Democrats have announced that they're going to make a statement at 3:45pm EST today or something. Our government is actively in the middle of a coup, and they're "going to make a statement."

I'm sure it'll be some finger wagging, and that's about it.

They're now also blaming Among Us for training him into an assassin, apparently.

This is why I turned to hardcore drugs. Much cheaper.

...Factorio counts as a drug, right?

This is the thing that drives me crazy. Especially with those "I don't want my money going to pay for the wrong kind of person's healthcare" idiots. It already does. You already pay for that. Private healthcare is socialized healthcare except with some rich dumbass acting as a middleman so he can scrape a ton of money out while denying grandma that new hip she needs in the name of profits.

Just because you call it an "insurance fee" and pay more than if it was called a "tax" doesn't somehow make it better.

There's a difference between having Dorito dust on your fingers and having it massaged/injected into your skin via microneedling. It's closer to "don't tattoo yourself with Dorito dust" than it is "don't let it get on you."

Fun fact, there's an industry term called TTP: Time To Penis. It's the estimated amount of time before a player draws a dick in your game, whether through bullet holes in a wall or something else. It's often measured in seconds.

TIL driving to and from work is "recreational" unless you have a TV or something in the back of your car.

Management forgets that strikes and unions were the concession negotiated in lieu of beating factory owners to death in the street.

One thing all these games share: not being made by one of the big companies like EA, Activision-Blizzard-King, or Ubisoft.

Hell, one of these was made by one dude, and another was made by the guys who made Magicka and was expected to have a player population of around 10k.

People with poor fiscal responsibility skills, such as children, people with ADHD, and people with mental health issues like depression.

They literally hire psychologists to make this stuff as enticing as possible by pushing the right buttons in your brain.

Starting a career has increasingly felt like a right of passage for Gen Z and Millennial workers struggling to adapt to the working week and stand out to their new bosses.

What the hell does this even mean. How is starting a career considered a "rite of passage" when the average American works 50-60 hours a week between 2 or more jobs? A career in a single field is straight up considered as unattainable as buying a house is by Millennials (46% of whom own a house, compared to the average of 65% for other generations). Plus Millennials have been in the workforce for multiple decades now. We're in our 30s and 40s. And nobody has "struggled" to adapt to the work week since the 40 hour week was created after unions fought for the right to 2 days off a week. Children are indoctrinated to this cycle in kindergarten! And it's a lie anyways with the modern culture of bosses demanding people be available to call during nights and weekends. The average corporate work week was closer to 47 hours even 10 years ago. Do they mean working at a single company for more than 3 years? Because that's often a loss in pay compared to changing companies.

We're off to a bad start before even hitting the paywall...
