Such as? Perhaps if you specified on what they’re getting a pass for people could be a little less blind.
- Comment on "Party in the USA" and "Pink Pony Club" are opposite views on America: "Yay, the US is really all the same!" vs. "Yay, there are real cultural differences within the US!" 5 days ago:
That’s almost as long as 2020!

As long as that house exclusively uses Linux.

Socialism would do what the majority of people wanted it to do, it’s not a benevolent entity the marches through society and fixes everything. It’s merely a tool for society to use to more directly appease the masses needs.

That’s the same with socialism, though.

Grass and soy.

The distinction, or ignoring the distinction?
- Comment on Booking.com cancelled woman's $4K hotel reservation, then offered her same rooms for $17K 2 weeks ago:
It was also four rooms. So closer to $500/room/night.
So really, not all that absurd a price, especially in a major metro area during a major event.
- Comment on People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line. 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but they can afford to debt spend for better things they end up spending less for in the long run.
Did you actually read the quote, or are you just going off the biggest text?
- Comment on Nearly a quarter of U.S. households live paycheck to paycheck, report finds 2 weeks ago:
And more bills come in to pay in that six weeks. And mouths still need feed and heads still need roofing.
“Just pay the balance” is great advice… if you actually have the money to do so. Most people in these situations don’t. Which is why they’re in that position in the first place. Suggesting otherwise is exceedingly out of touch with reality.
- Comment on Nearly all drivers say headlights are too bright 2 weeks ago:
Their height probably wouldn’t be as much of an issue if they lamps were properly hooded/aimed as well.
- Comment on Nearly a quarter of U.S. households live paycheck to paycheck, report finds 2 weeks ago:
When you’ve got rent to pay and mouths to feed, and paychecks dont arrive for another week (or more), sometimes it’s a necessity. And when emergencies arrive (as happens more and more often) people at this financial level generally dont have the “rainy day” fund to lean on.
This is not exclusively a personal issue, it is mainly a systemic one. Sure, many people could do with some better financial literacy and personal responsibility… but that’s nowhere near the epidemic of parasitic opportunists eager to squeeze dry every person they can. The desperate being the easiest to exploit, in most cases.
- Comment on Nearly a quarter of U.S. households live paycheck to paycheck, report finds 2 weeks ago:
No shit? Almost like I was using a common allegory for being out of touch with actual poor people to critique that commentary “advice”.

Ohhhh, just stop buying iPhones and avocado toast, why didn’t I think of that? It seems so simple in hindsight!
- Comment on YSK Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, diplomats, government officials. Everyone was terrified. 3 weeks ago:
It’s part of how car insurance works. It also works by underwriters and adjusters being paid to do everything they can to keep from paying out claims.
- Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior. 3 weeks ago:
So flooding communities with low effort reposted content is what we need?
- Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior. 3 weeks ago:
A user, yes. But having to do it constantly as you continue to re-create accounts on every instance you can find is another matter.
- Comment on Valves first title with a 3 in it 3 weeks ago:
A joke doesn’t have to end with a punchline. Sometimes yes, anding is the best thing to do with a joke rather than just laughing and moving on.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 3 weeks ago:
Sorry, clearly you are far more knowledgeable about such things, despite having nothing more than I do to back it up. I apologize for contradicting your opinion on the internet, that was my bad.

Why does it have to be? It’s basically free money for them, whereas they have to make deals and curate their store front a lot more. Games take time and energy (if you don’t just want AI generated slop, at least), so to get that to market takes time. Whereas microtransaction garbage is basically hit it and quit it and generates insane amounts of money.
