And every MOBA/Fighting Game charges for new characters too. Hell even MMO’s lock you out of new classes/areas until you buy current expansions.

Plenty of people, including myself, put effort into having less of an impact but even then it’ll never be zero because of the systems in place. People have to shop at places like the Dollar Store because they might live in a food desert. Others have to buy bottled water because of issues with their local water supply.…

it’s easy to be a damaging activist when you start campaigning about the impact of things without asking the people that it actually impacts. Many cruise port destinations only survive because of the cruise industry. In some cases the people that serve tourists earn the equivalent of a highly educated professional…

Saying something is not as bad as another offender when it comes to the environment is not good argument, especially when it’s non-essential. Cruises are toxic and unnecessary.

I think I finally worked out why it’s racist. I’m stuck at why someone thought an AI rapper was a good idea. This must be how my algebra students feel.

“the look on his face”

No. The biggest gripe is the corporate exploitation of Black people and Black culture. Specifically, the concept that a corporation can create a digital “Black” icon—a fake non-human who doesn’t have the lived experience to be Black, who doesn’t genuinely come from or represent Black people or their culture, but is…

Whelp, I made it.  I’m officially too old to understand what the fuck is going on any more.  

Me over here having a conundrum over the rise of AI and if a century down the line we will have a race of semi-sentient beings on our hands.

Record Prodcuers:

Thanks, I was actually about to start getting bids on a kitchen remodel and will definitely need new appliances; it looks like I’ll just barely slide in under the wire for the 50% rebate, so now I’ll just wait until it’s actually in effect before proceeding.

And yet people still do them.  Weird!  Do a little research on the subject instead of just assuming its “impossible”.  Its not impossible and it will also only improve over time.
