“When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”

Especially considering the Japanese coined the term *karoshi* (literally “overwork death”) specifically to describe the act of working oneself to death/dying on the job.

“We literally had a war about this,” is America’s pinned tweet.

So many questions.

In my experience, the lower-priced internet + cable package is almost always promotional - it may last 3 months to a year (maybe even 2 years if they still do contracts, I dunno if that’s still a thing) but at some point, those prices are going to increase and not for nothin’. Now, you’ll be saving money for the…

I followed the link for the PS Plus membership deal and when I tried applying the promo code, it returned an error “code not working”. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Chubs! I'm glad I'm not the only one, although apparently I buy them a lot more often than at least you do lawl. When they're, like, $2.99 (limit 4 per person) at the HyVee, I'm on that shiz like salt on a room-temperature steak awaiting the grill.

I know this is ancient now, by Internet (and Coronavirus) standards, but I *had* to comment with my “stop trying to make ‘fetch’ work” moment: for a while (and, if I’m being honest, still kinda to this day), I’ve been trying to get a new sneeze response going. So when someone sneezes, because it sounds like (and is so…

How long before this desperation has him promising “23-acres and a pool, or whatever it is”?

My breau is die-hard FF - lived and breathed it growing up and has since replayed several of the games (most recently XII) and after watching (and I mean ACTUALLY watching) him drop 150 hours into FF XIII-2 (as well as the X Ps3 remaster and XII PS4 remaster), I can see why he loves them. (He played FF XIV for awhile…

Okay but they knew to put it in there in the first place when it was in the original game - if they knew the context of “settlers vs Indians (Native Americans)“ (which would require some level of research), surely they couldn’t escape information as to the racism inherent in that history. I find it a cop-out to say…

Well, in all fairness to this specific article, I feel like an hour could make the difference. The more eyes you get on it for longer, the more people who are informed and make the necessary changes. It seems like a small thing but it could save someone the hassle - I’m definitely gonna tell my fiancé to check his PS4…

“Video game coward” is a strong term - maybe that’s because I am one, as well (I even have a hard time watching someone play a horror game). But I want to know the stories so bad that I’ll actually go on Wikipedia or some place to read the plot - I do this for movies sometimes too; although I enjoy watching some scary…

I appreciate your sentiment here and agree with you - but I think you can understand where this anger comes from, as it’s become even dangerous in this country for many already oppressed groups as we watch a lot of hard-won progress seemingly undone right before our eyes and very little we can actually do about it.…

I absolutely agree with your sentiment here - it does feel very, very hopeless. I’ve considered deleting my FB account for more than a year now (at the time, I simply deleted the app from all my devices and I check it less than once a month - usually by accident when I’m linked to something on FB and so redirected to…

Thanks for the thoughtful response! I appreciate your cautious optimism about my paper, sight unseen (although, I should confess it probably didn’t help that my paper was eight pages long - I was always very serious about making my point, just not very concerned with being efficient about it). I did come across one or…

I really appreciate your prioritizing drawing one’s own conclusions about cited work - specifically, that the essay-writer can disagree with the scholarly assertions, so long as they cite the text and evidence from the class/work to back up their reasoning (per your example that the essay-writer doesn’t agree with…

I realize I can simply Google this question (I know this isn’t irony but it’s something, right?) but since we’re on the subject - do you happen to know how this will affect people like me who got 1TB of free storage as Google Fiber customers? I use Google Drive, but mostly passively (and pretty much only on my S8, all…

I don’t wanna be the one to poke the possible troll here (not saying you are a troll, just want to address the possibility you could be) but while I agree that Google does use ads as their business model to an uncomfortable (and frankly, creepy) degree - they decided not to renew their military contract for Project…

Okay, this might seem like small potatoes in the grand scheme of this shittery, but why *would* you deny the deduction to labor-intensive industries? Am I misreading this? Cause I feel like money that was made through, I dunno, actual work should really get the better tax deal than money sitting somewhere making more…
