I mean, sure. But only if you mean in the literal sense
It's *exhausting* and takes away all the energy you have for positive things! We should be able to be dorky and nerdy all day and not waste our brains on the constant stream of horrors.
I'd try to argue with you, but the world keeps proving you right lately, and it's fucking repulsive. We shouldn't be here, and yet.
If more people treated these men like they deserve, we'd be much closer to solving some major problems
Do people not remember the insane lines and price gouging after 9/11? Stations raised prices to $20 some places (and had to issue refunds), and lines were longer than the 70s gas crisis.
And this is STILL worse. That's how talentedly inept these people are
Did Pluto Nash teach us nothing?
and let's be real honest; the product suffered HORRIBLY by losing him, and much of the talent on OW. What a disgusting story on so many levels.
Hilariously enough, I think this also holds true for the RE movies!
I'm old and have been playing them since the first, and they have ALWAYS turned into action at the end. Why are people shocked by this?
It can be undone, and we can pretend no one saw it! It didn't happen.
Now go scrub with steel wool in the shower until you feel clean again
It's funny that he's trying to use Marx's observations about contemporary capitalism instead of using his lens to view what capitalism is doing NOW. Almost like things change! Almost!
And honestly, Marx said exactly what you did. Meet basic needs and you have less crime. It's easy.
Bezos has an absolute say in it. Yes. He has the most say in it. He can raise salaries, pay his taxes, support local economies, etc. Things that reduce theft and poverty. He won't.
What bar do you know is going under because of theft? Do you know how bars work?
Ahhh, but if companies paid a living wage, you wouldn't have the amount of theft you have now. It's downward pressure causing the rise in theft. If you want to stop it, get corporations to pay a living wage and their fucking taxes
Actually yeah, they do. Why do you think they constantly close? You have to be in your 20s at the most, right? Because there is no way you've grown up without seeing the world around you. I hope, anyway.
And the issue is that big companies are allowed to do that. Period.
Punishing small businesses for breaking the law and allowing corporations with large donation budgets to break the same laws is a far, FAR bigger issue.
"So, stealing not from Bezos but future you" is one of the most wild takes I have ever seen. Holy shit. The brain rot and denial of observable reality really is impressive.
The idea that some people suck isn't revolutionary, bud. But, and think about this realistically, why do mom and pop shops do that? All of them do it out of malice? Or is it necessity to stay in business?
Why do mom and pop shops do that? You're SO CLOSE to getting it.
Ok, i know you probably didn't intent the double entendre, but oh boy did i cackle!
And you're dead on. Hell, even with therapy it's hard as hell, especially trying to bring that work out in the real world. Worth it, tho! I hope more men realize therapy ACTUALLY HELPS
I mean.... yeah. You could not be more right. I'm likely too old to get over most of mine, but dear lord I hope things change for younger generations. This kind of shame and guilt is doing more damage than anyone wants to admit.
That is a LONG conversation that i would argue, but then i realize that's deeply unhealthy and my internalized hatred is probably something to work on in therapy.
Sad that none of these men will ever realize that.
This might be the strongest argument for the arts, and the necessity to teach it, there has ever been.
My jealousy is off the charts right now! Thats so fucking cool! And now I feel cool by knowing you!
I... I might care about that show too much
WHAT?!?!?!?
Operation Epstein Distraction is going as expected. Badly.
Operation Epstein Distraction, he means
The only pattern I've seen in my lifetime.
Do they really think that my parents, who are in their 70s, are going to subscribe to an OS they barely understand anyway?
By miles. Crenshaw is a piece of shit, but OCCASIONALLY he'd be reasonable about something. He's challenged some of the insanity from the GOP. Toth is way worse, but that might also hurt his chances at winning
Bet he didnt see his defeat coming from the right
