to stand with Macklemore. He chose not to. Ed chose to support the genocide.

Macklemore is being nice, as friends generally are.

Ed Sheeran could not play this entire tour, and live the rest of his life financially stable and then have wealth leftover for his family’s family.

Dude who doesn’t even need it, chose the genocide.

I’m not buying this bullshit anymore. Human lives over money, every single time.

Same. I literally almost died because paxil wasn’t something I could even take and it was giving me serotonin syndrome.

2 years on now, after the test, found a far better drug with no side effects for me.
