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.

I’d be interested to know how I can pay my electricity bill with my free healthcare. Also I need to go to the supermarket today; how do I convert free healthcare into a trolleyful of food?

SpaceNoodle,

Also where the fuck is this free healthcare?

jaupsinluggies,

Civilised countries like the UK and other European countries. Technically it’s not free because it’s paid for by taxation, but it’s free at the point of use: if I go and see a doctor, I don’t get billed, but I do pay 9% National Insurance tax.

SpaceNoodle,

Pretty sure this article is about the USA

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

Another boomer fucking idiot saying idiot fucking boomer shit because idiot fucking boomers voted like boomer fucking idiots.

raynethackery,

He’s fucking Genx, my generation. I hate every GenXer that sold out. Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, remember we are fighting class warfare. Don’t let them divide us along generational lines. My good friend is a Boomer and is as liberal as can be. My two coworkers are GenX and both voted for Trump.

I’m also genx (xennial if it matters) and I’m referring to the boomer mindset, not the baby boomer generation. There are zoomers who voted for the current fascist regime and baby boomers who voted Harris. I hate generational warfare too, but “boomer” is a convenient term for an appalling mindset that can infect anyone, regardless of generation.

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!

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

Wait, I can get free healthcare playing video games? Where?!?

kerrigan778,

Much of the world outside the US

TheObviousSolution, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

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.

Kazumara, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

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!

Y’all got free healthcare?

some_guy, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

The problem is that voters are so damn stupid that someone can make a statement like this without being interrogated.

ShaggySnacks,

Or the media will be like “Yeah, that makes sense” and will not push back.

RagingRobot,

Yeah they just move on and don’t even call out the lie. Then people see it and assume it’s true

LookBehindYouNowAndThen,
some_guy,

I’d be happy to oblige them. Good call.

y0kai, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

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.
