  • I have not bought a Sony console since the PlayStation 2. I've "missed" a fair few games already. The ones that end up worth playing always seem to make their way to PC eventually.

  • Everything is politics. The only way to avoid politics is to completely remove yourself from society. Sorry it hurts your feelings to see, but that's the reality of it, so get over it.

  • I'm not invested in this conversation from 2 years ago, but I'll simply reject the premise that landlords have to make a profit. That's a big maybe at best.

  • If jobs end up not being done, it's because they have been deemed not necessary by the people. There are enough weird people to fill just about every niche, if filling that niche also allows them to live.

  • Waaaaaay too fast. Give me a dozen of your slowest men and some box graters. We'll get through them eventually

  • Seems more people got the "wrong" impression than the right one. Whatever, go off King. You're going to anyway lol

  • Well, seems like it missed the mark. I'll use the language I see fit, you language Nazi.

  • You can already pretend to be a kid in a room with other kids on discord! There's a HUGE CSAM problem on it.

  • Mate. Read just a liiiiiiittle bit further down in YOUR OWN SCREENSHOT. Fucking YIKES.

  • The problem is, it's almost never the people making the decision that get sick. It's usually their kids. I don't like punishing the kids for the sake of proving the parents wrong.

  • Sounds like we just need hotter Molotov cocks.

  • Every time I read this the number of feet gets bigger, and the number of teeth gets smaller. Fantastic.

  • Meh, probably. It's fun though.

  • No. Politics isn't just about voting. It's everything Every action. Every shitty post on the Internet. Everything you buy - you're voting with your dollars. Your attention. Your time.

    No, you individually probably don't contribute that much to the direct decisions, but your voice reaches others, helps mold their opinions, change how they see and interact with the world. Then they go and do the same thing. That's all politics.

  • Something like the climate is a centuries long process to change. Your vote moved the needle one way or the other, absolutely. But something like the climate takes generations, multiple administrations, choices, processes...

    So like... You didn't vote for it to be cold, no. You voted for a person who had a set of policies that will impact the world, moving things in a certain direction. And further, the fact that the world is as it is now is the result of all of those previous votes throughout history. You live IN politics. You are not exempt from it, your world is literally molded by it.

  • I'm not reading you. Nothing is implied by anything. You live in a political world. It is shaped by the politics going on around you. Your simple existence shapes the politics of the world. You cannot be apolitical. You can only be ignorant of the myriad ways politics influences your life, your abilities, the obstacles you fact, the choices you have.. Everything.

    I'm not saying you have to pick a specific side, or that anything you do means you're going to vote one way or the other. That's insane. Its a bit like Rush. You ever listen to them? If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. You can choose not to engage with politics actively, but you're still engaging with it by just existing. May as well do so with an informed opinion.

  • It's not about sides, in this context. It's just -political-. Whether you vote conservative, progressive, anything in between, you, me, and the whole rest of the world has to deal with that decision.

  • If you buy the current science on global warming, literally yes. The politics of generations ago still affect us to this day, including such things as the fossil fuel industry's massive prevalence.

  • Even at home. The luxury of indoor plumbing and utilities in general are pretty firmly political.
