After years of reddit/twitter/facebook propping up fascism/bigotry with algorithms & bots I'm honestly surprised and relieved to be in an online space that clearly rejects their ideology....
I genuinely don't believe you understand what fascism means. I don't mean that to be rude, or upsetting or dismissive, at least not in this comment. I think you should read up on what fascism in general, not just Nazism is.
Here are some relatively easy to digest, helpful articles:
That was the part that killed my trust in the company, they lied about so much! And they kept lying with the video embargo, they didn't let reviewers use their own footage if the review came out before the game did. That's such a huge breach of trust. And that's not even accounting for the fact that the game was literally unplayable on PS4.
The game was fine and playable on PC albeit with a ton of weird glitches and broken systems, but I don't think I can give them a single dollar of my money going forward. I can't justify giving people like that my hard earned money.
Thing is they do it because it works most of the time. Most gamers have the memory of a goldfish and they'll read that statement and go "yeah I guess it wasn't that bad" and keep giving people that constantly lie to them money. That's unfortunately how it is.
We arguably live in a golden age of gaming, there are so many goddamn games to play and people still swarm to the one made by companies that fucking killed people and are actively working to milk as much money out of you as possible and to make the hobby you enjoy worse in the long run in favor for short term profits. This is why people don't take you people seriously.
I don't think I agree with this "nobody has time" thing. Most people don't get that excuse, you can usually make time, most people just choose not to. Do you make time to shower and brush your teeth?
I understand that there are food deserts and some people legitimately work multiple jobs and have kids and that fast food or microwavable dinners and generally unhealthy foods are quick and convenient and affordable but cooking your food doesn't take that much time and not drinking soda frequently takes no time.
Also it's not like veggies and lean meats like chicken are expensive for most people in the US. You can genuinely fill up your basket with lots of leafy greens, veggies, mushrooms and some animal protein for significantly cheaper than with junk food and microwavable dinners, hot pockets, deli meats and cheeses and bread. Unless you live in Alaska maybe.
Not being dismissive of peoples' struggles, a ton of us are being overworked for less money than we're worth, but if you need to you'll make time, you figure it out. Yeah there's sugar in everything processed, cool, you have affordable options that admittedly take a bit of effort to prepare and don't taste as good, but we can eat those and we can eat less. Overeating, constant junk snacking and portion size is also a huge issue in our culture.
It really isn't unless you maybe live exclusively on the $1, $2, $3 menu from mcdonalds.
Veggies, at least in most of the US, are pretty cheap as is lean protein. But it doesn't taste as good as Chex Mix and a McDouble and they have to take the time and effort to cool/prepare it, so people use that excuse.
frozen cubes of garlic save a ton of time breaking open cloves
I take issue with that one specifically. Frozen, jarred, canned, tinned or tubed garlic is so much worse than freshly chopped garlic and it really isn't that much of a hassle to peel and chop it.
I'm lazy as shit and use tons of garlic and you just smash it with the broad side of the knife and give it a little slap slap to chop it up and you're done. I've never had non fresh garlic that's anywhere near as good as fresh garlic, same with ginger. Pickled ginger's good too, but it's not the same thing as regular ginger and isn't interchangeable in most recipes.
I'm not even that much of a snob about fresh ingredients, I almost exclusively use refrigerated lemon and lime juice because I don't go through those often enough to keep them fresh and it's 95% there, but garlic is probably the one thing that I refuse to get preprocessed.
Clean as you go, don't just leave it all for the end. Onions are sauteing and you're done chopping everything? Good, wash your cutting board and knife and clean up any messes before the next step. Sausage is done browning and you're dumping it in with the onions for a minute with the garlic and some herbs? Great, wash that pan and spoon and set it down to dry and wipe up all the oil splashes.
Just makes clean up so much easier after you've eaten and you're much more efficiently using your time.
So yeah... maybe the turtle slowly waking up that he was just a Laptog for reddit and thrown away as soon as they didnt need him anymore ( moderation is allways a volunteer thing and shouldnt be like a 2nd job ).
It's not even a standoff, an asshole working at Reddit (probably not even the CEO) fired an unpaid volunteer and they're ugly crying while drinking boxed wine and freaking out about how they're gonna regret letting them go online.
It's entirely one sided and nobody really gives a single shit about this dummy. I hope they get the help they desperately need.

Personality i would pick Bernie Sanders but he's unfortunately too old now but i would love a President that isn't crazy enough and would focus on just getting the Nation healed from the Craziness that happened.
I was actually thinking about Jon Stewart earlier today. I'd probably vote for him: he's an intelligent, empathetic and charismatic guy, doesn't want to be in power and has done more good for Americans than a huge chunk of professional politicians in this country of ours.
