For one your video game hobby doesn't involve states subsidizing stadiums to be built moving money from public services and education amongst other things so that a new flashy stadium can be built whenever they decide the old one's no longer good. It's so bad it's even done at high school's foregoing science and other education programs but will definitely be getting those flashier stadium and sport facilities. It's morbidly hilarious. It happens across the entire country. And if you're going to try and say "but it creates jobs" let me just say, lmao, and if you think its an adequate trade check out the recent test score data and reading aptitude nation wide. We are going to have to live amongst these people that can barely read and write eventually. But at least we got that cool stadium that one time.
"Doomscrolling" is infinitely more productive. At least then you're staying up to date and getting information that actually matters about the place you live and the planet you're on. Ignoring it and calling it "Doomscrolling" is exactly how they're hoping you'll react. But whatever you want to do dude if you think memorizing facts about our society and planet is less productive than knowing the history or stats of some sports team where they trade players regularly no amount of conversation will convince you.
They just keep moving fast and keep doing dictator shit and keep not being stopped and there will be nothing left to save in about 6 weeks. The judicial/law process trying to keep up and chase down everything they’re doing and continue to do just stays in a state of being overwhelmed. There was an amendment for this exact situation but, yknow.
Seems like this is happening all across the planet, not coincidentally as another world war is looming. A bit of encouragement to boost recruitment numbers. The 5 year time table changed to 3 last time I checked and that was months ago. Who knows what they actually think the timeline is. Seems to be accelerating only.
The NFL and superbowl certainly still plays its role well. Colosseum bread and circus still very much works. Distract, pacify, forget, worry about this other thing that has perceptive stakes you could identify with and back and feel the illusory risk of none real consequences if you align with one of the teams. Lost the political one with the real actual consequences that have more or less destroyed the country you grew up in possibly forever? Maybe a sports victory will help placate you, feel the rush of this victory ignore how you and your family in fact lost it all.
Maybe if we change the angle like "WE'RE TAKING THE SUN'S ENERGY AND THERE'S NOTHING IT CAN DO ABOUT IT" if we''re being mean to the sun maybe they'll like it better.
Why would it stop him? All he has to do is have Trump pardon him. They can do anything they want they have the guy that can hand out get out of jail free cards.
Why would you name it an occupation when it’s far far far worse than that. There will be a movement of humans, then a development of land, trespassers will be considered terrorist and dispatched end of that story. Occupations a birthday party compared to what they’re saying.
Desperately trying tap in to the general trust/safety feel that open source software typically has. Trying to muddy the waters because they’ve proven they cannot be trusted whatsoever
Lol.
