Yuuuup

And for $20, which, kudos to them for being modest but they really could have charged more.

Good on you. I think the only effective boycotting we have right now is the official BDS boycott list. They great news is everyone on it is pretty demonstrably awful.

Oh trust me I’ve been running the calculus. Currently I’m thinking give in and do furry art commissions and being a feral beardman somewhere around Mt. St. Helens

Not nearly interested in beating women or children enough for that.

Look I just want some decent food and I wanna play Factorio at the end of the day it shouldn’t cost 2000/mo to sustain that.

Contrast with the Silksong release where everyone was suddenly like “you know what, our game needs at 3 more months of development even though we’ve been at 1.0 grade for months.”

I’ve called the cops, they’re on their way.

Dude I would totally return to subsistence farming and taking a mule drawn cart to town if it meant I got to keep my internet connection and modern plumbing. The only thing keeping me from it now is property value inflation and the speculative housing market.

Nah not today. Tired of being treated like I’m not a reasoning human being as opposed to a name on the page of some backwater Reddit offshoot. How do you tolerate it? Don’t actually answer.

Okay good that’s totally reasonable. Been running into people who seem dead set on social and mental suicide because they think giving anyone money means you’ve adopted the entirety of their morals as well. Not great.

I think you’re purposefully misreading the intent and your supposed outcomes in order to manufacture an argument that you can both claim is technically correct while also using it as a defeter to anyone trying to make economic arguments.

Because if good managing in capitalism will ruin capitalism then what the fuck is the Iran War doing? Do you even watch the news?

You’re right there was a time where Ttump discouraged his followers to follow basic guidelines from the CDC and likely cause untold devastation. I’m sorry I didn’t understand your original question.

During the Covid Quarentine you were advised to:

• Mask up! Stop the spread, wearing a paper mask alone significantly reduces the chance to spread contamination from yourself to others.

-Social Distance! Staying at least 6 feet apart from other people in an area was considered the least, most manageable distance to maintain to keep out of range from particulate and droplet contamination as the settled to the ground.

-Stay home! If possible, work from home or make arrangements for delivery through services or close friends if needed for groceries and utilities on oder to keep the number of people exposed in public to a minimum.

Fuck you you boring cunt.

Man you’re late I ain’t going over all this shit again. There’s a whole conversation you can go look over and be weird about if you want to try and draw any more context from my interactions here. It’s all in the open in the replies. I don’t even understand if you’re trying to make a point or. White kniting at this point and I don’t care. Come at me with your own shit or stay out of it.

So you’ve met the median voter.

Honestly though don’t get too caught up in it. It’s the same as paper straws, a lot of this is constructed to make you feel like personal consumption has any leverage on any of this when the real consuming powers have nothing to do with us at all. You think Amazon gives a shit about a Prime subscription when AWS is taking a cut of every circular A.I. transaction that’s quickly trying to crash the economy into the ground?

Just don’t stress youself out about it, and don’t judge anyone too harshly. Unless they’re a real asshole about it.

Yeah and I would wager that tankies are actually even doing it intentionally some decent percentage of the time because it’s a movement based in ego and supremacy, and that usually follows that they tend to have a lot of sacrificable out groups…

You know I keep telling people this and they get mad at me. I have vices for sure but I don’t consume anything that doesn’t have either a: the ability to keep me alive for another week or so, or b: is currently part of a web of things that keep me sane and feeling like I cal scrounge some joy out of this life. All of which comes from some dark, questionable feed hopper of capitalism.

Oh yeah, I’m well aware. But I just get a real sense of despair if I start treating everyone as one dimensional charicatures of whatever they appear to be portraying themselves as. The moment they said the accelerationist vote was for Democrats I knew I was never going to take them seriously, but it is a lot of fun catching them in double speak and weirs logic they try to pull.

I want this to the tune of “I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die”

I genuinely believe that if you want to completely distance yourself from all of these companies and completely insulate yourself from their actions, you’re just going to have to cancel your internet subscription. Full on local net only. Or just throw yoyr comp in the river.

Or make all tech companies public, but we’re not there yet.

For a while there I was just upset when I’d order off a third party/manufacturer’s site, they used Amazon to handle sales.

Now everyone’s moved to Shopify and that’s it’s own convo nobody’s ready for yet.

I think we’re all going to eventually have to come to terms with the fact that any internet use is going to imply complicity.
