My purity test is: actively helping. At minimum voting.

Otherwise don't complain to me when you just want to bitch but can't even make an effort.

(If your ability to vote was oppressed, ignore this, it doesn't apply to you. We're good)

I guess they're giving it back to the Native Americans?

This is still what baffles me. We aren't losing our country to a charismatic, two faced mastermind. We're losing our country to a fucking obvious loser. He's literally so bad it's hard to parody him since even the parodies are tame in comparison to what he actually does. It's ridiculous

Maga efforts assisted by Democratic leaders that also focus on everything else but class issues as well.

I'd have gone with the idiot

Typical enshittification. Brilliant and amazing technology taken over by private equity and run into the ground

I hate researching appliances. Literally every brand and model has a ton of haters (often with tragic stories of how the appliance caused thousands of dollars in damages). There's no way to research an appliance and come out with any sort of objective view point on it.

Sure there's high level takes (Samsung bad, speed queen good), but then if you dig deeper into those off the cuff statements you realize even that isn't true.

So I've generally just said fuck it and gone with whatever.

I feel like a huge number of franchises were started back in the day, but everything now is just sequels and remasters of old games.

How many of the current biggest AAA titles got their start in the 2005-2015 era vs the number of new franchises in 2015-2025?

Creativity seems to be mostly dead and games all have to be mega hits or they're considered a failure. There's also a distinct lack of AA games (the successful of which often later became AAA titles).

AAA games are legitimately worse now than before, but the gulf isn't as big as people are claiming.

And then gives him a 'replacement' family in compensation and somehow we're supposed to believe it's all better.

I remember sitting in Sunday School as a kid and everyone around me is talking about how good a story this is and how Job ended up even better off than he was before, but all I could think about is God deciding to murder my family and then thinking that some strangers would just replace them.

It's just so... alien. Creepy Eldritch being playing with humans like we're dolls. It was terrifying to me and I couldn't understand why the people around me didn't see it that way.

This is why I think it's funny people still believe 'the Internet is forever'. Data disappears all the time. If you really start paying attention it's scary how ephemeral the Internet truly is and how much is lost all the time.

Xitter is pronounced 'shitter' I'm pretty sure
