Being childfree is its own reward.

Yep, last console I bought was an XB1. I really only use it for playing 4K discs and for couch co-op.

I don’t foresee buying another console unless I have a really good reason to.

Exclusives are good for the company making them, but they are anti-consumer. I’d be open to buying Switch games if they were available on PC. But I’m not buying a whole separate piece of hardware (complete with various accessories) so that I can play whatever exclusives that I’m interested in. I’ll just pass on it.

The government deals in violence and knows how to handle groups of protestors, whether they originate as peaceful or violent. Don’t play to their strengths by engaging them on that level and giving them a confrontation that they can escalate.

Non-participation, boycotts, malicious compliance, quiet quitting, anticonsumption, and birthstriking are more my style. It’s not glamorous or quick, but governments are notoriously inept at dealing with situations that they can’t just beat or shoot at. They don’t know what to do when a hammer is an ineffective tool for the job.

I am also a fan of the hurdy gurdy. Here’s my entry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypuaJLHK_LQ

Yeah, there is no reason for me to be connecting my TV to the internet. I use a HTPC which is much better for streaming than the TV’s built-in apps.

So they can play the Diablo mobile game then?

Oh, now you’re saying something. That’s fucking rich.

A line from Rage Against the Machine’s “Darkness”

They say they’ll kill them off, take their land and go there for vacation

Death threats are not 1A-protected free speech. So terrorism charges against those making the threats, yes?

/we all know the answer to that question

This wouldn’t surprise me

“Us vs them” mentality.

I think it’s more in the sense of: if someone demonstrates that they are OK with collective punishment (i.e. by doing it), then they forfeit the right to complain about collective punishment when they are on the receiving end of it.

I oppose collective punishment, but if someone has already agreed to it being OK then I don’t have any reason to stand up in opposition when it happens to them. After all, they have already agreed to it and proven that it is acceptable to them.

If you oppose collective punishment, then that also means that you don’t engage in it. No getting to have it both ways. I’m not very tolerant of double standards.

Would a roof manufacturer specifically only sell dark roofing materials? Why would they not also sell lighter / reflective materials? This seems like a fucking stupid way to run a business.

100% agreed. Ethics won’t win this war. It’s all about cost and convenience. Most people are looking at their personal bottom line.

If you really want to gag, look up ventilation shutdown. It’s a method used to mass-kill chickens, e.g. in the event of a disease outbreak. It has also been used on pigs.

The entire animal-ag industry deserves to fail.

Shooting people in the back is a bad look. Especially when the victim is a child.

Millennials are more burned out because of having more time to have gotten burned out.

Compare people of same age. Get back to me about gen Z in 10 or 15 years and compare them to Millennails now.
