A worker is getting out of his car at the company parking lot when the company owner pulls up in a new sports car.
“Wow,” says the worker. “How did you afford that beauty?”
“I’ll tell you what,” says the owner. “If you work hard, put in some extra hours, hit all our numbers, I can buy another one this quarter.”

Wage theft is bigger than all other theft. Some people are happy to be a cog in the machine.
No… no that’s impossible… fuck. 14 years, huh? I remember it was 11/11/11 and there were ads for it on city buses, and I thought “wow i guess video games are mainstream now”
Thiel is a dangerous piece of trash and I’m disappointed he hasn’t… let’s say… been beamed up like kirk.
If capital wants me to spend money, they have to pay me some first.
I’m not an overgrown child that needs to have the latest iphone and every meal delivered or whatever. I’ve got a public library and comparably cheap food I can cook myself.
When I was making money, I’d buy albums from bands I liked. Built up a nice library.
Some people buy albums
Perhaps they only ever interact with other republicans cause surely if they hated the democrats that much then there would be shootings in Walmart everyday.
I’m told there were about 500 mass shootings (4 or more people) last year. So we’re pretty close.
And I don’t think it’s 52%. A lot of people don’t vote or update their voter records. But there does seem to be a frothy core that’s getting high on hating people.
I think conservatives are more insular, too. If you live in a city and actually see and interact with other kinds of people, its harder to hate them as monsters.
The right wing are bad people and we need to stop pretending it’s just a difference of opinion. They in several fundamental ways suck.
And yet everyone’s all like “oh Goebbels was a gifted marketer and father we can’t say mean things”. Fuck 'em. They can choose to stop being shit any time they want. Until then, they deserve nothing but scorn.
Maybe? Conservatives are mostly about feelings. The “fuck your feelings” thing was a confession and projection, as most conservative accusations are.
Something should have been fired, that’s for sure
RFK sucks and is probably in the top 10 most harmful people alive right now.
I feel like they’d make more money if they targeted lower end machines. My friend has a potato laptop and would enjoy borderlands, so they’re out of luck. They’re not going to spend any money on a new gaming toy because it’s not that big a hobby for them. I imagine there are many such people.
I liked that one but weirdly there’s no NG+ and the DLC kind of sucked. I finished it with a friend and we were like, “that’s it?”. It’s not very long, and it ends shortly after your end of skill tree powers become available.
I don’t consider single player changes cheating. For something to be cheating, you need to break the rules agreed to by the players. If you’re the only player, you presumably can’t break the agreement you make with yourself.
Hypothesis: people who cheat in video games are scum bags in other aspects of life. I wonder if anyone’s done a study on that. I feel like the kind of person who has to cheat in video games is a broken sad sack.
Stuff I use the phone for in rough order of importance:
I could drop lemmy from mobile because it’s just a time waster and news source.
Wikipedia is important because too often people are interminably arguing something that can be settled with a 30 second search. Like, you don’t need to spend 5 minutes arguing about the population of NJ just look it up.
Games are nice. I don’t want to go back to carrying around a second device for games like it’s 2001. I could bring a steam deck everywhere but that doesn’t fit in my pocket.
I don’t have any notifications turned on except like direct messages, so I don’t find it much of a distraction.
Kirk was a piece of shit. Everyone defending him at the very least is shit stained by association
I forgot they were even making this game. BL3 was kind of bad, the pre sequel was painful. The tiny Tina one was okay but weirdly had no ng+ and shitty dlc. Meh.
Never played the original, but I don’t feel a need for remakes.
Kirk would not have given up his worldly possessions to follow Jesus. He also would not have followed the other instructions.
Troy Nehls is an idiot who should be removed from office. All republicans should be removed from office.
