You’re just mad that it is one the last faucets of true freedom of expression and speech. You can’t say anything anymore on places like Reddit, Facebook .etc without offending some fragile ego. The same is absolutely said for the Fediverse.

I work for a thankless and ungrateful store who successfully met its sales criteria and became the most successful store in the state. However, that doesn’t reflect in how the store is operated and associate morale is constantly shit on. I’m one of the more decent workers, however, my management works me to death and stupidly wonders why my performance fluctuates from time to time.

And this is all to make sure, stupid dumbfucks with wallets (yes I’m talking about moronic fucking customers, fuck all of you) shit is on the shelf so more dumbfuck moronic customers can ask even more dumbfuck questions that don’t relate to anything and shoving their phones in my face.

PieFed just gives you more tools other instances should have. But arguably PieFed lacks tools other instances have.

We can’t win.

I want to see more micro-communities. I want to read about how passionate people are about niche hobbies or interests that appeal them.

I’m tired of the staple stuff like, we always have to have politics, memes, news, games .etc We already have an abundance of those.

Every day, I always see shadows or what I think are bugs or even small critters running about in my home. When I know they aren’t there. I think it’s because of my poor sleep or something.

Everything that’s currently wrong with it today, but amplified.

That’s not really the kind of point I was making. You’re just tossing word salad and twisting contexts.

What’s the point of pirating if you’re going to be morally confused?

You either pirate or don’t. Why complicate it?

People pirate for a variety of reasons, but largely it comes down to “cause its free and I can” whether they accept that or not, but it is the truth.

And a lot of the time, people who pirated games, buy them because they wanted to support the developer anyways. They didn’t have this stupid worry that you have here as to whether or not it’ll be popular, it is because the experience was so great, it was worthwhile to buy it anyways.

It’ll only be a waste of money, time and effort pirating the game if the studio or a standout individual involved turns out to be a shitty person. Not because they’re popular, if a small game or studio is popular, then great, we all love to see it. It is until big corporation decides to stamp them out via acquiring or law-suiting them to death is when it is a problem.

And then when they buy those things, they are directly telling the companies “yes, we accept this, please do it more”.

“But I’m just buying from the store and making uneducated guesstimates about how transactions and business works” What they don’t understand is that money moves very fast and around. Whatever you buy from the store, cuts are made and the cuts do reach the corresponding companies (aside from thrift stores, flea markets .etc).

Yeah I get the idea that not enjoying what you used to enjoy sucks and going without it sucks even more. But, it’s not you or me that ruined that enjoyment and it’s not even the store itself that ruins the enjoyment. It’s always the ones making it and it is always the marketing teams involved that push for these prices that ruin it.

So route your anger directly to all and any marketing teams and go through whoever many you have to, until you’re bitching directly at the top of the chain about it. Bitching at overworked-Joe working at X shitty store, is doing it wrong. Bitching at the people who obliviously continue buying the shit, is also a good idea, but after awhile, you’re wasting time and breath.

I’m getting so tired of the whole “we can’t do anything about it” excuse. It should instead be said “we won’t do anything about it”

Can you imagine the power the people actually have in themselves collectively? You underestimate that.

If people collectively got their shit in gear, this practice wouldn’t happen. Why? Because people decided NOT TO buy it. If they don’t buy it for weeks and months, it’ll tell the company that “hey we know what you’ve been up to, this shit isn’t working” which will leave the company to decide to pull it or revert back to what it was that made us buy it in the first place. Which is quality.

Don’t be coming to me with this defeatist talk of “uhhhh we can’t do anything about it” because we WON’T because we’re DUMB.

People who only go as far back as the 60s/70s, truly ignore everything that has happened prior. Things for human society and the world didn’t start getting bad on those decades, that’s only recent memory to those born from or grew up through.

The world didn’t start getting fucked up until humans developed here the day they evolved.

In ancient history;

You could be tried and killed by just simply being allegedly accused of being a witch. The Salem Witch Trials demonstrated that happened in the early 1690s. Accusations entirely arbitrary and subjective, I may add.

5 Million people got killed because of one single messenger, the wrong one, got killed. This was through the Khwarazmian Empire dated back in 1077 - 1231.

Then we know about everything the Egyptians did and how they got the pyramids built and all. Slavery was rampant in the ancient past, nothing just built itself, you know.

So yes, the world was always fucked up long before the 1960s and 1970s. You would not last a day in the past, where all developed concepts and ideas were nothing but just thoughts of the mind and just about anyone could decide to kill you just because they can.

The day companies realized “hey, we’re already so successful that we can just change up our recipes, still sell the same product and people will just buy on name value alone”.

Unfortunately, it works because people are that dumb.

Um, but they will swim under them?

Rest in piss.

Thanks for ruining the lives of people who desperately clamored to this awful existence of a company, selling their bodies off to make a cheap buck.

Are you implying Trump is smart? Dude, that’s overreaching to assume he’s surrounded by dumbasses who’re dumber than him.

He wants just yes-men.

Is it to be implied that he ever intended to control it to begin with?

You really wouldn’t know it, it’s called 2 Sense.

We have the answers. It’s just getting the politicians all on board with it and shutting up the lobbyists for fossil fuels.
