  Yeah, I think you got it exactly. Once we get used to a thing for free, we get very annoyed when it is no longer free.

  And fully agree with paywalled/paid journalism versus the hellish race to the bottom engendered by advertiser supported news.

  Yeah the implicit argument, to me at least, was that all journalism should be free. Which, sure but that’s a way larger discussion than just the internet. We’d need radically new funding models etc.

  It’s about a real problem absolutely, and a problem that is worthy of discussion but just this thought process rings so false (at least, among the priviliged western users whom I think make up a large percentage of us.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, absolutely, especially globally, there are still a lot of communities like that.

  In the developed west, personally at least, I think the people who would have that attitude tend to be a bit too old (or way too old) to be having kids.

  While I can't speak to OP's experience, that's the kind of sentiment that publicly expressed would make employment more difficult etc.

  Ha, completely. I’d just figured that was a Ukraine war switch but I imagine you’re right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure generalizing based on your parents is legit.

  Admittedly, “Y’all ever stopped to notice on how my parents fear…” doesn’t sound quite the same.

  Of course Buffett hopped off the ai train before it was cool.

  When have you ever heard someone say they'd be fine with their son being a harasser?

  It's also such a damn efficient workout.

  Thank you for the actual context, so refreshing to see someone actually look at what was written.

  I remember wondering about these games decades ago, I’ll add them to my IsThereAnyDeal lists.

  Thanks!

  If you’re following them around, that’s not living rent free in someone’s head, that’s just being weird.

  The whole idea of the phrase is the one living rent free is just enjoying their life while the OTHER person obsesses about them.

  If you’re the one doing the stalking, it’s the stalkee that’s living rent free in your head.

  Thank you!

  My God, I love this as a new meme format.

  Dumb question, is there an easy imgflip equivalent for adding a static header like that to an animated gif?

  This reminds me of the bags of sand moment in 40 year old virgin.
