Are you simple?

Botw and sequel are critically acclaimed across the board.

You’ve inspired me to rewatch some of the golden era simpsons

I’m judgemental towards you, also please buy my stuff!

Americans are particularly talented (but not alone) in this doublethink

I’m surprised you genuinely believe this. Western sensibilities absolutely value this centrally.

You are doing that thing where you are replying to something that you made up in your mind instead of the message that I wrote, because you were really hoping that I would say boycotts don’t work because your whole argument is based on it

Customers leaving bad reviews somewhere that is visible and influential to future potential customers works. It stops people buying the game and demonstrates discontent to the vendor. That’s it.

Boycotts aren’t Boycotts, they are just an underperformed product due to bad reviews. This happens every single day on every single platform.

“Nothing is black and white”

Or in other words, you have no point to make and just wanted to try and have a closing comment, offering nothing of substance to the point or the discussion other than a sarcastic “have a nice day” and some vague virtue signalling/insult. Well, thanks for wrapping up the discussion for me I suppose…

I understand people very well, I have had a long career of doing so. To suggest that people have no responsibility for what they consume is incel-level pathetic. Touch some grass and grow up.

You clearly have very little experience in the real world. People need to do better, because the freedom of the press and the propensity of businesses to provide goods and services isn’t going anywhere.

Just like being responsible for who you vote for, and a vehicle that you drive, you need to take some responsibility for the things you do, and what makes you act.

This is a common argument used to blame victims in rape cases - “she was wearing something provocative and I couldnt control my impulses”.

Your reaction to certain things is within your control. It is up to you to do something about it. If you aren’t in control and you are addicted to something, then get help - it’s that simple.

This adolescent infancy must stop if anything is to move forwards.

Yup, and watch them downvote it because they don’t like it

This whole attitude of “its not their fault they can’t help but hand over their money and buy overpriced shit” has got to stop

Economics is very simple here: there is supply, there is demand. If demand outstrips supply, the price will rise. This includes when is artificially restricted (or the market is flooded with alternatives by the same vendor to give the feeling of scarcity).

The demand for streaming services is the same. People will take the hit, so the price goes up until they can’t anymore.

The generation is contributing to inflation because of inability to restrain themselves from buying frivolous shit for extortionate amounts of money, because they can’t psychologically cope with doing without something, then complaining that no jobs pay enough while they try to launch an onlyfans career. Every generation has it’s flaws.

This then makes prices rise for everyone. The infantilzation to suggest they cant help themselves is astonishing. Companies are not going to stop making profit without intervention.

Both of those things, plus also that due to Linux is being best served via the command line, so a “GUI” like a window would be unnecessary

Face paint and glasses to break up facial recognition

That’s because they are English, and have English names. English names are over-represented in Hollywood for obvious reasons

A discord server with absurd amounts of over emphasised text, making nothing stand out, filled with emojis and broken up into different messages and sections at the exactly worst places for legibility.

No messages are answered in any channel, and you get amazing sense of all of the technology we have to communicate but zero ability to use it.

Ubuntu server is fine relax

Scarcity in a capitalist system. There needs to be a class prepared to do shit jobs.
