I know someone who retired early because our ticketing system changed.

They're going to stay there making bank off of insider trading until they're so ancient someone accidentally walks through and disperses the dust cloud known as Pelosi, and they finally decide they have enough money to reach supply-side Jesus.

I can't believe I'm doing this but considering a friend was publically named before in a controversy over pricing, I struggle to take this number seriously. People often misinterpret things to the point that they skim a few emails and think it costs $100,000 to set up a board room but actually it's that amount for several dozen board rooms which ended up being quite reasonable. That's a true story (with modified numbers).

Honestly fuck the cost anyway, I'd be more concerned about the extra-judicial powers being used here.

One of my friends dipped into "emailing his friend's bosses about the conspiracy against him" levels of schizophrenia during the COVID lockdowns and at this point I don't think he's coming back.

Can't help but wonder how many people we alienate from their loved ones because we refuse to take mental health seriously.

if trump waves his left hand, look what his right hand is doing!

This but all the time from everyone. Every large business, every government, every wealthy person uses this tactic. Any time you see something obviously strange or wrong, you should be asking what they're covering.

That said a lot of shit is happening with the mask off entirely now that algorithms are targetting gullible people and they just lap it up.

All of this isn't exclusive to rightoids, it goes for lefties too: how many of you reading this get roped into the latest fight over who can use which bathroom or racial representation at elite universities, while not lifting a finger to support the homeless, striking workers, or underperforming schools?

Fatshark has a bad habit of half-baked releases that take a year or more to get right. When they finally do, they leave it that way for a bit and then swing back around and completely change everything again even if we liked it. They just keep doing this shit.

I will not be buying Fatshark games until at least 2 years after release at this point.

American tariffs go crazy, somehow we non-Americans end up with the bill?

"We should boycott Amazon for firing all their workers in my province."

"Why bother, boycotts do nothing."

How is that the default response and not "FUCK THIS COMPANY"

Used to see the odd "genetics" fat person and they'd just be built a bit bigger. Now I'm seeing fucking waddling planetoids and that's not genetics man. Part of that blame belongs to individuals but part of it belongs to the food lobbyists and their quest to add sugar and corn syrup to everything.

Incentivise people to grow their own vegetables (or source them locally from those who already are) and disincentivise the purchase of processed and sweetened food. Have our agencies promote healthy recipes using weight rather than volume measurements and show people how to use scales to properly weigh ingredients and help make it as easy as possible to count calories.

Don't get me wrong, Americans really are fed an absurd amount of propaganda, and it's as likely (if not more so) to come from private sources as it is from the government. Watching American media from the outside is a wild ride, and it's no wonder everyone is so extreme.

That said, the DPRK is on another level entirely.

Last time someone told me a game wasn't for me I never bought any of their titles again. It has been years since that happened. I'm in it to win it on this one too. Eat shit Nintendo.
