And people going to conferences which are somehow almost always in Florida :(

Does this look like a man who’s had all he can eat?

On reddit I had my feed of favorite subs

On lemmy I use connect and basically Ive blocked out communities that don’t appeal to me / are in languages I don’t speak. I started broad and narrowed it down which gives me enough content in a day.

Nooooooo

So is G like, a random boat?

Same. Rip RIF is fun

Yep that’s me. RIF was so good. Why would a website cannibalize itself like this?

Bring back the Seattle Sonics if we are gonna be hopeful for things from 2 decades ago

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We’ll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it’s fun.

We’ll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We’re already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren’t shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they’ve threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another boss fight.

What’s the hat pattern?

Germans trying to write punchlines

1. Aetna CVS Caremark
2. Cigna Express Scripts
3. fucking ticketmaster
4. Google
5. Kroger (and they want to merge AGAIN?)

Let’s start here for now

Wat? Does it have wifi?

PBMs/healthcare conglomerating needs to be looked at as a top priority

And this Kroger Albertsons thing needs to be stopped for good

HP

Is flossing still popular?

At a business we had an hp laptop for 6 months before it bricked. We sent in for warranty, they sent it back saying we broke it in a noncovered way

It was a workstation on a table top that never had any food etc near us. Even with appeals they will not fix it. My IT guy is now aware we do not do business with them.

Does the chief justice really matter if the other 5 are united?

Nah the baby would be aborted

And probably you as well D:
