2 天前Do people who make these memes actually play at tables like this, or is this hyperbole for the sake of clicks? Do they play at all?

2·6 天前Meaningless hair splitting. I still have my entire collection of SNES cartridges. They’re still playable, and no one can take them short of robbing me. If my ownership of those games was limited to a license that could be revoked, that might not be the case.
That’s not the story Billet told.
That’s not how you spell “steals”.
That is absolutely untrue. Games used to be sold as a physical object containing the game files. No serial numbers to redeem, no servers, no downloads or updates. Sometimes you’d get a booklet with the game that had some codes in it that the game would ask for on startup to make making copies a little more difficult, but that was it.
You’d literally have everything you need just on the CD, disk, or cartridge. We 100% owned the game and the system it was played on, and the only way to revoke that would have been to physically break into your house and steal it.
This whole games as services thing is about 20 years old tops, and it wasn’t even remotely approaching the standard for quite a while after that.
32·8 天前I can’t tell if this is an actual confusion about the difference between the American health care and social services systems or just like petty malicious internet one-upmanship.
Assuming it’s the former, disability payments aren’t actually part of the health care system in the United States. Like, you don’t get a payout from any organization that actually handles healthcare, it’s a separate bureaucracy that just serves to gatekeep disability income.
Imagine how much better the economy would be if people weren’t forced to prop up absolutely shitty companies they don’t believe in just to pay their bills. Like, we might actually have improving products and experiences instead of a constantly diminishing race to the bottom.
They’re filed with their state, not a health insurance company.
2·9 天前It’s crazy that we have intersex kids having surgery forced on them to put them into one box or another and at the same time people are pretending that it’s actually happening to trans kids. Like, literally building a society where this is done to one group of people while lying about it being done to another.
Imagine being lucky enough to have hands and squandering it with capitalism.
I didn’t even know sweat bees could sting. When I drove a cab I used to sit in a field with my feet sticking out the window and they’d inevitably come land on me and suck on my toes. I suppose it wouldn’t make much sense to sting your food source if you don’t have to, though.
