I have a philosophy that purchasing games is only expected when you make it a better alternative to piracy. If piracy is easier/safer/more convenient, game companies like Steam should expect people to go that route.
My bad. Utopia doesn't exist anyway so it doesn't matter what we call it.
It helps to think of it like a religion. They are trying to get to heaven, they just believe they can get there on this side of the veil
Absolutely! I wouldn't have been able to raise my kids if my parents and inlaws hadn't both attended our church to help out. I wish my siblings were interested in getting the cousins together for more than just holidays but they still get together more than most cousins do.
Not to be a downer but even when they are "fired" they still get away with it because their work will continue to influence future work and the individual themselves will find another cushy, well-paying grift to take part in. This revelation will change nothing.
That's the sad thing about our current situation in the west. A group of people have made the system unstable and life for many unlivable. Young people who don't have sunk cost in the system to protect it recognize that the system is broken and that they are getting a raw deal.
That same group sets up a "counter culture" narrative to hijack the natural rebellion to the broken system by insisting that if we just break the system a little bit more, it will work and we will reach eutopia.
A lot of millennials and zoomers know that the (current) family structure doesn't work. Instead of being able to say, it's because we need to go back to a two parent household where one parent can be a caregiver to young children, it's that traditional families (which are remarkably rare) are what is broken.
A tyrannical government/global corporation/unelected bureaucracy micro-manages the citizens' lives to their own enrichment. Instead of being able to say, people should have more control over their own lives and global powers are too powerful and need to be broken apart, we need BIGGER government and MORE controls to fix the system.
Their instincts are still shining through the indoctrination, so we have to hijack them and turn them towards the hegemony.
I have season 1 of One Punch Man on my phone but it's subs, not dubs. Since I do most of my media consumption while driving cross country, I can't afford to read subs....
It's also unfair to the people who are forced to rely on their services
LOL! I totally forgot about that bit! Ahh, the good old days....
I don't do well with specifics but I'm kind of torn on this issue. It seems now EVERYTHING I watch has some little current year thing in it. Even if the overall presentation is good (Take Puss in Boots 2 for example), there will be one or two little things that make me roll my eyes because it is pandering (it seems).
But then looking at it in a meta sort of way, wasn't that the problem with SJWs back in the day? Now everything is pozzed, everything is globohomo and you have to point it all out? That doesn't seem to me to be the way I want to live my life.
I have, for the large part, withdrawn from current day productions.
Lisa could eat a (male) baby on screen in one of the episodes and Imp would be like: "That's women for you!"
All digital technology has this double-edged nature. There was a time that I was excited for an all digital future where an AI assistant helps keep track of your schedule and habits and helps you build a more sustainable life. Where you could seamlessly connect with like-minded people across the globe and where you can find anything you need to purchase or research instantly at your fingertips.
The sad reality is that any way that a group (government, private, or ngo) can use that to control you, they will. It will be used to surveil, manipulate, and control you. Unfortunately, anything that is taken out of the real world and centralized is going to be used by people who want to control people to control people.
That is soooooooooo gay...
I got Atomic Heart all set up and made it through the intro just to find out that it gives me terrible motion sickness. I played through Bethesda Doom just fine but that was a number of years ago.
Oh well, I guess I am just relegated to playing Stardew Valley until I perish...
What mods are you running/recommend for FO4? I played an inordinate amount of New Vegas but could never get into 4.
But see, the narrative says that Trump lost so, case closed. You have to trust the electoral science, bro. Do you know how coordinated they would have to be to blatantly and repeatedly lie to the public and get away with it?
I don't understand the motivation. I recently sold my car for scrap. Upon learning that the car would be crushed and melted, I was horrified and stole the car back. Why sell the thing in the first place?
The only two things that I can imagine being sensible motivations are A: They thought they were going to get a lot more at auction and attempted to take it back.
- The mom didn't tell the daughter what was going to happen and was hoping she could get the money out of it without the daughter ever finding out.
It's very interesting that if you voice your opinion, you are forcing it on other people. But if they teach young children their opinion at every stage in every institution, they aren't.
I know, double standards and "imagine if it was the other way around" but it still gets me every once in a while.
This is the way
I have no shame, how does one go about getting one of these 80k jobs?
Jesus' words are taken out of context by biblical literalists. You have to interpret his words in light of modern day knowledge and science.
There are nowhere near enough millstones in current year. That's why we need to be progressive and update to wood-chippers....
What lengths do you think someone would go to to defend their "right" to kill the innocent? Murder is their baseline, now imagine if they were upset....
Is that a cow? Because a cow is one of the easiest to understand gender binary/sexual dimorphism in the animal kingdom! Preschoolers left to their own would know better...
J6 never happened but it certainly should have.
They've been lurking about for a while now. They are most visible when a new platform like Gab or Parler ban loli. It's just free speech, man. Don't force your outdated beliefs on everything.
