  • It’s not difficult for me, to say the feeling isn’t felt very strongly, would probably be an understatement.

    The other comment I want to make is that I agree that there’s too many humans, however, the economy survives by constant growth, so that’s a thing. It has to do with how money works and is valuated.

    The video “money as debt” is a good resource for more info on that.

    Bluntly, I don’t care since I’ll be long dead when the economy collapses under it’s own weight.


  • I’m on the other side of the generational gap (nearly gen x, but millennial), and I was terrified during my late teens/early 20s of becoming a parent. I could not imagine raising a child the way I was living paycheque to paycheque, if I had a paycheque at all…

    That feeling never went away, and I still wouldn’t know how I could possibly afford that. I decided in my mid 20s that children would be a decision I would leave up to my wife (wherever I had a wife to make the decision). I was/am instinctually driven to want them (a feeling I mostly disregard), but given the state of the world and my own financial situation, I can’t say that I want to force any intelligent being, especially one that is my offspring, to suffer through a lifetime of this shit like I have been forced to so far.

    I didn’t ask to be here. If someone had given me a choice, I would have probably opted out of gestures all of this.

    I’m currently in a long term relationship, and we’re planning on signing the papers next year, so soon I’ll have someone I can legitimately call my wife. She is very much on the side of “never have kids”. So that’s my decision as well.

    Instinctual drive isn’t enough to cause me to overlook how things are going. I love my (non-existent) children too much, than to force them into living a life in these circumstances. Fuck no.






  • Even with the years he has as a disadvantage, I would not have bet against Tyson.

    It was genuinely surprising that he didn’t win.

    To be fair, it went to the judges, and they decided that Tyson didn’t do as well as what’s-his-face… And looking at the numbers, it wasn’t by much.

    Say what you will about the man himself, but Tyson knows his sport and he’s damn good at it.

    With all that being said, what a crock of shit to waste so much time and effort so that some YouTube wannabe can match up against a retiree. Tyson won more fights than pretty boy has even officially fought, before that dickhead left his daddy’s nutsack. Let me put that another way, there was no time in this guy’s life where Tyson had yet to win a championship. He’s been a world champion for tube boy’s entire life.

    As far as I’m concerned, Tyson was in it for the payday. Win or lose, Tyson was walking away on top.









  • Honestly, I didn’t expect that Epic would be okay with this.

    It’s nice to see, and bluntly, after a game has gone through all the different stages of buying and owning, why not make it free? Makes it that much easier for nostalgia nerds to have awesome LAN parties.

    I don’t think this makes up for the long list of consumer hostile things that Epic has done, but it doesn’t hurt.

    The next thing I’d like to see is to have games open sourced when stuff like this happens and the game is well into obsolescence. At least someone can pick up the mantle that studios don’t want to have anything to do with, when it comes to making the game compatible with newer operating systems, or alternative operating systems (like Linux, though I think UT supported Linux), or so that it can be built for new architectures like Apple’s new arm based silicon.

    There’s no profit in the game anymore, so just let people have it so they can fix what you don’t care about anymore.

    Neither option is good long-term.

    If you check out forever, this shit is only going to get worse. If you stay angry all the time, you’ll be punishing yourself about something you cannot control.

    Check out for the next year or two, then switch to unbridled hatred during midterms.

    After that, check out until the next federal election. When that comes around, you know what to do.
