My first “games” were the shareware episode of Doom and the HL demo disc. Didn’t have money when I was a kid so I rarely got to play on arcade machines in laundry mats, kof and Metal Slug mostly. Love them still, but it wasnt until we got our first family pc in early 2000 and I got to experience those that really pushed me into games. I honestly have no idea where those discs even came from,
I have the same issue. Too many kids. Haven’t really gamed in years. The only game that I got that was over 10 bucks in recent years was Doom Eternal. Other than that I usually play D2 mods or emulate. I really wish I could get into Factorio, but that game never goes on sale.
This is the reason why nothing will change. People continue to do the “easy way out”. Keep paying the people trying to fuck over the content creators and the consumers cause it is easier than to find bullshit to satisfy your life. Good job.
There is many reasons to hate them. The difference is, I don’t have to spam an essay on every vaguely animal related form to try to convince people. Funny that you already know that when animals are mentioned, PETA gets mentioned and people are smart enough to know bullshit when they see it. I hope you realize that you work for some really shitty people and get away. There is always time to make a good decision.
So that’s how the economy should be fixed. Let more people get away from paying what they agreed to pay. The only reason people are so for student loan forgiveness is because it actually effects them. You agreed, you signed the paper.
When you sign loan paperwork, this isn’t an agreement with "America’. I’m not saying that most companies don’t do everything they can to fuck people over, but you can’t not pay what you agreed to because you are upset at the world. That’s a teenager mentality.
Yes give people money for not doing anything. Thats fair. There is places with universal Healthcare, ask them how that works. Well doesn’t work more like. Free college will have big ramafications. What good will a degree be if everyone has one. Then everyone will have to get a university degree and cry about loan forgiveness for that.
Weird that people from all these great places come to America for real Healthcare. That’s weird. There is many reasons why people are broke. Some of them are self inflicted, some aren’t.
So strange that while the Healthcare is free that it takes months on a waiting list to get basic surgery. That most of it can’t be done there. Almost like the hospitals don’t have the time or money to treat everyone. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
There is options for people of they can’t afford Healthcare. That’s like complaining that you don’t have a 401k when you are the only person to blame. If we are throwing out star wars quotes, “There is no ignorance, there is knowledge”. People choose to be ignorant about their options because it is easier to complain and wait for something to fall into their laps.
I’m not a boomer and it isn’t a boomer mentality to think people should work for the things they want. If you really think that 6 hours is a long shift, just wait until you actually get a job. It is hard if you get an easy job. That’s a choice. So is getting a low yield degrees. Those are choices. If you choose the easy way now, don’t complain about the outcome later.
I get the point. It is just wrong. At the end of the day, you can’t make an agreement and years later say, “I shouldn’t have to pay this cause I’m upset at unrelated things”.
I wasn’t born with a silver spoon up my ass. I worked my ass off and used any resources that I could find. It took time and hard work. I didn’t sit around waiting for a handout and being upset at the world for not getting it.
Was it Scotland that did free college and what happened? People got bullshit degrees and complained that they didn’t get them anywhere. Countries with free Healthcare not being able to take care of people in a timely manner forcing them to spend huge amounts of money going to other countries. While still getting taxes for Healthcare. Free doesn’t mean free. Governments don’t make money. They take money from their people and use that.
You can’t blame a landlord for doing what’s best for them. They can’t take the hit for people just cause it is hard for them. What experts are you talking about? If people didn’t research before hand, they are the only ones to blame. Yes the automotive market sucks, yes the housing market sucks. That doesn’t mean crying about it and waiting for a handout will fix anything. I didn’t have any spoons. When was going to college I realized I couldn’t afford it and the degree I wanted wasn’t going to work for me, got a job, worked my ass off hopping from job to job trying to find something. When my car broke down, I didn’t get the car I want, I got a car that works and can get me places. Slowly moved up while finishing up a degree that can actually do something, found a stable job and now going back for a bs in something that might not be what I wanted to do with my life, but something that can help me lead the life I want. I’ve been trying to buy a house for years and instead of jumping into the first opportunity that looks good, I’m waiting and researching to make sure I don’t put myself in a worse position. You are your safety net. You shouldn’t expect someone else to pick up after you when you make mistakes unless you are a child. People like you confuse want and need. You want a nice fancy car, but you don’t need it. You want a huge house, but then you are setting yourself up for failure. I’ve know people that didn’t have the best start to their lives and made the best of it and found resources that could help. The people around them that just sat around complaining without doing anything about it are still doing just that. All you can do is call my argument names and complain that you should have shit handed to you. What’s your argument? What’s your way to fix things that doesn’t include bitching on the internet?
