  • People should've dropped FB back in 2016 or when the Cambridge Analytica happened.

  • Mark Zuckerberg says anyone who quits Meta is 'virtue signaling'

  • This is the same guy who has called people 'dumbasses' at one point for trusting him.

    Which is it, Asspuckerberg? Is everyone a 'dumbass' for having joined you and your shitty platforms in the first place or is everyone 'virtue signaling' because they've finally grown tired of it? Sounds to me, one of these paths has the high road, so yes, I'll gladly do it in the name of virtue-signaling. A signaling of how that there's mountains of your bullshit that can't be withstood anymore.

    Coke won't allow anyone to put Jesus on Coke, but they'll happily put Trump on it.

  • Well, when you say 'many modern games' you're implying that every game sucks currently and in the last few years. Every year there will always be a lot of shitty games but it'd be discrediting to not acknowledge that there are good stuff released every year.

    In the past 5 years I will say some of the best games I've played that were released were Blue Fire, Inscryption, Flynn: Son of Crimson, Paint The Town Red, Huntdown, Iron Meat to name a bunch.

    One major gripe I have with people who complain about modern gaming, are ones who look to AAA gaming development and expecting creativity and innovation. When, they've long dried up on that. We're not in the PS2/X-Box/GameCube/PS3/360/Wii generations anymore where there were tons of that going on with unique games trying all sorts of things.

    The modern gaming climate has shifted into what's trendy, moreso than before. You'll have open-world games, but virtually samey quests to do over and over. You'll have RPGs, but offer nothing but different endings with barely any impact and just grind-fests. You'll have shooter games that care way too much about meaningless stats and other pointless data to keep track of. You'll have sports games that remain as more vanilla and dry of an experience than they ever been. (Gone are the days where in the 80s, 90s and 00s you had sports games released but tried adding flavor to them like NBA Street or Mutant League Hockey.)

    Games that are released but somehow needing patches after said release. Gaming developers and publishers having to come out and issue apology statements over them or some of them just outright not caring. Studios getting shut down because of unreasonable corporate demands. Studios getting shut down because of acquisitions.

    Streamers and YouTubers dramatizing games or whoring themselves up for a cheap handful of views and subscriptions. Out of touch with reality and themselves and abusing their influences.

    These are what make modern gaming suck.

  • Not really. The only thing I'd be missing access to is where I am on my finances when shopping and I don't have it.

  • What kind of a worker are you?

    Jump

  • I didn't because it doesn't matter what I do whether it's bare minimum or working my ass off, I get the same results from my job - shit.

  • This is how I feel about fast food in general.

    They are only good for exceptional situations, like needing to stretch rations so you don't eat into the food at home so okay you go to a fast food restaurant instead.

    No menu item at all is healthy but people conveniently ignore that. Regardless of the many programs and attempts all fast-food chains have tried to be healthy, they just practice wrong because they're still in environments surrounded by grease, fried cooking oil and processed pre-bought items.

    They should not be treated like you would at a sit-down restaurant that actually has waitresses/waiters, chefs .etc

    They're good for eating at very moderate and scarce amounts. Not a weekly or daily consumption level.

    The prices don't justify the quality.

  • How would you prioritize different subject matters if you were in charge of the education system?

    Jump

  • I would go by tiers.

    Kindergarten/Pre-School is fine as it is. Middle-School is where you're to learn the basics of life and in general of what you need to know when developing. High School is to be the place where those same courses are advanced, like you're to learn how to budget, how to file taxes, sex education a priority .etc

    College is the real deal where you're to learn even more advanced courses. These things would just assist eachother so nobody feels like they're left behind, everyone is on the same page.

  • Twitter ended up inadvertently turning to his favor though. It has turned into even more of a hotbed for unchecked, uneducated and loud morons from alt-right/qanon/incel/republicans.

    He gets TikTok though, it'll just be another platform to blast full volume even more.

    The guy is stupid rich, he could theoretically buy Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp and Reddit if he wanted to. He's just not choosing to at this time.

    How do you diminish the "aghh it's back to work" feeling at the beginning of the week?

    Jump

  • You need things to work towards.

    Also, if one thinks going to work is bad, there will not ever be a worse feeling than coming home fired and pondering how you're going to upkeep your expenses and a roof over your head.

  • What is something you could easily do but haven't out of habit?

    Jump

  • Numerous things. But, because of the straining amount of work I do at even 4 days (the place I work at sucks balls). I can't mentally attune myself or even physically attune myself into doing things I ideally want to do. I've gone into a bit of my routine. I could play a new game. I could watch a movie or a show. I could spend time in my living room with no tech in it. But I just end up not doing it.

  • Once that inauguration is through, I am not going to pay a lick of attention to media. I'd like to not hear about Trump, I will skim over his name and to give anyone an idea as to how much I avoid Trump, I mute any video/audio before a word is uttered from that shitty mouth of his.

    People need to understand that they don't control everything and everything is out of their control in some cases, like the wildfires. It's a tragic event, yes, but things are going about as they can be in such a time.

    If I get too wrapped up in everything going around me that I have no control in and how the media loves to shove a particular individual or a group of corrupted individuals down my throat, life will look ten times miserable.

  • Think of how stupid the average person is...

    Jump

  • I attribute intelligence to not just solving problems but also possessing rational, critical and logical thinking. If any one of those qualities is missing or more than one, yeah someone is absolutely dumb.

    I admit I'm not any smarter, I mean, I don't have much in the way of presenting anything I know academically, but I still am smart in other ways.

    I'm just proud that I'm smarter than 71 million people in my country, so that's a pat on the back.
