because it’s sort of how the food chain works,

If you’ll notice, it’s not very often a vegan advocates for cheetahs to stop eating antelope.

Here is a nice little inflation chart I’ve assembled:

You people are upset about (analogy) gas being 5.31 a gallon when you should be upset that you don’t make enough to afford gas at 5.31 a gallon. You should make enough to afford a $450 switch 2, and the fact that you don’t is because your masters have been stealing from you for 30+ years. Or since forever, if you’re as woke as me.

Game consoles are sold at a loss. You are supposed to buy more games than the console costs.

That was a good read, thank you. :)

You know that thing our collective parents do when they want to win an argument so they just start attacking you for random things you did 6 years ago? That’s exactly what this person is doing.

The person above you, I mean.

Uh. I’m gonna guess no. Is there an anime lady with robots?

God, this image is cool. Very NaissancE, if you’ve ever played that.

instead of actually marching on Washington or organizing an actual strike that could do harm to businesses.

Lead the charge, dude.

Tesla is not a luxury brand by any stretch of the imagination.

Certainly not while they’re falling apart mid-highway.

I think people should trade the cars in because they’re a hazard to their health.

At best you’re wasting energy.

“My companies make great products that people love and I’ve never physically hurt anyone,” Musk posted. “So why the hate and violence against me?”

I wonder if having an unpopular car is bad for your bottom line.

It builds negative public sentiment.

If you’d rather bomb his house or something, you’re free to do so.

but did ANYONE believe he was capable of doing the things he’s doing now, then?

Yes.

Musk has been fomenting the right since he bought Twitter. I assume you just don’t keep up with his antics.

Also, union busting is bad enough. We don’t actually need to wait for him to start seig heiling to drop him.

Man, what if we abolished copyright, but also banned gen AI completely. I think that would be the funniest answer.

Human beings have a soul you can appeal to?
Not every single one, but enough.

Ha ha! We got this one for free!

I don’t think I run on AMD or Intel, so uh, yes.

Me too, man, I miss the 3DS era. I need to go back and replay A Link Between Worlds, at least.

Somebody might call it stethoscope theory, but I think that’s mostly a joke. Those other quadrants you’re talking about are not really on the left, they just pretend to be because it makes them seem more appealing. I mean, even the nazis pretended to be socialists. They just don’t get much purchase when they’re honest about what they want to do to poor people.

The first time that I tried chatting in a game, the original Modern Warfare 2, I was shaking like a damn washing machine trying to type out some “g Ood ShoT m An” to some other player. But I made myself do it. You don’t get anywhere without practice.

So, I would, yes. Courage is a virtue. It’s strength.

Holy shit that’s scary