Look, not every opinion that you don’t agree with is a troll. >go back to reddit. Says the person that joined 3 weeks ago. Nice. How about you go back if all you want is a echo chamber. Reddit was perfect for that. The prefect place to pretend your the smartest person because you could report and ban everyone that didn’t agree with your narrow minded viewpoint.
I’m aware that people are pushed to go to college. I’m just not a moron enough to think that every degree is worth the same at the end of the day. If you didn’t study up on your path in life, well tough shit. You decided to get a degree in humanities, well your going to live with the consequences. Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about when it comes to what you study mattering. Unless you really didn’t pass middle school reading comprehension and still somehow can act high and mighty. The problem isn’t just the “system” it’s also about the individual. I actually am starting to feel bad for you. I understand the exact kind of person you are. The kind that can’t comprehend that they didn’t work hard enough so all they can do it say everyone else is lucky. I’m sorry sweetheart. You just suck. Nice straw man, I hate bringing up these kind of terms but your responses are typical social media brain damaged crap. It’s sweet you think you can argue. Ohhh, thousands for a shit house? So your going to blame other people that you aren’t smart enough to move somewhere cheaper and with a better quality of life? What’s next? You gonna blame Trump that your shoes are untied? Those damn conservatives. Got any other hot button words to throw out? Enjoy the image of that subway tunnel, that’s the only place your simple minded, victim mentality, my problems are everyone else’s fault, attitude will get you. I’m sure once you get some real life under your belt, you’ll realize how. cringy you sounded. Well hopefully. Just remember, money only solves money problems. Your are still the same person on the inside. You can get your student loans erased, you will just find something else to bitch about. A happy life cannot be bought, it has to be earned. Go out there and get it, maybe you’ll stop being so miserable. First step is to stop blaming everything else on your issues and look inside.
The world isn’t fair. It is impossible to be fair to everyone and having and real world experience would show they. Especially since fair is subjective.
The world is what it is currently. You can change your perspective or option on it, but that is only internal. You can change how you react and deal with the world.
No one should die on either side. No matter what, it is sad. What is worse is the people sitting on their high horses saying this is a good thing. Just disgusting.
Or you can not be a hypocrite and not support any country that endangers civilians. Bombing a government building isn’t like bombing a military installation. Regular people work in government buildings. Or does the janitor deserve to die for wanting to support his family?
This is the exact same issue I have about YouTube videos. If I ever see someone with 1k of terms in the description, I never watch their videos again. For example, I watched a video about a Doom mod. When I went to the description to look for the link, it was after ever doom related term. Everything from Doom Eternal (it was Doom 1993 mod) to demons, and shotgun. Just cringy.
Just read the post that started this all. I thought that hating a person for having a sexual preference that doesn’t agree with you, it’s exactly what the queer community was fighting against. Well you do you. Plus demanding aggressive support only is in really poor taste. Great job making a meme thread into political crap. Yes, let’s burn down everything because I don’t agree with a part of it.
This instance wasn’t a political sub. This was for the memes. A person stating their sexual preference isn’t being creepy. Just cause that one’s person opinion isn’t liked doesn’t mean they can be piled onto. Of course when you start stating extremist views you will get people that say the opposite no matter what. That’s what happens when you start hate. You get hate back. I guess you haven’t read the original thread.

Look you like fondling Microsoft, go ahead. Don’t go around telling people how good it feels. Too many false positive, too much information being sent back to Microsoft. No where near enough personalization or settings. Don’t get me started on the firewall. Might as well not have one.

At this point I have no idea if twitter dying is a planned thing or mismanagement. I made my profile my freshman year of high school and never logged back on. The only thing I’ll miss is having a general place for quick updates on projects that I’m keeping an eye on. Guess it’s time to fully utilized discord.
