First they came for the gamers, and I did not speak out, because I was busy hitting a sick 360° quickscope on Angel City.

This is just the “violent video games make people violent” argument from the 90s and 00s. Fear mongering at its core.

RizzRustbolt,

“These violent games make you violent!” “These cozy games make people lazy!”

Sometimes I think they just complain because it’s a fetish for them.

ThatGirlKylie,

That darn avocado toast!

Got laid off. I now have two jobs. One at a store for the health insurance. Which I’ll lose in an upcoming strike. Which is most likely to happen. Because fuck corporate. Then I have my start up job that is a side job till they can afford to pay me salary. I make all commissions now. But sales are a tough thing to get in this field. Thankful for Ai to help email so many people.

SincerityIsCool, do games w There's still no sign of Star Citizen 1.0, but it did just get a revamped referral program so the die-hards can tempt in even more saps

I tried it out to see how it was coming along a year or so ago. It made Kenshi look polished.

Where is this free healthcare? Because I’m paying out the ass for my very minimal coverage.

The argument is utterly stupid.

Ignoring that it is building on a fantasy reality for the moment. Even if you had free healthcare, and if only the financial costs of survival motivated people to get jobs, then the other costs of living, like for food and shelter, would still provide that motivation.

impetchewus,

Um also, can I get some of that free healthcare? Cuz I have NEVER received free healthcare in my life!

Lmfao what free healthcare?

A_Random_Idiot,

Seriously. I’d love some free healthcare.

I’d probably be able to be more functional if I had proper healthcare.

This whole thing of “Free healthcare = leeches” is fucking insulting.

Young men have no idea what health care is, nor do they care.

They are healthy and heal fast.

They are the ones who traditionally pay in and dont take out.

vaultdweller013,

As someone who is 25 I must agree, not only do I not give a damn I actively welcome death. Shitty fucken eyesight not withstanding, I think there’s thinner ballistic glass

So basically, they are mooching off of free healthcare - by performing by one of the most risk free activities that is almost going to guarantee they won’t need healthcare in the first place?

MAGA tactic:

Take negative stereotype, say it is preventing a desirable goal from being reached, then say it is because of what you are actually trying to cut. Doesn’t matter if they barely have any real relation to each other.

How’s your son’s dick today, Mike Johnson? You have the app that tells you, so if you wouldn’t mind…

You’re happier not knowing, delete your account before some sicko comes by to gleefully explain this one.

ShaggySnacks,

And I will be that sicko.

WTF did I just read? Fuckin weirdos. That is uncomfortable on so many levels. Poor kid. I remain traumatised from the time I had to remove all the malware from my dad’s computer. That was twenty years ago, he’s dead now, but I still carry the abominable image of him in his wheelchair, pulling his decrepit knob to Thai ladyboys, with the dogs lined up on the sofa watching. Ignorance is bliss. Ho hum, conservatives eh?
