when the US breaks international law to start a war with someone it's fine but when that someone hits back they are bad.

This is literally it. What westerners think does not matter - they will believe whatever the media tells them without thinking critically and the media will tell them exactly this. And honestly at this point what does it even matter? Western people thinking anything one way or another makes no difference, their governments are going to do the thing they want to do anyway and westerners aren't going to do shit to stop them. The opinions of westerners is worth less than dirt and should never be a consideration.

Yeah, I'm sick of it. I've even heard this shit irl. And when people tell me something is woke, all I have to say is: Great! I love it! Please make everything woke and DEI, I love to see gamers angry and miserable.

And don't forget to bring up AC Shadows not flopping to really boil their blood.

Damn, the ghouls with their hands up the ass of this shriveled puppet aren't even trying to be subtle.

A million nukes at America

It is really hard to meet people as an adult. Have you considered Meetup groups or something similar? If it's a hobby group, then at least when you go, you have a thing to talk about that's built in. That might be more promising than your current frustrating experience.

56% wanting to be astronauts in China vs. only 11% in the US is pretty different, but I think his point is that when you look at those who aspire to be YouTubers it's 30% in the US vs. 18% in China, which is not the grand cultural difference OP is making it out to be.

you aren't building character by playing elden ring no matter how good you are or how much you fail and try again.

A certain type of person needs to keep perpetuating this myth because video games are the only things they spend their time on and they need to convince themselves that they aren't just wasting that time.

Honestly, the whole camp thing is juvenile in general. I'm locked into Sony's ecosystem at this point because it's my comfort zone and I haven't had the need to be elsewhere. I adopted PC gaming very late and so never took to it (I need a controller like a little bitch). That being said, I'd rather break every one of my own toes than behave like a fanboy for any megacorp.

You have more faith in people than I do. I'm betting the vast majority of people who can afford it will just accept it and it will become the norm, which will fuck over the people who can't. That's how these things always are.

This morning I was reminded by Hexbear that the CIA admitted to genocide in Indonesia in response to the book The Jakarta Method, but nobody cared. In fact, some dipshit Americans defended the CIA and downplayed the killings (presumably because they were communists, who we all know aren't human).

Right after that, I read about a guy who was sentenced to 40 years in prison for leaking CIA secrets. The US government was pursuing a life sentence. When the guy complained in court about torturous cell conditions and the vengeful nature of what the government was seeking, the judge was disappointed by his lack of remorse. Oh, and they conveniently discovered he was viewing CSAM whilst in prison and has been formally charged with that. So that means he will forever now be known as a pedophile and can never be pardoned without the person doing it being labelled a pedophile sympathiser. This all happened because he had a conscience and told the world their plans.

But no, no one is evil. We should all just stop being angry and smile or whatever.

Yes, YTA. The dude deserved it but I'd never voice that to a family member for no reason. And no, you later discovering that he made it up doesn't change anything, you're still the asshole because you had no clue they made it up at the time.

Damn shame their filthy settler parents put them in that position. Hamas isn't going to give up just because the occupiers brought their kids.

I'm paying rent now, not in the U.S. but in a major metropolitan city that easily stands with the likes of New York and L.A., and I make a fraction of 120k. Less than half, less than a third. So, yes, I would live like a king. Americans pretending that that isn't a fuckton of money are delusional.
