I've lost to faith in several self proclaimed leftists over this that I have followed (not on Twitter) for years. They cannot let go of what they have "built for themselves" there and refuse to accept their own actions have consequences when they wear their blue checkmark with pride like storm troops wore their swastikas back in the 1930s. Everything is a class struggle except when it would impact them. Then it conveniently becomes a mere transaction between them and a provider and you shouldn't think too much about it because it benefits them. And if it benefits them, it benefits the cause, right? Right???

Welp, it was 'fun' while it lasted. Time for everyone to adjust their expectations to much more humble levels than what was promised and move on to the next sceme. After Metaverse, NFTs and 'Don't become a programmer, AI will steal your job literally next week!11', I'm eager to see what they come up with next. And with eager I mean I'm tired. I'm really tired and hope the economy just takes a damn break from breaking things.

I mean I like the idea of magnetic buttons because buttoning up can be a bit of a hassle and this sounds like a decent-enough solution. Don't care about changing sleeve lengths and the like either.

They're merely raking in slightly less massive profits compared to last year. They could probably make up for it by simply not paying out massive bonuses for higher ups, but we all know they'll cut jobs instead unless they get that sweet tax payer money. Greedy scumbags.

Interesting idea but I fear magnets might have unintended side effects to phones and wearable electronics like headphones.

Why can't the movie be for everyone like the game is? Why make it purposefully empty and soulless so only small children with a short attention span can enjoy it? Take some notes from the Lego movie. It's not that hard.

Making a Minecraft movie only for kids because you can't be arsed to produce something actually worthwhile must be one of the greatest missed opportunities in movie adaption history.

Huh. I never realized the absolute irony of this statement until now.

That's because these people learn the same cookie-cutter techniques at film school and start writing scripts in large groups right after getting their arts degree. Identity has been beaten out of them.

Concord is great

That's the exact opposite of what I took away from it. Consumers voted with their wallet and deemed it not worthy of their hard earned cash and time. That has been the overly agreed on consensus in other threads.

That would be a war against the world and they would break their own agreement.

Tanzania and Zambia about to join the "going to find out about Chinese colonialism the hard way" club. Corruption is cancer to any society.
