Ads have taught people that every blank space and every moment of quiet should be filled with attention grabbing manipulative bullshit. If it weren’t for ads, people would have an easier time slowing down. They can’t calm down for the same reason an abuse survivor can’t. They think the next hit is coming as soon as they’re not ready for it.

It’s not the easy entertainment that’s causing brainrot, it’s the convenient sacrifices. The ads. The pollution. Time spent in cars. The plastic crap. The noise. The horrible news. The apoliticism. The talking machine that thinks for you.

Those aren’t entertainment or luxuries, they’re daily micro-tortures that are easy to get used to, easy to tolerate, easy to ignore, but still carve out pieces of your soul. People are being worn down to nothing as surely as if by any addiction. It’s not the high that kills you, it’s the side effects. Weed isn’t a tenth as dangerous as tobacco cigarettes, and one’s got more high, one’s got more side effects.

By copying that fish, he took business away from the fisherman who caught it. If it weren’t for his piracy, many people would have been hungry and bought fish from him. Copying fish is stealing.

Yeah that’s actually hedonism

No, Bazzite is very hardware dependent. Good if you use the same hardware as the devs. If you don’t, it’ll make you want to go back to Windows.

It’s not good to talk about this openly because you can attract its attention by saying its name. But there’s an Algonquian spirit matching the monster in the comic. You can probably find it by googling “Algonquian myth hungry spirit”. The way white fiction writers have appropriated it as a symbol of “evil native american culture” is disgusting. This is a much better example that doesn’t use the monster as a cheap exoticised gimmick.

It’s so pretty and the characters are all very likeable. You’ve got the traumatized himbo, the self-loathing floofball, Mister Hubris… it’s great!

Frieren also does it

Kids in the 2010s: We are standing up to demand an end to the pollution so that we can have a future

Well that is your name, isn’t it? Calvin Klein? It’s written all over your underwear.

No, you idiot. AI is HAL 9000 from A Space Odyssey. I watched a science fiction movie and that means I’m smart. ChatGPT can’t be AI because AI isn’t real. Get your fancy computer science education out of here /s

I meant the more general implication that everyone should be willing to die for what they believe in.

Isn’t your comment promoting suicide?

Can you explain the background for this please?

I disagree, I don’t think this game is free.

You exercise on your bed?

Reddit is bad and we shouldn’t use it.

This is true. I meditated in the desert and gained the ability to see the future.

Still shitposting.

Teenagers have had broccoli hair for the past 5 years. It’s boring. Invent a new fad already, I want a new thing to make fun of
