He didn’t even say thank you to Mister Zelenskyy, not even once!

… Fuck.

I used to like dollar tree.

Well. They’re dead to me now.

Of course, I’m lucky enough that I can afford to shop elsewhere; it’s the duty of all those who are capable to abstain for the sake of those who cannot.

Here’s how I think a GoG subscription might work out:

The money goes into a balance on your account. It just accumulates store credit.

You might raise the question of “why would they want to do that”, to which I say:
it’s guaranteed income for them and they make a profit by selling games ANYWAY.
The fact that they get this income consistently is good for their books.

You might also raise the question of “why would anyone want to participate in that”, to which I put to you this:
I want to give myself a “gaming allowance” of a little bit each month but saving is hard. If I am paying GoG a monthly subscription, though, and I accumulate a balance of credit, I can get games without it impacting my budget outside of what I’ve exactly allotted.

What else do I get? The warm fuzzy feeling of supporting GoG. Which I’d definitely do anyway. Honestly, letting me turn my subscription into store credit is a huge boon. I don’t NEED any perks beyond that.

Oh here’s something GoG could maybe do, actually:
an extremely UNOBTRUSIVE cloud storage drive that they say is for Save Syncing (and automates this if you’re running the galaxy app) but that they’ll let you store any arbitrary files in it as long as what’s in it fits within the space they’ve designated for me… and furthermore if this space got bigger the more store credit I have built up, that’d be the tits too.

OH OH OH I thought of two other perks!

• What if the cloud storage suggestion also automatically “stored” “copies” (in your “personal” cloud storage box) offline installers for games you’ve purchased so that you can still download them EVEN IF they get “delisted” for sale?

• What if your subscription gave you sliiiightly more than the cash value in store credit? Like only 10% bonus.
  If I am paying $5.00 per month, they put $5.50 store credit in my balance each month.

I’ve been saying this a lot lately because it seems like arc words for the zeitgeist we’re living through but good gods above and below it just keeps being relevant:

Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

When shit’s this stupid, it doesn’t matter whether they meant it or not…

If he loses enough fans, he will have to blow himself.

It sure would be nice if the world would stop denying this new Holocaust.

Oh I get it, fitgirl will Make It FIT! Huh.

Wow so it’s not even a NEW plane but shitty high maintenance sloppy seconds.

The mandarin chief really does have a type…

You’re right, absolutely spot on, about several things but ONE IN PARTICULAR is this:

A human being helping a customer is, quite literally, an act of circumvention. Customer service EXISTS, SPECIFICALLY, for scenarios that require exceptions and skilled, knowledgeable internal maneuvering within, between, and around the cold mechanisms of machinery and policy. We tend to think of, say, purchasing items at a store as standard operation, for instance. But really, from the perspective of the business, its objective is to RESTRICT access to goods and services. The cashier manages exceptions to this goal. If the company has its way, it would take your money while relinquishing NOTHING.

Nah y’see all them wrinkles makes so there’s more skin than it looks like. This kitty’s surface area prolly comprises no more than 50% ears.

a squarrel!

a head so ugly only a guillotine could love it

Ah yes, “all piv s*x is rape (and/or) unnatural” (they would ACTUALLY unironically censor the word ‘sex’ in their verbal diarrhea) posts.

I remember seeing them getting more and more attention like ten or so years ago.

…Sometimes I wonder if the political shitstorm we’re enduring today is at least partially backlash against that in particular.

Like, the fascists print that shit out and frame it and say “this is what we are uniting against” and that’s how they convinced so many normies to follow them. Fuck.

… and now i finally understand what blorbo means. i mean i still had to look it up but this prompted me to look it up and this time it actually clicked

Strict parents raise sneaky, cautious, and paranoid kids.

oh yeah no i was just agreeing with you on a ‘yes-and’ basis and stuff

the only reason any developed nation is population-positive right now is due to immigration – and now that america is cracking down on that… i wonder if we’ll actually see the population decrease soon.

Human population growth is already plateaued and in the most developed nations it’s already net negative. in order to sustain break-even (human) population levels, there must be no fewer than 2.1 offspring born, on average, per {gestational reproductive caste specimen}<irrespective of masculine or feminine configuration>.

The human population of South Korea’s last reported birthrate is 0.78.
In japan, 1.26.
In the united states, 1.66.

There will be so few able bodied humans extant to perform basic upkeep in 20 years that fundamental infrastructural systems will not JUST be crumbling to dust from sheer neglect as they are now, but actively self-destructing from sustained systemic cascade failure.

Listen, if I have a chance to meet up with Nazis, pedos, and rapists, that means they’re all gathered to the same place and I can rid the world of a LOT OF SCUM at the mere cost of my own life and some volatile equipment. Not many people have a chance to do so much good in their life or death for that matter. Let them think they’re welcome until they’re no longer useful. And by that I mean immediately.

Instead of “if you’re not with us, you’re against us”,

It’s “as long as you’re against them, you can be with us.”

And frankly, that’s what we need right now.

First past the post voting is fucking garbage but this is how you’re supposed to engage it; it’s NEVER EVER EVER EVER going to be good for supporting the lesser of two evils.

Instead, the best thing it can ever do is punish the greater evil

And these are VERY DIFFERENT GOALS.

If people were voting to punish the Trump campaign, Kamala would have won.

Notably, people very much voted to punish Kamala instead. Even the ones on the left. And boy did we show her -_- now we ALL get to suffer.
