First they came for the gamers, and I did not speak out, because I was focusing busy hitting a sick 360° quickscope on Angel City.
Oooh, I’m one of those! Gaming on foodstamps and social health in a US state, AMA.
How does it feel being rich???
Truly wonderful.
You need the gaming in this lifestyle to help divert attention from not being able to get comfort foods at month’s end.
Otherwise it leaves me all the time to realize the physical and mental hells I am putting myself through. I’ve been qualified for free health care for over a year, but I just arrived to the point where I can reach out and engage the system. I initially thought enrolling would come in handy if I get into an accident, but last week I made the call to start preventive treatments.
I have an appointment with an actual doctor next month. I am also getting the ball rolling on the emotional side. I was contemplating moving back home, but now I might give this current iteration some more time.
edit: i just reread the title (of course I didn’t read the article); I’m 40.
does jerking off while I’m supposed to be working count?
Been there, done that. Eventually you need to get up and go find a job.
Another boomer fucking idiot saying idiot fucking boomer shit because idiot fucking boomers voted like boomer fucking idiots.
He’s fucking Genx, my generation. I hate every GenXer that sold out. Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, remember we are fighting class warfare. Don’t let them divide us along generational lines. My good friend is a Boomer and is as liberal as can be. My two coworkers are GenX and both voted for Trump.
I’m also genx (xennial if it matters) and I’m referring to the boomer mindset, not the baby boomer generation. There are zoomers who voted for the current fascist regime and baby boomers who voted Harris. I hate generational warfare too, but “boomer” is a convenient term for an appalling mindset that can infect anyone, regardless of generation.
Didn’t he say this shit months ago?
This is just the “violent video games make people violent” argument from the 90s and 00s. Fear mongering at its core.
“These violent games make you violent!” “These cozy games make people lazy!”
Sometimes I think they just complain because it’s a fetish for them.
That darn avocado toast!
You know what, he’s right. I’ll go get off my ass to spend the evening running my 2 million dollar quarts mine and then swing by my 875k dollar quarts furnaces, weight seperation, flotation cells, and crystalization facility to create a bunch of semiconductor grade silicon used in solar and electronics production.
OH WAIT! I DON’T HAVE $3M FACILITIES TO RUN! Somebody else is out there doing the work that used to take a hundred men. The world doesn’t need us all doing 12 hour days, the world wouldn’t take us if we even offered.
claims mouthpiece of the medical insurance industry
FTFY
I’d be interested to know how I can pay my electricity bill with my free healthcare. Also I need to go to the supermarket today; how do I convert free healthcare into a trolleyful of food?
Also where the fuck is this free healthcare?
Can these monsters please just fuck off!
Where is this free healthcare? Because I’m paying out the ass for my very minimal coverage.
Shut the fuck up, boomer. No seriously, get that dated, old man yells at cloud bullshit out of politics.
The argument is utterly stupid.
Ignoring that it is building on a fantasy reality for the moment. Even if you had free healthcare, and if only the financial costs of survival motivated people to get jobs, then the other costs of living, like for food and shelter, would still provide that motivation.
Um also, can I get some of that free healthcare? Cuz I have NEVER received free healthcare in my life!
The problem is that voters are so damn stupid that someone can make a statement like this without being interrogated.
Or the media will be like “Yeah, that makes sense” and will not push back.
Yeah they just move on and don’t even call out the lie. Then people see it and assume it’s true
