Amen. Been saying this a while. He knew this shit was coming so he’s was prepared with this Ace up his sleeve.

Step 1: get people addicted, monetize it to no end

Step 2: cover it up and lie about it being fine, spread misinformation of you have to

Step 3: plan a scapegoat tactic as a backup just in case. Maybe 2.

Step 4: buy out politicians who’ll support you when it’s time to take action; like “age verification” as a redirect (as if the gov has ever fine anything promptly!)

Step 5: Get the media to sort of drop coverage to get people to forget about it with other stuff, and watch the lawsuits and trials fade away into the background as there’s no more media coverage for it.

So, birthrate drops, just funnel in more people who don’t know America’s corruption, and now jobs markets are fucked with over-crowding while the billionaire class gets more bodies to leech off of. Great plan.

Maybe it’s a ploy for an intervention 😆

Well it was Mark Zuckerburg who’s made the big push for it… You know, offload responsibility from his platform being addicting and all… Plus, both sides are equally corrupt, so really it’s time to move to something new. Forward, Green, Reform, Libertarian, etc.

Anything to keep the people docile and from rising up!

My wife would just sell my data.

Half didn’t even vote at all

The public cares, but are mostly powerless because it’s extremely difficult to coordinate efforts across so many states and distance.

I would be raising hell!

That didn’t matter for me recently. On a site, flights in cart, looked at rental car for <5 minutes and the outbound flights jumped ~$60/ticket in that time “due to demand” when the flight was 80%empty…

Got on my phone, on data (so new browser, new IP) still prices are higher. Hopped on my old phone over VPN to change region, checked out a different leave date, checked a couple, went back to my original date and flights were $40 cheaper (so still $20 more than before) but they gotta know based on Geo IP and time of inquiries it’s probably all the same person, smh.

What a scam!!

Amen! Greedy bastards! Maybe think about how insulting it is to try and squeeze even more out of your loyal customers in financially stressful times. Disconnected. A price drop would need to revert to 2018 when it was $15/mo. We don’t need all those mediocre games in Game pass. We can’t even install all of them with the measly 1TB storage!!

How about just bring back online MP for $5/mo at 12mo purchase of $60. I stupidly joined in the GP tiers and watched it skyrocket from $10 to $30 and when my grandfathered price tier ended at $20, I canceled everything. Just shy of 20 years on Xbox down the drain! At one point MS had a bundle of everything that was $20/mo and that was Gold, Office, Skype minutes,1TB SkyDrive (before rebrand), it was decent.

Now they went from getting an annual $240 GP, $150 Office, and me still buying a bunch of games to now ditching the ecosystem until further notice. Greedy bastards!

More war means less working class lives to pay wages to, which in turn means they can take even more from us!!

Gotta have more data to mine and sell, too… Gotta make a few bucks for the trouble of getting citizenship. “The start of a beautiful relationship” aka the start of monetizing more new data for those AI and big tech.

Are you my sibling?!

I did when I drove a Saab. I got it right around 2009 or so when the brand was dying off anyway. GM pretty much killed it, but the market finished it. Anyway, was always fond of them bc they’re safe and they weren’t common in the state anyway.

Now, I give a little rev for other manuals/standard trans I notice at a light as an acknowledgement they’re not alone. I usually get a little smile or nod haha. Easy to tell on flat ground and no brake lights on.

Explain. I’ve got my tinfoil hat ready!

Heck yeah, the unedited or “Not Rated” DVD version had the uncut scene where she defecates on his chest! Quite funny at the time, but I cannot imagine then doing something like that now, nor all the 9/11 jokes. Plus making fun of NK’s Jim Jong Il. I feel like you couldn’t really do that without stirring the pot at least a little bit.
