Ugh. I hate how right you are.

I’m sorry, are there any different dystopias available other than this one? This one is stupid and I’d like to make an exchange if I can.

I guess you can always make it shittier?

I never understood the appeal of Threads anyway. Like, who leaves Xitter because it’s toxic garbage and goes to something owned by Meta, who practically invented this particular flavor of toxic garbage?

They’re not even hiding the enshittification strategy. They’re practically teaching you the principles up front.

“First we trap you, then we exploit you. Duh.”

Guess they saw somebody on TV say it to a kid once or something.

Wait, your shitty, morally decrepit parents told you they were proud of you?

I only got the shitty, morally decrepit part and didn’t get the supportive part. Mine just wanted me to be their clone.

Good note. My edit, based on your feedback:

Tom Homan – Stupid, shitty, greedweasel who will sell the country out for self-enrichment

I see Star Control anything and I upvote.

There’s no moral dilemma. It’s just pure moral compromise.

Counterpoint: everything should just submit to the John Munch Cinematic Universe.

Ugh. Fucking AI slop. As if Lemmy was so huge it was actually worth putting that garbage on here anyway.

Dude, I’m not disagreeing with your point, but your presentation is beat up from the feet up.

Caveat: been drinking because gestures at everything

  1. At one point, you say it’s $950 a year after establishing that the actual cost is $950 after two years.
  2. Your investment counterexample arbitrarily includes a $200 monthly additional investment which blows everything up and makes the example pretty much incomparable
  3. Your investment counterexample also assumes an immediate initial outlay of $950 rather than distributing that over 24 months.

Basically you’re comparing two wildly different scenarios, which makes your point seem pretty broken, regardless of how right your actual thesis is.

TL;DR: Cancel your MMOs, play retro and discounted indie games, and stay in school, kids.
