Capitalism is a cult, complete with the abusers at the top.

Looks like spiked clothing is back in, boys!

And then what?

Someone ddos or hack this fucking thing asap, please. Is his password still maga2024?

There was an article I read somewhere about steering people with negative traits into careers that might benefit society despite their negativity.

The example they used with narcissism in healthcare can blend in quite well because the importance and appreciation put on doctors and nurses for by (some of) the patients they’ve helped encourages them to do the same saving for others.

If someone’s negative trait is they derive pleasure from inflicting pain on others, what career would be good for them? Slaughterhouse employee? I have no idea where to “steer” these people.

However part of me wonders how many more of them would be out in the real world affecting real people if certain multiplayer games didn’t have them addicted…

…looking at you, Dead by Daylight.

Whenever I entertain the idea of us being in a simulation and think what the purpose of the simulation would be, I could see the goal being to make… like… t-cell souls that are willing to stave off the disease that is greedy, selfish bigoted souls. Y’know?

…brb gonna take another bong hit.

Trump is cancer manifest. Every time he gets any of its iterations he just absorbs it like osmosis.

I’ll hop on this!

A chunk of my savings is going to be spent celebrating the day this guy fucking dies.

oh snap! you’re right! this is why I was on academic probation from film school! 😔

I guess we need to see him bone then?

Have YOU seen him pee? I just think if he wants to prove he’s not a robot, we need to see his piss.

I wonder if Russia knew their US plant would be so obvious that leaders would stop feeding the US intelligence.

Anytime I see him doing that fucking dance I just think of the end of Hereditary.

Buddy if something’s coming down your throat it ain’t me or my agenda. Have you tried not sucking dicks?

…what’s with the gun? is that what your throat’s been doing? ow! buddy the bullets hurt! stop it!

Actually it does exist; it’s on Facebook and— how I and my friends discovered it— Discord, under Activities.

It’s actually kind of nice to just chill and play the stupid game while waiting for friends to join lobbies or between matches or if someone doesn’t really feel like playing but still wants to chat.

It’s also not my first Freemium rodeo (that would be Clash of Clans, and Simpsons Tapped Out, which I stopped playing eons ago), so I’m kind of more aware/mindful of how it’s trying to hook me with a wall to pay to go beyond, but instead of paying I’m just like “oh! that’s all I can do for now. Cool. Closing the game/time to go do something else!”

Hello, my name is Doug and I’m addicted to Farm Merge Valley.

To be clear; nudity is fine, just not all-the-time, male-gaze shots put in akin to commercial breaks. Like Gurren Lagan; someone told me to try that one and ye gods the amount of times it was about boobs was ridiiiiiculous.

An no fan service/no upskirt/cleavage shots.

And no racist depictions.

Sorry, I should clarify those were my own choices I was referring to. I’m the one who has a film degree and now works in tech support.

I meant to be empathizing more than making fun of op.

Yes it’s an arts degree, and yes the arts are in dire straits right now, but uhhh I at least feel fulfilled having tried to make the most of my passion— which I recognize doesn’t pay the bills, but made me feel validated and boosted my self-esteem, which I don’t think any job would’ve ever done for me nearly as much.

…so anyways, how’s that reset going, is your machine back up and running? Great. Thanks for calling tech support have a nice day.
