The oldest Zoomers turn 29 this year.

One of the strangest phenomenon of the obesity epidemic has been the gross infantilization of young, fit adult women as being “teens” just because they don’t have the “+10yr perceived age” effect that comes with years of obesity.

Yeah… I’ll take the two on the left who aren’t dying of heart disease at 35.

Y’know… you’re right

Worst timeline

Surely no coincidence that being obese is a gateway to hyperconsumerism anyway. Sugary, fatty, processed snack foods are way more profitable than healthy meals.

Walking around town is free, can’t have that. Sit at this computer chair, watch advertisements and play video games instead.

Heart disease at 26? That’ll be $2k/month until you die.

Get depressed, buy the meds, never leave your couch, don’t fight back, you’re the evolution of humanity and - most of all - you are beautiful.

Mans thinks he broke the laws of conservation of mass and that’s why he’s still fat

Your community might have a support group for recent divorcees. It would be a good way to connect with sympathetic people without the pressures of a 1 on 1 relationship

Target sucks cock and that fact has nothing to do with DEI

Oh yeah I’ve seen that one many times. Girl shoots her younger brother playing with the loaded gun, panics, then shoots herself and falls to the floor. Video ends with the parents(?) busting through the door screaming. It’s a doozy

Because someone pissed in my cheerios and I’m blaming YOU!! 😡😡😡

thus the inevitable occurs. (Emphasis added)

The prerequisite for joining such hyperindividualistic ideologies is the belief that you’re better/more important than others, that the work of others can’t be depended on (“if you want it done right, you’ve got to to it yourself” fallacy mindset).

So:

Why do people continue to adopt this seemingly futile approach? It’s akin to watching 5,000 parachutists attempt a failed jump from the Eiffel Tower, only for newcomers to keep trying despite knowing, or perhaps ignoring, the inevitable outcome. Despite the growing pile of mangled bodies at the base of the tower, every day people decide to climb up and try for themselves.

“Well duh, those people failed because they weren’t me!”

The catholic church is an international organization though

Good thing we’re investing in cost-efficient renewable energies that pay for themselves after like two years, right?

Fair advice but S1 of Adventure Time is pretty bad and most of the worldbuilding was forgotten anyway

Disney+. Fuck The Mouse.

Niche answer is probably some little alt-right ULTRA MAGA FREEDOM NEWS NETWORK but I’m honored to not know any of those cesspits by name

I genuinely used to think Black Mirror was way too unbelievable to be scary

But I’d still argue the solution is to cut costs, not increase prices.

This is the solution moving forward and is probably what most studios are doing right now (see: publishers shelving low-profit studios, massive layoffs, etc.), but the issue is that the games launching right now with $70-100 price tags have been in development for years. Their budgets were written under contract during the boom a few years ago, they can’t just “unspend” that money, but at the same time, they’re probably seeing that gamers are being a lot tighter with their wallets these days.

I’m obviously never one to praise higher prices for the same thing, but I at least get why major releases are feeling justified to charge a higher door fee for the base game than to gamble on the freemium market (See: Concord).

Wut? We’re mad now about not getting DLC? GTA V was a great game that’s still a blast today. I spent many evenings in front of my PS3 playing the single player for years, never touched GTA: O once and never felt the need to and still believe I got my $60 back in 2013 out of it.

Similar story with RDR 2. Unless GTA 6 is a huge step down from both those games in single-player playability (I’ll wait for reviews obv), I’m not going to lose much sleep over spending $20 more than I spent 13 years ago for the previous game.
