like the Pelosis first bought some Nvidia call options in 2021 and for lack of a better term I guess people got jealous? that they had the liquidity and foresight to do so, so they called it insider trading and now the President is running three seperate pump 'n' dumps every hour
one thing I'm learning from the d'Annunzio biography I'm reading is this isn't the first time in history people paved the way for an orgy of corruption by decrying a previous state of things as "corrupt" such that later on they could not but shrug their shoulders
literal straight line between Gabriele writing self-insert fanfic about the Roman (city) elites doing Eyes Wide Shut shit 24/7 and Benito seizing the state so he can dole it out to his friends and apparently American oil companies while he was at it
every time my static or a PF insists on pausing to discuss some tiny positioning mistake for two minutes instead of just pulling again I wanna pull what little hair I still have clean out of my scalp
this can apply to FFXIV too imo, learning to just put your head down and keep pulling is really important. if you feel yourself tilting a lot at stuff you have to learn how to deal with that
@bluembody but also a great example of what i mean because sometimes you just get randomly dicked over by hit detection and there's nothing to learn from that so just go again and spare me the lecture
capital "G" Gamers thought they needed to vote (R) to get the Vagina Bones back and the Pronouns out and got the utter ruination of their hobby, it's very sad
Trump has been the worst president for gamers in American history. His tariff policies induced the first ever mid generation console price hike, and the cost per teraflop of GPU power has steadily risen since he took office.
both prosperity and poverty tend to present quite similarly and are unrepresentative of their surroundings, you want the middle, the average, the statistically normal
problem with this debate is neither side knows enough places to make comparisons like this work; the real test is whether Tampa and Wichita are more different from one another than Gütersloh and Lyon
Brutalizing the Vendée for two years only to end up granting them the draft exceptions and relative freedom of worship they wanted in exchange for them not getting the restoration of the King that wasn't going to happen either way is not a W.
that Gamers Nexus video is mostly about how Trump has systematically fucked up a particular supply chain but shrouds itself in the Klaus Schwab, you will own nothing and be happy, conspiratorial cloak. For clicks, I assume
a fun contrast is that in the middle of the video 18 minutes are dedicated to a super speculative talk with a guy recently unemployed from a company, and then they talk to the people from his former company, and they talk about how customers go "in this economy?" at them
