Nintendo is nowhere near the worst thing in the video game industry right now. Not saying I agree with everything they do, but compared to pretty much every other AAA? Their games actually feel like complete products on day 1, they don’t fire half their employees as soon as a game releases, they don’t try to get kids hooked on gambling, and they don’t fund genocide.
So just no one should have kids at all then?
In this economy, with record layoffs hitting many different industries, how can anyone be sure what the future holds?
I mind my own business
You’re weirdly fixated on wanting to blame people for having kids. That’s not even close to minding your own business.
“Just don’t lose your job”
Damn why didn’t I think of that?
A rising tide lifts all ships. A larger userbase doesn’t just mean “normies”, it means a wider variety of demographics, fandoms, and views.
And that in turn means that somewhere in the large userbase will be more people who match my freak. The main thing I used Reddit for was niche hobbies and fandoms, but over here I suspect I might be the only person on this platform who’s into my specific hyperfixations. If the userbase was large enough, there might be a chance to try and establish communities for some of those things.
But perhaps most importantly, I want this place to grow to prove that alternatives to the corporate social media platforms can succeed. And in order to do that, we do need “normies”, we need to pull them away from those corporate platforms.
Studies have shown that using cruelty as a deterrent doesn’t actually work.
There are people who deserve to be stripped of power and stopped from causing further suffering. But does making them suffer back actually accomplish anything productive?
In the short term, a lot of things will get worse before they get better. But in the long run, I do believe it eventually gets better.
Progress has always trended forwards. Look at where humanity was 50, 100, 200, 300 years ago.
Always get it in writing.

Fuck the Democratic establishment, especially Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. I don’t trust them any further than I can throw them.
But the voters are what’s giving me a little bit of hope for the future. The fact that so many solidly red states and districts could flip is seriously huge. It’s a sign that the winds of change are blowing in the right direction.
