I don’t think politicians have actually solved any issues in a while.

Marathon (1994) has several call outs to the player when the AI giving you mission briefing calls the PC out for not caring and just wanting to shoot things. There’s a lot of meta commentary in that series.

There was a fairy large era of macs that were way more open to customization then windows. Probably still true because Microsoft has gotten a lot more aggressive about locking down their os and the average gamer has no clue how to install mods if it isn’t from the Steam workshop.

Sell your soul and go into digital marketing.

The official story that the Red Ranger being a Native American, the Yellow Ranger being Asian, etc… being an accident is plausible enough. Sure. Maybe someone who was involved with casting thought it would be funny and didn’t tell anyone?

Harassing the gay actor out of the production should be the thing more people talk about.

If there’s a house shoe theory for eugenics, you’d be the poster child.

I didn’t make fun of China for being a surveillance state. I was terrified for the citizens for China being a surveillance state. Same with the UK.

If more Christians would read the bible, there’d be less Christians.

I stopped playing TF2 when I kept getting popups about having too many unopened loot crates or some shit.

They aren’t a teacher anymore. The system crushed him and he left.

I had a friend who tried sticking up for his students when the school’s Zero Tolerance Drug Policy™ meant that they couldn’t carry epipens around them. The Principal’s defense when he was told he was he was going to get sued for a wrongful death was “I’ve been sued before”. My friend was let go the following year and didn’t have the energy to sue.

Considering the overall state of the US, I don’t think my anecdotes are exactly exceptions. Everything I’ve feared would happen is happening.

I got lied to about my placement tests for no one’s gain. I got stone walled and gaslighted every time I tried improving my situation.

The most passion I ever heard from a teacher the was a rightwing asshole in my civics class when he was complaining about immigrants or welfare queens. My science teacher had to be asked directly about climate change for him to utter his take on that.

I got screwed at every step of my education. The passion gets ground out of them without them realizing.

oh, they definitely don’t care about the kids. They care about getting arrested or sued.

You were just helping the economy by not hoarding it. If more billionaires actually spent their money, things wouldn’t be as bad as they are.

There’s actually a lot of bullshit jobs out there. Things that could be automated(without AI) or when companies feel the need to do a hiring binge to appear like they’re growing. A lot of useless busywork. C-suits especially could be replaced or eliminated first though.

Not sure about the UK, but I know Germany likes manuals because they last longer when you have a lot of hills and mountains.

Drink slower.

It required a real phone number last time I checked. Looks more like a honeypot to me.
