Lynching dissenters is how they shore up their own cognitive dissonance. They have too many nagging doubts about their ideology so they react to dissent with violence as a means to justify themselves.

It's very much like how some of the loudest homophobes do it to suppress their own homosexual desires.

Sounds just like the Stonetoss hate club. Faggots with nothing better to do than stalk someone doing something productive and call him names. Not call him wrong, just demoralize him.

The sinfest guy is really long winded. But he's productive, got to give him that.

The right wing didn't mind cancel culture 30 years ago. Back then it was "stay in the closet or else".

Devil's advocate: As a society we are very, very wealthy. We should be able to afford so much more.

As for an arcade cabinet, emulation could make these things super cheap. The carpentry would probably be more expensive than the electronics. As a side benefit, one cabinet could play a thousand games.

They are being actively promoted. Literally the bullied given a chance to get vengeance on the people that bullied them. It's a popular demoralization tactic.

Autistic people are very well adapted to hunting. Being in nature is literally healing to them. The autistic attention to detail makes hunting more successful. Deer don't care about your social skills and your tribe will love you anyway if you can feed them.

It's "exotic" and thus "neat". These liberals literally treat these endeavors like a zoo where the goal is to collect everything.

I say they're not profitable, but that may have changed in recent years as tech has gotten better. However, the amount of marketshare entrenching still makes it hard for upstarts to compete since the users and content are significantly more important than the tech and infrastructure, which can only be marginally improved upon.

Video streaming sites are not financially viable. Youtube, Twitch, etc are run at a loss for the sake of getting market share and suffocating competitors. Funding an entire industry for over a decade at a loss is not done for the sake of philanthropy.

Perhaps I should have left that detail out. Reselling the book is merely a means to recoup some of the costs. Even if the books were thrown away, getting to the top of the chart is a relatively cheap way to boost real sales.

If you want to get on the top of the NYT Best selling book list, you buy something like 5,000 copies of your own book from Amazon. Then sit on them for a while, put a fresh slip cover on them, and re-list them. It costs relatively little (because you're buying them from yourself) and getting to the top of that list gives you a lot more sales.

It would not surprise me if a similar scheme was done with video games.

Firearms are a niche thing?

I know reading comprehension is hard for you, but I want you to imagine this scenario: The year is 1939. The war hasn't started yet. However, we know exactly how far Germany's borders will extend at the height of the war. Now let's do a headcount on all of the jews in that region as of 1939. Assuming none of the jews flee the advancing army or take up arms against them. That's a potential 2.5 million jews to be captured and put into concentration camps.

And we can't know because investigating homosexuality from that angle is "bigotry" and a stepping stone to conversion therapy.

Yes. I purchase from stores where I only have to buy small amounts of meat at a time. This means I can enjoy many different prime cuts and they sometimes overlap because they didn't come from the same cow!

Okay so this week's sale was $7 for tbone, but the price is still very competitive with your whole cow.

And I told you my local store sells tenderloin for $9/lb. And I regularly pick up t-bones for $6/lb.

Why is reading comprehension so difficult for you?

The total cost of our all-natural, packaged beef, including processing fees for 2023, is about $7.39 per pound (take-home).

This is what I was getting at. This price is quite high and does not indicate much in the way of savings.

People brag about paying $9/lb and getting ground beef and chuck roast from their half cow deal. And they get a tenderloin too, sure.

Or I can just buy the tenderloin for $9/lb and the ground meat for $4/lb from the market. I'm getting a cheaper deal from my local supermarket.
