There’s a developer that makes games for young kids on the App Store and I always liked them because it was simple: pay for the game once, no tracking, no subscriptions.
They’ve been bought out by some other company. There was a game my daughter loved that’s now part of a bundle which requires (a) a subscription (an expensive one), (b) an email address, and (c) data tracking.
Capitalism requires scarcity to function. Where scarcity doesn’t exist, capitalists will create it.
We will never live in a post-scarcity world under capitalism because capitalists will use whatever means necessary to prevent it.
They will buy up housing so they can charge rent, they will lock features you used to get as part of product ownership behind subscriptions, they will lobby to prevent newcomers from offering sustainable alternatives.
Prendre un poste de formatrice en insertion professionnelle et se retrouver dans les faits avec des missions de contrôleuse RSA 🤢
Combien de temps vais-je tenir?... 🥺😬 #travail#controlesocial#fuckcapitalism
#3goodthings, because I saw someone else do it just now
Had a long talk with an old friend over breakfast
Cousin Dave and family came through town for lunch and again, nice talk, especially with their two kids who I've never had an actual conversation with before
"The most blunt, honest assessment of your #COVID19 risk now exists in the terms and conditions section. You can find it buried somewhere in the legalese of every event you attend, every trip you take, and every restaurant you walk into. Our politicians lost no time passing Covid liability shields in virtually every state. They've always cared most about protecting businesses, not ordinary people like us."
US patent office and #Sony can both go fuck themselves. This dangerous precedent set by #Nintendo and #Sega is only continuing on a worse and worse path.
Make no mistake - this is a CONSCIOUS ATTACK on #indiedev and smaller #gamedev to completely push them out of the market.
I can't call off because the company only allows you to "take care of your health™". X number of times then it gets pissy with you for being a defective robot
"Ableism tells us some bodies are valuable & some are disposable . . . ableism has been forged with & through white supremacy, colonial conquest, capitalist domination, & heteropatriarchy so that bodies are valued for their ability to produce profit or have it extracted from them, or are otherwise excluded or eliminated through isolation, institutionalization, incarceration, &/or death"
I just don't have the fucking energy to keep struggling against a society that manufactures duress and unnecessary strife
I can't offset this shit, and I'm fucking breaking down
I'm so fucking sick of people acting like the issue is my fault for not compensating for an ever increasingly shitty society
Fucking pills don't magically offset the 300$ a month negative balance from just basic bills
Fucking "just talk to someone" doesn't alleviate the fucking fact that government officials and 25% of the country want to kill and erase trans, disabled, and every other fucking minority.
Fucking telling me to "get some help" doesn't help
I'm at a point of burned out that I need fucking help getting help to get the pitiful shitass 'help' that this piece of shit country calls "assistance"
I can't keep struggling against this shit, and
I HATE
I FUCKING HATE THAT THIS SOCIETY HAS BEEN MADE SHITTY ON PURPOSE
I FUCKING HATE THAT IT WILL NOT LET ME FUCK LIVE MY LIFE
Traurige Nachricht. Der einzige reine Lupinenproduktehersteller kann am Markt nicht mehr bestehen.
Kapitalismus halt, die großen Gewinnen und die Kleinen haben keine Chance.
I love Adam Conover. His podcast/show Adam Ruins Everything was great but it ended in 2018? Then he started basically the same podcast but it's called Factually! He also does some videos on YT and he's basically all #FuckCars#FuckBillionaires#FuckRacism#FuckCapitalism#ElonIsADumbfuck ... Yeah, good stuff.
