They expect so little because it’s all projection, and they’re all still immature children with inferiority complexes and a need to have their hands held through life.

I love the first stat on that Dan McLaughlin tweet, the one that says 80% of households were made up of married couples in the 1970s as opposed to only 49% in 2020—because it shows how terribly misinformed about history he is. Why might it be that 80% of households were married couples in the 1970s? How about because…

The incels and religious right—the unholiest of all unions.

Again and again, this is partly religious and partly economic. Before women poured into the workforce in the late 60s/early 70s, your average white man had an unpaid indentured servant who performed cooking, housework and childcare in exchange for free room and board, leaving Daddy free to smoke and work. This was…

So now instead of playing a game for fun, it turns into work, where you have to buy the card you need to win. This is on top of all the other, normal arguments about NFTs, namely that there is absolutely nothing that a Blockchain does here that couldn't be done better and more efficiently through normal means

There is absolutely NOTHING of value nfts could bring into a video game, they serve no gameplay purpose and whatever could be done with them can absolutely be done without, more efficiently and with less impact on the environement. And frankly speaking, the notions of “profit” or “ownership” are of no interest to the…

Because it adds literally nothing. 

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what NFTs are.

I’m worried that all this backlash stems from fundamental misunderstandings of what NFTs *actually* are and their applications

If the company wanted to let you sell rare cards, they could just let you sell rare cards. Not like NFT has ever been necessary for that. Plenty of property and things have been bought and sold in games such as Second Life with cash and that came out 19 years ago, though I’m sure it’s existed far longer. E-mail and…

There is so much competition for userbase now it’s wild a dev would risk losing it. People don’t care THAT much about your game, there are thousands of other games people want to play as well these days, giving them an excuse to do so is insane.

Rinse and repeat

SBB was a popular game in one of the communities I frequent, and the moment word of this buyout came down, the opinion was pretty much unanimously “Well, it was fun while it lasted.” People immediately dropped it like it was on fire and made of spiders. 😬

The Maverick on the other hand looked cheap inside and out.

The vast majority of car buyers need a covered cargo area

My niece got it recently and I’ve lost family to this guy so... yeah I’m part of that cohort. Fuck this developer.

Also, as a woman, I find a guy who is still masking in public places to be incredibly hot. The mouth-breathers in my state ditched masks last June, more or less. I was in the grocery store last week, and a guy about my age was wearing an N95 mask like me. We made eye contact and I could tell he smiled as he gave a bit…

Whenever I see a Contour on the road, it is usually on its last leg driven by someone who is desperately and recklessly trying to get back to the meth lab before the next batch explodes.

Hummer without hesitation who needs a 4 tons ev truck? That brand had no point then, and no reasons to be now. 

Tesla. Because Musk.
