Original Cyberpunk 2020 rpg game that came in 1988 had that sidebar bit about people lending their brains (physically) for 5 years to became cybersoldiers, and that was presented as hyper dehumanising.

Yeah, or maybe just old, currency devaluated, isn’t now just having your own house is like half to entire step to being a millionaire?

I’m actually surprised there’s only 50% of millonaires in congress

Consider this: i buy mice from AliExpress for 8 PLN and they aren’t much worse and more reliable than the fuckshit from Logitech or other Razer which cost 300 PLN.

Addendum: i have heavy hands for mouse and keyboard (and i’m actually old enough to learn typing on a mechanical typewriter which certainly didn’t help) so i destroy them pretty fast and if one or another can last more than a year, it’s good enough in my book. The expensive ones certainly can’t last more then the cheapest ones.

People do actually care about status symbols though, else there would be no need for status symbols. Fortunately, people who do care about status symbols are usually obnoxious vapid dumbasses so we can safely ignore that.

No quit policy

Polish wiki article about this is comical.

At first they have all the history of grift, clearly suggesting it’s a grift and nothing more than pyramid scheme, then they posted a table being basically MLM=good, pyramid=bad and that MLM is not a pyramid, only to end with the same as here “99% participants of MLM lose money”.

I recommend Engels “Condition of the Working Class in England” to see how it was at the height of the empire (a lot of CW’s though).

But as people embrace that model, they will see that these games will exist, the service will continue

Unless it will stop to continue, as many many times previously, and iirc Ubisoft is the main culprit doing that.

Hell the old games on physical DVD (or even floppy discs) can be fucked up too by relying on defunct installation software, poor OS compatibility or even hardware (like many games on GoG are functionally unplayable).

Wait, there’s more than one or the title is ironic?

This isn’t even planned obsolescence this is just lazy balls grab.

Robo pizza fail was fun, glad i didn’t turned it off at “at least CNN is doing something good”

It won’t be about fun, but 20 hour workdays.

Nothing new, just the usual.

I clicked that and youtube felt to put this next on the list:

Thanks youtube, very cool /s

Well conficating devices with call of duty installed is not even a bad idea.

But seriously, publishing mafia is so ridiculously influental nowadays that this is the only line that gave up this video as satire. At least i hope it is, the poe level of news is off the charts lately.

Sure

https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-accused-of-absolving-hitler-for-holocaust/

And many more if you search for it, it was huge scandal back then. Of course not as huge apparently to end the career of bloodthirsty Hitler-absolving Israeli PM.

Netanyahu blamed holocaust on Palestinians and whitewashed Hitler, not very credible source i would say.

To be precise Palestine is like Donbas. Difference is that Palestine was genocided longer and more cruelly, and that Palestine don’t have a poweful ally which would join the war to help them. Donbas did and lo and behold, most of western so called “left” hate them for that. They truly love every opressed people except those that fight back.
