I’m mostly worried about the Harbor Freight shirts, cause there’s one down the street from the clothing bin I usually drop stuff in. The construction contractors not so much cause outside of construction sites, no one really says anything about em
Of course there’s a name for this. There’s a name for all the other stuff that I didn’t realize were symptoms until an article about it came across my radar. Why would this be any different?
old songs just randomly pop up on the internet all the time. a couple weeks ago it was it was Chicken in Black by Johnny Cash. A bit before then it was She’s a Lady by Tom Jones.
aside from what everyone else said, they killed the beloved Unreal Tournament series, which is a huge sour spot for older gamers who fondly remember those. Then there’s the excessive microtransaction demand inside Fortnite, a game with a large playerbase under the age of 18. That alone led to two major lawsuits that they both lost
I remember seeing ads on my phone saying “if you bought a game on steam, you could be entitled to financial compensation” since like a year and a half ago. I didn’t look any further cause I didn’t wanna see a thousand ads for legal mumbo jumbo, but I just thought there were a few isolated incidents of ripoff pricing or phony game sales
Thanks for the correction. That helps me better understand how counteracting pollution works
aside from the obvious “rich people exploiting the environment with their hippy party that costs $200 for their cheapest tickets,” I saw a video online that brought up a good point that I never considered. The cost of lumber has increased exponentially in the past 3 years alone, jumping to nearly $1700 per 1000 feet at its peak in 2021, but staying between $400 and $600 per 1000 feet in recent months (still high compared to say 10 years ago.) And these people are buying tens of thousands of feet of lumber solely to burn it away in the middle of nowhere where there’s little vegetation to absorb the excess CO2 waste. That, along with the climate change protesters being police brutalized just before the event, really puts a sour taste in people’s mouths. Especially in a time where “once in a lifetime” weather events seem to be back-to-back.

there are some ahem “works of fiction” that not only explore that, but also refer to it as “selfcest”
so… yes and no? yesn’t?
