How are ppl supposed to pay for bikes, skates, vacations, backpacking or instruments to learn? Maybe learning languages is pretty cheap, but that's about it.

Depends on how you define "poor" though. I'd say if you live paycheck to paycheck to just cover the basic survival-costs with nothing left to save, you're already fucking poor.

I retired at 25....25yrs ago. It's kinda the same, except the IRS doesn't hassle us 😁

4 in Germany. And I'm not complaining 😁

there's zero benefit to for-profit private insurance... for people, anyway (not corporations

In germany there are a lot of benefits through. Less waiting-time, broader choice of treatment, better service in hospitals, a room for yourself instead of a shared room, and also a wider choice of places to go. And in the end it's even cheaper than public health. At least beyond a certain income - threshold. Highly unfair, but...

Aren't the first and last one mutually exclusive? And with the ultimate luck aura, the weather should already always be my favourite?

Here are really good picks and totally worthless ones. So I'd go with luck, health and animal talk.

EA? This company most people boycott now? Color me surprised...

PTO listed as a benefit? Must be the USA 😁

Guess You were part of a tiny minority that slowly became a less tiny minority. But hey, I'm optimistic that it might help kill their reputation and sales. But...

I am also a misanthropist. And to clear that up, not all misanthropists hate humans and want them to suffer. I see humanity as a mistake, a virus, a plague. And it's also it's own worst enemy.

Doesn't mean I want everyone dead. I actually help people And am said to be the nicest mofo. E.g. I spend my day working for free in a shelter for the abused. Picking up the pieces others created. And I also spend a ton helping people up, e.g. getting a new apartment, a job, a few thousands to start anew etc.

Long story short, being misanthropist isn't inherently an evil thing. Just a logic conclusion. If you add the usual dark tetrad of personality traits to it, then it won't help.

Yeah sure, of course. Obviously, or else we wouldn't be talking about that now. Or talk at all.

But that's not a point, that's just a description of how I was able to get to such an opinion, not why I should or shouldn't. Is there a point hidden or did you just want to come across super witty?

But hey, seeing how the majority of people slave away their life for their owners, like the good domesticated worker-bees they were raised to, your argument could even make sense 😁

and you can't deny that the human tribe has grown and flourished.

Of course not. Same as a virus. Or a cricket swarm devouring everything in its path.

I didn't say we weren't evolutionary successful. We totally were and are. I don't see anything inherently worthy here.

What is your actual point?

Lol. Did it work? Is I free now?

Exactly. He's a disgusting piece of human garbage. But surely not because he looks like that.

But I couldn't care less about some angry down voters who just click rather than tell. Though that already tells a lot in itself 😁

...and the very likely tons of DLCs...can't think they gonna miss out on that.

But yeah, my days of being an early-adopter are long gone. Wait a year or more and the game is as patched as it gets, has all DLCs included, got discounted or even bundled, my PC is probably double of what it was on release day, and the cherry on top: mods are settled.

There is more than consoles... There always were indie-games. Just maybe not on every console. I could name a ton of excellent AAA from the good-old-times.

Oh that's not just us-american. We're (Germany) aren't different. Except we also shame fat. Which often really isn't a choice. And even if it is, It's rarely "HM, I think I really wanna be fat!".

But hey, at least you're honest. also there's a vast difference between thinking that (because it's a thing that comes to mind, as we are nicely trained city-apes) and acting upon that impulse. I assume you don't bully someone while being fully aware you're bullying.

That's what smart homes are invented for. We have like 40 light switches plastered all over and also automatic light that follows where we are whenever it's too dark.

If we go on holiday we often run into doors and walls because we simply untrained ourselves hitting switches 😁

Omg who cares? We will see when it's released. I'd be glad if it's not the usual big-money-shit that's delivered to us regularly.

but what is the excuse?

You also know the answer to that 😞

You missed the ad-part about his cool books 😁
