Trust me bro, just one more data center, bro, I swear, just one more trillion dollar contract and we’ll fix everything, bro please, just a little killing bro, it’ll be fine, trust me.

Weirdest thing about this is that it would actually be comforting to me if there was a villain executing an elaborate plan. Instead it’s just greed that drives it. You put a regular joe through business school, give em a CEO position with shareholders breathing down their neck and they’ll start pushing shit down their customers throats in no time.

Gambling ads go brrrrrr.
A good third of the population simply don’t have the cognitive capabilities to understand these things and if they’re not protected by regulation they’ll always fall for some form of scam.

- Comment on The people who believe "progressiveness is just a fad that one grows out of" are the same people that grew up getting brainwashed into regressive politics. The belief is only true for them. 1 week ago:
Boomers at least had a reason to go through this development because they were still able to accumulate some wealth. With a good job in the 80s-90s it was possible to invest into assets that have by now exploded in value. That does make some people more inclined to hold on to the status quo.
Anyone after Gen x on the other hand has little reason to hold on to a system that keeps screwing them over.
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 1 week ago:
My favorite last week was 2 dead support numbers and a third that let to AI which happily told me it has a solution that will fix the problem. The link it sent brought me to the bing search page.
I was so happy to finally talk to indian support a day later.
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 1 week ago:
This is for the best. As someone who is forced to work with a lot of Microsoft infrastructure let me tell you things have never been this broken before. They keep doubling down on AI and it simply doesn’t work.

- Comment on Epstein details scrubbed from Mandelson’s Wikipedia page by shady paid editor— As the then-ambassador came under fire, an anonymous user tried to downplay his history of support for Jeffrey Epstein 3 weeks ago:
I wonder what that person’s answer was when as a kid they got asked what they want to be when they grow up. Fireman? Astronaut? Pedophile PR? Well congratulations.

- Comment on 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives 3 weeks ago:
It’s horrible. We already had that stuff figured out. Wiki pages and forums to make information accessible even after 20 minutes have passed. Fuck that development and everyone that was/is pushing for that.
- Comment on Steam Hardware: Launch timing and other FAQs - Steam News 4 weeks ago:
Same. My 360 controller must be 20 years old now. It yearns for a peaceful life in the dusty old tech box in the basement but I can’t let it go yet.

- Comment on If cannibalism were the norm and human meat was freely available in grocery stores, there would surely be people who prefered to eat only the meat of people of their own ethnicity or only women's meat 5 weeks ago:
I like how you defend it multiple times. Guys this fictional dystopian story about human children raised like cattle to be harvested isn’t as bad as our reality where they’re sex trafficked to billionaires, I swear. Just some lighthearted horror sitcom. Look they put up a big seasoning box so the kids can play with that instead of sand. Ha, they keep sneezing. How cute.

Hello there, human meat butcher, fetch me a flank of a former league of legends player that died after a diet of nothing but energy drinks and chicken tendies. Nono, this one isn’t pale enough. I want only your finest. Bring me muscles that have never been used.

- Comment on London PR firm rewrites Wikipedia for governments and billionaires 1 month ago:
Let’s not forget, it took years for Wikipedia to even notice Neelix, the Wikipedia admin who made over 80,000 pages/links about titties.
He was just out there spreading the word of boobah but yeah this stuff can go under the radar for a while.
- Comment on London PR firm rewrites Wikipedia for governments and billionaires 1 month ago:
The problem lies in noticing them in the first place. If you make a thousand legit edits to various articles and then make some slight changes on some rich clients page chances are nobody will register this. Then again we’re on the internet so there’s always at least one guy who’d hyperfocus on monitoring something like this. The hero we need.

Ah it’s a <make up weird quotes that don’t reflect the general feedback and then react to that> episode. I too remember people in the street shouting “you never should’ve tried something new BioWare!” after making that memory up.
In truth the biggest criticism they got was when they released it unfinished, promised a bunch of content and then let it die because they smashed the numbers into a calculator and came to the conclusion it’ll not be worth it. No fucking shit. Fixing the mess you sold people for full price won’t make you a lot of profit, it’s something you do to make up for delivering unfinished crap in the first place.
Imagine a plumber who does pipe work in your house and when you call them because they did a shoddy job and it’s leaking they say “Nah, wouldn’t be worth it to fix this. I’ll rather go do a different project for more money.”
Fuck right off.
