I don’t know, try it.

“Sweetie, I drew a ‘Cook for 2’ piece”

“Okay, 2 cups of ramen for us tonight”

Yeah and you don’t think corporate will connect the dots about that location and handle things in their own corrupted practices? Corporations exist to corrupt, not preserve and improve. How did you forget that?

And corporate is going to be like “ah yes…whoever calls in support of the fired manager, I’ll also fire them too and replace them with obedient employees who’ll never question us”

Nightmare fuel realized.

I have the real quote here:

“I am delighted to announce the appointment of Jean-Charles (JC) Gaudechon to lead Remedy into a phase of PROFITS!!,” Remedy chairman Henri Österlund said. “His proven history in shitting up gaming franchises and successfully leading international studios into the ground is an excellent fit to the current stage of Remedy’s business.”

Because it’s like asking you for an ID to purchase alcohol. And you’re standing there with a full beard, some wrinkles in your skin and having an aged look. It’s insulting.

But I guess you wouldn’t know that because OMGVALVE!!

Oh no, I pissed off the angry little children and their alts. What won’t I do? :(

Oh, you’re welcome. I say as I’m not trudging through that whole blob of text.

People are stating the obvious answers, which is fine and fair.

But, McDonalds and Fast food. People can live forever by eating grease. Fried chicken too.

AI is simply a tool.

The problem is the techbros thinking it’s like a cure for cancer when it is not.

A Clockwork Orange

Don’t really think anyone would dare touch it.

I hate all age verification checks, I even hate Steam’s when they present me that dumb number drop list before I see a game’s store page based on its content. If you know my age, you don’t need to ever fucking ask me. If I’ve told you, with a straight face and no malicious intent that “I’m over 30” “I’m over 30” “I’m over 30” then STOP ASKING ME FOR MY AGE!!

Now something I don’t see some people talk about is that, there are people out there who have lied about their age. It’s nothing new. You’ve done it. I’ve done it. We’ve collectively been building a platform for this to eventually be coming and we’re paying some of that price.

With Discord going Public in March and this rolling out in March, it goes hand and hand.

Yes because getting all mad and raging is the key.

…No it’s not. There’s too much mad and raging, it’s fucking tiring. Chill a little on some things.

The reality is, is that we’re going to be the only ones who care.

Everyone didn’t go from GMail to Proton or others. Everyone didn’t go from Reddit to Lemmy. Everyone didn’t go from Telegram to Signal. Everyone didn’t go from Twitter to Mastodon (Bluesky I guess works?)

This is going to be no different.

I didn’t expect one of my friends to wound up working in supervisor roles in retail stores. I always thought she had the tools to be creative and would wind up in some animation studio or something.

It’s like the people who want Trump to go to jail.

Nah, he’s going to die comfortably before ever seeing an ounce of justice.

I am not giving up on the internet, but I have slowed down quite a lot in the past 5 years. I check very few sites anymore, I no longer game on multiplayer. In fact, I was even content being on a 50MBps internet plan. But, my ISP stupidly got rid of that plan so I find 100MBps too much for someone who isn’t going to utilize all of its speed. I don’t need anything beyond 100MB anyways.

Been online for over three decades, the internet has helped me in many ways, but it also has made me feel the worst of ways. Like having incredulous bouts of depression that yearns for yesteryear’s internet because today’s internet is all noise. It’s just noise and nothing truly innovative has been made that is interesting. Everything that gets made, all serve means to increase advantages for those that cause problems.

If it hasn’t happened already yet but I predict within the next 5 years, all I’m going to care about is just streaming and e-mail checking. I’ll just join the old crowd.

And Google will fold.

Realize and accept that time is going to move forward whether I like it or not, as well as not having that fruitful of a life. Then just hope I get a better life once this one is over.

No it’s virtually impossible because we know and have a good idea where majority of the scammers are from. It’s just the countries don’t do enough shit about them.
